matt_lamb_160 252 Posted December 24, 2015 I am jumping in late here, but turboing is not all that cheap unless you do a lot yourself My parts (just from memory, I have never added it up before) Exhaust manifold $50 Intake manifold $350 Intercooler $200 Cooler piping $200 Gas carb $350 Other gas stuff $200 Turbo $900 (Garret) Ignition $400 Exhaust $1500 Waste gate $350 Fittings, hoses and stuff around $400 Engine "reco" $400 (already had a good cam and lifters) Auto $500 (500 HP kit, full manual valve body) + $300 for the auto and stall to start with. Probably more things there. But is reliable and is plenty to scare me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHESTNUTXE 7,312 Posted December 24, 2015 what sought of intake for $350 or is it a blow thru m8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt_lamb_160 252 Posted December 25, 2015 It is a 4brl manifold. Yes it is blow through. Apart from the exhaust and good wastegate I think I have done it about as cheap as ir can be done wellish. 1 NZXD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matt_lamb_160 252 Posted December 25, 2015 Yeah it is finished. Only running 7psi, but is still pretty good and I don't plan on changing it. Should do some time.Still haven't fixed the gaurd though, haha. Yeah, I know. Nope, it is mild steel. External wastegate and cat made it more $$$. Probably should have done it at home, but they did a pretty good job. No idea about tge power. I have thought that about the mani. I run the 4brl as it is easier to mount the carb to.
