Right gents, im doing a K Swap.
Going to post exactly how much it has all cost me. Im trying to do this with being smart and to prove that it can be done relatively cheaply to disprove all the too expensive quotes.
So here we go...
K20 Engine
Gearbox
ECU
Loom
Driveshafts
Hubs
This lot has cost me £1250 so far.
I won't be using the hubs obviously and probably not the driveshafts so they will be sold.
The only parts i will be using to counteract the costs, are what is already in the car. I have sold and will be selling parts that aren't in the car which i WILL NOT be including in the breakdown.
Second post on this thread will detail costs and parts only.
I will be doing most if not all of the labour myself. Im no mechanic but i know enough to do this. IMO if you can drop a gearbox and change a clutch you can do this.
