Dreamer: I can't believe your saying 10K... that's definitely getting into TT territory. I'm not saying I can't believe it in a crappy way either. I just don't know much about the pricing on S/C's like this but based on what I have seen in the past I'm kinda shocked you would say a number that high.
This post is getting awfully depressing for me ... I need to see some numbers

Well you have to factor in the custom intake manifold design, this is early design so cost are higher. I could see that maybe in a few years the price slowly coming down, but who knows as I am just speculating. Also, 10k from what I have seen is below TT territory, you might be able to buy a kit from AAM or GTM or others for 10k but that does not mean your car will operate 100%. Many of those kits do not have the extra cooling you will need or other additions you should have, which up the cost.

ya I know what your sayin...that's why I said "territory" (not tryin to be a smart *** either), just saying, I know what ridiculous prices these people are playin OTD on a TT setup. I'm just jealous lol..
I still think 10 is crazy though. I know most people that I have talked with aren't buying S/C's to spend 10K. I thought it was supposed to be a more affordable option to turbocharging.. maybe I'm a little off.. idk

But you are right -- $10k for a TT is the absolute bare minimum.

Prospective buyers should keep in mind, the SC kits for the old version of the VQ in the 350 and the G35 weren't all that cheap, and those cars only had one throttle body, more engine bay room, a less complex valvetrain, and the old kits had lower quality components than these newer ones do.

Bottom line is this just isn't a wallet-friendly car. It's not like a Mustang where the volume is so high a turn-key SC kit runs only $6000, or a CBE only costs $600. We have to shell out some extra dough because we just aren't on that same scale.

10,000 is high 6,000 is low, my guess after looking at the cost of similar parts is 6,995 for the base non-intercooled option 7,500 for the well equiped intercooled race kit and probably 7,995 for the intercooled + warranty kit
If you built this kit in your garage somehow and only paid parts price and spent half a year fabricating you would still need 5grand to buy the components. 1000 manufacturing labor is nothing for the amount of time it takes to make some of those parts just to give you a clue about it I work at a machine shop and we charge $120 an hour for just basic machining boring bar work is over 200 an hour and there is probably a solid 20 hours in one of those kits. Just thank your lucky stars they don't charge you industrial machine rate. Last edited by 1slow370; 01-29-2010 at 10:06 PM. |

Your all wrong, this is California, the economy sucks and sales are down, this will be $199 installed and we get a free trip to Disneyland
