It hard to say how much it all will be, are you doing it or are you going to take it some where? if you are takeing it some where, you are then looking at £50 to £70 hour to work on your car and thats with out all the parts you need, and ontop of that if there is any custom work that needs doing 9 times out of 10 they will bill you for that as well, it all comes down to how much you got and what parts you want them to use?

Marsdendean Or why not save for one of Marcus - a 4l V8 twin turbo. A lot more, and im unsure on the benefits. or a 3SGTE like 2tongues has got.
Remember stav is now channging for a single turbo for more power
I'm only changing cause my turbo is shot, could just replace the turbo if i wanted.
you really need to decide the budget first then find the conversion to suit that.
thats how i did it.
I think there was some quotes from silverline banded about earlier.
7-7.5k for my conversion
9k ish for the 1jz
4k ish for the lightweight turbo setup from SPC
But i seriously suggest you set your budget first. i mean a nice budget. not a stretch yourself to the limit budget as something extra always pops up.
What budget were you thinking? also dont forget insurance. cant remember how old you are but under 25 and your looking at big insurance bills IMHO.

Roadside Tech 2JZ-GTE = £1000
Gearbox = £600
Slush fund = £500
FMIC = £400?
Custom work = £400
Fitting = £650
Total = £3550
Figures off the top of my head, so it's not an official quote
ECU and Mapping on top?
another £1.5k?
Custom work and fitting £1050? must say thats cheap.
Also not trying to pick, but what gearbox? as your not getting a 6 speed for that, w58 wont last long, and r154s are getting rare. Auto box?
fair play if you can do it. £5k for a 2jz conversion
Is that on site or at a/your premises?
