matty1990vr6 7 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Garrett gr35r turbo £1050Tial 38mm waste gate £180263 schimmel cams £400Arp head studs £180Timing chain set £205Head gasket set plus other gaskets £150Clutch £400Head spacer £60Intercooler £100Cooler pipesOil lines Cone filter £504" mafManifold t43" down pipe + exhaust £500Walbro fuel pump £170Injectors £200Started putting together a shopping list, now I now some prices will be slightly wrong but it's just a rough figure ATM.By the time you factor in software/ rolling roads/ clamps/ pipes/ fittings plus what ever Your looking at about the same price as stealth racings prices This is including an engine rebuild though while stealths dosentYes I'm going to rebuild a vr then turbo at a later date so I won't feel it financially as bad but when you look at the overall costs it's not far off especially when stealth have all the parts and know how to fit their kit with their eyes close Baring in mind this is all brand new parts Still this will achieve 350bhp and how many cars can you buy for under 3-4k with that kind of power that is reliable and built like a vw edwards0359, B4VR6 and martingraham 3 Link to post Share on other sites
