I have a 95 m6 z28 83,243 miles on the clock. I bought the D1SC for 4k spent all my savings. Well car money savings. I don't want to install it on a stock shortblock. How much am I looking to spend I want a reliable blown motor, forged internals ,blower pistons ,cam, heads. Anyone know how much more I should save? I can't seem to find any threads that sum up the amount of money spent. Your probably gonna ask y did I buy the blower first. Answer Bc if I didn't I would be very indecisive on what kind of motor to build N/A,Turbo,S/C

A GOOD forged shortblock is probably going to run $3500 easily and the topend another $3000 easily(more is likely), add another $1000 in fuel system, oiling miscellaneous other stuff, then the car needs full exhaust and some sort of intake tract to the blower, suspension, clutch.

Bet you can spend another $10k pretty easily.

If you want you can save a few hundred by reusing the stock crank and even just rebuilding the stock rods if you are keeping the rpms down

I don't plan on spinning 7k rpm just a street car w *****. Its Not a drag car yet or anytime soon. I have the bolt ons minus heads. I want a bullet proof bottom end. Thanks for replying bro

You are the most indecisive person, ever.

I hope you know what you're getting yourself into. You are building a money pit.

It was already mentioned to you in a few other threads that boost is a huge financial commitment. Kind of hard to have sympathy for you on your waste of a purchase.

LOL. Boosted engines don't need $3k+ top ends. $2kish is enough.

Guess that depends on your goals. I should have said $3000+ in topend and valvetrain because what folks often overlook is that by the time you do nearly $2000 in heads and cam you still need another $1000 in gaskets, intake porting, valvetrain and other stuff.

You would be doing this guy a HUGE disservice if you lowball everything. Better to aim high with the budget and MAYBE end up with leftover cash than to run out before done.

Agreed. Going over budget is not fun, especially if you end up like a lot of builds do - way over your head and only half finished.

A cheap 355 with forged pistons/rods will still cost a decent amount.


ask me how i know?


Than you have to figure out what your going to do for the rest of the car. It will be 500hp, and a stock car is half that. You will need to upgrade pretty much everything in the the car.

I bought my heads for $1000 and cam for $350. True I did buy the heads from here but they were NIB.

Why would you need to port the heads or intake with a boosted app unless you were going for like 700+ hp? 500 hp is easily done without any of that. The main concern with top end stuff on a somewhat mild boosted app is getting the CR down and making sure you have enough seat pressure on your springs. Not high revs or head CFM.
