So far the budget isn't working out too bad...
TVS with 3 pulleys $1200
Adapter plate $300
M62 for mockup $80
Alt Relocation $60
Sold my GenV and pulleys/MPS for $700
So far this has cost me $940. I'm pretty confident that I wont need a whole lot more as there isn't much left to do.
Ok M62 not needed minus 80 bucks.
1200 TVS + 300 Adapter + 60 Alt = 1560
Most people dont have a Gen5 and pullies to subtract from the cost as most cars unless already a Gen5 wont be able to recoupe those costs.
Have you seen what Gen5's go for in the FS threads? Try getting 700 for one again with pullies GL with that!
Ok so were back to $1560 I took out the Mock up cost of the M62 as you stated it wasnt needed ok I'll give you that.
Now wheres the cost of your cam? ZZP sells them for $325
You stated your using 60 lb injectors now wheres that cost? ZZP sells them for $250
Racetronix Fuel Pump at least say $100
Got headers? Add at least another $200ish for SD's
Still gonna need gaskets for cam install, wheres the cost of pullies, still going to need springs for that cam, wheres the cost for all these required to duplicate your build??
So lets recap
$1200 TVS + $300 Adapter + $60 alt relocate + $325 XP cam + $250 60# injectors $100 Fuel Pump + $200 Headers = Grand Total $2435!
Obviously I did not add in gaskets, springs, and pulley costs
Geee All of a sudden a turbo kit doesnt seem so damn expensive does it?
By the way a Z3 kit from ZZP costs $2300
I once got a cookie for free too so selling parts to deduct from the build makes ZERO sense, considering most people dont even have a Gen5 to start with..............
Yep I still smell bullsh1t
