Well see - there you go. Perfect example. $5000 in the car and another $7000 for the TT swap.. that’s $12,000 in so far. That’s right in line with most swaps I see these days.
Now - I submit that one could easily find a nice native TT in good condition for say.. $7k or $8k. Here is a good example I pulled off of Autotrader today:
1992 NISSAN 300ZX, twin turbo, 87k miles, fully loaded, ac, pwr windows, leather seats, t tops ect, j.d.m. rims with lip, ac gauges, hks intake, hks b.o.v, apexi boost controller,stillen exhaust, eiback & tokico setup, extremely clean & very reliable, auto, $8,000, 310-XXX-XXXX or 310-XXX-XXXX.
Now... $8 grand in and you have a WORKING TT already with goodies. Add some bigger turbos ($2K) an ECU ($200) and an R200 diff and tailshaft ($500) and you are in business with a TT that can put down 500whp... for less than $11 Grand. And the price drops if you haggle with the seller on the car, or sell off your old turbos, etc.. Point being - the swap may be cool and fun and allow you to keep your car, but it is usually cheaper and more reliable to go the natural TT route.
Regardless - you guys have fun. That’s what these cars are here for!
