You are a lunatic, but we always knew that...

so there no real point spending the money to turbo the stock engine i may aswell engine swap instead?

Put it this way: everything gets vastly more expensive the less you do yourself (and sometimes expensive even if you do).

Vectose has recently proven that you don't need to engine swap or spend over 10k (far as I'm aware) to crack 200kw, but he has done it well and proper and has an experienced tuner who knows their stuff. You're already struggling for traction even below that figure, and then you've got the gearbox to worry about like in Ben's case.

If you have deep pockets, then you do this:

And if you have endlessly cavernous finances then you chop it up, EVO swap it and make it AWD for mad internet cred points.

Dont forget Rob did most of the fabrication himself I think..

Exactly. And also made the loom for the ECU. And stripped the engine down. And did all the fitting (pretty sure). Etc, etc...

So 10k in parts alone

f**k that

:lol: Cost me 5k. And that's with a $1200 Haltech + tune and all new parts.

And yes, did everything but the head machining myself.

Fabrication is the most expensive part though.

vr4 engine swap or evo engine swap? which would be better and why looking for around 250HP

id be happy to spend 10k on forced induction to get the car i want. nice little turbo fto
