I'm buying a FC soon and I need to know where I can get a good engine, transmission, ecu, ect.

 

Are you looking for rebuilds or remans?


Why are you picking up a rolling chasis?

ECU: do you want a stock one or aftermarket?

Same for the tranny? Stock, rebuilt, or aftermarket?

 

Look for something like this but cheaper. http://www.jspecautosports.com/catal...spx?prod_id=72

 

that is a damn good price for all that you are getting.

 

seems expensive to me, we can get them here for 1k cdn, same thing with the same amount of "jdm miles" , but I think the wiring harness is cut.
yes, I'm 110% sure on that price, for longblock, tranny, turbo, intercooler, ect.

 

Does anyone know how much a shop would charge to take out a old engine and put it a new one? haha i know its a lot but I cant do it myself...

 

If you can't do things yourself you might want to think about another car. These cars are a bit repair/upkeep intensive. Unless you have lots of money to burn on labor that is....

 

That sucks, I really love these cars but I can only do simple things like tune ups.

 

just buy a turbo 2 from someone selling one. their was a 499 rwhp FC sold on this forum not long ago for dirt cheap. Around here 5k will get you one nice t2 with mods

 

It's not worth it to get a chassis, then buy an engine and then pay someone else to do everything. But if you decide to do it yourself, you'll acquire a time intensive hobby :-).

 

I think i'll just wait to find a nice one for sale thats complete. The one I was gonna buy was a rx7 that has had problems but runs. I have about 5k so hopefully something will pop up near me.

 

check the for sale section 5k will get you a nice 89+ t2. I would not recommend spending 5k on a 87-88 t2 unless its above 300 rwhp.

 

AMEN.

 

one its not really hard to pull and drop amotor in to a shell a day 2 at the most

 

It is not exactly that easy. As well, the J-Spec injectors are different, requiring a J-**** harness. The UIM, and LIM are different as well. In cali, I could not use them because of smog reasons. Something to think about.
