Well by the time you pay for the 13brew engine, TII tranny, custom drive shaft, custom 3" stainless exhaust with 3 stainless borlas, custom down pipe, cast iron exhaust manifold, turbo, blow off valve, waste gate, custom 2.5" charge tubes, intercooler, custom mounts to make thigs fit, rebuild the 13brew and street port and polish, microtech computer, rebuild TII tranny and modify gear shift housing to fit perfectly in to the first gen, modify fuel injection system, 850cc injectors, flywheel, clutch, fabricate a new engine wiring harness, put a sump in the gas tank with new fuel pump and custom stainless fuel lines, battery relocation kit, ceramic coat alot of the stuff and pay for a talented person to design and install it all your looking at 18-22k. I dont know much about the turbo other then it is made by precisionturbo.

You and I sould get together and run down to one of their events and show them what a turboFB is all about. We could toy with Directfreak but I think he may still have alittle on us.

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
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.

very veryyy nice! but umm... one suggestion and i'm sure you will realize this once tuned but, don't waste your time with s2000's, 350z's, etc..etc... your prey will now be 600hp supras, vettes, porsche, and others of such stature
hell yes, welcome to the powerful side of life WOOWOOOO!
