Jiven...
Its not magic... Like ive mentionned a Million times before.. im getting most of the parts (the bulk of the stuff) for 1400 dollars. I find its safe to say 2600 will cover the rest of the parts. From what ive priced, i can get it done. ill be good..
Look at this.
I already have my water pump, timing kit, belts, hoses. (only spent 250)
For the purposes of this project ive already priced this stuff out:
1400 Pistons, rods turbo, piping, mount, blowoff, injectors, manifolds, pressure regulator
500 Machine work (head adjustment, Crank shaving)
400 Gaskets and seals(top to bottom)
100 Intake valves (used)
200 Piston Rings
200 Bearing Kit(engine)
950 Clutch Kit(With bearings bolts Flywheel Plate cylinder)
100 Motor Mounts
Total: 3850
Ill admit i didnt budget the exhaust system which will be 500 dollars custom made (already priced it) and the management system jg was talking bout but hey add another 500 for that and we're at 4850 Not too far off.
like i said as well... i never intended on changing the tranny but if i absolutely have to i found a good one for 400 dollars, Suspension is MINT in my car. Brakes are Very good as well.
My budget was for the ENGINE which i am on track for ... even if i go to 5g's who cares... 6g's Still its ONLY MONEY and its alot of fun... would you be upset at spending even 6g's and having the car you wanted? Im not wasting anyones time..cause im not declining your input or ideas... im taking them harnessing them and readjusting my budget accordingly. I think you guys are just seeing the word PORSCHE and seeing $$$... be clever about it .... source the parts out and find some one who can get them at a better price than where ever youre pricing. Like buying a computer at BEST BUY.... you can get one with the same parts and even better quality at another store... just cause your shops have big names doesnt mean theyre the ONLY store to shop... bigger name = bigger price.... source things out.
If you do the math .. with the exhaust that i was getting anyways 4350.00. The only thing that really put me over my budget was the management system.... but ive readjusted for that...
This is not an impossibility... and is not as BIG as you think. it may seem scary...but its only mechanics, time and patience.
