so with all this.. motor build, turbo kit and everything how much have you spent?
I don't know, exactly. Too hard to keep track. Let's just say a lot. Most of the expenses on the car were from long before the car ever showed up at KO Racing, and I've replaced many things along the way, increasing the expense quite a bit. Also, excluding the latest turbo setup, exhaust, tuning, and some of the detail work, most of the work was done by me. I think if you were to sit down and do everything right the first time, and maybe add a little more to the fuel system then I did, you could easly spend $10,000-$20,000+ no problem.
A rough breakdown on what parts could cost someone with a similar setup as me, the breakdown would look something like this:
GT35r Streetbrawler with blue WG
$3000
Hydra Nemisis:
$1500 plus tuning
Intake Manifold with mustang throttlebody
$800
Exhaust:
$800
Oil filter relocation kit + hardware + oil cooler
$500
Electronic boost controller
$400-$500
BOV
$200-$300
FMIC setup:
$1000
Lightweight flywheel plus ACT clutch kit:
$700
Fully built 2.2 liter stoker (I really don't feel like breaking down the price of this)
$3000-$5000
This doesn't include any of the basic stuff needed, such as fuel system (injectors, AN fitting, SS line, modified side feed or aftermarket top feed fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator, etc...) or electrical, and there are always expenses for the car that are not easy to keep track of (such as various plumbing fittings/hoses). But let me tell you, the little stuff adds up quickly!
If you were to have KO Racing do everything for you, I really have no clue how much it would cost, as I don't work for KO. You'd need to contact Kris for that. What I can say though is that he will do a better job then 99.999% of the do-it-yourselfer's out there can do, including myself. Kris is not one to take shortcuts, he has a very good attention to detail, is a full fledged mechanical engineer, and everything I've ever seen him work on has turned to gold. What else can I say. I think Kris does great work.
