[Nomadic]

500HP for 2k miles?

[bloodshot-e30]

^^^ yes thats exactly what im going for.

[Holland]

That's about all you would get too, lol. Definitely possible though if you do some extreme bargain shopping, but you would need to know exactly which parts to get.

[Mullet Bullet]

Nitrous.

Nitrous.

500hp @ 1/4...one pass is all you get!

[E30_(1st Musk)_]

not to mention the internal work you'd probably have to do to get to 500hp....

am i correct guys? or would you say he could get 500 hp SAFELY with stock internals?

[bloodshot-e30]

well appearently stock M52 internals can handle 22 pounds but im not real sure about that i kno the M52 rods are pretty fucking strong and i could get weisco pistons for pretty cheap through my shop

but im doing some reasearch trying to find other builds that people have done.

i kno 350-425 or so is pretty easy to do

theres a guy making 435 on an S52 at 15 pounds soo 18 should do it ;) lol

For 2k, just make your stuff reliable. Dick measuring by hp never got anyone anywhere (except supra owners)

[Dj Buttchug]

500hp for 2k dollars.... hmmmm good luck. not sure if it can be done

[325ix]

cheap, reliable, power. Pick two. You probably need double your 2k to do it right, at least. If your buddy blew up two engines in a Mustang he can't drive. They are quite reliable.

Turbo M30, they are dirt cheap. Just slap an MLS, ARP's, big turbo and your good for 500whp and will rape almost anything on the streets. I've eaten modded Z06's and sprayed Vipers in mine.

If you really want to do it right for $2k, you need some welding skills. I would do this... Build your downpipe, turbo manifold & short runner(optional), buy godspeed 3" in/out intercooler, tial wastgate, two cheap-ass blow off valves, Megasquirt, used 60lb injectors, some scrap 3" piping at a machine shop, t-bolt clamps, silicone 'bows, a walbro pump, afpr, and a find a used gt35 or t76 turbo. Try to track down every 24hr Lemons builder you can find. When it comes to building on a budget they know what's up.

[FunfGan]

I would say 2zj swap. You can buy a manual sc300 for around 1000 bucks then part out the rest of the car and make some money back. The 2zj swap kit(all the mounts) only costs about $200. Then you've just got wiring and the driveshaft to modify. Oh, and with the money left over throw a Big mutherfucking turbo on there. All for 2-3 grand.

this right here. Ive never known anyone to make more power for less money than Otis

[bloodshot-e30]

lol im not dick measuring just trying to prove i can make 500 for 2 not caring if its reliable or not, then i said i could make it reliable for 3-7k.... 2jz swap? no ill pass im done doing swaps for a while haha.

i still havnt really found any step by step builds but we'll see lol
