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?

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.

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