On Site/premises, only difference being travelling costs maybe a little extra for loan of premises (I have a agreement locally).
As I say, figures off the top of my head, but I wouldn't be far out I don't think.
Prices based on stock engine, stock twin tubbies, so would only need a stock ECU.

hock:You'd need a new propshaft, would be advisable to upgrade the brakes, new downpipe etc, and the custom work would be huge.

Must agree, a custom exhaust would cost more then £400 in materials i'd imagine

You'd only need a new front half, unless the IS rear is weak, custom front prop £180 (just had one made for the Aristo T51 project)
When do brakes come into an engine conversion costing? :blink:
What custom work would be huge?
Seem to be loosing track, we're talking about an engine conversion. You wouldn't need a full custom exhaust, the custom bit would be the front section.

Roadside Tech When do brakes come into an engine conversion costing? :blink:Surely when you do an engine conversion you need to check the rest of the car can handle it. You wouldn't put a hugely uprated engine in if you thought the brakes weren't up to the job, surely ? So it's sensible to cost things like that in.

Custom work would be huge like physically getting it all in, engine mounts etc, getting the a/c working, all the ancillaries connected back up, cooling and pretty much everything in the engine bay, as well as the front end of the exhaust and propshaft as you say. Also the electronics, things like the rev counter, etc, etc.
Sorry but I think you're hugely underestimating the work involved.

Not all of that would be involved Stevie, if using the standard ecus side by side (much like marcus currently is) would solve a lot of the problems.
but AFAIK the engine wont go straight in, your right about engine mounts, but does the sump not need modifying as well?
As for the exhaust, yes you could just make a front section but it'd be very restrictive IMHO as the IS exhaust is pretty small.
Also what Gearbox would you use a i said before about how rare the r154 is getting.
not trying to doubt your work, just asking questions i have in case somethings been missed.

its a very basic way of doing it.
without a custom ECU and full exhaust it'd be very limited. i doubt you;d get the standard 320bhp (or 280 for a jap engine) out of it.
I must stress this is just my thoughts. and i'd love to see it completed.

I don't mean to be rude, but what is it you do for a living? I don't mind being doubted by another mechanic, but not another IT guy who's got his experience by the internet.
I've probably done 5 or 6 conversions over the years, Toyota engines in Nissans, Yanky into Toyota, auto to manual conversions etc blah etc blah
Brakes, tyres, suspension, underpants, chassis rigidity, diff etc should all be considered when tuning. The thread title is about an engine conversion and a guy through his engine options and some prices that are already out there. Are the other prices quoted anything other than for a running engine conversion?
