Reasonable Price?

[Fuzz420]

I went to one of the local performance shops this afternoon to shoot the breeze. I gave them a run down on what i had, and what i wanted to do.
Long story short to completely convert my car to turbo from n/a to turbo,install a full suspension setup,mhg,custom i/c pipes, and custom dp they were asking around 2500-3k. As of now they want me to write everything down and come back so they can verify my parts list.

If they do ALL of that (the right way) for that price, you will be walking away with a steal.

Parts will end up costing a lot more than that, so I say once you give them a list and they start really looking at the project, the price will go WAY up.

hell, if someone offered to do mine for 5, i would have handed them cash right there! No joke,

Wait till you really get deep into the swap, im thousands in right now, and it doesn't even run yet!

If you want a real, full price list of what it cost me so far, PM me

OH MY GOD.... 3k? at the TOP end of the estimate? hell...thats....a miniscule price.

would that be na-t or a full out swap? some engines can cost half that, and then you have labor, and the other parts your getting.....

Let me clarify i have the following parts:

90+ wiring harness
90+ 5speed ecu and everything else needed to change the electronics
stock 440 and rc 550 injectors
stock ct and Jt56 lighting /w lipp elbow
stock i/c and speaco replica
stock exhaust manifold
Associated manifold and turbo heat sheilds
Tial Blow off Valve
Aeromotive Fuel pressure regulator kit
Walbro Fuel Pump Kit
Spec Stage 3+ clutch kit
Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel
Koni Yellow Shocks
H&R Springs
Tanabe Front and Rear Sway Bars
Cusco Front And Rear Strut Tower Bars
Goodridge Stainless Steel Brake Lines
Full Maft-pro Kit w/ speed density,and boost control
Innovative Lm-1 Wideband
Blitz Nur Spec R Exhaust

Now things i need are assorted gauges (which ill pick up)
Intercooler and downpiping (The shop will do those)
Oil Lines (still havent figured that one out yet)
Full bushing set for the whole car
Metal Head Gasket and arp's

And propobly an few misc. things im leaving out.

They will be installing all this minus the maft pro, but thats not a problem.Once they see how easy it is im sure they will knock it right out. All this work for 2500-3k.Sound Resonable?

Yes, that is still a lot of work the shop has to do, very time consuming.

I say you shoud do at least some of the work yourself like:
Suspension
Exhaust Manifold/turrbo/heat sheilds
Rear and front srut bars
IC and Ic pipes and BOV

Those things you can easily do your self and save you a shit load of $$$$$

Well that was the plan i was going to have a buddy do my clutch/ flywheel setup, and my suspension setup, but do to unforseen circumstances he wont be able to do it, and im not mechanical savy so i have to take it to the pros

its really not hard...just use the TSRM and us.
IMO if you have a supra you should have the knowledge of how to do things yourself....

Can't spend money on the pros when you can do it your self in an hour and save a lot of $$$ trust i know....

things always broke and always sent it to my mech....
i ended up doing shit my self saved my like a grand.

For the oil lines, that REALLY stumped me for the longest time! Go to MDC motorsports and order there NA-T PRO kit. Has everything you need in there!

Dont forget, i wouldn't run all that boost on stock hoses and gaskets. Figure in AT LEAST another 500 for new hoses, gaskets and O rings.

Well Pro-kit it is then

Good call on the hoses forgot about them, but the gaskets i was already considering "misc"

A tube or two of FIPG will take care of most of the gaskets. Also, keep in mind in all the *little* things that REALLY add up!

Like having your oil pan drilled, cut and welded! Cost me 35 bucks....

And all this little shit. I spent almost fuckin 200+ bucks in jsut SHIPPING some parts!
