Top idea. Saves on chopping the chassis etc!

To do it yourself can save money although time is always the factor.

Just remember with the motors you will have to do a cam belt and seals/...$200, the idler pulleys were just about shot in our last one.$100 and the pretensioner was seeping..$200 oh and new thermostat and water pump we also replace standard...plugs also are about $60-$80.. The crank angle sensor also ended up damaged and they are $320 new($60 used).

Also we used new nuts/bolts/hydralic clamps on water lines etc. Then little things like rubber ducting costs $50 meter, boost controller $120 good thermos $80+. They are not necessities on my car, although are on any conversion we do.

If you do not mind usung stuff in your garage...it can be done very reasonably.

Hey Anthony,

I must have missed that you had decided on an ej20t. Nice patience and focus to stay on track with the super... Neil obviously needs his space back, so go buy some pads.

Sorry I missed you neil, you were a good hour from me anyway. I got the message the day you were leaving.

I think only Neil really knows what im up to?

I'm not one to boast about things, or how much they cost me etc...

It's going to be good though isnt it Neil? You've helped me so much! 😁
