What I'm curious about is the power that can be made in my set-up with the Next Gen 6870 with a 1.15. I might pull the trigger on that next when I get the trans refreshed.

 

Man I did so much research prior to choosing a head gasket. I would have went with an Athena since they are local but you can not use their gasket if you are o-ringed. I didn't want to risk running a cometic and the cosworth one is impossible to find. I then contacted Norris Design to utilize his product but it would have cost an arm and a leg to buy and get it here. I finally found the Siruda and they have an amazing track record with high boost pressures in their RB gaskets. I decided to bite the bullet and found a 4g64 87 mm one for $50! Keep me updated on the Xona 6869. On a buddies 2.0L it spooled quite slowly. My next turbo might be a Xona or the next gen 6870.

 

The amount of builds, transmissions and restoration **** I've gone through, I could've bought a house! 😆 I don't even count anymore.

 

I will take a stab at this one lol. Without looking at the first post in guestimates being I just went through this myself.


short block 8k
head 3k
trans 6k
tcase 2k
cdi 1500
fittings 500
fmic 1200
ecu 1700-2100
clutch 3k (if exedy)
driveshaft 1k
fab work 1k
turbo kit 6k
exhaust 800
fuel pump setup 1200 with lines
injectors 1200
fuel rail 150
throttle body 300
intake mani if not stock 1000
tune 1500

so to answer the guys question in my own experience if it were me building this setup roughly 41,450 and thats not exact parts cost being Idk what op paid but from what I have delt with with my own built lol. Op you can chime in to see if i am close you dont have to say how much but to give people an idea of how much builds like this cost.

 

Zero to hero Evo is 50-75k. Depends on the parts and how much power. If you're going for 8-900 wheel or more, you should have it in your budget to replace the engine or any drivetrain component at any time without notice...

 

Lol why I said roughly thats not including any labor or anything. And I agree I have prob double that in my car in the last few sets of mods and it adds up quickly
