It depends on which engine you go with and what power level you want.. Stock TII swap for like 3k i would think.. the aftermarket stuff is where it gets pricey.. Also if you are doing a rebuild/porting on it.. add 2,500 or so to that price

Nice looking ride. I am planning on doing a simular swap soon. Need to find a good 1st gen shell first (and buy my new house with a shop it's being built now). This project looks expensive. Is it much cheaper to go with a TII S5? Really wanted to take this route but i hope to go 1st Gen turbo for about 10K. The cost of the motor does not seem that much more expensive. You can get a front clip on ebay for like $3,500. This is a project i hope takes some time i plane to do all of the work myself. Can anybody offer an opinion on the cost diffrences between the 2.

Thanks

this is arguably the best first gen i've seen posted here.

the paint job is immaculate

no expense has been spared on the turbo upgrade...18-22k he said

(perhaps if i could be so bold to suggest throttle bodies rather than the original 3rd gen FI setup ?)

it is the ultimate sleeper

now lets see that dyno sheet

Thanks for all the nice things you have said about my car. I have to give a lot/most of the credit to scott over at mazsport for doing this drive train swap. The drive train swap was done after the car was painted and they didnt put a single mark on it. I know thats not the correct order to do this kind of work but I didnt think of dumping all that money in to the drive train untill after I saw how gorgeous the paint turned out. I am taking the car back soon to get the final tuning and dyno done I wil, l post results later. These things take time.

hell yes, welcome to the powerful side of life WOOWOOOO!
