how much have/are you planning on spending?

christoph1371 · 04-19-2002, 09:03 PM

I have searched the AFI and found some people who say how much they have spent on turboing their cars. The problem is they are few and far between.
Is there any possible way to have a merged thread or a poll on how much you have paid/are going to pay for going rs-t?

Why do you freakin' care!!

You own a W freakin' RX!! I think I know where you're trying to go with this and I don't like it!!:monkey:

mike...

just kidding!!

I'm going to spend arm & a leg. Maybe first born if I have to.

hayscoob · 04-19-2002, 11:41 PM

Don't ask. I blew up my motor and I can tell ya the rebuild is damn expensive, not to mention the initial cost of the turbo kit. My wallet has a headache!

Paul...

8Complex · 04-19-2002, 11:50 PM

Over $10k at this point... less then $1500 of it is on the car right now. *shrug* Gotta spend more to put all the stuff back on.

Impreza Rider · 04-19-2002, 11:56 PM

I spent about $2200 for my entire turbo set up (including clutch and flywheel), and just spent another $1300 on an ECU.

Transmission os probably next on the list after it breaks.

kastle · 04-20-2002, 12:12 AM

I've spent 10k easy between the 2 different turbo setups, the tranny upgrade and the TEC-II.... Arm, leg, first born and my SVX....

scootr · 04-20-2002, 12:46 AM

about 3500$ and counting......
Clutch, guages, J&S, turbo kit, Intercooler everything.....

Engine management is going to put me up there.

RS2000 · 04-20-2002, 12:46 AM

I've spent close to 13K so far and I think I just blew something in my motor so I'm having a monster engine built. That will probably cost at least another 5K. And I'm still going to need a trans. to hold all that power.

DoctorNick · 04-20-2002, 03:21 AM

about 4k and I am not even installed yet, heck I am not done buying... but one day it will be worth it

2k2 4eat rs-t

Andrew · 04-20-2002, 04:41 AM

i personally dont have much left to do. pistons/rods/ecu are my next upgrade when we open up the engine. then injectors and finishing it up with a built automatic tranny.

XT6Wagon · 04-20-2002, 12:14 PM

It looks like around $6K total right now if I get everything I plan to

Includes STi motor, tranny ECU, etc (bought)

Planned
Toda Flywheel
AP racing clutch
Multiport N20 system
MBC
Air/water IC system
XT6 suspension conversion
17" rims with 215/45R17 tires

tcs007 · 04-20-2002, 04:09 PM

I'm fully prepared to spend upwards of $15,000 on mine by the time its all said and done, but that's a few years away first. I need a house before a turbo.
I'm looking for 300 hp at the wheels daily driven, with close to or over 400 on race gas for special occasions.

Who knows. Maybe by the time I'm ready to do mine, prices will have come down significantly in certain areas.

christoph1371 · 04-22-2002, 12:31 AM

Thankd you guys. I am in the hunt for the ellusive "L". I am debating about 2.5 turboing it or just droping the 2.0 usa ej20.

Andrew · 04-22-2002, 12:57 AM

what about a 2.0 with 2.5 heads or does that not match up right? or is it the other way around, 2.5block with 2.0 heads?

you can always stroke the 2.0, but then again you can always stroke the 2.5

i say use a 2.5 block but use the heads other swapable items from the ej20. nothing like a light car with monster torque.

ac_gohan · 04-22-2002, 02:30 PM

LOL what ever happened to the unbeatable EJ20 Chris? I knew you would be crawling back tot he EJ25's.

Andy

christoph1371 · 04-22-2002, 02:36 PM

there's a local guy that had his engine stroked, but he says that he didn't get much out of it. It might be 2.6l.
