Man this is awesome everytime I come here there is more feedback:aigo: Thanks guys. Drewgo and fastlane Ill definitely take you up on your offers. Im actually originally from Miami Drewgo. We moved north to PSL area about 6 years ago and Ive stayed ever since. But I visit my family down there all the time so we will definitely link up when I get back. Cruzinbill is that the ecu I will need for the swap? If so I will definitely take it off your hands when I come home.Shoot me a Pm with a price. I know the stock power of the 2j will only apeaze for a short time but I have to deal with it until Im done "intelligently" investing what I earn here. But I love power just like the next guy so we shall see. Plus when I left I got rid of my place :cry: both of my badass tvs:cry: and most of the rest of my shit :wtc: The only thing i really have left is the car and my knick knacks. Arz I was checking out you break kit and its absolutely gorgeous:aigo: . I especially like the 2 piece rotors. Do you sell replacement rotors and what do they run?? Oh and I didnt mean to sound like a jerk I just didnt know what you meant by "Im not going to answer your question" thats all. Typing doesnt properly project human emotion:3d_frown: But could anyone give me a round about on what the swap costs and I found a 2j just the motor on that tiger website or whatever for like 1400 is that a good deal and does anyone know if they are reliable or not? So many questions:crazy1: anyways Im running on here guys:rant2: Again thanks for the responses they help me get out of my head over here.

Rob, That awesome man that you can distract your mind with us here. I can't even begin to imagine how it get sometimes.
Anyways dude, I don't know where PSL is at but you are now committed to hanging with us...LOL
Anyways, regarding Tiger and the engine you sourced out. I have heard mixed reviews from them guys. I have my people I get engines from here locally and never have I had an issue. But if you want to look around I recommend a company called JHOT. They are on ebay and not sure if the have a commercial website. Very respected for the way they conduct business.
Here is a rough estimate at how much you are looking to spend. Again, this is what I pay for the swaps:
Motor & Tranny set(ecu,etc..) 2400
Intercooler & piping Labor included 700
Labor for install 1500
Assuming you have a 5speed turbo already, You'll need a bellhousing and flywheel which will run both for about 500.
There usually little things here and there but you are in the 5.5-6k ballpark.
As you get closer to build time you'll get a better idea...
