Cool stock FC and $4k

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

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.

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.

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

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.
