$700 intake manifold+throttle body
$600 header
$400 clutch
$300 OEM Honda engine/charge harnesses (brand new)

$8150 leaves you plenty of leftovers to sort out the intake, cooling hoses and exhaust. On the NA, you need to add $200 for a modified valve cover and $150 for an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator/fittings. It's not as expensive as you make it out to be. It's not as if we're skimping on parts, either - you could use a higher-mileage and/or less desirable motor, you could do without the RSX gear, you could do an S2000 manifold instead of the Skunk2 parts, you could start with a used engine harness, and you could use a less expensive clutch and radiator.
