Looking at buying a truck turbo built into a drag turbo, just been reco,
.96 comp 1.27 exhaust. My car is pretty much going to be a show/drag, powerglide, RB30/25 head 500rwkw. I know its stupid over board but its cheap and looks insane ..... will it spool, any idea how long ? thoughs ??
you want 500kw and your scrimping already.
the turbo is the single most important factor in making big power,i would buy the best turbo i could afford if i was you
very smart idea ..... thanks i can handle 4500-5000 rpm wonder what it will be like on the street..... haha ill loose every bloody race waiting for it to spool

How is this "skimping" its a built turbo for drag application. Its a huge ****er... hopefully a bit of a dyno queen as well. Id be happy to put the $2k i save into rods / pistons ....
didnt say it was, but lets look at it like this. stock crank, forged rods, pistons, twin cam head = 500kw engine already have twin 044, wolf 500V, will need injectors, manifold, cooler. Far as im concerned $2k makes a bloody good dint.
Anyone want to elabarate on what else would be needed ? (engine only)

Lol man seriously, it costs about double what it does on paper. For a genuine 500rwkw i hope you are budgeting at least 20k on the engine side of things...
Bottom end = 5-10k (depending on how long you want it to last for)
Top end = 3.5k (with porting, cams, head gasket and studs)
Manifold = 1k
Turbo = 2500-3500
Gate = 1000-1500
Dump and 3.5+in exhaust = 1500-2k
Intake, oil and water lines, gaskets, fitting etc for hot side = 500
Intake manifold = 1k
Intercooler = 200-1k
Intercooler piping = 400-1500
ECU, wiring and tuning = 2500 min
Ignition = 500 min
That's well over 20k and that doesn't even nearly cover the motor yet, we're talking Machining, bearings, seals, belts, wiring etc, then there is the installation and putting the entire thing together, you'd be laughing if the motor alone (no gearbox no diff etc etc) came in at only 20k!

2C well noted,
Yer i know what your saying and your right, rule 1, what ever u expect to pay, double it. Was expecting about that. This was more on if the turbo would work. I know its big but ive seen GT55's on supras in the states. I know there just dyno queens or drag cars but ......

How big are the wheels?
.96 and 1.27 don't mean a lot without knowing the wheel sizes.

Hey, I'll throw a $1000 towards your cause if you give me that R33 5 speed box when it comes out
He will save alot in labour (assembly) guys, hes an ex-mechanic.

We need more posts like this, theres so many dreamers out there that expect big power and piss and moan when they hear how much it costs. Theres no such thing as cheap when it comes to building a reliable fast car.
Word of advice to people out there, know what you want BEFORE you even think about modifying your car, something as simple as bolting on a turbo and upping the boost can spark a chain of events the will lead to you spending 10x more then your ever expected to pay.
I garantee 80% of the people that build monster cars did so because their first motor went pop after their first half ass attempt at modifications and they said "**** it, might as well go full enchalada now"
