When you say how much? Do you mean in terms of money or of work? There's obviously only one man to answer that question for you really...... Ratty.
Sorry Ratty. Love you lol

I'm sure a quick PM to Rob will do the trick... He's as anal as me when it comes to keeping a tally of costs etc

nice! You really need some lower compression pistons for that to work on your motor, like some 10:1 a5 pistons those 11:1's wont be so good

I'll give you as much detail as you need later bud, but I don't think this one is a winner, it's been up for sale for a while now, but is missing a fundamental part of the kit - the main pulley bracket and the brackets to fix this to the engine. I guess you could make these pieces, but I'd want to buy it for alot cheaper to make it worthwhile.
To give you an idea, although my kit was a very good price for the items I got with it - I paid $1500 (about £1,150 at the time) shipped all in and stung for another £127 odd for duty.
Mine included the whole kit apart from the power steering bracket and the rising rate fuel pressure regulator. I also got RC injectors, A P28 with S100 and a larger spare crank pulley off of an Accord (for another 3psi when I want it). The guy even sorted out all new gaskets and replaced a broken part before Moss Motors discontinued most of it.
Now that was a pretty great deal and a great seller - it was a big gamble trusting someone in the states with an item as much as this, but he came through with it all.
This guy has posted on a few forums over in the US and hasn't been able to shift it. He doesn't really know much from the feel of his posts.
I'll go into detail on the parts missing and what you'll need later if you can get this for a cheaper price.

I looked at this item before. He got no bites at $1300 and has relisted and knocked $100 off

. If you can get very cheap postage then it may be worth a punt but he has stated that a couple of the brackets are missing. I'd need to know how to get around these brackets being missing before i'd consider buying this. It's also been reconditioned yet he shows no photos of how well this has been done...............

Not necessarilly A1ex. Me and Rich at PA have had discussions about dropping in some Mahle 11.5:1's in my spare engine one day to run with the 9psi - or stay with 10:1 Mahle's and add my Accord crank pulley for 12psi!
It's not quite the same as Turbo conversions in terms of the power delivery, heat and fueling/tuning side of things.
