do i needa change heaps of shit within the engine bay???? and wiring????

can any1 give me an estimate of how much it will cost???? not incuding the engine cos that all organised!!!!

[Weq]

Do it urself and it will cost nothing. I cant see you getting any change from anywhere between $1200-$2000+ from a workshop, it all depends on how many 'extras' they charge you for.

As far as the process goes, try a search on google, i'm sure there are more then a few writies.. THe EG vti is equivilent to an EX inthe US.

mates payed 10g's for a b18c in a eg5 Si but shouldnt be much different

10g's all up done by a work shop

Gawd thats a rip, I don't know why it costs so much, what sort of B18C was that but?

[SP0017]

thats way too much, some shops here do it for 8k here and still thats pricey

[totti]

you have to pay for quality, 10g's is expensive, but 7-8 is reasonable

pay the extra up front and you will be smiling ear to ear

[Weq]

Its not always true totti. Sometimes shops can take advantage of lack the lack of knowledge of a customer- the same as in any retail situation. If you arnt goign to do it yourself, still continue to research the conversion process. It will let you call bs when u get charged for something not needed/non-exsistant.

[CAT_SPEW]

Yeh thats true, shops take advantage of people who look like they know nothing about what they are doing.. But in most cases you get what you pay for, like Weq said research it ALOT before you go handing over any cash.

Get a well explained quote to, written and signed. Thing is, if you are talking B18C5, they will up the price immensely

10k is way to much for just a b18c swap. good performance offered 11k for a full race bred b20 hybrid, thats with everything done to it. and bigger brakes. and engineer certificate

10g is everything doen drive in drive out

guarenteed.

[ah789454]

yep drive, drive out in 10 days. guaranteed. charlie (owner of good performance) said if the engine doesnt do wot he told me it can do (performance wise) then i can bring it back. it comes with 10,000kms warranty
