Wats up yall, as of right now I do not have a car, but I have question.
how much would an all out turbo build cost? (mid 8s-low9s/Fast and Relieable)

So far the full-race turbo kit cost $8,974
Drag suspension plus stroker kit cost $2,500
Built transmission $6000
Built Axle $1,350
total of $18,000
How much would all other misc parts cost?
My goalis , high 900-1000hp
Total budget is $27,000.
I just want to see if this is even remotely possible when I graduate Autotech II/Highschool(i'm gonna stay at my parents house for 2 years to work up the lump sum of cash). Any thoughts or suggestions?

So at best not spending a penny making at least $8.50 an hour working 40 hours a week for 2 years straight? Just to get a measily $27k that isn't enough for your goals?

Between the car and everything else your budget is blown. Not only that but you are half assing it already. You took the time to research the easiest stuff but not the time for anything else. So you figure you would hop on here and hope somebody else would do the math for you? Thats pretty pathetic.

Its been a few years for myself but you are looking at more towards $40-50k for a budget with a 1,000whp goal. A lot of cost in engine machining (head Port and Polished, block work, custom camshafts, ect...) and will GREATLY depend on engine platform chosen. This coupled with the fact that you want fast an reliable, which is the ONLY way to do it.

My suggestion is you have a lot to learn kid. Stay in school and research until your eyes bleed. If you can't comprehend it it's of no use so tack on another $20k for a shop to do it for you HAHA!

Where did you get the number that 1000whp number lol

also
just because you have 1000hp doesnt mean you have a 8 second car. you need seat time and runs to figure out what works for you as a driver.

like the above post says: do your research for real this time and dont pop up like a troll would do and throw out these crazy numbers. i would aim low first then build from there.

To me your prices for your parts is on the high side you would be better off looking around before you jump out the window with buying parts and on other note you do not need to buy a stroker kit to make 900 to 1000 a stock b series crankshaft will be fine. If i was you i would piece together a turbo set up to save money so you can have more money for motor work you would be surprise how much just a built head can cost you and with you total budget you need to step you power goals down

You can get into the 9's with 600-700whp in a light car like a CRX or hatch set up right. There are so many other things you need to consider that cost money when building a 9 second track car. Having a motor and drive line that can make and handle the power is just the start. Now you need to do the chassis, suspension, brakes, roll cage, fuel cell, remote battery with cut off switch, bell housing scatter shield, driver equipment like a 4 point harness, helmet and full fire suite, racing license that you need to have to do that fast. If you plan to race and hit into the 9's plan to spend some money. It is not realistic for the average kid fresh out of high school to start drag racing in the 9's. Start small and work on your skills, get into the 12's and learn in bracket racing.

Haha, ^ you ^ don't drag race much do you haha?

Here this will give you a VERY basic outline for the speeds and times you guys are talking.

All the rules can easily be searched and seen on the NHRA website.

Where the **** do these threads keep coming from? People who have never modified a car in their life beyond taking it to meineke for a cat back install, posting on here that they want to build a fast and reliable 8-9 second drag car lol sure if 8-9 seconds in the 1/8th mile is your goal, thats easy, but in the 1/4 mile? Better get at least 5-10 years of engine building and as well as some other skills under your belt. Mainly driving. No one just goes out and builds a 1000hp honda drag car just like that, theres a very few amount of cars that are over 600hp on this forum, and they have YEARS of experience.

I have not built any 9-8 second cars but I do drag race a little at the local track and do bracket racing events. I am and ok drag racer never finished first but never last. I have built many high whp motors though. I know there is a lot more rules and safety equipment for going past the 9's but I did not want to make a book out of my post.

I'm gonna be real here, seeing it's gonna cost 40-50k is extremely discouraging(mid8-low9 car). i'm gonna set my goal down to 660hp. I know I sound like a jerk/lazy bastard but I honestly want to know the range of the total cost of that goal. The full-race kit that delivers that power cost $6,185. I know this is pissing people of but bear with me please.

I REALLY want to do this but if it still cost a god awful amount of money even at that power i'm calling it quits. Can you give me some estimates?

Where are you getting these "kits" from, there is no kit that deliver's 660hp out of the box.

There are different turbo charger options, one of them offering 660hp.

Spawne32

UP to 660hp, there are about 100 different factors that could determine why that would never even come close to 660hp. Not to mention that number is considered the MAXIMUM of what the turbo can output pushing its very limit.

Your alot better off Building your own Custom Turbo Kit in my opinion
I'm $16,000+ into my first Build/first Car>

since your looking at a kit anyway...

Two questions, how much more money are you going to spend till it's completed and how in the world do you make a custom turbo kit? Tell me everything. I'de be happy with a 10.50 car.
You just may be my saving grace!

ThE HeLLRaZoR

You'd be better off buying an Ebay Kit...

OneBadTurboCRV

Only $16k into the build you posted? I call BS on that one. Why lie to this kid?

No?

I was shocked when I saw the prices! You and ThE HeLLRaZoR sealed the deal... I'm sticking to an Integra!

Let us stop the nonsense going on here, everyone just be quite already...

OP - Just read EVERY single link and post in this FAQ. Once you have done this THEN and only then should you ask anymore questions:

You could do some awesome **** with the kinda budget your talking about, assuming you have that on hand already but 8's and 9's? No, thats something you need to be prepared for, like replacing parts that cost thousands every other weekend. Thats why very few people do it. The one's that do are sponsored race teams that do it for a living.

OneBadTurboCRV

Asking for Sponsorships are for people who shouldn't be racing in the first place...

It is one thing to have them beg you to put their logo on your car, and a completely different one for you to beg them.

ThE HeLLRaZoR

I built the thing myself with some assistance from my Uncle. Doing stuff yourself definatly saves $$$$. I'm no more then $20,000 in total!
