I just got a stock 87 turbo with a dead eng for 500.00 I want to build the car for over 400 hp, I also want to up grade all parts of the car to take the power about how much money am I looking at . Relly dont want to go over 10,000. or I will just do a stock rebuild and try for 250 hp thanks chris

 

probably around 10k. depends how much of it you do yourself.

 

I will do about 75% of work . but not the eng rebuild the install yes

 

the motor is probly 3k alone..just rebuilt

with that hp, and the fuel and boost your gona be running,m your gona need a halteck, another 1k
fmic? 1k?
the stock turbo isnt gona give you that hp.. i have no idea on turbo prices.. but guessing 1k (go ahead, correct me)
Uh. upgrade injectors, fuel pump.. i have no idea
Tuning!

ok.. i really have no idea.. but its gona be alot

 

I agree, how much you do yourself can totaly make or break the deal. Also you have to think about streetability. If its not going to be a track only car 400RWHP is VERY hard on a 2nd gen and have a useable car. Also whats your car backround? 400RWHP in a RX-7 is ALOT faster than 400RWHP in a big block or somthing like that. you don't need 400rwhp to compete with Vet's/Vipers and cars like that.

 

the turbo looks like 1250.00 http://www.turbofast.com.au/sales.html

 

I have 3 cars a 88 na and a 95 altima 88 celica gt for getting around I just want a car that will kick some 50,000 $ sport car *** IT would be cool to do it for say 10,000 Is it to much to ask of a 1987 mazda tII

 

The engine build alone is about $6K, and then there's the turbo, turbo manifold, FMIC, wastegate, BOV, aluminum radiator, EMS, boost controller, exhaust, clutch & pressure plate, etc. You are looking at a lot of cash for this.

 

$2000 rebuilt engine
$500 custom made FMIC
$1500 t04+manifold
$1300 haltech
$700 exhaust
$350 boost controller
$150 BOV
$400 wastegate
$800 clutch/flywheel
$400 1600cc's + upgraded rail.

that should be around $7k this is assuming you do all the work yourself and can get hooked up with some dyno time for tuning. and dont forget all the ghetto mods. you should be 400hp capable with that

 

hahahaha the ghetto mods.

 

My mechanic, Chris Sanders from Banzai Racing hit 400 hp in his 87TII. Email him chrissanders@netzero.com He's also on the forum as BlueTII from Monroe, MI.

 

Mine was $18,776.26 but, I didn't touch it.

 

didnt make the 400hp?

 

I did 376 with my tuning, way rich.

 

IMO: If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

 

$1,500 for a Rebuild and street port
using NA gasket Kit-
$300-$500 for a FMIC depending if you do the Piping ur self-
$1500 for To4E 60-1/Deltagate/Custom Manifold/Custom Down Pipe-
$1100 Haltech E6k
$10 Home Depot Boost controller
$150-225 BOV
$180 Deltagate wastegate
$300 Heavy Duty Clutch Kit
$180 1600cc Injectors with machined Rail
$95.00 walbro 255 Fuel Pump
$145.00 SX Fuel Regulator

 

6K+

Or you can be like me and shop on Ebay
and you can do it for half that

 

Thanks for the help I think I am going to start the project with the eng and go from there untill I run out of money I am going to go with a mild street port is that good with this kind of hp target

 

who on this forum is the top dog on hp

 

crispeed or soul assassin

 

I don't agree with that. Just because he's not a millionaire doesn't mean he can't afford it. Hes on the right track to affording it by creating a budget IMO.

 

you can build a reliable 400hp car for about $6k+, id expect to spend $8k or so.

There are people who run 400 hp through the stock block with no porting, a street port would be just perfect for a streetable car with gobs of power.

 

but isnt soul assassins car fully streetable? im looking do do the same thing..lol why is it so hard on the rx-7 i am planning to get a full bridge and renforce the hell out of the motor, lol i would think you would need some custom stuff to handle the hp at around 400+ am i right in this asumption?

 

the stock TII drivetrain is pretty tough, there's not a whole lot you can do to beef it up. you can do a KAAZ diff, and chromolly half shafts, but that's about it, and those are for crazy people .

"Streetable" is a relative term, some people think a fully bridgeported motor with a 9 lb flywheel, an xtreme pressure plate, and a T51R turbo is streetable some people think a car with a full rollcage is also streetable. It's all about personal preference i guess .

The Chassis of the car is actually very strong, i know several hardcore drag FC's that run 9's with no problem on the stock chassis.

You might want to dowel pin the motor. it's not that incredibly necissary under 500 hp, but the extra security is nice.

 

You don't need no custom stuff to be able to have 400 streetable rwhp. You don't even need an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator. You sure don't have to have a BP engine.

Alf blew up his engine because, I believe, he had a mistake built into the engine or, a momentary lapse in reasoning.
