Either way Srce, this is a TON of money for minimal gain and street usage, IMO.

you know with IGY's setup he was boosting 8 psi...let me say it again...<span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>8 PSI</span> and was making over 400 rwhp.



How in the HELL is that minimal? His wastegate would barely open in 1st Gear!

Srce

I don't know about 700, I was thinking more like 500 for street usage, it's not like I have to turn the boost up to 1.5 kilo's for street use.



So, I missed needing one more wastegate, how much would a custom twin manifold cost? Does anyone know, and I don't plan on drag racing the car. This thing will get most pulls on the highway and road course.

ill tell you from experience, unless you are making the kit with your own hands....... personal calculations are always...... ALWAYS!!..... a lot lower than the actual cost of everything. you have to put into consideration evertying else that comes with it, labor would be a great deal of money, specially since that will be mostly custom. (custom fabrication = lots of ***** ****** money) you also have to put into consideration everything else that you will need to run that setup ex. real big wastegate, bov, intercooler, ECU, lots of fuel,....... soon after you get that car running, you better have upgraded rims and tires cuz there's no way you're not gunna die within a week with stock rims, transmission and differential braces, the axels you're gunna snap..............





yeah you're gunna need way more than 5k to get this goin





i know this first hand cuz im goin through this whole upgrade ****, and im getting great prices on everything i get, and sean is helping me out a lot with the labor and with all parts already fabricated, im spending more than twice of your projected amount.

Srce

I hear ya Martin. This is a long way from now, I'm hoping to jump into a car by Rotorfest, go stand alone right away, rims, and basic bolt-ons and reliability mods. Hoping to be GT30/37ed over winter.

wahwahwah...bunch of babies you guys are. Ask IGY how much all that cost him...wahwahwah

FikseRxSeven

well as long as you're prepared to spend on your wet dream..... hehe j/k







oh yeah.... dont forget about your engine, cant slap that on a stock engine, you wont see boost til tomorrow morning....... hmmm slap on another 5k for ito to build you something that will spool that **** up and handle that much power

FikseRxSeven

van, not everyone has their own shop and has the knowhow that igy has to fabricate things, and fabricate them the right way. and can also afford to take apart his engine if something in his experiment doesnt work right...... well i guess that goes for you too..... hehe, not just igy

From what everyone has said, it sounds a lot like a drag racing setup. And i'm not sure how well that much power with that kind of powerband would really work on a road course.



You say you like to plan things out before you do them which is good. But what are your goals for this car?

Srce

My goals? Hmm, road racing, occasional drag run, and highway driving. BTW, just to make this a bit more impossible, this car will be my daily driver.
