lol I've spent under 21k on my whole car. including neo engine swap manual conversion cams everything and the actual purchase price of the car and the result is excellent. I save big dollars by reaserch. and then building cars my self . but I understand not everyone is capable of this . I already have a gtr box in mine but remember the result extra weight you are pushing does load them up. does not need a link he has a s2 and runs a nistune and already. runs a 3076 & will run e85 so really a set of forged piston, head gasket, studs, and cams will safely get him close to what he wants on the limit of the auto.
