From what I hear, swapping it in taking your time is about a day for a seasoned tech, wiring is the real concern. It could take weeks if you send to phoenix tuning if you don't pay extra but its well worth it!!!! If you have the spare change you could buy an extra sc wiring harness and send it with the jdm harness that way when it's done you could just swap it in and sell your stock harness. (I'd buy it) have intercooler, intercooler piping, down pipe ready as well. I'm gonna be doing same swap with v160 but I'm going to get the hard stuff out of the way first so their will be less downtime

just a plain jane motor swap, removal and installation, about 6 hours? but having to install the IC/piping, remove all the na electronics, install the turbo bits, if they haven't done it before, maybe double, or more.
so I am figuring about 12 hours, and most of that is in the axillary stuff of the motor.
could take less if they have done it a couple of times, or have something to reference where stuff goes.
