Hey there guys,



Just wondering, how much does a 20B go for in the states? They go for about $4,500AUD over here and that's for a cheap one... Cheers

Nippon Motors sells them for $2500 american. Last year they sold them for $2200 american. It's hard to find anything that cheap, and near impossible to find something cheaper.



$2500-$4500 is the range.

$3000-$3500 is the most common prices.

well for the fc you need, motor mounts ($199.95!), giant radiator ($400), intercooler ($900), clutch & flywheel ($750-2000). if you want a big single turbo that needs to be added in, as well as an engine rebuild/porting if you choose. you also need an ecu ($750-8000), and misc ic pipes, fans wiring etc.

Try more like $30-40K to have someone else do it professionally...and correctly...the first time. You're best bet is to go and buy all your parts you will need for the project, ecu, wiring, piping, etc, and when you have it all...then start it otherwise you will go nuts and have delays on things you never anticipated. At least if you have all your parts, you're only waiting on labor and the "normal" problems that occur with a project such as this. Plus you're assuming all your stock parts are in decent shape and don't need to be replaced and/or upgraded at the same time and...that they will actually hold up to the abuse going to happen when you get the motor running. We're not doing these conversions for gas mileage and putting them in economy cars. They're meant to be pounded on hard so everything better be able to withstand it
