Cost Analysis Of My Motor...

[v8klla]

Well, I decided to look back at my credit card transactions today and found out that I just passed the $10,000 mark for my motor! Yes, this is for just my motor and the supporting mods, it does not include the cost of my car or any exterior/interior modifications. 10 g's on performance baby, now I just need to get it running

"I see a cold air intake, it's got a NOS fogger system and a T4 turbo, Dominick, I see an AIC controller, it has direct port nitrous injection..."

"Yeah, and a standalone fuel management system. Not a bad way to spend ten thousand dollars..."

When I looked at my cards a year ago I was scared. I believe its worth it if you want the good stuff and the car to run the way you want. Good for you. This is America, lets spend $$$ and have fun. :bounce:

What engine, internals, turbo you get if you don't mind me asking?

[v8klla]

Yeah, it just ended up costing a lot more than expected... I think the take what you plan on spending, multiply it by two and add 20% rule is pretty accurate

As far as my motor it is 7 bolt 4G64, Wiseco pistons, eagle rods, fully balanced and blueprinted, T3/T4 56 trim turbo with .82 A/R exhaust housing, AGP Spearco 2-216 front mount, 850's, DSMlink, Crower 414 cams, Crower valvetrain, etc...

Nothing special

"2-JZ No shit..."

"I retract my previous statement"

Yeah, it sucks how fast it adds up and you don't really realize it. That's why I want out and pay the shit off. Next time around (if there is one) it will be cash only.

I feel your pain Chris!

[At-Least-It's-An-Evo]

That shouldnt cost $10k. Unless there are alot of misc. unecessary parts. I'm still well under the $10k mark.

[v8klla]

The mitsu stuff is for the timing belt, front cover, tensioners, gasket set, crank pulley, etc...

I think it got that high because I included all of the little stuff too.

And as you can see I spend a lot of time, and obviously $$$, down at QPR...Thanks guys!

Have fun with trannys. :goodluck: :secret:

[niterydr]

thanks for the business chris
Actually chris is a very very good sport, and I wish him 1000% luck with the '7 bolt'

[santa]

yeah Good luck for sure 7 bolt boy.... It should be a kick ass ride!

[AJ]

Yeah, it should be a hell of a ride. He has had some issues with having to send some items back to get differant ones, and just some misc stuff that adds up over time.

[SlowWhite]

So why don't you clue us in on what turbo you went with?

T3/T4 56 trim turbo with .82 A/R exhaust housing. Nothing special

Chris

He did tell us :razz2:

[v8klla]

Yeah, it is basically a GT35R minus the ball bearing part...I figure it will spool fast enough on the 2.4 as is

As far as QPR goes, without those guys this would have been a very different experience. They always give me the best price they can on parts and services, and I feel a lot better about things now knowing that they are being done correctly! It is the least I can do to throw some $$$ your way!

Last time you said it had a T350 wheel in it. You now changed that to the GT35 exhaust wheel?

[SlowWhite]

I know someone else who changed there turbo to GT35. :cheers:


But the owner is dumb and put it on a stock 2G internal 7 bolt Motor for the time being.

[v8klla]

Alright, maybe I'm wrong. My exhaust wheel is the 76 trim T350 wheel, but I did not know that the GT35R wheel was different???
