dc5 engine into dc4

[stanleym]

how much work would be involved in dropping dc5 engine into dc4?

i kno it would need to support harness but what other parts etc do u guys think

[destrukshn]

LOTS!
net mountings, if your paying someone to do it, like a workshop or so, i'd say around 15000?

i said workshops or so.
like a reputable one.
parts along should cost you around 10k for the motor box, and all hardware to put it in such as mounts and crap.

labour add a couple k on top.

You need to remember that with a conversion like this, lots of little things will pop up. The obviouse things like engine mounts, radiator, custom power steering hoses, custom intake and exhaust, aftermarket ecu etc etc. I would say that 10 to 15k is a reasonable figure if u dont plan on doing any of the work yourself.

There was a car here that already did a conversion, was for sale, I remember see it on clubrsx, and I think it was also posted on here. Wouldn't hurt to ask him! (Not that I can remember who it was) but there was one!

stanleym, be prepared for a big bill at the end of such a conversion.
My recommendation on what you need and require to perform a k20 swap into your dc, is to contact Yonas (username: EG5) from JDM Yard as he is one of a few ppl who are responsible for the recent success of BADHBT.
He'll be able to tell you exactly what is needed, as well as a provide you with a more educated guess as to how much an install would cost.

frined got a k20a2 rebuilt with JDM k20a internals, titanium header, raidiator,JDM ECU, Hasport mounts, for 11k and costing him about 2-3k for labour

but the engine with out the high comp internals was alot moer so take away about 2k so for astock k20a2 15 is a bit high i rekon

depneds where u get your work done and what u pay for the engine.

[|N|]

i know someone that has done a k into ek just recently
his a mech ... let me know if u need his contact

[stanleym]
