100 hours isnt THAT much if you think about it.

And that was his estimate for how long he thought it would take ME to do it, he knows I was and still kind of only knew piston engines.

You could also look at 100 hours as 1 guy working on a car for 2.5 weeks at 8 work hours a day, not too bad actually.

Maybe I am too used to boats, one job I did was a 900 hour job.

100 hours isnt much to me.

Ok, I thought 100 hours for him. The basics of the job would be the drivetrain and the motor. Maybe 100 hours wouldn't be unreasonable if you included "everything." I suppose that it would take about a full day with a lift to do the transmission and rear, and 1 day to make the mount, 1 day to do the ECU, and maybe a few days to get it all together. I would say it's a 50 hour job. When my friend put the FD motor in his TII it only took maybe 10 hours total to take out the old motor, make a cradle, and mount the new motor, as well as wire up the Haltech.

Yeah, 100 hours seems like alot to me. I guess I'm too used to jobs that are just a few hours long.

That's what i want man a 20B FC!! All motor no turbo or Nos. What do you guys think it can do in the 1/4. I know it's way too much $$$ to get the work done. I'll just street port my 13B FC once the engine goes out and tune it up. What's the fastest all motor rotary engine out there that's well known?

Now if you add in tuning the Haltech and the time it took to track down all the parts and what not, keeping in mind the internet was NOT what it is today so alot of the parts tracking down was done thru catalog and phones.

You can get a standalone tuned on a dyno for about $500 if you look around.

thats how i come up with the 300hours, its 6 months of weekends. it would be faster a second time, but theres a lot of little things the need to be done that take a lot of time (cutting the hood, making brackets for the radiator, locating the coils, etc etc)
