you guys ever have any meets nearby?
|
2421, RE: northern jersey Posted by thisismygs, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
we've tried/spoke about meeting a couple of times, but it has yet to happen. don't know why exactly. a few people say they're willing, but we never really decide on a place. maybe its time to actually do this. summertime is probably the perfect time.

well i looked up that island dragway, and its like an hour away from where i'm usually at so i dunno about that.. but maybe sometime.. i'm an automatic and the only performance type mods i have are a ram intake and just got new spark plugs.. i might even be able to get low 15's in the 1/8..hehe.. i'm really new to upgrading my car's performance but hopefully after a while my car will be respectable.

2431, RE: northern jersey Posted by bhomeyer, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Well, lemme know if ya ever need a hand. Things I've done, and know how to do :
Bottom End Rebuilds(leave the top to the pro's) Suspension NOS Ignition Bodykits/minor bodywork... Audio/Amps, subs, custom boxes, etc... Painting Interior.. haha Turbo(in the works) Gauges installs, etc...
Actually, it's easier to just say if it can be done, I think I can do it. With enough beer, there is nothing I can't do. Ohh, and air tools help. haha

what's the total cost of a turbo? (all parts, rebuilding engine, etc.)
|
2433, RE: northern jersey Posted by bhomeyer, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
woah boy. Turbo kit, 2100 or so, rebuild, depending on the components you want to put in. So, uhm, pick somethings. :)
Eagle rods? JE Pistons, I'd assume? Bearings? What kinda?
Also, you need all the seals, and gaskets.
Brian... 95 Venge... juiced. boost is a comin'...
|
2434, RE: northern jersey Posted by ableach33, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
well i'm still really new here so i don't really know too much about all that.. but if its just 2100 for the turbo.. then i guess if i want to go that route.. i'd better start saving.. are there any cheaper ways of getting more power.. besides nos (i'd like to have something more constant)

2435, RE: northern jersey Posted by bhomeyer, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
It all adds up man. Intake, ignition, etc. If I were you, I'd do what I did. While your getting money together for "turbo" or something to that effect do the little things that would "come" with a turbo kit. Then build one up, little by little. (Though I didn't do that with the turbo kit, I'll give ya some examples)
HRC kits come with a CarTech FMU, it's peice. So I got the Vortech.
Injectors help w/ turbo, etc. I got ford motorsport ones. While your at that, get an S-AFC to control these larger injectors.
Get the Walbro 255LPH fuel pump. Your gonna need it.
All the "upgrades" your going to want for going turbo.

i might go that way.. i think my next "semi-expensive" mod will be an exhaust.. hopefully i can get some more noticeable gains that way.. also.. i'm automatic so that usually stops me from wanting to spend too much to get extra power..
