Ribby Member 75 Member For: 11y 7m 29d Gender: Male Location: Gladstone QLD Posted 02/03/14 05:40 AM Share Posted 02/03/14 05:40 AM just sitting here interested to know how much would it cost if I wanted 1000hp. what would it involve to the engine ie blue printing, changing rods and pistons, bearings. bigger turbo, intercooler, injectors. I already have 400kw so clearly 1000 is the next step right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the process or starting a build at the moment. It takes a lot of money, time and patience. It's not as simple as just throwing new rods and pistons etc. But in the end it'll all be worth it.

Dont know if its worth it as a daily driver but some will argue it. I would probably spend the money on a car more worthy of the money(R35 GTR). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 13y 6m Posted 02/03/14 08:42 AM Share Posted 02/03/14 08:42 AM Depends whether you want a 1000hp dyno warrior or one that can be driven. Need to factor in built diff, billet axles, brakes to match etc. I reckon $50k if starting with a stock car. You can prob save a bit on that with current mods but yea not cheap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
