It`s been over a year since I posted I believe! I sold the car in my signature to a friend over 6 months ago, and I now live in Japan. In March, I will return to Texas where an S4 fc awaits my abuse. Here`s the question:

-What would you folks do with an S4 n/a and $4k.
(The entire four grand will be going toward the motor / trans / fuel...rims and paint and kits can wait.)

 

bridgeport - haltech - coilovers

that should take care of your $4K. Then sell the leftovers.

 

nitrous or turbo swap if you care about power. and this is coming from someone who squeezed a decent amount of power out of an n/a

 

S4 TII motor (i think corksport might have some.), injectors, fuel pump, standalone, RB turbo-back, FMIC, New oil cooler lines, Better radiator, BNR Turbo.

I think you can shop around and find good deals, ^^that list should be over 4K but you can eliminate some things and still have a nice rotary. Remember you also need to do suspension and brakes.

I don't know how much it costs to go LS1 but it's an option. No my cup of tea but

If you want to stay NA and emissions isn't an Issue then do a nice street port, true duals, pineapple racing sleeves, SAFC (or standalone, an Rtek too but I'm not too familiar with it), TII Tranny and rear end (preparing for possible TII swap?), 5-lug swap+4 pot brakes,

Either way you got your money spent

 

sell the n/a and get a t2

 

+ 1

and welcome back

 

+2
best overall solution
good luck

 

definatly sell and start from a T2

 

depends on the condition of the NA too. If it's mint then a swap would be the way to go but selling the NA and BUYING a TII is also a good option.

 

Hey whats up Jap-man... The N/A in question is the one I'm trailing home soon (check the sig) The engine is in great condition, but the interior and paint are shot, FYI.

 

While you're over there, grab a jspec engine, sneak it into your carry-on, and have it rebuilt over here. That should cost you no more than $2k, I would think, versus blowing the whole $4k on a TII.

 

Easiest way to make an N/a kick *** for $4,000.... buy a T11 front clip apox $2500+tax, stand alone, new rubber. money spent.

 

t2 swap. and dont go cheap neither.

just be sure to get a beater.

 

you should bring over little things from Japan too.

 

if u can sell the n/a minimum 1500-1800 + high 2500. and your 4k, u can take that money and buy a mint s5 turboII. moded. or a stock near perfect t2.. check the for sale section theres some real nice ones. and dont forget ebay..

remember with a t2 swap id also do a rear end convertion. if thats what your doin. its easier and better to get a t2. than doin all this to get something what a t2 offer in stock.

 

I think at most he can get 1000 for the N/A in the shape it's in.... but I agree with you guys, go for a tII and sup it up!

 

Yo texFCturboII, I`ll be getting the n/a in your signature, and you`re driving the tII in my signature!!! If I go with a TII front clip, I`ll be back where I was in a TII, but instead it`ll be totally stock...boo. I want some good answers!!! I like the idea of a 13bt/tnas, standalone, tII rear end, bnr, pump, and injectors...How are bnr`s with a stock intercooler

 

depends on the boost and what AIT you're seeing. ANything is better than the top mount though.

 

LS1 swap!

 

^^ that's like telling a guy with no game to turn gay as a solution!

 

Buy a TII and keep the NA as a daily or sell the NA and have extra cash to buy a good TII and work it over.

 

is spend the 4 gs on 5 suitcases and fill it with some nice parts while i was in japan then come home and throw em on the car i would reccomend all motor/ suspension parts but it all about what suits ur fancy

 

screw your n/a sell it and bring t2 back with you, sell the rhd swap parts go left hand drive and now your 3k left to spend on a suspension and engine mods will go a bit farther
