HOW MUCH IT COST MY 2JZ BRZ | FRS | GR86 SWAP [THE UGLY TRUTH]

Building the car that you want is always a good idea. No matter how much it cost
@fifty_107 ай бұрын
There are so many areas you could have shaved a ton of money off. 7k for a gte out of an aristo AND 2k to rebuild it? Bro go pull a junkyard GE for $500, rebuild it and put a single turbo kit on it…
@kohlmannn6 ай бұрын
They retail for that. And the $2k adds up: Gasket Kit, water and oil pump, vvti new gear, crank sensor, timing tensioner, idler pulley, timing and accessory belts. New alternator, new AC compressor I mean adds bro. And agree you can shortcut lots of this and still get it running. 👍

It all comes down to the cost:reward ratio. The "for the same money" thing falls flat when you factor in the total reward of the experience of doing this yourself.

7:15 while you have a point about mass-produced/stock vehicles being more reliable than a build like this, it's important to note that the Toyota engine is also mass-produced and unless it's built with aftermarket internals/parts, we can expect oem-like longevity and reliability if the torque is kept in check with that turbo. Same with the transmission. While resale value on a build like this is poor compared to a stock car, you've created a very unique experience of a car that is much harder to come by than an M3 or 911 and even if it's objectively not as good of an experience owning/driving/maintainig the car, the specialness makes it invaluable in many ways.

Leaving it at 40-50k, as long as its fairly reliabile, the build is amazing man, and i certainly would look at it with happiness and not regret.
