a cool air intake  
a NOS fogger system  
a T4 turbo  
an AIC controller  
direct port nitrous injection.  
And a stand-alone fuel management system.

Not a bad way to spend $10,000.

I’m just getting started, and I already don’t want to add it up. I still have alot more to go to get it where I want it…including a new block.

Maybe I’ll just lose the receipts so I can spare myself the agony.

IMHO…

If you have as much into your car to not want to add it up, then you spent your money in the wrong places…

It’s not in the wrong places…I’m buying my turbo setup. It’s just the fact that I am also building a new house. I’d rather not know what’s going to be in the new block knowing what has to go into my house too. Priorities. haha.

I have approx. $5000 into turbo setup + swap when this all said and done. That’s not including new block + sleeving + internals.

Thats cool man, i totally understand. I probably shouldn’t have said “wrong places”, I just keep track of every single thing I purchase, keep files, run tabs on things. I could run each of the cars I listed down to the penny, but thats just not necessary. Its the little things that kill ya anyways! :bash:

Staying on-topic, I just got the H22 for the ferio back, and it was $350 to clean/deck/hone, size mains and rods, assemble 4 random pistons on 4 random rods to make a matching set, and machine the crank. More than I thought it should be, but oh well.
