Can anyone give me an idea of how much it would be to take a shell with everything but the tranny an engine and swap a 20b in it?

 

20+k

 

I would look in the 20b section for the answers.

didnt even notice there was one, derp lol

 

+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?

 

it costs 10k for a 20b rebuild? wow, no thanks

 

10k would onlh be if u had to replace most of the housings and rotors, theres no way it would be 10 grand for a base rebuild no one would be driving one.

 

just for the fact of doing it
do something a little more rare than a 13b, was considering a 2jz swap as well

 

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

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 beileve u I was just clearing it up for silver I know it is expensive to rebuild a 20b
