YES! I love seeing different swaps being attempted on the twins, I wonder when someone will rotary swap a twin.

Rotary's are only as reliable as their owners

What would you expect this to cost in the end? And what makes it cheaper then other swaps like an LS or 2JZ?

The goal for end cost is 12500-14000 installed tuned and driven away. the base cost of the rb25 neo with a transmission will be around 2100. We will be using haltech engine management which shaves off quite a bit of cost over the motec.
Mind you we will still have can bus with the haltech. I will be able to go into more detail on overall costs later in the process.

14k for for almost 1k horsepower is a bang for the buck on my book. My worries are, the engine mounts and transmission tunnel. Was hard to sort it out?

Will you guys be offering this in different power levels for different price ranges? Thought you ask because 1k hp is honestly to much for alot of us to handle or at least me, I'll admit it.
