donnylad Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 So what would be needed for big power? I am trying to work some costs out for in around 3-4 years time, I know they will change slighty but thought I might get an idea. What I am after is a 10.something quater mile. I am thinking to achieve that around 650 BHP then it will be stripped out leaving 2 seats. Any rough ideas on costs or what exactly will need doing that would be great! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggyeye Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 engine wise its the usual. forged pistons,rods,bearings. i assume you will be getting a sti? as the blob gearbox are tough as nails. though for 650 id get a ppg kit just for assurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rps Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I read somewhere to get 500bhp plus its easily 10k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucky Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 big power = big money,try do it cheap and it will cost you more when you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Closed deck,stroked block, mahosive turbo, better fuel delivery swirl pot etc Standalone ecu = syvecs To name a few, you could drop 10k on the engine alone Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 You could probably buy the engine components and get the machine work done for 4k but that's if you build it yourself. turbo , injectors and fuel system 2.5 k . Clutch and drive train 3k . Ecu and mapping 1.5 k Brakes 1.5 k . Pluck a figure outta the air for labour to build and fit everything probably another 6k I wouldn't expect any change from 16k to buy most things new and get it all fitted .

donnylad Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 I was thinking between 10-15000, so the figures coming in are around what I thought. Do companys do off the shelf blocks rated at certain BHP? I know norris used to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Dunno about off the shelf but plenty will build a block to the spec you want You could try emailing mick (ex api engine builder) http://rmperformance.co.uk/ He might be able to point you in the right direction [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggyeye Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 id budget 20k just incase..as others have said. if you start cheaping out on stuff to keep in budget you will have big issues. trust me i did it once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 To be honest.... if you want to do drag racing the scoob isnt the package 20k for a 650bhp car....... you can go and buy a decent R33 GTST for about 5..... another 4 and its pushing 400 easy..... 5 k gets it past 500.... friend of mine had his 700bhp one for sale for 10k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
