Everyone, can you write down what you pay for EVERYTHING and part numbers? I want to put together a chart of how much this stuff costs for as many people's cases as I can.
I want to finally have an answer to "how much does a 4g6x swap cost?" And since everybody has a slightly different setup, a big chart would be the best way to answer this.
I'll post up Mine and Craig's after I finish his swap in a few weeks.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
Well, I'll add to it as I go, but so far

May as well show my face in here.
My spending list is linked in my signature. It's down to every penny I'm spending on my...hell, I'm not even sure to call it a "racecar" anymore. I don't know what exactly it'll be classified as, but certainly not a daily.
It's not far along, as I just switched ideas from building my own chassis (locost) to using an S13. Reason I switched was because I have access to *ALOT* of parts up at work for it.

I thought I should post this here as well,
Project is a 93 Mighty Max, wideblock 4g64 DOHC Turbo and standalone Megasquirt ECM
Short Block 7bolt Wideblock $250.00 (Local Craigslist)
Long Block 7bolt Narrow Block (2g) $650.00 (Short Block FOR SALE!)
Gasket kit $86.00 (Ebay)
Main/Connecting rod Bearings $100.00 (Ebay)
Billet Pistons $140.00
Megasquirt, Relay board, Stim $200.00 (Local Craigslist)
18g Turbo $150.00 (local buddy)
Flux Capacitor $ Priceless!
Machine Shop Work (Greeley Automotive Machine Racing)
Block:
Align bore $140.00
Cylinder Bore and Hone $100.00
Resurface Head and oil pan Locations $65.00
Hot Jet Cleaning and Aluminum finish $60.00
Cylinder Head:
Cleaning, Magnaflux check before work $50.00
Complete Valve Job $265.00
(includes R&R of all valves, 3 angle seat grinds, 3 angle valve grinds to new valves, New Valve Guides, Warpage straightening, Resurfacing, Hot Jet cleaning and Reassembly)
Crank:
Grind and Polish $105.00 (included cleaning)
for a grand total so far of: $2361.00 Give or take, and I think I will get a free day on the dyno once its all together too.
I still need an intercooler and some piping, a blow off valve, timing belt, plugs and wires, motor mounts and a turbo oil line kit.
Probably going to be a $3000.00 project in the end... and worth every penny of it the first time the turbo kicks in!!!
I probably could have spent less, but this is what I wanted and I wanted it done right.
I could have pulled a junk yard swap and saved some money at first, but would I really have been saving money if I were to keep breaking stuff that should have been replaced in the beginning? I think not.
