try yourself man...gearbox, pedals, tailshaft, clutch, flywheel and spigot bush should be enough to get started, then you just need to bypass the ingear relay in the relaybox. Piece of piss. Cost me $800 for all the parts last time i did that conversion 4-5 years ago.

1000 bucks and a saturday if u do it yourself. Its real easy mate, its not like u have to unplug a sh!tload of wires or have to try and make it start :( Couple of bolts & some heavy lifting and its done

Tripple that for a mechanic

Im sure theres heaps of people on here who can do it :D

yeah u can pick up all the parts for about $800, very easy to do, if you look next to the brake pedal from the inside its already marked for where the clutch pedal/master has to go, if you get a mechanic to do it will cost you roughly around $1500 maybe more and dno how long they might screw you round for or what dodgey stuff they do, i say buy all the parts yourself so you know whats going into it, you wont need many tools either, a few spanners a drill, breaker bar and just the usual stuff,

it's funny how u shit can mechanics when it takes em 4 years to become qualified in a technical feild and are responsible for the lives of nearly everyone u see on the roads, yeah do it at home so a mechanic doesnt screw you the shitty sum he charges you, compared to and electrician or a plumber, just remember- make sure u pack those wheels bearing right so the wheels dont lock up on the freeway and cause accidents or death, or did i tension those caliper bolts correctly? tension whats that?? i didn't read about how a bolt should feel on the internet hmm, it's called experience, sure you will get things done on your own and the net is an exxcellent resource, but when it f**ks up where does everyone go, well they don't use yahoo answers or wikipedia, they call us blokes who get dirty for a living and say i'm stuck can u help me, and a majority of the time for the diy enthusiast i will offer free advise or if it takes a minimal amount of time there will be no charge, so shitcan mechanics but remember who your parents took the cars to for servicing and brakes before that family trip, maybe u wouldnt be here reading this if dad or his mate jack made a boo boo all those years ago, nope it was the bloke with the dirty overalls getting paid f**k all for your survival... remember your not always paying for your arse to be ripped, and sometimes peace of mind is costly but it's better than rest in peace of mind..

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
