$15,000 in performance parts what would you get?

[enollava]

Buy a 6G74 and build it up for boost. Get a TD05 kit with 20G turbos. Beef up the transmission. That should take up your 15K to spend. If I had 15K thats where I would look into spending it.

IMO, DR-800's, fuel system, intake, injectors, Pampena 3.1L shortblock, clutch, management, wheels, tires, body kit, and paint.

$15k will get eaten up VERY quickly when leaving TD04/05 Turbos. Especially since anything above that horsepower will likely require an engine build and some trans/tcase upgrades. I know having a DR800 car. Could be done if you're doing all your own work (like I did). Its more than just turbos and what everyone seems to make it out to be, fuel, fuel control, gauges, wb, injectors, misc electronics, the list of little things goes on and on. Not to mention how quickly it adds up.

^ good point. that stuff is difficult to budget too

well i built my engine for right about 11k and its fully built with supporting mods and electronics, injectors and everything.

if i had 15k i would make a 6g74 block with a 6g75 crank. i would get some vr4 heads and port/polish the piss out of them along with cams, bigger valves etc. i would wind up with a 3.7 - 3.9L with either big 16g's or 20g's. the drivetrain can be upgraded later (cfds, braces, etc etc) obviously you would need a clutch. but i would just build a monster engine then later (during break in period... aka no launching or really giving it hell) i would try and upgrade any weak points.

but thats just me. i look at these cars differently than most. i think it would be fun to have 25-26psi with the spool time of 16t's personally. not to mention a butt load more power

Food for thought .. 15k will get you a top notch 750 build minus wheels, tires, drivetrain, tranny, and engine work .. Which you will really need to do if you plan on utilizing the turbos !!!

And what is your built set up that cost 11k? Just wondering because the jump from 72 to 74 is not "a few" changes. Once you change turbos, you're changing manifolds gotta factor in those.Gotta buy a new block and crank, various parts don't just bolt on from your motor so if you dont get a complete engine you have to source those out too. Ported and polished heads like the DR ones can cost in the $3k range (new of course). I'm not saying it cant be done, but a 74 build is pricey, especially with the machine work and what not.

6g74 + dr750 + supporting mods + supercar engineering LSD + AEM EMS + coilovers =raep

[Polygon]

I'm not quite sure, but here's what I am sure about.

25 Spline 5-Speed from Kormex
25 Speed T-Case from Kormex
SCE Torsen Center Diff
Quaife Front LSD
Coil-Overs
Stoptech BBK
IPS Quad Tip Exhaust
Re-Paint
Finish The Interior

I don't think $15 would cover that. I would be over by the time I hit the paint I think. But hey, then all I'd have left is the engine.

Wait..what? You are saying he's going to spend 15k on a dr750 build, but he'll have to spend more for wheels, tires, drivetrain, tranny, and engine work?






OP, if I were you, save your money or "invest" it. 15k is a lot to be dropping into a car that is so old and the 15k in mods/looks is more likely to depreciate so fast you'll going to regret it. That's just my opinion. Find a nice, strong, good dividend stock and put it in that. Or do a mutual fund.
