As suggested above, you should try to find all your own parts and save some money as much as you can. Use eBay to find all those cheap copy fuel pumps, plenums and exhaust manifolds.

That way they can charge you the time the job takes, plus the time to tidy up or repair the cheap part, charge you to replace the part when it fails and charge you all the labour again to fix it.

You'll save heaps.

Do it once, do it right !

It will cost you but it will be done properly.

yeh no that's not goin to happen build it proply the 1st time.

Excellent to hear.

If you find cheaper prices for parts they are offering, maybe ask them if they'll match it.

I don't doubt the parts list will be appropriate for the power you want to make but there are a lot of things involved in a build like that. Do you really need that plenum?

Do they do all their own engines or are the built somewhere else? What kind of warranty do they offer on their work (inc the engine) if any at all.

What kind of gaurantee do they give that you'll make the quoted power. It's a lot of money to spend only to fall short of your goal

They recently did a nitto rb32 build for a customer with an r34 gtr and oh my God so so much power..best part was customer had unlimited budget so they were able to do things properly.. Car drives like stock but when you floor it, destroys the road under it haha.

I thought you had a HTA3586?, anyways cams are to big for a start... looks like

a lot of money for f**kall gain..you seem to like to spend money for no apparent reason(and no i am not having a go at you

just having cars and mates with similair setups..thats total and utter overkill for the turbos you want, K.I.S.S, is what you want to do

quality parts that will do the job asked with overdoing/overkill them...you will spend twice as much for no reason or reliability..

You REALLY need to decide what you want before you start...

Just a quick one....I was reading through the list again and noticed you are only using 1000cc injectors and a pump that flows 400 L/min @ 60psi.

That pump will just scrape in at 650hp at the wheels on E85 so you should be ok for flow there but the injectors are really only good for 550hp on E85 so maybe you should ask them about 1600cc or 2000cc injectors instead?.

You can just bump the rail pressure up to make the injectors flow more but the pump will then flow less and it brings it closer to your 450kw margin. Just some food for thought anyway

to be honest I also thought they where on the smaller side if and when I Desideed to go E85 so yes bigger injectors I will get Edited by MRHD66

Honestly....I would develop a fantastic relationship with a workshop and get them to build the thing. Price sounds about right but its the things you can't put a dollar value to that are important. You take $1000 off the price somehow and eventually you will be paying $5000 back to them or someone else.

to be honest I also thought they where on the smaller side if and when I Desideed to go E85 so yes bigger injectors I will get

If and when? You're going to make 600hp at the wheels on 98? I applaud your courage

Can be done. Much safer on E85. The cubes should help but still.....

lol, so glad I'm not in the automotive industry anymore. People think you're ripping them off if you charge them for the time you spend sourcing parts. Then they say you did a shit job when the parts they supply that you've never used turn to shit, assuming they even give you everything you need. They also expect you to take up the warranty with the companies they bought the parts from :thumbsup:

    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
    • I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators. 
    • At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!
    • Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.
    • In that case it is probably stock. It lives in the navigator side footwell behind the plastic trim just in front of the a pillar.
