I need a ballpark figure

[SexyStang1994]

Hey everyone,

It's been a while since I've posted haha. I miss stangnet!

Anways, I want to do a turbo setup for my stang. I want to use a dart block and I'm not sure what brand/size turbo yet.

What is a ballpark figure for this setup?


I'm addicted to the show PINKS!

12k

You'll EASILY spend >$12K on a dart block based turbo buildup. The turbo kit and dart shortblock alone will account for >$10k if not more. Add to that the fuel system, tuning requirements, etc and you'll quickly surpass $12K.

Keep going... I'm at 14k right now on a 354 N/A build with a stock block! The trans and rear are going to need swapped out, either now or after you break it,your going to need a good cooling system,not to mention a good ignition system, then you have to get all that power to the ground with new uppers,lowers, subframe connecters,a decent set of drag radials. Then you still have all the gauges,any exaust changes, maybe a front K member to get it all to fit... the list just keeps going. Every time you think your getting close to done, somthing else pops up. If I didn't have 17k-20k to spend I'd go a different way.

All the down time your car is going to have to get this all done and back on the road est. cost - LOOOOOONG TIME

Est. total cost of build to do it right: up to $22,500+

Good luck,

Will
