engine price seems fine, did they compression and leak-down test the engine (look for the tag)? the rebuild seems a little high, take $100-200 off. intercooler is good. piping is steep, shouldnt be more than $400; what kind of welds is he going to use? JWT ecu is right. BOV is fine. labor is right. gauges, boost cont., turbo timer all for 500-600? if so, thats a good deal. depends what kind of boost controller as well, if its an apex'i, your getting a good deal.
btw, SR20Development is in San Diego

Well as for the engine, yes they ran all the test that were nessasary, need to look into the tag, I might be able to get the engine alittle cheaper if i wait, might get one directly from japan on some biig crate... the engine that i can get now is from WA... as for the re-build, my mechanic said he got that quote from turbonetics, so i'm not sure what to say about that...the piping was said to be completely custom mandrel bends.... i guess? dunno what to say about that either..... As for the boost control, i was thinking of apexi, but i can get the digital blue face for $400 bucks, which i'm not sure is a good deal either.....
Thnx for your input AznVirus

If you consider a BB DET instead of the GTI-R DET you could knock about $1K off which could be spent on alternative parts to reach or exceed the GTI-R output.
IIRC, parts for the BB DET are considerably more easy to get than for the GTI-R.

Couldn't have said it better Sandy.
Otherwise, the prices sound about right and the labor even seems a bit cheap to me. I wouldn't touch that job for one penny less than $1,000 US.

The reason why i'm gettin' such a deal for labor is that the mechanic is a friend of a friend, but the parts are as cheap as my mechanic can get, hopefully i can get that engine from japan cause my mechanic said that he possibly can get the engine for a strait 2g's from his homie, so wish me luck.... :D

Get the bb det...save you headache and money
Rebuild is alittle too much...more like $350
I would go with a HKS core intercooler and nothing too big that I get boost lag...
IC piping and dp sounds about right...
JWT ECU sounds right...
should research more on BOV....HKS SSQV can't retract back to intake...research more to understand why you need to do this.
Labor seems about right also...
Apex'i AVC-R is a bad choice in my opinion...looks kewl but a pos...get a Blitz Dual SBC or a HKS EVC III or if you want manual then the Turbo XS manual controller...
These are my opinions....have you tried http://www.neishlinmotors.com/ ?? they import motors and clips...ask if they can get a bb front clip...

arrgh... i thought someone said 609 area code... to think a g20 tuner in jersey... that would have been sweet :(

03-19-2002, 01:16 PM
Thanks for all the help guys :D... I think imma go with Brian and Lukes advice and give chris a call to see what he can do for me... Also had another question, someone told me that one of the reasons why the Gti-r would be a better choice is because it is a newer engine... Is this true?, i mean i know that the Gti-r was in production from 1990-94, but not so sure about the BB? Also ty423, HKS SGQV can't retract back to intake? I actually don't want it to retract back into the intake, i wanna hear the nice pssssssssstt sound hehehehe....But, can you go into more detail in what negatives the Apex'i AVC-R has? Also what size intercooler would you guys recommend? My mechanic said that he would have to take down dimensions, but i wanna kno what ruff measurements you guys have....THX

with the SR engines, you need to route some air from the BOV back into the intake tract to make the MAF happy. is the "pssst" sound really worth the loss of power?

Thanx for the input Aznvirus, but ofcourse i am planning to tune the engine correctly!!! I'm not planning to just throw on the BOV and expect everything to be cool, "and have a cool pssst sound!!!" Gotta do everything by the book, and i'm planning to do just that, iv'e actually pro-longed my project to get the correct information and specs that I need from whom ever I can talk to about the subject and read whatever I can, after i finish everything I'm planning to post info on how everything was done and what hardships i go through to complete the project, i'll keep everyone posted in the future....And i'll let everyone know how i got the cool pssst sound safely!!! lol
PEACE
