Link wont work unless registered.

Making it work and "hard" depends on your skills, pocket, and how determined you are. Im working on making everything available so its a plug and play deal.....

New link doesnt work either, if its complete 500 cdn is a pretty decent deal, to make it work "right" with your T5 if you plan on keeping that, you'll need to run a 92-93 computer, as you can see in my sig I do offer the hoses to hookup to your car with no trouble. The other differences are in the wiring, you can splice a stock harness to work, however IMO the fitment will never be that great, unless you spend too much time on it, and well in that case you've spent too much time on something with a bunch of splices, thus why im working on the plug and play harnesses, which will put the computer in the stock location as opposed to under the hood like a 4th gen.

Well, you will be looking at about 300 bucks for a TB, another 350 for an Opti, probably 300 for a waterpump, maybe 100 for fuel rails, about 250 for injectors, 50 or so for an oilpump, then you will have to get the accessory bracket, 4th gen PS pump, ac (or ac delete pully) alternator, PCM, wiring.

So, 500 CAD = 410 USD, plus everything you would be looking at spending over 2000 USD for the motor and everything to complete it, which comes out to around 2,400 CAD.

Or being that most get a used longblock around here buying those parts would be more like:

Throttle body $45
Fuel Rail $50
Injectors $75
Opti $60
Water Pump $30
Front Bracket $50
Alt $75
PS pump $30
PCM $100

Wiring - depends on what you go with but to get what you'd get with your normal pullout $150

So $665 not counting your ac delete pulley or idler which either a used compressor, or new delete pulley will both be around $60

So a little over 1k usd for a rebuilt longblock, not super high, not dirt cheap, good price i'd say for sure.
