all right.. please just dont respond if your respone is search..

i recently got a raise at my job and all i can think about is getting a new car - fast forward 3 weeks from now and ill have 6 fresh points on my license.. not payin crazy insurance(350z) so im keepin what i got and makin it better..until 2005 at least

now..

from people who have done the followin please let me know costs for each..

1.) h22a - rough estimate for build up..
2.) f22b1 - rough estimate for build up/turbo
3.) f23 - is it even worth sacrificing vtec for cheaper way to boost with a 2g eclipse turbo setup..
4.) anything else anyone can think of for more power from this power hungry four banguh owner..

I appreciate all and ANY help you can give me.. thru research and experience..

thing is a just test drove a 350z.. and let me just say i wish I never got a speeding ticket in my life..

 

1)$2000 too much for 50hp if the unknown used engine works.
2)$3600 for the fmax kit (got me 100 hp to the wheels)
3)F22's are hard enough to find parts for....F23's would just be worse.

Regardless, take the 350Z payments at $XXX/mo and youll be there in no time.

 

how much do you think it would cost to rebuild my motor.. i got just about 115k on it and it runs better than any other car i've had.. once i put the turbo on its gonna be a different story..

money is only an issue if we're talking more than 1500 for a rebuild.. but i want somethin built for boost... because i can get a deal on turbo kits thru a friend.. cant decide between a drag gen 4 or fmax..im think i already know what you recommend..

if ya could either respond here to pm me about your build up... i think id rather just buy another motor with less miles.. build it up\get some head work done and then break it in before i turbo it..

thanks..

 

Pistons and rods alone were $1100 for my built F22.

Throw in sleeving and thats another $1100.

I put in all new bearings, pumps, belts too. $XXXX

I think youd be better off boosting the one you have....I put my turbo on with 110K on the odometer.

 

so you're sayin i won't have any problems if i just go for the turbo now? if i would just opt for a $500 30k mile engine.. could i see the same power gains as you?

 

The 253hp and 264ftlbs is on the stock internals.

Its probably cheaper to buy low mileage F22's and drop em in.

Figure $600 a piece...you could blow four of them before you got to the cost of a built one.

 

damn bro.. thanks for lending off the knowledge..
you sold me on it then.. im gonna order the engine tommorow..

have you had any experience with the drag gen 4 kit at all?
i only ask because i can get it from $1000 cheaper than the fmax.. but i guess you get what you pay for.. lemme know

 

No experience on the drag kit.

You may wanna check out http://www.honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=16 for FI info. You can absorb a ton of info over there.

 

get the GUDE head package which they say will give 58 whp and then turbo that. you will fly.

 

saw that post before.. wasn't like $1500?? i could do that while i save up\make a decision on the turbo kit.. has anyone ever had any experience with GUDE?

 

yeah its about 1700
