I'm the "bill friggin gates" dude.
Your advise did suck.. I'm sorry I'm not saying anything about you or your experience or shop... it's just that with the first post you put here (I'm not even gunna bother with the follow ups)
heres what you told him to buy....
"exhaust and intake."
great thats already 400 minimum for 10 hp at the most
total: 400
"underdrive crank pulley, the assessory pulleys(over-drive)Pulleys"
another 100-150 bucks plus labor or time for another maybe 10 hp (more like 5)
total: 500-600
"cam gear"
Ya that makes a lot of sense in a SOHC car. IF you advance the intake your retarding the exhaust that's not good.
total: 600-700
"fuel rail"
If you can turbo your car without needing a new fuel rail then I think you just pissed 120 dollars out the windo for NO gains.
total: 700-820
"larger injectors"
Ya that makes a lot of sense. dump WAY more fuel than the motor you've put together could EVER use.
total: 1040-1140
"fuel pressure regulator"
WHY WHY WHY.... These things are a useless joke especially since your talking about getting an afc later. why would you have a mechanical adjustment if your planning on getting and electronic one?????
total: 1100-1200
"ignitions system(MSD SCI)"
No horsepower but I'd agree with this mod. sort of I'd suggest just gettin the modifier cap and coil.
total: 1200-1300
"Fields or Apexi AFC."
what for???????? He has NO ability to get more air in so why would he want to force more fuel in (especially since you already have him dumping more fuel via the rail/regulator
1500-1600
"Once you get all of that stuff
port and polish the head"
You have got to be kidding... this is the riskiest thing you could do. it will cost tons of money to get it done right and on top of it your forced to deal with down time on your car. Plus if they do a crappy job you end up LOOSING hp.
2000-2300
"Crowler makes an awesome cam shaft
This alone will gaurantee you 15HP"
I think you mean CROWER... and 15 hp get real. maybe with all the other crap you mentioned you'd have a TOTAL gain if 15hp at this point for about lets see...
total: 2300-2600
"thinner copper head gasket."
total: 2400-2700
"balance out the A/F"
Uh isn't that what the afc is for????? oh if your talking about lambda tuning his car sure i guess.
total: 2500-2800
With the cam shaft in place you are going to need Titanium retainer/springs "
total: 3000-3200
"The only thing you can do to the block is sleeve it and blueprint lightened flywheel"
Why in gods name would you sleeve an na block with MAYBE 170 hp (that's being VERY generous)
total: 4000-6000
"I strongly suggest you take your time and get the right parts the first time. Cheap parts/deals will only hurt you in the long run and won't prove to be much of a deal! Stick with brands that you know and can trust. But all in all, OEM is the most dependable of all parts."
Well that's good advice but then I look in your sig and all i see is obx. They make REAL good stuff huh??
IF you think for even a second this car will have 300 hp Your nutz
And as far as your car doing 0-60 in 6 seconds.... how in gods name do you figure that with the mods you have there is NO way that's even close.
