im deciding to go turbo by next year and want to kno what it will cost (average price) to do a whole engine rebuild with valve cover coated and the highest hrc kit available dont forget all electronics,fuel system changes,and anything else ill need to build a killer 420 motor for race time about the only thing i have picked out is the exaust which i want to go with a hks 3"cat back with titanium tip if theres a better exaust that you kno of add that and explain what the differences are if you can thanks for the help

50 bazillion dollars.

maybe a little more with valve cover coating...

10 grand +/- whatever. why dont you start small :wary

what would be a decent start point then because i kno the hrc kits are expandable so i would just buy the rest of the stuff to go with it but what shoould i buy first so im not kickin myself later sayin i should have bought it sooner??

Try researching first, then you'll know what you do or don't need. Read, learn, and make decisions for yourself. Every single car is different. You CANNOT throw parts on a car and just expect it to be fast. It doesn't work that way. $'s do not mysteriously turn into hp.

I am going to rebuild 1st, then do the turbo. Probably an HRC Stage 2. Depending on funds I may start off with a stage 1 but from what I researched so far, the Rebuild is about $3500 for the things I want to do and about another $3000 for the HRC if you buy new. Worry about the rebuild 1st cause you can always get deals on the HRC stuff either from these guys here or when HRC has sales later on.

3500 is a good start point! you gonna do the work yourself or pay someone?

close to 10G's is good average for "everything"

correct me if im wrong, but doesnt the hrc stage 3 come with a stage 2 turbo kit with fmic and a forged bottom end??

if im not wrong, i would say go that route, then start upgrading from there. i say this because if i had a decent job and maybe some money :) thats what i would do. but i just had to pay a grand to replace a head gasket and water pump... isnt that shitty?

hope that helps

i have spent almost 9000 on the full rebuild and the stage 2 hrc kit. I have the following things right now: Turbo Xs RFL, Turbo Xs dual stage bc,apexi tt, Fluidyne radiator, hrc stage 2 kit,howell bottom end rebuild, crower stage 2 cams, crane springs, rev 1mm oversized valves, titanium retainers, crank scraper,chill factory fpr, spec stage 3 clutch and a few other goodies.
