$575-$650: engine mounts
$350-$399: Axles
$350-$399.00: refabricated hasport header/ or TSX header
$300: wiring harness
$575: Kpro
Golden eagle rail $125.00
Fuel Lines $225.00
Fuel Regulator $200.00
BLAH BLAH lots of other little things here and there... But i highly highly doubt your friend got a K20 Type R engine and had it installed for less than 4K....
i can do this swap myself also, but with all the things needed that i would need to get it running, i know ill spend atleast 6.5K on engine/parts alone just to get it running the right way. No half assing it
*NOTE THOSE PRICES ARE FROM WHAT IVE SEEN, THEY MAY BE CHEAPER BUT NOT USUALLY BETTER*

If I were you, I would build the z6, turbo, put a suspension under it, wheels and tires, and take it to have it tuned. You will be under your money mark, and be able to run 300+whp daily with no problem.

Must be nice to have that much to play around with...IMO do a B16 or B18C1. Have your windows tinted,suspension,exhaust,intake,headers,get some cam gears,cams etc...Dont waste your money on just a swap.You can also,get some JDM items amber corners,JDM H's.System. Theirs so much you can do for 7K.Trust me you can also have some wheels if you choose. Yes,the K motor would be nice,but you can get a B18C5 Type R motor if thats the case & still have plenty of money left over for some of the items I've listed....Good Luck

oh nice these are all nice ideas. now, i didnt mention, i already have system, wheels, and have lowered it. so basically its in need of an engine. i like the sound of this k-series swap, as well as this z6. im just wondering how hard is it to get these engines put in? i dont want to have to cut away tooo much of the body. cuz its got to be a daily driver. im just looking to get some more horses to zip around in, and stand up to challenges,
