paid $1500 for the engine + wiring loom and did all the electrical myself (as im an electronics engineer)..single turbo but not twin (used the one off my gr but had to extend the manifold as the 6a13 was alil wider...just needs a tune now greddy ultimate going in. in total i think i spent just over 3k but thats with buying the ecu and service
...should hear the exhaust note
:D:D hehe sounds tough.

Cool..
So yeah manifold and all that would have been used from the turbo 6A12.. So that saves about 1k.. And doing the wiring saves a shitload as well..
But yeah, far out that is a good price..

i guess it was under 3k because i used my existing turbo setup again, which saved me a fair bit..but all in all im happy with the result
...ill be sure to come to the next vic meet up when ever that is
