I remember an s14 sr20 swap in 2007 was about 5k. I added a grand for a fmic and exhaust (which easily could have been more) I didnt add labor since I was going to do it myself. Full clips (especially kouki) were probably over 7500 and thats if you didnt have to pay for shipping. Hell, I'll bet they're still at least 5k before shipping.

Nowadays you can get a s14 sr20 for 2000-2500 and theres a plethora of cheap used parts floating around since many people either blew them up, decided to swap it out for something else, or both.

I don't know who the hell you were buying ur clips from but a nice s14 clip was around 4k or so in 2003 lol

when i did my swap it was basically stock. all the other mods didn't come till after. I did get pretty carried away with engine mods later after the oem swap w/ stand alone, turbo upgrade and everything in between minus a built bottom end and ended up w/ about 20k in the motor alone. This was long before all the cheap alternatives like isis part.
