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

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 

I read somewhere to get 500bhp plus its easily 10k

big power = big money,try do it cheap and it will cost you more when you 

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

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 .

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.

 

 

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)

He might be able to point you in the right direction [emoji6]

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

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
