$75 for ECU work (chipped by phiz of honda-tech using crome) it had to be converted to a 5-speed ECU, then socketed + $5 to cover some shipping costs back to me.
$500 for jdm d15b (35-50K mile motor)
$350 for z6 tranny
$1600 for GReddy 15g kit with extras (intercooler, BOV, all lines, all piping, part of an HKS EVC, missing link (didnt use), downpipe, manifold, turbo...pretty complete.
$200 or so for the entire pedal setup, with hydraulic lines, clutch master cylinder, flywheel, shift linkage, shifter, boot, ****.
$20 for some OEM Tails
$20 for some JDM Vision amber lenses
$35 for some OEM Headlights
Misc gaskets and fittings, clamps *** needed added up to some bucks.
$68 on a lifetime warranty starter, junkyard was out of 5 speed used starters.
$100 on 2 brand new axles, mine were toast.
$35 on the bracket for the manual trans upper mount for the body which i had to cut out and weld in the new one
$25 for the upper mount since the auto one is different
That adds up to just over 3 grand. Im sure I am missing a few details, so its right in that range. Keep in mind the turbo setup wasnt all I did. This was the manual conversion + new motor + turbo all at once.
It adds up pretty fast. From there it was misc stuff, like coolant, oil, a few bolts I didnt have the right sizes of, etc...
