    pftt dc5r is a ricers car LOL!

    back onto the thread..imo unless you have money to burn, you will be saving alot of money and no headaches buying a honda with a k series convertion already done to it.
    you just have to be patient, there seems to be alot of bargain sales that come up once in awhile.

    all new fluids/some gaskets etc = 200
    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...

    prices will vary depending on parts, condition etc etc etc.

    so, best is to directly ask the provider of the engine/parts and person or shop whos going to do the conversion for you.
    expect to pay roughly $15k....on top of that u gotta think about costs of upgrading brakes, engineer cert, blue slip, etc..

    YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO THINK OF IT

    or go and do your own research

    dont expect to be spoonfed everything

    budget 12k for a basic backyard swap and up to 20k for an all out hardcore swap

    7.5k min for engine, and the rest on labour, parts etc etc etc

    also have a look here
