it's been done before buddy youre not the first.. nice try though
you did succeed in starting a petty argument amongst some of the children on this board though so thumbs up for that i guess

 

Yup yup! Been chatting with Dana over emails abt the swap, hopefully I can arrange for June!!

 

Btw, have you guys done one for a Ralliart yet? Or will I be the first

 

Hey how much in totaly would you say it cost u for the x swap?

 

I'm confused at what you thought the OP was 'trying' by your 'nice try' remark. He simply was curious if anyone in this region had done the swap before since it's not all that common just yet.

It appears he may be the first in New England but not in the overall northeast.

 

nice! good to hear theres a couple more what kind of numbers did you put down?

 

thank you! people think i made this thread so i can brag im the first one and whatever else i just simply wanna know if theres any other members that have done the swap so we can share information and experience so please if all you got is comments like that keep them to your self thank you very much.

 

Funny story abut this,

i found a guy on here (Evom) that just bought an x and had close to no miles on his parts and he was parting it out in a month, so i go in contact with him. It turned out to be like $750 for manifold, dp, turbo, o2 housing and then $250 from oem parts for all the oil lines, gaskets, coolant lines, and bolts. So about a grand for a the basic swap. Got tuned by AMS for and bought a BOV there cause i was silly and didnt think to buy a metal one prior. Including stuff the nessisary like a bigger intercooler and custom intake

Everything came to a total of about $2,000

Then i turn around and traded my ralliart turbo set-up for and evo x swap (i paid shipping since i better end of deal) Profited a DP and Exhaust out of this
And sold the setup for 875 shipped

$2,000 - (875 - 300 for shipping) = 1425

Evo X Swap, Evo X Intercooler, Boost pill, Custom SRI and Test Pipe (stock exhaust and evox dp at tune)

Went to AMS and Chris was able to get ~300 hp ~300tq at 24 psi .


Ive since added an exhaust and DP and kinda want to dyno it again before i deploy at the end of May. IDK who id go to near NY though.

 

Were those numbers on AMS' Mustang dyno or their dynojet?

 

It was in Chicago, soo id think thier Mustang Dyno (I hope im not getting confused lol)

 

im running 25psi and i put down 270/288 but then again every cars different every dynos diff etc etc.

 

The whole swap (turbo, downpipe, manifold n all the bits n bobs) will be abt 400-500 (labour cost), plus tune $500. But I'm installing gauges too so I am thinking $1500 maybe..
It cost me around $1500 for all the parts to do the swap, so u r looking at maybe $3000 in all I would assume, parts n labor..

 

^ Oh yea my price was because i did all the work myself, that probably makes a difference also.

 

Good looking numbers from the build. Have a friend thats looking to put a X turbo in is RA as well.

 

The swap is great had it done last weekend.. Made the car a beast now and gas milagee is about 23.5 avg on a tank and I have tq everywhere. The fun part is learning to drive it again with the power...
