Terrified.
This has got to be one of my favorite looking TII swaps done. DirectFreak holds it as my favorite FB, but this one is far far up there as well. Congrats on it, and I can't wait to hear the dyno numbers on this thing.

$119 plus shipping

You know the saying if, if you have to ask...
Seriously it was alot and I would have to look at my bill to figure out the cost for just the TII swap as I had Robert do several other things.

Atop of that, I was really hoping to do a TII swap in one of my FB's. Finances are getting far too tight now, though. I'm having to sell one of my FB's, and my engine popped in the one I was using as a daily driver. I've got to find another car now, plus I am in the process of buying a house as well.
Regardless of all that - you're car looks amazing, and the swap is great. Still going to be a dream for me to have a TII swap. For now I'll settle with a large streetported 12a (I'll start porting my engine soon).

that probably cost quite a pretty penny. when i do my swap i gotta stick with mostly oem stuff except exhaust n downpipe cause im low on the cash n dont have a job but hopefully in the next few months i'll be posting up about my fb TII.

Looks good..
Welcome to the FB TII family. It always make me feel better when I see that I am not the only person crazy enough to put a large amount of cash into a 20 year old car. Just a piece of advice you make want to protect your investment by letting your insurance company know what you did. I got a agreed value policy to cover my 20K.

I have only driven the car for about an hour today and it is a blast. The turbo kicks in fast and strong @ around 15psi. Man I am going to be getting into lots of trouble with this thing.
