Hi guys,

I posted a group buy for APS turbo kit on the vendor for sale forum. The price is way too good to be listed here so please pm me for pricing.

Thanks,

Still waiting on response for the messege I sent you on your other post .

 

Hahaha, it is now time for those of you who were wishing for a group buy to put up or shut up!

 

How much would forged rods and pistons cost?
And how much extra to install said parts?

 

thousands

 

That's it?! Whew!!! I was thinking it was gonna be in the millions!

Seriously tho, I was considering going FI down the line, maybe a year or so. However, with all this talk of group-buys, my best chance to do so may be now.

I'd rather do everything right the first time through. With the engine pulled (if they pull it), I might as well have them work on the internals as well.

I have no idea how much forged parts run and how much extra it is to install them. I'm just trying to figure out if this is even a viable option for me with the budget I have.

Anyone know?

 

Parts are not the expensive part. It is the labor costs to build a low compression engine. Rods and pistons are a couple of thousand. Cams, if you wanted them, would be another thousand. Cost of the turbo kit plus maybe five thousand or so in labor. You could spend $15-$25 grand easy.

After I get cams and an upgraded fuel system installed I will be around $15 grand, probably more, without a built bottom end. I don't really want to look at the receipts and find out the exact number...

But this should give you a good enough idea of what it could cost.

 

you can get rods and pistons for around $1800 i believe from gq626.

 

Thanks Lou, that's the info I needed.

 

I am so in on this group buy. I just hope that Gruppe-S will do a good job on giving us great pricing.

 

Must...... Hold..... Back........

 

Your PM is full. Please pm me with price. Thanks.

 

DO IT!!!

 

I would in a heartbeat w/ the SLK's downpayment. GF would kick my a$$ though .

How about a lay-away plan?

 

any word on pricing yet?

 

Tom,

Please empty out your PM box. Trying to send you a PM.

Thanks,
James

 

got a replied back from Tom. The price is typical as other selling vendor. Around 10K still. I thought this group buy could lower the price a bit. Guess i will wait again.

 

Hey Tom,

This deal is not bad but since I'm watching out for my fellow Zsters (especially here in Cali ), would you be able to beat/match the deal that Z1 offered in January for $8500 INSTALLED? This deal didn't even require a minimum of people to purchase (i.e. group buy). I'm sure if you offered at this amount, you'd have A LOT of business . Here's the link:

I would also be interested in purchasing just the kit itself & I'll be more than happy to pick it up from your shop too. So no worries for me on shipping costs. However, I am still curious if you are a certified vendor for APS. Meaning, if we purchase these from you, would APS support us if we ever run into issues such as missing/broken parts, etc...?

Thanks!

 

That's a pretty good deal there, I checked it out. Installed and dyno, to be at 100%. That's good to look into.

 

Hmm? Wonder why they didn't respond back to my post above since I know they've been posting on the other thread.
