okay...first of all thanks for looking at my shiiitttt...2nd here it is...im going single turbo for my g35 coupe...here are the pricing i got...

engine work:
je pistons, eagle rods, darton sleeves, all the studs, bearings, utec ems...plus the installation of all of these mods, taking the engine out and putting it back in..comes to a total of $5350

turbo kit:
garrett gt35 turbo, tial bov, tial wastegate, all FABRICATED piping, FMIC, all the fueling mods($5500),plus the installation of the turbo kit($850), plus tuning ($850)...comes out to $7200

all of this comes out to a total of $12500....this does not include the rps clutch i will be getting and also the gauges,turbo timer, and boost controller...so tell me what you think...

i was going to do the engine work first...let them do that...and then get my car back and drive it for a while to put some miles on it and also give me time to save up for my turbo kit...haha..i aint got 12550 to just throw out..

give me your opinion!!

What about cams? What shop is doing this for this price?

 

a gt35 would be sweet, but why not just go with a known kit like greddy or aps? seems like a lot of extra money to me, but maybe not

 

THE HEAD I AM LEAVING ALONE..MY TUNER/INSTALLER SAID MY HEAD WOULD BE FINE..THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH OUR ENGINES ARE THE PISTONS AND RODS...MY CLOSE FRIEND TOLD ME THAT HE CAN MACHINE MY HEAD FOR ME FOR FREE BECAUSE IM GOING TO DO SOME FREE LABOR O HIS FLOORING AT HIS HOUSE..BUT N E WAYS YEAH AS FOR NOW IMA LEAVE THE HEAD ALONE...

 

I WAS BUT I WANNA GO A DIFFERNT ROUTE THAN EVERYBODY ELSE...MY OWN FABRICATED TURBO KIT!!

 

A Tuner I Met Through A Friend...he Went Pro When He Was 28..his Name Is Jojo..he Has A 9.7 Sec Civic, 10 Sec Evo, And A 11 Sec Tt Supra...all His Work...

 

ooooooook then....

 

here we go again.......

well good luck b/c those who have done this route before will let you know....its easier to just get a kit...and then build off of that.

 

yeah, seriously, a lot of design and engineering goes into the turbo kits that are already on the market, so why not go with something that is proven and is backed by a warranty. i dont really see any logic here, but whatever.

 

^+1

This just seems like another disaster waiting to happen....

 

yeah, i agree, but i've been on this forum long enough to know that everyone and their brother has big plans to go FI. everyone knows the kit they want, and has the list of all the toys and accessories and all that. but until the actual setup is on the car, then i dont believe a word of it. and usually this kind of stuff comes new members. just my $.02

 

Do you want to be fast or different. If you want to be fast buy a kit that is already out like Greddy, Turbonetics, APS, ect... If you want to be different dont ask our opinion, just do it.

 

That block with sleeves installed seems waayyyyyy too cheap

If it sounds to good to be true...

 

I hear a lot of good things about your head...

On second thought, lets leave head out of this and talk about cars...

 

you didn't tell us your goals - if you're thinking of power that the stock sleeves won't handle, I doubt that 12k is anywhere near what it'll cost.

 

for the turbos kit w/ fmic, the utec, bov, and install and tune, my setup is going to run about 10k, so i dont see how he's going to get a custom setup done for 12k, but hey whatever, i guess anything is possible.

 

 

this fread=fail....

some needs to post up the failboat to make it official

 

not to mention he also said taking out the engine and putting it back in with that price

 

+1
Even if that price is true I would think you would have to cut some corners to do it at that price. I've tried to cut cost with mods in the past and regretted it, but luckly it was just crappy NA bolt-on's. If you do this with FI your running a big risk of going KABOOM!!! I think its cool you want to try something different but my advise would be to do the research, call some of the reputable shops that are vendors here and also ask questions on the forum that you could find using the SEARCH function on this site.

Good luck.
