+1.... This is $20k+ in parts alone.
The problem with 20B's, other then the fact that everything is compoundingly expensive, is that they are getting more rare. The $4500 jspec engine is simply a core, and from there, you will spend almost twice that to have it rebuilt properly. From there it's a web of fabrication, fitment and exceedingly expensive parts. The turbo, 20B manifolds, ECU, fuel system and all the fun stuff adds up so quick you will see that $20k bank account disappear!
The real question is, what are your power goals? You can create a no BS 10 second street car with a 13B and a proper setup.
So I ask.... why?

My original statement stands. As mentioned, good example 20B's are getting more rare. The probability that you would have to replace internals is very likely. Do some research...
Not to mention, if you are putting a 20B in an FD, why on Earth would you consider a basic rebuild?

I said almost twice. Twice is $9k. Initial cost is $4.5k. Almost twice would be around $6-7k.
