Is it just because of the initial cost of the engine? I paid $2,600 for a brand new honda factory assembled b18c5 block and a brand new unassembled, mostly still in the honda baggies, P73 head. For another $1,000-1,500 i could drop the compression with a plate between the head and block and put together a turbo kit...can you build a brand new turbo engine (never been turned over) with the same parts or of equal quality & reliability for $4,000? ...of course would need to spend another $1,000 on engine management though.
