cost of a TII swap?
I'm going to probably have to have a rebuild done soon, but I was just wondering how much a TurboII swap would cost. I searched around a lot, and found lots of good info on how to do it, but not so much on costs. What are the estimated costs for the engine, rear end, tranny, and all the other goodies I would need? And what would labor fees run around? I'd do it myself, but unfortunately I just don't have the time anymore to devote to a project like this.

motor and tranny- 1200.00
exhaust- 300 to 600
rear end- not needed for the swap (you should eventually do it)
ecu- 75.00
afm- 50-100
downpipe-100
tune up and fluids-100
pressure sensor- 30
walbro fuel pump- 100
(these are all estimates, prices may vary but not much)
i think that just about covers the parts
use your n/a harness
labor can vary, but i would think around 500.00
i know your busy but if i was you i would try to d it myself, either plan a weekend or 2 saturdays or some thing, if not probably like 500.00
for those of you who have done this swap as well feel free to add anything i missed

Whatever you estimate, add about anouther $1000-1500 to it, and another 3 weeks. Thats about the real cost. Its not as bolt is as everyone says it is, and there are always small nickel/dine problems that come up to bite ya in the a$$.

i dont think its fair so put down water pump, throttle body, rad, front cover, seals and orings, for the simple fact that when you get your motor from japan it has all of this, you obviouly have a special case,
you do need 2 heather hoses ( i left that out)

now image you only start off with a block.
2300 for a t2 block.
400 for complete driveline
250 for wideband 02 sensor.
400 for a useb bnr turbo, with downpipe and manifold.
1100 for haltech and 2 1600cc injectors
500 for FPR, lines, and fittings
save yourself around 5 grand. i got good deals where i could, so yeah. you also run into allot of problems.

No, you do not need new motor mounts, but they are usually trashed and need to be replaced.
I got out way cheaper than you guys.
Seriously, search around. It can be done for less than 3K super easy. For me, less than $2500.

Yes, but it is cool having all of this. What else would I do with my time, or what would I sell to my customers needed parts when we build their motors. Got to get on two 12a in the next week. The sweet 83 over at the house is getting a new heart and then the 79sa.
