How is my setup?

[AdrenilineCrash]

Well Ive compiled a list of everything I think I will need for my conversion. My goals are about 450 hp. Im gonna do all the internals and build it up N/A first. Then Im gonna put the turbo on afterwards as this is going to cost me large amounts of money. Ive compiled this list over the past year or so researching and reading and this is what I think I will need. Please tell me if Im missing something or if I dont need something.

Below on numbers 5 and 6 there are sub-numbers 1-4. On question 5 they represent different parts of the exhaust system. On question 6 they represent different turbos.

is that the order your getting it in? and are you a multi-millionare?

 

[silvergstguy]

Please do me a favor and sell ur car, buy a 1g awd, and spend your money on that???

 

[AdrenilineCrash]

No that is not the order Im getting them in and why should I buy a turbo car? I realize that it would cut my work in half or more but what other benefit is there?

-mike?

 

[silvergstguy]

Well, your work will be cut in half, but also, tuning the car will end up being alot easier, you will get much better times by getting an awd car, and common sense plays a big factor in this also, but just my .02 cents

parts alone are gonna cost you a lot, then add the labor and tuning expenses, plus add some extra $$$ for broken parts. If you're gonna go turbo for sure, buy a turbo car and work with that. It's easier.

 

[AdrenilineCrash]

True parts and tuning would cost me a lot but Im gonna do all the labor myself. My dad is an awesome mechanic and he will help me. Some of the stuff I wont be able to do is the machining of the block when I rebuild and the balancing/blueprinting the rotating assembly. I just think it would be fun to build up an n/t and then do a turbo conversion. Although I am looking in to a 1g turbo FWD. I dont want an AWD, thatd be too easy.
