13b Turbo costs?

I would like to get an idea what it would cost for a setup like this over here in the states.

-----

13Bt import engine
high flow turbo
Good intercooler
external wastegate
Microtech computer
2 X 12A turbo injectors
series 4 turbo gearbox

-----

Anyone got any ideas what I would be looking at paying for something like this?

Kick,

It Depends

You could spend as little as $2500 to get a jspec set up in your car. This is probably the cheapest route, at least in the short run.

I got a new ported engine (new housings, rotors), tranny, microtech, gt35/40 turbo kit, for about 7k.

The fuel system is going to cost another $1500. I am estimating the intercooler at about $800. Add another $1000 for clutch, flywheel, and miscellaneous stuff, and I should have my car running for about 10K. This is only to get the car running. I still have paint, suspension, brakes, wheels, rear end, etc.......

Anyways, expect 5 to 10k depending on what you do.

David

I think john may be out here for SevenStock, and will be tuning some cars while he is here. I got my microtech from him, and will be getting help on the tune.

Although the carb setup is tuneable by someone here, you can also just get a tuned map emailed to you, and probably run as well as a carb set up.
