Skunk2 Chip: 50

$4850


7k seems to be a bit much. are you paying his rent for 3-4 months?
hmmmmm... your prices are a bit off there.... Yes, the motor is 4100 from HMotors, but I dont believe HMotors is the distributor he uses, so his price may be a little different... So on that note let me say this... First, install alone WITHOUT wiring is about 600-750,and wiring like this can range from $100 to $300 depending on what has to be done... Now I can already tell you , everything has to be converted to use this obd2 motor in an obd1 car, so basically a whole new harness will have to be fabricated.. If you dont know, thats a LOT of time and hard work, so its not gonna be cheap...

also, that swap has no intermediate shaft or axles, so theres another 300-400, and oh, lets not forget the rear tranny mount bracket thats not included that will be another 120 or so...

all the misc hoses, belts, brackets, fittings, etc about 150-200

ecu (p28 ) runs anywhere from 100-150, PLUS another 75-100 to have it rechipped and programmed...

now I wont even guesstimate how long a job like this will take Collin, but I will say the going rate for performance work labor, is a minimum of 80 dollars an hour...

I will personally guarantee that this will be money well spent... The car will run great, and it will look like it came with that motor in it from the factory... Collin is very thorough with his work, and does everything 110%, and it does not leave his shop until he is satisfied... I will vouch for him any day of the week, and I will also say with as picky as I am, I have always trusted him with my car.... Rest assured your car is in good hands with Collin, and you will get your moneys worth... Just remember, you get what you pay for
