intake/headers/exhaust = 1500
ECU/Hondata = 1500
misc bits and pieces i cant think of = 200
rad/hoses/fan = 300 - 1k
If your EG isnt EFi = 600
brakes/suspension upgraded = 1-3k
engineers cert/registration/RWC etc = 2k

Adds up real quick. They are some quick estimates for you.. I'm sure theres things i missed.

You could save money buying used parts etc.. But overall, the swap ends up expensive in the end. You will no doubt find things that need replacing along the way aswell.. I just spend close to $100 on 2 new OEM ball joints that needed replacing... All these things add up...

here.

Errr, Out of curiosity, whys an engineers cert cost 2k?

**Lil Dan** · 26-10-2008 06:55 PM

I think its normally somethin like 700-800 bucks, but factor into the equation that there's the chance you will have to fix up other stuff you were unaware of when you put it through inspection and itll bump up.

Thanks Dan, I hope you're right... 2k Seems way too unreasonable

yeah it is toda just put up its price by 45%

**Henessaayyy** · 26-10-2008 07:45 PM

Thanks Lukezen, Thats heaps more helpful.. Seeing $2k scared the crap out of me...
So the price of engineers cert. is different compared to how heavily modified your car is?

Lets say we had a EK with a K20 in it with coil over, asr sub frame, struts, ctr swaybars and some aftermarket LCAs... Stock K20 though .. ?
Wouldn't be as much as $800 right?

$800 is normal and I doubt you'll get much lower
