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. -------------------- |

Dont forget replacing seals and worn out hoses. I can almost gaurentee that that extra $800 that you THINK you'll have will be gone... you'll probably have to dip into some other funds too. I know you dont think it could happen... but it will... IT WILL IT WILL IT WILL! I spent an extra 2k past my estimated swap cost. and that was with no labor charges. You can run the engine on the stock exhaust... your gas milage will be incredible. So don't worry about the exhaust just yet. And after you've driven it on the stock exhaust.. and you finally do get the full setup... you will be blown away at the difference!
P.S. How many miles on the clip? If it's 40k or more think about a valve adjustment also. This post has been edited by Doge: Nov 7, 2004 - 6:53 PM |
