thats about 7800USD, seems a bit much... considering an j-spec and a rebuild cost me about 2k with a bunch of other parts. Mine should be less than 3k including what I paid for the car.

Way too much, you could buy a whole TII FC and get a rebuild for that.

yae thought so...the guy that told me works in a shop in vancouver that specializes in rotary engines...he said i would have to get computer crap and this and that
and blah and blah

10000 just for a tII swap? thats totally out of line....
It could be done for half of that really.....Max

The computer is usually not too much. anything between 50 and 150. you could buy and entire front clip off a japanese car and have it shipped to you house for like $3k USD mabey a little more and do everything fromt that.

if you have 10k to spend.... sell yours and buy a turbo II. my friend is selling a nice 90. (if he still has it)

there is ALOT of different parts. it's alot of work to do it "right".

but in the end you'd still be better off with a real turbo II...

lol im not going to pay 10000 to swap engine.

yae im just gona look for a cheap x7 turbo. i baught my first one for 13000 with only 47000km on it. thats a good deal?!?!?

homey_v

Does your swap Include the entire Drivetrain aswell? 10 grand? You could have It for less than half. I'd just stick with the NA and Invest the rest In a new home. Atleast thats what I'd do.
