Proposed build Opinions
 

Hey Guys

So over the next couple of months ill be doing some major power adders to my car and wanted to post my proposed build to get feed back.

Esmeril version 4 turbo kit
Esmeril upgrade ignition kit
Race battery kit (Save weight)
Water/Meth injection (I know there a lot of people back and forth on this upgrade but it was highly recommended by Esmeril and the cost is neglect-able in comparison)
WideBAnd A/F Gauge
Boost Gauge
Fuel Pressue Gauge
Oil Pressure Gauge
Oil Temp Gauge
Water Temp Gauge
ACT upgraded clutch with light weight flywheel
Microtech Engine management with a custom tune down by Esmeril recommended tuner
ACT upgraded radiator
ExoticSpeed 3" turbo back
ACT upgraded LSD

My goal is to achieve between 350-400WHP(crossing fingers for the latter) :)
which i don't for see as being a problem with this setup, my only concern is with this proposed boost setting of 12-14PSI in order to achieve the power desired that the factory apex seals will not hold up and will break, crack etc....

In preparation for this I will be talking with pettit racing ti get a 2nd built to spec block with a mild street port and upgraded seals (oil, coolant, internal) to later swap out in the even of catastrophic failure which i assume will eventually happen

I am estimating a $16,000 dollar build budget including the engine from pettit which i will probably wait until the following year to purchase.

Please if I have missed anything or any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

you will need some more "stuff".
what hp figure are you trying to get?

I think he said 350-400 rwhp .. up there somewhere

I would also get
- Greddy Oil pan
- Mazmart Oil Pressure mod
- Upgraded Fuel Pump at the very least
- Upgraded water pump from Mazmart


You know there are a few forum members that have had a really bad experience with Esmeril using knock-off items, while being told that they are the brand item

Yes I see that the Esmeril kit is up and down on the forum :-/ I originally wanted the Pettit charger but since they discontinued the ok kit and are currently R&D on the new kit I do not want to be a test subject. And no other kit seems to be around my goal of 350-400WHP without major mods to
The kit being needed. Also the kit does come with upgraded fuel pump and injectors.
