you should search, but from what ive gathered,rb25det swap = 2500mount/driveshaft kit = 1150you can stop there, or you can upgrade things, or even get the mount/driveshaft cheaper by custom making iti would begin upgradingfeul managementinjectorsturbointercoolerdownpipeintake pipeMAF

now i havent added all this up, but a big enough turbo and good enough tuning on good gas should be good for a 400+hp setup, which is what my goal is. What im researching now is the tuning aspect, for which is the best for the price, (im also not made of money so i have to save it where i can)

another aspect that comes into it, is are you doing the work yourself, there can be upto 3k if not more saved by doing the work yourself.

if i made any mistakes feel free to correct me

to do it properly wich means new clutch, timing belt, water pump, etc your looking at around 5000$ to get it in and running well.

so says the man who swapped his in and used the same timing belt and water pump

anytime swapping used jdm engines the prices can bounce around cause of costs of engine. you can search for what you need and tally up what u wanna get.

hahaha. $10,000+ give or take. that is, if you have a shop do it like me. not stock mind you. PFC, tune, greddy manifold, q45 TB, FMIC, T belt, water pump, clutch, drive shaft, mounts, custom radiator + fan, bov, etc, etc, etc. it never ends. not like going from D to B series in the honda world (price wise).. done that too, not effing around this time.
