10's for 5k???

[ALLMTR]

I think OKEo2o's V8 'rolla would probably owe him about 10...

[BigMuz]

My VK for $5k plus a nine inch and the nitrous kit I will throw in.

Spent the other 3500 on whores and coke.

[Euroboost]

Vk - cream color - schmik body - awsum condition - $200
4.o litre Tickford motor $400 or free if you already had one
exhaust manifold - $300 DIY or $600 aftermarket
Gt35r - $1k off Ford forums
Strong C4 - $2500 from just about anyone (you trust)
C4 bellhousing - $450 from Dellow
Tailshaft - $400
VL diff - $300
Microtec - $1200 retail or cheaper if you have hookups
Intercooler - $250
piping - $200
044, lines and reg $450
Injectors $400
Tuning $400

Leaves $1.25k for some tube, steel & other little shit.

If you shopped around & traded shit I reckon you could do it under $10k - I know I could if I had the motivation, shed, hoist, time and $10k.

Oh and best bit is you'd be hated by both Holden and Ford fans

Pickup a late enough VK and it'll already have the VL diff, our 6/85 Calais had the discbraked VL diff. Sold it for $800 but it was in good nick.

Secoh: thats a real shame

GSRman, Pickles seem to do lots of 4cyl onversions. Why just yesterday I was looking at a crashed BF that was apparently powered by a 1.3L suzuki sierra motor.

strip it
stick some random fwd set up in there
nos
slicks

[Decadentia]

Can't be fucked to figure it out, but surely one could get a ghetto style Centura with a blow-thru turbo 265 smashing down the quarter for under $10k. Dunno how close it would go to 10's though.

only problem with that is it costs arseloads to get a decent box behind them. i dunno if a single rail hemi has done 10's yet?

makes me think actually.. ive started working on my vg yoot lately which could get pretty close..

vg yoot - $800
rust repairs and blackboard paint to hide everything - $100
reco 265 and borg warner (came in $700 wrecking job) $400?
hilux diff with supra brakes - $200
bmw 4 spotters and larger discs on front - <$200
cm duel outlet manifold + ghetto exhaust + To4 - $600
8" wide falcon wheels + used slicks - $300
performance lpg system + 4bbl manifold - $1000 (after gov grant)
stall convertor and 1c mod for borgie - $400.01?
2mm copper headgasket - $200?
MP performance ign module and locked CM distributor - $250

only weak spot i see here so far is the auto.. surely should make 1 run??

id start a street ar thread but things round here happen so slowely ill probs just start one when im on the homestraight to finishing it

[Dansedgli]

Snort performance does manifolds for the ford donks.
If you're paranoid whip the head off, give it a skim & slam it back on with a decent gasket & new bolts.
Then turn the wick up till it blows, buy another $150 engine, do the same & back the boost off 2psi. I reckon a stocker would take 15psi on a good tune before it let go - should = plenty fasts.

Trans not so sure.

Snort manifold - $600.
TO4z - $2k
Ebay wastegate - $150
Oil, water lines, gaskets - $500
Cooler - $150
Piping, filter and dump pipe done at home - $300
ECU, Injectors, 044 and tune - $3k for a microtech.
Electronic shift kit to disable S3 and S4 solenoids to run max line pressure $5
Spool $100 fitted at home.
Converter + converter electronic mod to prevent limp home mode $600
EF falcon - $1200 bought on friday.
Valve springs, cam, head gasket new head bolts - $700 ish
2nd hand slicks. $500

Thats around $9805. Im sure Ive missed stuff though. With a whole lot of luck it might do it.

[TK]

You'll do it cheaper than that man.
Scratch the T04z - too many $$ -just get an MP T70.

If you're handy a megasquirt could be used instead of the microtech.

Leave the stock cam in there, mill head, gasket set & bolts should be around $200.

[Dansedgli]

I tried to do a megasquirt once and failed.

After soldering for 10 hours and messing around trying for get it work for a few weeks I would never attempt it again. Ill leave ECU's and tuning to experts.

Has anyone on here used a mp turbo for an extended period of time? I figured it would be safer to TO4z it and know that it should last. It does add another grand or so to the cost though.

Maybe a 2nd hand 35r would do it. But Im not sure it would have the grunt to do it without a special big $$ trans and lots of stripping of weight.

There is a low K 35r for sale for $1300 on another forum. The guy ran an 11.2 with it in an EL with a stock trans and decent stall converter. Not sure if that was all he could get out of it though.

[OKE020]

10s for < 10k is much easier if you dont have to worry about road worthiness, i think you'd be hard streched to build a road worthy 10 sec car on that budget, atleast one that can run repeatable 10s. My V8 ke20 is far from finished but i have all the bits, paint, consumables everything bar tailshaft and exhuast to finish and i am fair wack below 10k, that being said i still have alot of labour to put in and i am sure there will be misc costs. Then i am not sure it'll have the 60' in it for a 10 with a stock convertor and large turbine.

[WRXCunt]

turns out farm thing weighs 400kg
http://johndeere.lapunk.hu/tarhely/j...__6x4_20__.jpg
