yep the exhaust manifold bolts straihght on

but what else would be needed for it to work???

 

[Fred@BTM]

oil feed and drain, water feed, pipework, intercooler, bits and bobs, down pipe


guess what i'm doing next to mine (already have the parts)

 

[matty J]

how much would this all cost???

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Unless you can do the work yourself its gona cost shed loads of cash, you may as well buy a faster car.

 

[Fred@BTM]

^yep

mechanically its not that complicated

have my BAM engine all built up ready to go in my car when work drops down a bit, so far its cost me £1200, all i have got to get sorted now is driveshafts.
I know its going to take around 30 hours all in to get it all sorted and running, so imagine what that would cost me if I had to pay someone to do the job.

 

[matty J]

ok then will just do as i planned and play with it alittle and no turbo

would having a bigger engine bay help reduce the labour? I'm thinking of a project involving a 19 and a vag lump

labour is always the killer in these engine jobs, so unelss you can do it yourself your pretty rubber ducked
