Let us know when you lay out the 30,000 to get that engine on to this continent.

maybe he wants to do a single turbo upgrade?

if so, i would recommend a mac truck turbo.

I hope the shop that is doing your swap has done atleast one before. Otherwise, i will also attempt it for half the cost. I'll have her donr in 2 weeks.

sorry my bad i just could not remember the code the engine i've been thinking about is the RB25DET and you can purchase them for between 2500-5000 US i was just wondering what kind of upgrades i could expect for 8000 cdn i also heard that putting this drive train in would weigh down the car and effect handling in a really bad way is this true? thanks for your help

its a very simple method with boosted motors to get great power out of them
MORE FUEL MORE BOOST MORE AIR LESS LAG

I say upgrade the ECU
nice set of injectors 600cc's or so
good intercooler piping and intercooler to densen the charge
Upgrade your turbo i say ar least a nice GARRETT GT28R ball bearing turbo
nice manifold and exhaust to improve flow
Clutch flywheel plugs wiring cap rotor fuel pump filter regulator boost gauge
Wastegate
Blow-Off valve
Soo many options but its simple in theory the more air more gas more POWER!

People always talk big...

Why don't you get the motor first... and then worry about the upgrade you are going to do... Less talking , and more doing... thats usually how it works..

You don't have to worry upgrading this motor, it can handle more then enough - in other words you don't have enough money to push the motor in stock form to it's limits...

So come back when u have the motor running in your car.

$8000 in upgrades?

Do you even know what is required to get the engine into your car in the first place?

Like someone else said, easiest way to get power out of a turbo car:

Turbo upgrade: A ballbearing t3 would be nice or a t3/to4e...
FMIC
Turbo Manifold upgrade
3 or 4" exaust
Bigger injectors, atleast 850cc
Stand alone engine management...

That should be a good start.

He thinks that this is forza motorsport, that it is so easy to just put in a rb26dett.... lol, it's not just about money.

 
Rep Power: 704

well mark its actually all about money. cause when a shop bends you over on the bill. as they start to pound him with no KY and hes crying that he had some of that slippery stuff so it could stop the pain and.....















then he'll wake up cause its BS and ill bet a c note that nothing gets done like this on his car.
