How much will it cost me to get this thing running.

I want coilovers to drift cheapest nicest ones. I might get used ones. I want an FMIC. I want to get the cheapest one possible one of my buddies got an R32 Skyline GTR one which worked pretty well. I want to do something like that but will piping be an issue? I picked up a used T28 turbo from an S15 on ebay and 480cc injectors. I have RX7 rims im going to use. Well just help me with my project. Im terms of cost what can I expect. I want some bolt on goodies too with it such as boost controler too.

I got an SR20det with ECU,Wiring harness, Ignitor already for 1500 bucks. I just need MAF sensor.

I have the exhuast and down pipe covered. I just need the basics to get the car moving.

My friend is doing the swap for me for free. I am a lucky guy got the car for free and labor for free. I only want to spend about 5k in mods on the car with out the engine. I know I am going to need 300ZX TT brakes.

FYI.. cheap is not always good. Just because you got a free 240, doesn't really mean this isn't going to cost you quite a bit of money.

I'd suggest before you start buying stuff for your car, make a budget and see if you can afford this swap.

Well, for starters you'll need an upgraded radiator & clutch.

The Z brakes will be at least another 400, and you cant forget about tires, and an oil cooler is usualy a good idea when drifting. Also, your going to want somthing to make sure all the expesive parts under the hood dont go pffffffffffffttttt, extra gauges are a must, boost, oil psi, EGT and a wide band o2 if you ever want to seriosly tune your ecu

Call or go to heavythrottle.com they got a swap package that works well, just tell them to minus the motor set.
