Only one question.. How much would you guys say it costs on average to build an engine from completely stock to be able to run a turbo with decent boost and rebuild the engine with the whole turbo set up too? And im not talking cheap crap.. i want the goods..
 
Depends Wat Motor And If Your Gonna Do Any Of The Labor Your Self

What Is With People Using CAPITAL Letters On The First Letter Of Every Word Lately??????

Yes its depends on what you want. You can spend a TONNE of money or do it cheaper. Like Blanco said, 3000 to 30000.
 
i built my ls/vtec turbo for almost 3k with good shit

W-T-F..............

are you a girl?

no thats Frank (bluehatch95 or whatever the hell his name was then).. the one who ripped some people off a while back

and it looks like he got a little happy with the paint and decided to paint everything
 
Damn alrigt. To be honest im just learning about these imports.. I dont know much so i def. need a lot of help in knowing what the good stuff is all that.
 
1st problem is your looking for the "good parts" like there's only 1 setup for whatever motor you're trying to build. There's a LOT of options when building a car and all have their pro's and con's. I recommend getting some books on engines/turbos and how they work. From there you'll be able to tell yourself what is the best option for what you want.

:withstupid:

Would also recomend looking around on other sites and this 1 for peoples builds simpler to your car :p
 
I like the way the 1200 dollar build sounds lol. I mean.. its not like ill be able to just say ya ima rebuild the whole thing and put the whole turbo setup on it at once.. i dont have that much money lol. What engine did you build for $1200?
<<< built a boost-ready D series for about $1200...that is of course minus the turbo compontents.

 
D16Z6.....with a little insight from BLANCO. Same build would apply to your stock EX's engine. It wasn't a killer build. The head was stock except a little polishing and a three-angle valve job. I notched the block myself to accomidate the EAGLE H-beam's. For pistons I went with YCP 8.5-1's ( same as VITARA's ) w/ HASTINGS rings and bolted the head on with ARP head studs. A complete rebuil kit w/ new oil/water pump, bearings, head gasket, etc. ( everything but piston rings ) was installed to freshen up what was already there. I did everything myself except the head work.

I sold the motor to a guy up in NY. Last I heard it runs low 13's. Can't rember what BAR/psi though.....

But i thought you said... STOCK TO "holy shit" ?
a $1200 build is not a "holy shit" build, its more like an "no shit" build.

I was able to boost my ls last year with $1200 also. Piece of cake,.
:D
 
Well ya eventually i want it to be boosted and shit but i cant just do it all at once as i said before. I would like to get it all ready for boost now so that way when i get the money to boost it i can just boost it and not have to worry about doing all the shit that i coulda done before when i had the money

to holly shit it matters what motor and about 9000- 15000 i would say
 
Well i would also like to do an engine swap but i wanna buy an engine and build it before i put it in my car just so i can keep driving my car and not have to drive my jeep that guzzles gas. What would you guys say is the best buildable honda engine?
