What your engine will cost?

Extra NA horses do cost more than extra turbo horses. Especially extra pushrod horses.

The fee for passage:

Engine itself: $0 (included with the car, pre-ruined)
New B20F cylinder head: $250
37mm Exhaust valves: $150
Head resurface and valve installation: $300
Redline DCOE manifold: $120
FAJS 45mm DCOE carbs: $500
VV91 cam: $190 (we're not going to include the other two cams I bought)
Iske Lifters: $250 (bought sixteen by mistake)
Iske Pushrods: $150
Steel timing gear set: $200 (doesn't include the aluminum one I borked)
0.30 over pistons and rings: $250
Water pump: $50
Alternator: $250

I still need to get the head machined again for the bigger valve springs, and need to get the block bored out. I also have basically no linkage for my carbs...

Total:

I'm too scared to calculate.

I think it's up there for an expensive and overcomplicated 300 whp turbo engine on this board I think.

Glad you said it first

Yeah, I think we're good here.

I have multiple drawers of my toolbox filled with AN fittings, then about 30ft of high pressure Aeroquip hose as well. *shudder*

To herby answer your question, and to answer to myself how far I went down the rabbit hole thusfar, I took an hour this afternoon to get it figured out. Below the lists of parts that you'd need to get to this point, assuming you manage to get lucky with a parted out turbo 945 like I did:-P These parts were slowly collected over a couple of years, to be able to have some savings in getting a bunch of these at a lower than new price.

Phew this is a scary thread! Am buying a B230FT powered wagon that I think needs head work, and not sliding down the path of crazy upgrades looks hard!
 
Well I?m building one on the cheap.
$20 531 head with rotted #4 port. Already bored the port and sleeved it. $48 v8 valve springs. Was going to oversized the valves but budget dictates that doesn?t happen. Just gonna deshroud them and cut back the valves for now.
$200 Chinese H beams.
Trying to score a deal on head studs if anyone has anything. Going MLS head gasket and have access to machines so will deck it to make sure it?s smooth. Got a used gt37 knockoff in known good condition for $100. Gonna hog out the factory exhaust manifold. Keeping the old turbo pistons and rings. Loose is fast. Got a VX3 cam for $70. (I know it?s not optimal)
Looking as a speedyefi ecu that a guy is selling new with a harness for $300. Gonna try and beat him down to $250. I got a set of 1600cc whatever brand of injectors for $80. What could go wrong. Building an intake out of shop scraps. I made a flange for a 70mm mustang throttle body and I can probably get the throttle body for $10.
Junk yard ethanol sensor and pigtail for $15
Set of junk yard GM LS coils for $20
I figure $200 for all the gaskets
I?m gonna try and push the Boost to ~40 psi on E85.
Not sure what trans I?ll use yet.
With the $2000 budget I may just try and beef up the auto for now
Gotta try and score a deal on an 8.8
 
In $AUD:

Stock '91 B230 engine $0
2nd hand 'A' cam $50
2nd hand Evo TD05HRA-16G6-9.8T and twin scroll manifold $150
New B230 exhaust flange $100
New 3" stainless exhaust components $400
New Golf GTI intercooler $0 ($120 but got full refund from ebay because it didn't match picture)
New I/C pipes $20
2nd hand RX7 550cc injectors $60
New VL Turbo external fuel pump $100
New Manual boost controller $40
2nd hand EMS Stinger standalone ECU $0 (gift from a friend but they're like $200 on ebay/gumtree)

So just under $1,000 AUD all-in



I really tried to do it all on the cheap without sacrificing reliability, the only let downs at the moment are the stock AW70 gearbox and the ECU, which is tunable but the software is really ****.

I haven't even begun to build anything but all the parts and head work so far has added up to a bit over 3k US. Just the 531 head work alone was about 2k of that. :spin:
 
80k b21f - $200
efi head - free
microsquirt & harness - $450
90+ manifold - $100
ebay turbo - free
atp wastegate - $170
ipd cam - gift
injectors - $150
misc sensors and throttle body - $100
do88 intercooler - $600? but traded for parts

and that's the recipe for like 240 laggy horsepower.
 
Ms /harness 600
Header and turbo 600
Bigger turbo 200
Intake tb 200
Ipd turbo cam 150
Adjustable cam gear 50
Nuke fuel rail 100

Mechman 240 amp alternator 350
Dw300 fuel pump 100
Electric fan 50
Treadstone intercooler 500
Bov 50
Piping/couplers 150$
Aem Ebc 300
Aem O2 gauge sensor 170
Ls coils 50
Junkyard aw71 200
Borla muffler 100
Misc pipe /gaskets/wiring 150

4430..and I also have a million fittings left over

Someone should do a suspension thread cost

This could get ugly I'll try and do this in USD

Bought Hockeys engine-
2.5L crank
John V rods and pistons
Heebspeed ported penta 16V head
electric water pump
-$3000 shipped.

Block was suspect

New block, machining, bearings, gaskets, cometic gasket , frost plug retainers ~$750

KL racing stage 2 cams- ~$300
STS cam gears- $300
Timing belt, idler/tensioner- ~$100

NIW intake manifold with fuel rail - $750
- Modified manifold for electronic throttle body- free

NIW twin scroll exhaust manifold with two Tial waste gates and some other exhaust bits - ~$2000

GT3076 $800 - Stolen . To be replaced with a knock off around $600

Group-A intercooler - $400
Ron Davis Rad and cooling fan- included with a car I bought "free".

Walbro 450- $150

I'm sure I've forgotten things in this list. Scary. That doesn't account for transmission, suspension, brakes. Damn. I'm not going to total this up. But it is a hobby and provides fun.

Still have a MaxxECU to order and the replacement turbo. That, plus a Kaplenkhe transmission adapter, and I'm pretty well ready to get it on the road (and decide a direction for gauges)
