How about the wiper motor?? I use this for a keyed 12 volt source for my aftermarket alarm. Other 12 volt sources that get power with the key under the hood....you could use one of the fusible links in the little covered box in front of the battery.

The VG30DE is a very tight fit and requires quite a bit a fab work.

What engine are you starting out with? There have been a few differant conversions done. Have a look in the hybrid section. There are a lot of discussions on what to swap in there.

SR motor = Lighter/has oober amounts of aftermarket support.
VG(24v) = Heavier than a built 350 sb. still has aftermarket support, Can make some crazy power, but costs a ton more. HAve you considered a KA24DE? Ie a 2.4 Liter DOHC 4cyl?

Yeah i though about  a KA but before anything i was just wondering if anyone has ever used the Sr20 out of the NX2000

There\'s a lot of junk that has to be changed to get it to work in RWD configuration.  It\'s doable, but a lot of work.  You can usually get a JDM SR20DE for a pretty fair price with the wiring harness, ecu, and tranny.  DE\'s get no respect, thus the low price.  I almost snagged one a while back for $400.  Plus, the FWD SR\'s have the distributor in the back of the head, so, if it\'s mounted in a RWD chassis, the distributor will be in the firewall.

So, I\'m guessing you\'re not wanting to go turbo?  I\'d still like to see a VG30DE in an S12, if you\'re not scared of the little fab work required...
