well it depends on if you're a dumbass or if you can do some work yourself... if you have the cash you can pay someone to put it in, and that's not hard at all...
As long as you have all the hookups (ECU, Harness, motor mounts, etc.) the only problem I've heard of is the crossmember under the car needs to be bent out of the way....no one ever gave a procedure on how to do that though.
i hate to say it, but it was tough... there's so many things that break, bend, or just simply go missing... me and my boys tried to perform the transplant... and we just simply gave up... we ended up not installing the turbo... the intercooler piping had to be custom-made or the hood modified... we're gonna try again in a few weeks and hopefully we finish... we're gonna just relocate the intercooler to the front of the radiator...
Originally posted by dookie how much did the whole swap cost. I too would like to do most of the work myself.
the whole swap is about $25 000... that's the motor, trans, wiring harness, reprogrammed ecu, pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft, custom cabonfiber oilpan, t4 turbo, apex intercooler, custom intercooler piping, and enough electronic controllers, sensors, and guages to monitor the space shuttle...
that's not including body work, suspension work, and chassis work... it's all good though... we're almost done and my girlfriend is still around... hahaha...
$25,000 or $2500.00.........I hope you didn't blast $25,000 on a nissan 200sx and if so, who's doing the work so i can personally take a flight to Chicago and charge them with ripping you off....
