Lol you guys are funny. Yes i can. The question i have is why don't you be a little more optimistic and help me find out any info i may need for the build? And just enjoy the build.

I know what i want and roughly what its gonna take financially. Its the set up I'm working on. I know i have a good base going that will handle what i want the car to do.

I'm really starting to not like you. I know its out there what do you think I'm doin here? I posted my thread and as i receive HELPFUL information i research it and research what others are doin and have done. You however seam to be one of those guys who has something to say on EVERY thread and very little of what you say is actually useful. Lol as a matter of fact everything you have said to me has been discouraging and somewhat demeaning. I don't appreciate it. You my friend are a cyber bully!

Yup. I seem to have an opinion for everything. There's plenty of other people around to play cheerleader for you and boost up your ego. Not me. I'm just a stone cold realist. Do I care if you like me? Not in the least.

But in the end? Public forum.

YOU my friend, are NOT researching by posting this. Opinion polls and pats on the back are not research. You don't have anything even REMOTELY resembling a build here.

The blueprint for making the power you want already is out there. You just don't seem to want to look for it and would rather have it spoonfed to you. You don't want to be spoonfed this info and frankly, for a first project I think you're in waaaaaaay over your head. But if you want I can link you to a few high power build threads you probably should have read before you ever posted up a single question.

I could understand if you even had a solid parts list but you don't even have that. Just dreams of beating dear old dad's Mustang. Doesn't sound like a plan. Sounds juvenile to me.

Lol i do have a sell parts list as to what i can afford right now and over the next month. If you would like ill break it all down and list part numbers for you hoss. And yes i want to out run dads shelby, but its a goal. And every build starts with a goal. I have been on multiple countless threads reading and double checking things with is why i come back here and post what I'm thinking for input from others. Not to be haggled by some shmuck who surely is more knowledgeable, yet unwilling to share anymore then doubt and pitiful jabs. Very unwelcoming sir. Especially towards a nooby to the forum. Ill appreciate it if you keep your childish jobs to your self. Thank you and good day sir.

Parts list. That's USUALLY what people post up when they START a build thread. And pretty much in the very first post. Kinda lets people know if they're going in the right direction. Two pages into it and you don't even know what turbo you're going to run? That's the FIRST thing you should have decided on.

Now if you want to resort to juvenile name callin' I'm all game and we can get your thread locked quick fast and in a hurry.

I'm all about getting people to think for themselves and not have to be at the mercy of someone having to nod or shake their heads at every step of a process. If you're the latter type then good luck to you.

I don't have a problem thinking for my self. But being my first turbo motor. NOR MY FIRST MOTOR!!! I am unsure of what's what. Good products bad and likewise. I don't care about locking the thread ill start another. Or go to another forum there all over.
Yes I'm unsure of my turbo. Yes I'm unsure about what investor size i need and what's overkill. I don't really have a budget persay it just takes me a little time to get the money to do things.

If my order of operations is off then yea id like to know. I figured if i get my top and bottom end right first and able to handle what i want then i can go from there

Turbo first. Build around it and your power goals. Work your way down to everything else. Do it your way and you'll be back asking if what you've built will make your goal when you should have known that before you buy the first part.

I know I want put a turbo on this car till i get the AEM stand alone ECU. I want to do this car right but its on its last leg and i need it to get to work that's why im focusing on building my base. Head rods prisons bearings. Then ill get my ecu. And so on.

backwards. But if that's your path then so be it. I can understand needing transportation but I'd just buy a spare block and build it on the side.

II thought about that........and would do that if it weren't giving me issues now. Its burning oil and dies for eh 15 min and then it will start again and its fine......unless i get on it a little then it starts acting up again.

A thought. Buy a beater engine cheap and swap it. Build the one you have on the side. Always good to have a backup.

They'll handle a lot more then that. Current power numbers in sig with E85 and someone else here made 720whp on Q16.

I'll be more than happy to help you and share my knowledge with you

My comment wasn't meant to be snide, but sincere, a 600hp fwd car will have so ,much torque steer and traction issues that you could injure yourself or others, or even worse.?. That's jwt I asked the quesrion

I do appreciate it man. That's actually what i was just looking at was suspension parts. I'm trying to put a total cost together for this build to get it to the track.

Do you have E85 where your at? Or even better E98? Or were you planning on race gas? After you figure that out then you can piece together your fuel delivery system as you know...e85 will take a lot bigger injectors and additional fuel pumps for 600 HP depending on what you go with. You will probably want ID2000 injectors, that's what I was told for my build anyway.

Maybe it is not. Imagine that having gone through some good old stick Moab mud, or any mud for that matter. As it gets in the honeycomb, it gets stuck, makes the wheel out of balance and viola, your ride sucks. This 'new' wheel has been around for years now and there are reasons it is not gaining momentum. It is not better than what we are using.

I can take a piece of cardboard and mount it to a Hummer, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

So, the point is well taken. Don't reinvent the wheel. People have been building Hondas for decades now. The interwebs will supply you with all you need to meet your objective except the cash, unless you run an online business. Don't throw parts at your car. If you want it to go 10's you are going to need some planning or you will need to do what others have to achieve it.

Id2000's? Really that big? But that's e85 right? I want options on fuel. I want to be able to be on pump gas but still be able to run race gas at the track or on cruises. Yea we have e85 here. Idk much about it tho. I know I'm going with a walboro s400 pump and ill run a double pump system if i need to with secondary rail and injectors. Money isn't the much of an issue. But the more it cost me the longer it will take. I know ill have at the least$6000 in the motor when I'm done. Which will take about 6-7 months. I think.

I've also decided to put the head and new internals in my stock block and leave it so i don't have to worry about it breaking. While i save for a forged sleeve eagle block and ill transfer everything to the eagle block and build it and drop it in.

Yeah that's E85...I think that's what I'm going to do though, have two maps, one for pump gas another for race fuel. Im looking for inbetween 600-700 with my setup (on race fuel). But I think I'll just need ID1000's, (not 100% sure) and then the S400 or Walbro 340 alone should be enough. Not even sure if you honestly need2 upgrade the lines and rail unless your over 700HP. I'm not going to unless tuning proves otherwise.

Oh ya and you need to sleeve your block. Benson sleeves are the way to go, that's where my block is at right now Golden Eagle is over priced and Darton Sleeves can drop.

My guy said he can find golden eagle blocks for 1500 that's not bad i didn't think. Not for a block i know will be good for 1000whp should it ever get that crazy. I highly doubt it, but i rather be safe and use a block for half it potential.
