guys, i've been getting alot of information and help from people in this forum, i'll really like to thank you all. but just want to know if i'll be really for the swap 9 weeks later, my budget's $5000(usd), not sure if it's enough, gonna order the clip from Venus Auto. here's the break down
Clip - $1500 Shipping to NYC - $878 ( i think it's really expensive, they said it includes a liftgate ) Labor - $1000 ( anyone here who could charge me cheaper than that i'll be more than happy to pay you ) balance now = $3378 remaining budget = $1622 what else would i need to get? i think i'll use the stock GT tranny for the time being, thought of getting a HKS SSQV BOV, Roo from bullet proof automotive was telling me that i'll need to get a FMIC, checked the price on EBAY that it's going around $300, how much would custom piping for the FMIC cost? i thought of getting the boost controller, and safc. please enlighten me wise ones. -------------------- |

i agree!!! take this advice from someone who has been through this before. dont buy any toys just yet! use the money to give the engine a full tune up while its out. this includes ignition parts, gaskets, timing belt, waterpump, thermostat, clutch, pressure plate, etc. then when all is said and done and you know you have a perfectly good, running car, start thinking of a fmic and exhasut. after that you can mod it all you want.
