Its the best $2700 i've ever spent on anything.



Trust me dood, you're gonna spend the same ammount on the car either way, so you might as well just save up and do it all at ONCE instead of over 2 years, and get twice the power you would.



I calculated it out, i spent about 2 grand, maybe 2500 on the car, for exhaust, fans, this that the other thing, same w/ my black car before that. and i could have had a turbo setup the whole time.....



Trust me, its WELL worth it.

maybe you can get these things cheaper or more new engine like this is $4500 est from mazdatrix this is a better way to go cuz they don't give you all the add0-on's did i miss anything anyone? or you can spend est $1000 less and add a turbo on it i don't recommend engine wont last long and might cost you more in the long run unless you can get these things done at a cheap price

What do you upgrade the computer with in the GSL-SE? I thought the FC computers were the only ones that were "chippable". WTF?

Ya I dont recall much computerized engine components on an fb. The only computer upgrade I'd see is if you had a TII Swapped engine. Which accually by the looks of it might be cheaper than what you have listed. You could do a TII Swap, and upgrade the turbo (Among other things) and it would probably still be less than $4500 and Im pretty damn sure you'd make 250HP, if not more if done properly.

SAFC i think would be good for an ecu upgrade....

.... Again...



I have a TURBO prepped block (tii stock block), turbo, carb, etc, should be around 250 rwhp, for $2,700.

alright thanks for the info, its just for 250hp and 5000, might as well buy a faster car.. lol.. but i dont wanna, i want his rx-7, i was thinking can 200hp put away a civic or any small ricer... also, iif i buy this car off my bro, hes probably gonna ask for like 250-500$.. im willing to spend up to 2-3 grand rebuilding it (cdn) tell me what i should do..

Rebuild what you have, do a mild street port (just get templates from Racing Beat or similar), get a full RB exhaust, and if the budget can stretch to it, switch to a Weber carb. That should get you a minimum of 180hp, possibly up to 200, more than enough to take care of any small rice https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

webber or if u want "ease" of use and readily available parts, a racing beat holley. im a fan of dual barrels personally.

So pretty much start by fixing up the car, (make it look nice) then intake/exhaust cardburator, anything else..?
