fj20-
not including the cost of the box. to put it in stock i would say have $4000 ready to flush.
but as u go im sure u will speind more.

VERY quick run down (these are cheap prices, may cost more, but not less)

engin and box - $1500
bigger fuel lines - $100
surge tank - $100
bigger fuel pumps - $200
rising fuel reg' - $200
custom mounts - $150
custom gearbox mounts - $150
hydrolic clutch peddle - $200
custom rear sump - $200 - $300
custom oil pick up - $150
custom exhaust manifold (stockone hits the fire wall)- $600
brake upgrade - $450

(im sure somethings will cost a bit more and somethings u may find cheaper but that all adds up to $4100)

then im sure if your getting a custom manifold u will get a bigger turbo. and im sure u will want a FMIC. so thers another $1500-$2000 ontop.

+ engineering- $1000ish (4 engin, gearbox, FMIC and brakes)
+ insurance - easy over $1000
+ rego - $500ish

i had to go under the dash as theres no room in the bay for the master. i would say u have enuff room to have a picnic in your bay due to the size of rotors;)
