I will put it to you like this there is no set price on this kinda thing it's all kinda what you do with what you can get your hands on. To give you a realistic number I would save 10k get the big stuff and the little stuff will nickle and dime you the rest of the way to 15k just about. but I mean you can do it for cheaper and you can spend more but that's a good ball park to save. You figure my head will cost about 1500 all said and done and the block as well so that's 3k right there not including the car the cage the turbo system tuning ect.. i said I would show everyone a normal guy can make a fast car(fingers crossed) not a broke guy
I guess the main reason I asked was because my buddy is dropping nearly 15K into his civic, and us w/ AWD platforms need to upgrade the t-case, drive shaft, rear end, and rear axles, on top of everything a FWD platform would need to run. So I was estimating about 4K more than what he will put down for his build. So I was just seeing what one could ACTUALLY build it for. And yes, everyone will be different as we all have our own "connections". Guess I'll just have to build mine and see where it goes. Good thing I am going to be an engineer!

Never said it couldnt be done...butt lets face it...How many thread have there been on this forum where the OP's goal was 700, or 800 hp
or to run 9, or 8
How often does the OP achieve his goal???????
not sayin slippi is one of those people...he actually stayed tru to his thread...and kept the updates comming....so0o far I do believe he will build a 9 sec. car
My point is...we see these types of post all the time...and it never happends....
Funny you say that cause one of my goals is to race and beat Cezar or however the hell he spells it from High Boost. I see him running NY with top street and I see him beating up on mildly built talons. Even if I don't win I think that race would get a good amount of attention in both worlds.
that will be a great race hope this run goes down in 09 for sure

I agree you see I want to run 10s/9's ect. thread all the time. The difference is they are on there asking people what they should buy to go faster and need more guidance then a audience. I made this thread more to show people how I think you build a fast car not to ask how to build a fast car. This is not the only way or even the best way to build a fast car but this is just how I deicded to do it and for anyone that doesn't know how to do it at all maybe this will give them a better idea so they can do it their way.

Hey, don't crap up a person's thread. Don't let it even go past that comment. You want to do that, make a new thread complaining about it, and then we can delete it.
Keep it out of Slippi's thread.
No one appreciates it when someone comes in to your house and starts kicking up mud on your white couches. (We all know the Rick James line from David Chappelle that would follow the action) -- and I can say it is not cool.

Sean, are you using the 90-style straight-cut oil pump gears or the 91-99 style helical gears?

I really love your build, had to show my wife I wasn't the only one building motors in the house. your a brave man. I've been thinking of selling my mk3 supra lately and just building a 4g63 and then buying a awd shell. good luck maybe someday I'll have a post like this.

Go for it. I actually came to dsm's from the supra world. I had a 7mgte 87 supra and got tired of blowing HG's and taking off my intake manifold to change spark plugs lol. Made the swap and never looked back. These cars are def more fun to work with and tune.
I was going to go with DSS stage axles but after talking with a couple guys that have been there I just picked up a stock 4 bolt lsd rear setup. The rear and axles look to be in great shape too so I'll run them and if they break I will just convert to a mustang rear because I would be pretty mad if 1500 axles just broke.
Just a quick update didn't get a chance to put the rear in yet because the lift was being used for something else where my car is. I ended up selling my kirkey seat I used for mock fitting lol and bought two Corbeau seats that aren't much heavier at all and look and feel better for street driving.
Ok Sean I'am starting to think your just buying parts and just taking pics!
Start putting them on the car and go already who needs paint anyways
You started this thread in Dec and so far what we have seen is
1. parts and some more parts
2. you acting like your racing your car in your kitchen
3. some more parts
4. you tearing apart a motor in your kitchen
5. some mock up
6. and you turning the inside of your house into a shop
You have no pics of anything put together? and you know you had to clean that kitchen back up! Because if your GF would have came home and seen that
P.S. We wont show her the pics if you hurry up and get this thing done

I am moving the end of this month and I took the whole week off from work. If my guy hasn't finished the paint job I'm gonna go over paint it one day come back two days later and put the harness back in mount the seats EMS and get her looking like a car not a shell. I don't have a windshield on it so I was a little hesitant on putting expensive stuff in the car not mounted for obvious reasons. I promise by the 5th there will be parts in a painted car
