so ive about got all i need and now im workin on geting pricing for install ive got a shop that really hooks me up and im prob going to go there but i need a good guess of how long it takes???

 

From what I hear, swapping it in taking your time is about a day for a seasoned tech, wiring is the real concern. It could take weeks if you send to phoenix tuning if you don't pay extra but its well worth it!!!! If you have the spare change you could buy an extra sc wiring harness and send it with the jdm harness that way when it's done you could just swap it in and sell your stock harness. (I'd buy it) have intercooler, intercooler piping, down pipe ready as well. I'm gonna be doing same swap with v160 but I'm going to get the hard stuff out of the way first so their will be less downtime

 

i have a friend that is doing wiring for me all he said he needed is the 2 harnesses and the 2 wiring diagrams or an ecu pin out chart and hes going to help me on that end i just need to know the hours it wold take for a tech to swap moters

 

just a plain jane motor swap, removal and installation, about 6 hours? but having to install the IC/piping, remove all the na electronics, install the turbo bits, if they haven't done it before, maybe double, or more.

so I am figuring about 12 hours, and most of that is in the axillary stuff of the motor.

could take less if they have done it a couple of times, or have something to reference where stuff goes.

 

ok cool thanks
