It all varies on what parts your installing, the vehicle, and how much experience you have. I'd say 15-20 hours to get it all up and running.

Are you starting from scratch? Pump, clutch, regulator, etc? Need details.

I'm just getting as much done as possible then planning on a 12 hour day... smile.gif

putting the return in the oil pan and tuning are going to be the biggest time factors.

i'd get the pump and standalone installed first, then the other stuff on another day (this is your daily right?)

What I would do is take a weekend off or find a few days when you won't be going anywhere for a while. Your looking at a couple of days to get all of that installed and running.

I just want to suggest that get at least 5 days...... you will need it.... Also in that time you can get a little "breaking" to the engine and it's new setup....

Like everyone said, it depends on how much you plan on doing. I mean...if you plan on slapping in aftermarket pistons, rods, new valvetrain, turbo, exhaust manifold, larger injectors, upgraded fuel pump...it'll obviously take more than just a day to do. wink1.gif

I could get it all done in a day, but I've done it before and have done a motorswap and 10 clutch jobs, etc...

No one knows how long it's gonna take YOU. Take some days off of work for he "just in case" stuff.
