I will not be able to afford this drivetrain setup in the next 2 years, but after that I can probably slap something together.

I would like to formulate an approx cost for a 350 twin turbo (BBS Designs kit) Full roller, forged pistons, steel crank, not sure on heads? Dart 2.05s? What manifold?

 

$20,000.00 + with all new parts

 

really that much? i was thinking more like 13-15 grand with all the goodies. but could be done for 8-10 easily.

 

don't know what exactly you mean by done right but.

I'm going to have a total of roughly 1800 or 1900, at the most 2000 into mine including a swap to fuel injection.

Rebult junkyard .60/.63 T3s
Custom built intercooler from junkyard cores
L98 exhaust manifolds modified into turbo headers

Stealth Ram
walboro 340 high pressure
727 running $58 code

I already had a crate motor with beefier internals than stock, but lowered the compression with a set of heads I haven't included in the turbo cost. I would have been buying them even if i stayed NA so i don't think they count toward my setup, atleast for my purposes. Tack another 300 onto my total if you want to count them. I sold my old heads for 500 and purchased the protoplines for around 800.

 

It really depends on what's important to you, and how close to the limit of the parts you want to go... You can turbo a stock L98 for nearly free if you scrounge junkyard parts. You can build a monster motor with brand name parts and coat it all, and spend over $15k, and still not have it be an "extreme" motor... I'd set aside $5k for a pretty basic, lower end forced induction engine, another $2k for electronics if you don't go with the 730ECM (which is just about free, but has a steep learning curve). Figure $10-$15k for an average setup if you aren't super frugal...
