That's actually a pretty good example of the difference between NA and FI. That's a great ET, but the trap speeds just aren't there.

Remember that our bolt ons are expensive as is but factor it all in. Exhaust for $1-1.5kk, intake for $600, LTH or shorty/test pipe combo average of about $1k, LSD $1-1.5k, Gears for $800, install of the gears $400-1k, tune with uprev $800, Clutch and Flywheel with upgraded CSC $1k, Slicks and wheels $1000, and I'm sure I'm missing stuff.

According to that post.....only thing out of the ordinary from most peoples list is the gears. I'd hardly say close to $10k DEpointFive0

And you don't have headers. Which is almost $1000 of labor right there

Not bad at all

Btw, since it's early morning, I screwed the math hard, I forgot the argument of doing the MHI TT kit vs NA, people say it's $5k for it vs the $5k of NA mods you'd do anyways... (Which is false)... It's closer to $7-10k vs $4-5k depending on NA mods

My bad, disregard

The clutches take a beating but as for gears......Makes a WORLD of difference in acceleration. I had issues with mine as of course, I'm in Hawaii where I am super limited to who I can take things to and who will actually do it correctly. They made it right at the end for the original price I was quoted but it took a good 2 months to finally get it, 2 sets of gears, and 2 sets of seals..... I removed and installed the diff probably 6 times. Takes me less then an hour to drop it out and less then an hour and a half to swap between my 2 diffs lol.

The MHI kit is $6k at group buy pricing....Not includings all your gauges, the tune, and all the miscellaneous extras no one ever knows about until you actually build a turbo car lol. I'd say closer to the $10k mark when youre done and ready to roll.

my $20k estimate was for the MHI kit, and stg 4 7AT tranny, cooling mods (oil/tranny), and labor......then tack on shipping it to the place who gave me the estimate lol

yea we discussed all this before sir lol

Chuck33079 · 07-23-2013, 02:09 PM

Having to do the AT mods pretty much makes it cost prohibitive. It's not bad at all for the MT guys. The cost/HP works out pretty well when all you have to do is buy a turbo kit and a clutch.
