Testing The Waters
If I were to take a stock mkIV with a 2jzgte, and put somewhere in the range of $7,000(Mostly at a shop, some simple things I will do myself If there are such things) into the car what RWHP could I expect and what specs could I expect out of it? Going to be swapping in a low mileage jdm engine with a 6mt, but this $7k will be ontop of the new engine. I would like to have it still streetable and it will mainly be for roadrace/occasional 1/4 mile. Let me know what you guys think I could get out of it and thanks in advance.
Also, this is my first post so hey everybody! |

Why swap in a jdm engine? Sure, the mileage might be lower, but the hours on the engine will probably be higher. Time spent idling (and revving) on the constantly-jammed streets of Tokyo is a big factor. Just offhand though, if you're going to both roadrace and drag race it, you're probably looking at a bpu+++ Mkiv at best for that max amount...which means about 425rwhp at best, reliably. Imho, there's no way you get a fuel system and an aftermarket turbo system on the car for that price, and then still have the $ you need for clutch, rims&tires, race fuel, and all of the other odds-and-ends you'll need for roadracing and drag racing.

And yeah, i realize that Labor will be alot of the cost. I don't want to do anything im unsure about and potentially ruin components of the car which is why I will probably do most of it in a shop. Thanks for answering by the way. I've read alot of other questions youve answered for other members, too. Most recently about the South Bend Kevlar clutch and Cyn-R-G flywheel I believe. |

I have another question for you.
If I'm upgrading to a 3" downpipe and catback exhaust for bpu+++ but I plan to go to APU later on, would a 4" catback exhaust and downpipe be better at APU levels? if so, would I be able to skip the 3" downpipe and exhaust and go right to the 4" at bpu/bpu+++ so I don't have to buy two exhausts and two downpipes? |
