You should factor dyno time and tune in.

fuel lines plus fuel pumps as you need to change your fuel delivery

run coil packs unless you wanna hack your fire wall

might want to look at a new radiator too


thats all off the top of my head

good luck.

thats an expensive exhaust manifold.
getting toda or something? lol
and depends what u want for u to decided black to silvertop.

blacktop rev's higher, makes more power but has a weaker bottom end.
but they arnt as weak as people make them out to be.
Beau Yates run a standard black top turbo'd etc for 6-8months i think until he killed it. engine wise completly stock with heaps of bolt ons. compression locked and thats when it finally died 6-8months later.

hey thanks monk i was budgetting for about 10k and a bit if needed. umm i want the disc to disc i like that i idea. and i also need it. the conversion gonna be done in my already converted bigport motor sprinter. reason why im changing is cause i bought the car wih the conversion done but i thinkitsa bit dodgy. so im gonna do it (try to) do it the right way the first time.

oh hey monk i forgot about coil packs how much are those for? and radiator i was going to get mayb a hyundai radiator.

d1 spec thanks for input. just want to make me get the black just a little bit more now. lol.

[exquisit]

lol d1spec.... not every1 is a tite ass n wants to buy 2nd hand $200 exh manifolds so y not jus leave him be?

red sprinter: i got coilpacks n leads to suit 20v... they are off my car so it will have no probs runnin in urs
pm me if u want more info or help wif ur conversion
=)

Wow there are a couple things on that list that must be 24crt gold plated or something....you need to search around a find some good people to supply you with parts.

And i dont usually agree with D1 Spec lol....but hes right also.

You're an idiot. D1Spec was talking about the budget he listed for the exhaust. 2grand is alot for an exhaust.
A grand to 1200 is justifiable, but 2grand would wanna be fucking special.

So why not just leave D1Spec be?

[slydar]

ill make it really simple.

$4850 drive in drive out at kaizen garage. supply and fit every part.

silver top 20v running adaptronic engine managment fully tuned and making over 110 RWHP.

new clutch, oil, belts and seals.

heater working.

no firewall mods.

^^^ what he said, save yourself the heartache, unless you really want to do it yourself.

[redsprinter]

thinking about it if any body knows a works shop in sydney that can do it for around that price post it cause im interested. i guess i wouldnt mine doing it myself. good experince??? lol headache and everything. =)
