When i had mine converted the ACT rego people said that the heaviest variant in the 1200 range was the wagon at 720 kg.

oh.... and if you're in Vic then you can only do 2.5 times the original kerbside weight for a turbo and 3 times the original weight for non turbo.

given that the kerbside was 700 or 710 kilos then a CA18DE or SR20DE (both non turbo) would be all you could go to

do your research .... get this sorted before you go making plans (a non turbo is also cheaper :)

20g for basic build using maddat gear. Thats not body work either

I'm at 11g and my cars in 100 pieces not even started

You for got heshes like me.... We have both bases covered

Thanks Mik

That's only through our guy in Vic mic, others charge more and for revisits. Nsw costs more too usually

engineering is $800, if you do the entire list above properly (research first) it shouldn't cost any more than that

Then factor in engineering and a possible roadworthy certificate to make it legit.

The $1000 engine would be an unknown 2nd hand unit- rebuilding or a rebuilt one will add to that for sure.

roughly, doing wiring and fab yourself

motor - 1000
gearbox - 350
tailshaft - 350
diff upgrade - 500
strut upgrade - 1000
turbo - 150
turbo lines - 150
silicone hose and clamps - 250
intercooler - 200
air filter - 100
loom - 100
ecu - 100
fuel pumps - 300
surge tank - 100
fuel lines and hose clamps - 100
engine and gearbox mounting -500
hydraulic clutch setup - 200
wiring connectors + relays - 100
bolts and other incidentals - 100
dump pipe - 250
exhaust with cat - 600
accelerator cable - 50
catch can setup - 80
battery relocation - 200
radiator and thermos - 600

other stuff you prob will do
good shockers - 600
tyres - 1000
wheels - 300
brake booster - 100
headlight upgrade - 150

Note - a lot of these prices would be roughly what i spent, most items you could easily spend 4 times as much on depending on if you wanted new or better looking etc
