project gti killer

[Ear Rak]

so after talkin to my buddy for a while, who owns a gti vr6 with a turbo kit, we've decided to set up a little grudge match. over the summer the idea is to do as much to your car as possible with out letting the other know. on the last day of summer we're doing a heads up hoods shut race for bragging rights (and a little money). So basically i need to start some mods today. Lets hear some ideas. I'm guessing he'll be running mid 12's by summers end if not faster. Whats the cheapest way i can beat this?

so far my ideas are:
tko 500
4.10 gear
vt stage II cams
ported heads
tune
cold air intake/tb/plenum
full exhaust (LT's back)
315 bfg dr's
upper and lower c-arms
lighten the load abit.

blower is out of the question as i probably wont have 3500 bucks at once.

i'm also lookin at 2 03/04 cobra motors on ebay going for cheap but thats a pipe dream.

Lets hear some suggestions.

That'll do it. Thats ALOT of $ though. You could always just slap a 100 shot on it and fuck him up all day long. Mid 12s wont b a problem.

 

[batman]

i vote for the nitrous and a gear

 

[WhtSuperStang]

what u have listed + nitrous

 

[Ear Rak]

as cool as nitrous is...i dont it mixes well with 66k mile motors

Yes it does. 66k is not that much milage man. As long as your engine wasn't fugged up in that 66k miles. I say do the bolt-ons, do the cams and headwork if you can afford it and the nitrous to boot. Put that thing into the 11's for good measure. :headbang:


You can find used dry kits for $150 all day long and also find used wetkits for $250 on somewhat regular occassion on corral or modularfords. Cheap as all hell and give you a hell of allot more bang for your buck for what you need. If yer skeered then run a 50-75 shot.

66k miles isnt much at all. It'll run forever on 100 shot. Plus based on the mods you had planned, it looksl ike you were going to spend a shitload of money building the engine anyway. This way you can run 12s for cheap meanwhile saving the money and then doing the engine right when you do tear into it: Forged pistons, crank, rods.

Yeah, good idea. Leave the heads/cams alone. That will save you $2,500-$3,500 depending on who you were getting the heads from. Take that money and buy someones stock 03/04 Cobra shortblock, run a simple standalone return fuel system for the wetshot of nitrous. And then pill that bitch to a 150-200 shot on a built fuel system and engine to support it. If done correctly you can safely get deep into the 11's with a minimal amount of money. It will take some bargain shopping and wrenching on your part though.

i'd be getting the heads done for free at work. not buying re-worked cores

i can also get comp cams at cost through work as well.

 

[Fast99Snake]

hey, u can get a deal on heads and cams,
you wanna make some money and get me a deal, I'd love to do ported heads this summer but its a bit expensive :biggthump

 

[Maniak]

i think you should shoot for tens for good measure :lmao:


i say do the heads, cam, all the bolt ons and some weight reduction. dont forget some suspension parts or you wont be able to put that power to the ground!

 

[Bigturbonotch]

100 wet shot and suspension work with some cams will do it.

 

[suzukiracer1604]

how about selling that POS and getting a F-Body, then put a big cam in it and a gear and your all set ahahahahha just playin man


go for a small shot of nitrous, heads, cam, and gear

 

[The Pun]

Get a job you punk....

 

[Bigturbonotch]

yeah seriously that should be your first mod: a job

 

[hj16]

Do you have a 4R70W in that thing?

If so...fuck your list

This is the list:
PI3400 Stall
315 BFGs
4.10s
100shot
CAI
Tune...including a bunch of Tranny adjusments

[FirstPlaceOils]

Hey ricer, its called nitrous. Not nos...

Jizzmopper does not count...

 

[Ear Rak]

Jizzmopper does not count...

but but you promised to pay me

 

[batman]

Jizzmopper does not count...

lol

 

[01GTvert]

You're gonna need at least a 100 shot and a gear. Those turbo'd VDubs don't need a lot of HP to become quite fast.

 

[mikev08826]

Cams, NOS, LT's, take off the cats, slicks and skinnies should get you there.


I wouldn't go too many passes like that though.
