Do not forget if he goes FMIC than he has to get a Greddy intake manifold or a knockoff. It starts adding up. The person that posted have around 7k if you want to go all the way is pretty much on target. To do it up right and nice is by no means cheap
Break it down like this
RB25DET clip $2500
install kit: around $500-600
Driveshaft made $200
FMIC if you choose to go $350 minimum maybe more
Radiator the inexpensive way is to run a S14 radiator $50
Oil cooler is not needed.
catch cans are optional
fuel pump $90 walbro
electric fans $200-300 you should run at least two
wiring $375
Greddy Intake $650
new clutch $200 minimum
hoses $50-100
electronic boost controller minimum $200 for a decent one.
3 inch downpipe $200
exhaust system $200-350
Right here with the list above its cresting 5k, and this is you putting it in yourself and doing it right.
I probably left something out as well as that was just off the top of my head.
If you want be cheap than go RB20 but it will not be as nice. If you want someone to do a cheap job that will bite your ass later? Go buy that engine posted for the $2700 install price.
Honestly I would not trust an engine that is being sold and installed for $2700, its to damn cheap to be good or done right.
