cost of putting together a motor
 

Just running through a few things, looking my 'parts list' over before I start buying ----, does this look about right? Plan is to build a D16Z6 with the vitara/rod combo shoot for 350-400hp. Not doing another HF manifold/sidemount set-up.

block 50
FJ rebuild kit 300
FJ rods 322
engine cleaning/honing/etc 150
Manifold 400
turbo 400
WG 100
oil line 85
intercooler 100
bov 85
down pipe 100
exhaust 150
clutch 200
cam gear 100
misc ---- 200

not gonna do this without putting in a LSD
300+ install fees

total, I am looking at about $3000-
this is buying new stuff, and rounded off prices. Of course a few things could change here and there, but is this a rough estimate for a GOOD build with a new motor?

Yes it's good. Spend a little bit more on the clutch, say at least $250

+1

Also, id avoid the cdm wastegates, ive seen nothing but fail from them. Find a good used one for the win, if you wernt planning that already.
I found a sweet old school turbonetics delta gate for $70. :6

yeah, I might have to rethink this option. :-\

you mean the deltacreep? you're a ------- retard. i've used a bunch of the ebay wastegates, they work fine. just take them apart and make sure they are together correctly, just like EVERY other china part.

Lets not get into the china debate ----. Everything in this ------- country with the exception of beer is made in china.

Ive had the exact opposite experience from what you just stated. To each their own I suppose.

putting it together yourself?
