I would sell it and buy one with the work done, or a lot of it done.

nahh man i rather spend the extra money.. I've had the car 10 years.. I'd sell my mrs before the car

Big turbo, injectors, e85 + 30psi

Should get there easy but don't expect your motor to last long.

600hp is bout 445kw, a standard motor is going to want to give up

[The Dan]

You won't do it for anything less than 30k reliably.

20k if you don't build the engine or gearbox

15k if you buy everything from ebay but then it could go either way - maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, maybe it costs you another 10k to fix all the bad stuff

[The Bogan]

Built 25/30, TO4Z, E85, + all supporting mods ( brakes, diff, fuel setup, manifolds, fabrication, clutch, exhaust, stuff)

20k should do it.

Or buy one built for less so you can keep your car for when the other one breaks.

yeah, i was talking bout building a engine not just bolt ons. I have been looking around the net and did find a rb30/25 on spool for 10k http://www.spoolimports.com/miscellaneous-short-engines/rb30det-complete-engine. 10-20k has gotta get me further then a big turbo, big injectors, ecu and a blown engine. Surely things haven't gone up that much

[Landy]

hmmm. well 600 isnt a fixed number i would prob be happy with 500, im just trying to get the best i can get for my money i have to spend

[UWISSH!]

U would be surprised how quick all the little things add up when building a motor,

There is also a difference in having a built motor and building the correct motor.

Labour is expensive, unless u do it all yourself.

I honestly don't think u will achieve it on your budget, I know from my own experience how much building a motor and supporting systems cost n it always ended up more then what I budgeted for

[WMDC35]

there ya go, 300ish rwkw as per

[The Dan]

500 hp will still cost you the same. The ONLY difference is the turbo and they are all within $100-$200 of each other in those sizes

shattered dreams

shattered dreams

Not shattered, enlightened.

Mine pushing just over 500hp ATM on 98, all I need is bigger fuel system to run E85 for more powers.

My new engine set up cost around 15k, that was a built 25/30 with a steam pipe exhaust manifold, turbo, Ross balancer and CAS, and some fabrication and tuning.

BUT

At 500hp the traction issues with a RWD become blatantly obvious, useless power is useless unless its a dyno queen.

Remember though a well set up 500hp RWD car should do a high 10, or so Im lead to believe, mines run a 11.130 so there is hope.

Think, plan, appraise, plan, do.

600hp...

$10K engine

$2.5k turbo

$1k intercooler

$2.5k E85 fuel system

$1k exhaust

$1.5k e85 tune

$1.5k ECU

20k adds up pretty quickly without even touching the gearbox/clutch.

400hp with bolt on's maybe a better option or buy an already built long motor.

20k will get you driving some pretty quick well built 32gtr's too

Do all the work yourself, you'll do it with 20k easy.

[Landy]

So.. if i spent like lets say... 2- 2.5k for good measures.. on a low kms engine from japan. What sort of of reasonable targets could i get within my budget

To be honest the thought had crossed my mind.. problem is.. ive worked on most things to do with a car but ive never done bottom end work.. How technical is it.. ps i am quite confident in building shit im just used to working from plans

[Landy]

ohh yeah ive never played with cams either

not DOHC anyway

Try n buy a locally already built motor, there is heaps on the forums

What happens if you buy a "built" motor from Japan n when it turns up u find its still a standard motor??

A low km motor is still a standard motor.

What ever u buy tho, make sure it has receipts n a reputable place who screwed the motor together
