1500 for a full turbo 2 swap though? i mean that pretty insane and there thousands of low mileage honda engines that get imported all over the world so the fact a low mileage import doesnt bother me.
so maybe if lucky someone can do a turbo swap to a na vert(me) for like 2.5 -3 k
thats what it seems like to me

jdm importers are hit and miss. japan2la is the only good one simply because he knows a lot about rx7's, so he can sell the phew that end up being good.
this is what i did. i had an engine builder on this forum make me a short block, and i found a t2 tranny for cheap locally. the engine was 2300 bucks shipped, and then the tranny was about 200 bucks locally. so far, i have a tranny that shifts smooth as butter, and i have an engine that after 30k miles, still purrs like a kitten.
3.8 to 4.5K for a complete swap is very doable --- but you really have to source and do all work your self.
if you think 4K is expensive ---- then you should just forget the swap idea altogether.
Im in process of rebuilding my S5 NA myself, seals alone already cost like 2K --- I know thats because I want ceramic but even with Mazda seals it will be in the 1.3-5 K range. does NOT include rotors and/or any housing.

im in northern va.
what im looking for is a quick way to get some power going and a nice set up. im not looking for hugness at the moment 4.5k is reasonable imo but of course something that is 2k will be quicker for me (as long as it doesnt blow up)

I went with some random JDM importer years ago. I spent $1,500 on a S4 13-B turbo engine, transmission, and all manifolds/harness/etc. The engine was fucked... It really is HIT OR MISS. I spent another $2,700 to have it rebuilt. I wish I would have done a lot more research and bought from someone on this forum or dealt with a reputable importer like: japan2la. Don't get me wrong... I love my engine. But I spent a lot of money.
