No porn...thats how gratefull you are?
Anyways, I started making a little list of parts and costs (in euro's):
B18c conversion ???
Intake:
J's Racing copy 150
Custom airbox/CAI 30
Intake manifold 300
Throttlebody 300
Exhaust:
Hytech Replica 300
Decat 50
Catback 400
Gearbox:
S80 500
A good tune 250
+

2280
Let me go through my list.
B18c conversion: it totally depends on the engine that will be in the EK9 I buy. If it has average mileage, I'll probably take it out and sell it here. If it has low mileage I might just buy other internals and use the rest of the engine for it.
Intake manifold: probably a Blox. It's a Skunk2 replica only for a lot less
Or a Performer X, but I need to know how much extra power that will give me over the Blox/Skunk2.
Throttle body: probably a Blox. They're affordable and can't find anything but good about them. 66 or 68mm I think.
S80 gearbox: I want a short final drive but I want a longer 5th gear; 120@4300rpm is a bit too much for my liking. So I could change the fd and 5th gear and open up the box. Or just buy an S80 with also a shorter 4th gear but a longer 5th with as a result that all gears are shorter except for the 5th. Well, just a little bit but imho not worth considering since it's only a 1.5mph difference in top speed. Added BIG plus: I don't have to open up my box and I can sell my S4C here.
So my plans would cost me a bit more than 3k probably. Makes a big difference with turbo plans which will cost me at least 4k or even more. Can someone make calculations for the costs of building a turbo setup for about 250whp inc a B18c conversion?
