A local shop wants $7000 to do a nice custom setup. What should I expect with this much money involved. He said I will easily hit 12s. I also know that it is going to be on the stock ECU. Is this going to be a problem? Please leave any and all input. TIA

I don't think you really need 7 g's to get into 12's. Just my opinion

bigTom

people do 12's with a bolt on kit like drag or rev-hard... for 7 grand u better be in the 11's imo

find out EXACTLY what they will be putting in and performing on your car. Get a list. It's really too vague to tell if it's worth it right now. $7k is quite a lot, so I'm guessing that they will be dropping the transmission and putting in a clutch, LSD, etc...? Don't proceed until you get a breakdown of what they are putting in!

First off, i was just wondering your oem bodykit is painted red while your car is white? you can buy a new car and turbo it to hit 12s wit 7gs!

Seems high to me, do it yourself, save some $$ go standalone with the extra cash.

They better go giving you a new set of rods, valves, iron sleeves, pistons, and that turbo kit. You can get damn good turbo kits for 3200 and shops should install em for about 500 at most. So that leaves your with 3300 bones to do whatever. Find out what exactly they are doing. Sounds pretty steep to me if its just a turbo kit.

What shop? Its not John Brown is it?

Shops that I know are good and reputable are South Florida Performance-south Miami and TopSpeed-Naples.

Anybody else I wouldn't trust. For 7 grand you should almost hit 11's not just break 12's.

For pistons, chech out http://www.raceeng.com, I believe they are def alot cheaper than $650. As for the VAFC, you can prob find a used one for under $300. Just tryin to save you a bit of money.

With that setup, assuming its a car that weighs less than 2500lbs with you in it and some 24.5x13" slicks, should be no prob. to the 11's.

Thats site doesn't work

The website doesn't work because it included the comma in the link. [url]http://www.raceeng.com/[url].

Most of those are good prices, I guess. I am pretty sure you can get the Vortech FMU for $150 straight from Vortech. You could probably get a new VAFC for ~$300. Might want to upgrade the wastegate to a Tial, since a lot of people have experienced boost creep with the Deltagate.

ForcedAccord

Hell I can sell you a brand new Garrett T3/T4 for $575, screw that $800+ crap.

madslackin

How exactly do you get 2500lbs w/ driver for a 2000 GSR? Stock curb weight is around 2650, plus, say, a 150lb driver. Now you have 2800. Where'd the extra 300lb go?

1fstevo

$300 for V-AFC?? where? Group buys?
Man... I thought Apex-I increased their price or some shops are just giving it out for free...

Trak_Day

Are you going to South FLorida Performance? That is where i am taking my car except i am dropping a bit more money because i am getting the hondadta 3b along with aeromotive fuel pump and LSD, clutch and 3"exhaust...They are very well known and i live in st pete florida and plan to drive my car to miami where they will have it for 3-4 weeks

Suprdave

I think thats a kinda shitty deal...learn to do your own work and save $$$$$$$$$$.

You should just get a damn Drag 3 Kit and a Inline Pro Headgasket and a Hondata 4B and take the other 3 Grand and build a shortblock on the side.

PS: Built Motor can get fucked up with shitty tuning...
