Default thinking of selling the wrx (want new project)

so i was thinking that i might want to sell the wrx... and i was looking for some advise on what my next project should be. i want to stay with a turbo car and i would like it to be awd or rwd but i am not saying fwd is out of the picture. i just really am thinking that i might want to try my luck at something new. i really like the idea of a 240 with a sr20 but i dont know much about them and i dont know how to get my hands on one. how tuneable is the sr20 and how much does it cost? is it realitivly cheap? i am just looking for a new fun project thats all.

SR20's are fun, cuz you can go several routes to make power with them....and there's tons of stuff on the market for them...well, a rapidly increasing number of things as they become available from japan....I recomment it

i don't know of any local....there's ALWAYS some on ebay for sale......most people consider the SR swap the next easiest to Honda swaps, it's not bad at all. You can usually find one with a basic swap for around $5k and up.

I would go the sr20 route....best bang for the buck if you want a turbo import.

definitely best bang for the buck......probably the easiest engine to make HP with boost.....well, maybe not easiest, most responsive to boost put it that way......If you haven't looked around the internet for them much yet, SR20's making between 400 - 500 HP on stock internals are a dime a dozen....Big ass turbo, and garden hose fuel line and you're making big HP
