i am about to buy a 93 touring and i am curious as to how much it is going to cost me to get 400HP

 

8g plus instal

 

if you do it yourself...$5000 buying used parts...give or take a few...

 

Are we talking flywheel horsepower or RWHP?

 

injecters
clutch
fly
DP
High flow/MP
CB
ECU
Fuel pump
FMIC
to4e turbo

 

I love these kind of questions. Get right to the point. How much cash for 400 hp???


.. ha

 

(1ea) kidney = 400hp

(1ea) kids college fund = maintaining it...

 

If its 400 rwhp and its a daily driver then you'll need several more thousands of dollars for a different daily driver

 

heh...

not that I have a problem with gobs and gobs of horsepower, but what are you actually going to use it for? Bragging rights? Or are you going to actually run it?

 

One Million Dollars.....


J/K but there is not actual set price. Some people have different opinions but look to spend around 5k if not more..

 

i've spent about 5k and i am no where close to 400hp

 

Dude, how have you come along on your car? I'm looking at new wheels and a new paint job soon. My mod list is growing and growing and growing...

That only apply for Japan.

 

I bought most of my used parts from people in the states though

 

Shut up

 

i've spent almost 5k, and my car is still friggin stock . . . . . . .

 

id say you could get "around" 400rwhp for $5k. thats basically what ive done, but my car came with some stuff done to it already. haha, like my power fc. mmmmm. that was a definite plus on the purchase.

 

5-10K easily...

But after several years with little this and little that.
as your mods list grow. You gonna look back and say
Damn " I spent a lot" then you start calculating..
And think " WTF ".. and still want this and that..

making HP and looks isn't cheap thats for sure..
especially a FD3S.. expensive hobby..
But hey You gotta pay to play..

 

i'm getting the suspension bushings done today to get rid of the noise and improve handling. also installing n1 dual cb, boost gauge and tein coilovers. so tonight i'll have all of that plus koyo and dp. not sure what's next. don't want to deal with new ecu and tuning, so might just get new wheels (ssr integrals) or some HIDs. eventually i want to paint it silver to match my accord, but the paint is still good for now. so all of this and i'm far from 400hp.

 

Intake $100
Downpipe $200
Midpipe $200
Catback $400
PowerFC @ 1 bar boost - $1000

That makes about 400hp. I bought some stuff used so it was cheaper.

Now if you're talking 400hp to the wheels, that's a completely different story....

 

Hmm...i gotta be at 280 now.

 

I should be around 330 with about $9k spent (including reliability mods)

cb
mp
dp
m2 ic
intake
pulleys
ecu 12@psi
(for performance)

 

See stage upgrade in Rx7 store:
http://66.216.67.51/subcat.asp?0=218

Stage 2 plus MP or High Flow cat gets you there for $2600 plus labor. If you add an IC it gets expensive (1K etra).

 

its not that 400 rwhp is expensive its it gets very exspensive in the long run.. if you cant hook 400 rwhp to the ground its pointless, tires, lsd, race axles(not required) struts or coilovers,, but 400 rwhp ,$7 if you do it right, buy some used things it helps out .. my opinion ,, stay with twins ,lots cheaper

 

Those mods will give you 400 flywheel not rwhp.
