uuuu your kidding me right? 1000 bucks. Shouldnt this take just a few hours...My mechanic only charged me 500 in labor for a complete engine rebuild wich required all that and a little more...
I have a series 4 car with 89 engine and s4 turbo. Thats why I ask.

That was a good deal, then, depending on what was charged for the parts. An in-car rebuild in my area is about $2,000 parts & labor.
Reading the original post again, I see that the question is about a J-spec TII, not an American model. Yes, this will be more expensive than an American TII engine because they are not 100% interchangeable. I would ask the mechanic who rebuilt the engine what he would charge for this, as it looks like his pricing is pretty good.

Ok...I paid 23oo for my complete engine rebuild. Im just saying I paid 500 for 12 hours labor including taking the engine out , rebuilding and putting it back in... I was just asking how much it would cost for a mechanic to just put one in from japan already dressed. The one thats in thier now is jspec so it should swap right in?
SO how much ya think...I mean its not important i can just call the guy up and ask. Thnx
