MOdded mounts, custom driveshafts(there goes at least $1000 lol), CV's depend on how much torture you are going to dish out, if you say upgrade to N13 CV's then hubs need work or N13 hubs need to be custom fitted.

Prolly lookin at around the 5k mark if you can't make the crap up yourself.

This has been covered in detail quite a few times.

Bottom line, get your engine and gearbox
Hang it in the bay with a rope.
Fabricate new engine/box mounts.
Measure up and have CA driveshaftes cut and shut to N12 driveshafts.
Connect water, fuel and electrical lines.
Turn key.

Go "Woot".

How much it will cost? Similar question to "How long is a piece of string?"

Whatever you "think" it will cost AFTER buying your engine and transmission...add double.

Hey Etrider. Just need to throw my 2 cents in here and say that your car makes great power and there will be a funny disappointed look on your face if you go through with this. Why not do a few mods to the already stout e15et such as a good tunable ecu, custom exhaust manifold, bigger injectors etc. Would be more cost effective and give a better result.

"just pop your bonnet for me mate. Oh I see, dont think that motor belongs in there bud. Just gonna pop this sticker on your windscreen so you can have it check out and get it all sorted."

Hahahahahaha!

But still if your gonna spend 5k on this stuff you might as well fork out another 500 bucks for an Engineering cert. Yes its not much when you wanna go the full hog. I'd recommend you speak to an engineer before the go ahead to know what they want from you before you start, so you dont have to do it all again.

better off just spending some more money on an ECU for your E15ET and getting a proper dyno tune to get it running spot on to make it reliable IMO.
