IMO 450 is about good enough for most tracks. If its a tight track a NA can smoke you. I wouldn't want big HP with all that lag for road courses. So many variables.

I think stock power is too much ,I'm going back to my prius.

Also I like the fact that this MHI kit with 18G turbos on a built motor will put down some serious numbers. I don't think you would have to upgrade to Garret turbos. Maybe just rebuild the ones you have while your there. You'd be more than happy enough.

I thought he was talking about just a built motor. Of course it can be that much. It could even be more than that with all the higher end parts. I guess only time will tell what I end up doing

any chance of getting pics of the manifolds? i would also like to see the setup and down pipes for the ext wg

SPOHN · 04-20-2013, 04:17 PM

^ can't be to much different from there other kits. There's only so much room that things can be routed/ mounted.

I also have to come up with some more dough to run blowoff valves.hehe

Footloose301 · 04-20-2013, 04:27 PM

I'm wondering whether I should install the kit as it comes and then add the guages and clutch and other misc stuff as I come up with the money OR should I let it collect dust until I get everything around....

Keeping an eye on boost would be nice

SPOHN · 04-20-2013, 05:34 PM

Boost gauge would be my first. I wait to see how long the clutch can go. No real sense in changing it till. But you never know. Lol

Tower how in the hell does it cost $34k to build a motor lol. Please tell me if I'm wrong or something isn't right here... But my friend just built his VQ35HR for about $6k. Carillo rods, Carillo Pistons, Jwt cams, full valvetrain (not sure exactly what brand) ARP bolts, plus other little things and it literally came out to be $6K. The 35HR isn't that much different than the 37vhr. Say a motor build costs around $10k, paired with a $9k turbo kit that can handle 800rwhp... I'm good with that

Stage 5 fuel system: $3400-----Have to feed the girl
New 4.2L with core : $15,400----was going to keep original engine as a back up.
Boost controller, race logic t/c..to control the hp, new clutch to handle the power, new exhaust, gauges etc.
You can't just thrown in a few parts and hop for the best with 800hp. You need to control it and make sure everything else will not explode the first time you get on it.
But hey good luck with your thought of you only need an engine build and larger turbo

Agree with SPOHN, gauges and then the clutch. If you are planning to pull more out the kit then a 3" exhaust and clutch upgrade is a must. Like everyone else has said a thousand times on here...550whp is as far as you should take a stock block anyways.
