As suggested above, you should try to find all your own parts and save some money as much as you can. Use eBay to find all those cheap copy fuel pumps, plenums and exhaust manifolds.

That way they can charge you the time the job takes, plus the time to tidy up or repair the cheap part, charge you to replace the part when it fails and charge you all the labour again to fix it.

You'll save heaps.

It will cost you but it will be done properly.

yeh no that's not goin to happen build it proply the 1st time.

Excellent to hear.

If you find cheaper prices for parts they are offering, maybe ask them if they'll match it.

I don't doubt the parts list will be appropriate for the power you want to make but there are a lot of things involved in a build like that. Do you really need that plenum?

Do they do all their own engines or are the built somewhere else? What kind of warranty do they offer on their work (inc the engine) if any at all.

What kind of gaurantee do they give that you'll make the quoted power. It's a lot of money to spend only to fall short of your goal

They recently did a nitto rb32 build for a customer with an r34 gtr and oh my God so so much power..best part was customer had unlimited budget so they were able to do things properly.. Car drives like stock but when you floor it, destroys the road under it haha.

I thought you had a HTA3586?, anyways cams are to big for a start... looks like

a lot of money for f**kall gain..you seem to like to spend money for no apparent reason(and no i am not having a go at you

just having cars and mates with similair setups..thats total and utter overkill for the turbos you want, K.I.S.S, is what you want to do

quality parts that will do the job asked with overdoing/overkill them...you will spend twice as much for no reason or reliability..

You REALLY need to decide what you want before you start...

Just a quick one....I was reading through the list again and noticed you are only using 1000cc injectors and a pump that flows 400 L/min @ 60psi.

That pump will just scrape in at 650hp at the wheels on E85 so you should be ok for flow there but the injectors are really only good for 550hp on E85 so maybe you should ask them about 1600cc or 2000cc injectors instead?.

You can just bump the rail pressure up to make the injectors flow more but the pump will then flow less and it brings it closer to your 450kw margin. Just some food for thought anyway

to be honest I also thought they where on the smaller side if and when I Desideed to go E85 so yes bigger injectors I will get Edited by MRHD66

Honestly....I would develop a fantastic relationship with a workshop and get them to build the thing. Price sounds about right but its the things you can't put a dollar value to that are important. You take $1000 off the price somehow and eventually you will be paying $5000 back to them or someone else.

to be honest I also thought they where on the smaller side if and when I Desideed to go E85 so yes bigger injectors I will get

If and when? You're going to make 600hp at the wheels on 98? I applaud your courage

Can be done. Much safer on E85. The cubes should help but still.....

lol, so glad I'm not in the automotive industry anymore. People think you're ripping them off if you charge them for the time you spend sourcing parts. Then they say you did a shit job when the parts they supply that you've never used turn to shit, assuming they even give you everything you need. They also expect you to take up the warranty with the companies they bought the parts from :thumbsup:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
