5500 isnt tooooo far off the price of a procharger kit from bob at EPP, youd need a bigger fuel pump and injectors too though , and you should pin the crank too in my opinion. Your looking at around 7-7500 bare minimum with misc stuff you will end up needing that you wont expect.

If thats all you have to spend on forced induction then turn around and run and TRY not to EVER look back in this section again for your own good

Buy i newkit from BOB. I wish i sure would have, I ended up spending more all said and dont for my used kit.

THEhomelessONE

i saw an episode on spike when they were talking about the procharger, lol im still used to the import price range, so would 4gs be enough just to build the engine? id rather be safe than sorry if im spending over 3000

THEhomelessONE

10,000 if i wait until october, and if i race a few of my friends for money here and there, they are still into 4cyls and staying under 220hp lol

plan on spending 7 grand. If you plan on it it will make life a whole lot easyer.


do it the right way with nice good stuff from EPP

THEhomelessONE

ok, so 7gs will be enough to build the motor and a turbo or procharger?

BigBenz

iTrader: (7)

7 gs will be enuff to put a supercharger on it. If you want a build motor that a whole new world.

From what I've seen here 500 can last, 600 doesn't last long, 550 is walking the edge.

You could get forged rods and pistons for your stock motor and install ARP hardware and some stock 317 heads for ~2K or less then the motor would be good for 850+hp.

New forged shortblock $2900
Stock 6.0L 72cc Heads $350
Valvetrain $350
Procharger kit $6000
Tuning $500
Fuel System using stock lines $1000

Miscellaneous $1000 easy

That should get you well into the region of breaking everything else

Drivetrain: $$$$$

it never ends lol

I got a D1SC tuner kit with everthing I need for around 6300 from bob. He has a packaged deal on his website for DIY Procharger kits that I took advantage of.

unless your looking for over 600- 700 rwhp full time
i wouldnt bother with a FI motor
for 7k$ u can build a mean N/A motor that will put u over 500rwhp
if properly built.
can always throw on some spray if need be.

When you all say 500hp you mean flywheel horses, right?

landstuhltaylor

iTrader: (6)

no, we tend to only use rwhp numbers here. its a much more common measurement as you dont need to take the motor out.

I'd say 500-600rwhp with a stock engine down to the head bolts. But at the higher levels all bets are off. I'd at least do head studs if I really pushed one.

nope.. we're all talking power at the wheels.

THEhomelessONE

yes im talking about to the wheels, sorry for not stating that before, how much would it cost to fully build the engine for boosting? or if i got a shop to do it all?
