As I have to buy parts and bits for this build, I'll add it's cost here. My goal is to keep the cost below, or as close to $1K as possible. I know, a lofty goal at best. But that's what I'm aiming for.
Engine Management Costs

Things I bought for the build that wont work or might not need
In other words, wasted money!! :(
| $80.00 | 2008/05/05 | Used MY99 intake Manifold ($50 + $30 shipping) - Doesn't look like I'll be using this though. |
| $150.00 | 2008/04/16 | SmoothFlowPulleys.com custom adjustable pulley for C230 M62 SC ($150 shipped) - Unfortunatly, this pulley isn't quite up to snuff. I'm going to have it tweaked locally. It'll increase the cost a little. |
| $150.00 | 2009/4/18 | The LAST tweak to the SC pulley. Had it re-welded and a few more bolts added. |
| $200.00 | 2009/2/16 | Had to have the pulley hub remade by a local machine shop - I had to eat the cost of programming the CNC machine!! D'OH! There goes my $1000 goal!! Hopefully if anybody needs one of these made it'll cost much less now. |
