[falcon]

lol , im just wondernig what would i be expecting to pay around or up to lol..
And what would be the best parts & parts i will need forsuree to sustain the 450-500 hp?

Stop being a leech and do some searching. God knows ALL the information you're looking for is on this site.

And I will give you a high five if you can make 500whp on a $2000 budget. HELL, I'll give you an extra 1K. Get it done for 3K and you are my hero.

Good luck. lol

rule of thumb: rougly 1hp at the crank =1cc. 600cc = ~600hp at the crank give or take thats pretty close to 500whp

Cheap HP = bad HP... Have learned this from experience.

On a side note I don't think 600cc injectors would be enough for 500hp. Maybe 500 at the crank but not to the wheels

500hp at engine is not hard. Can do it with a basic boost up + stock bottomend if in good condition and stock cams.

For reliable engine (if bottomend is ok) -

Nistune for stock ECU
600cc injectors
255lph fuelpump
Z32 AFM x2 + Z32 plugs
Apexi podfilter x2
Full exhaust from turbo's
HKS EVCS boost controller or similar
Nismo twin plate clutch
R34 N1 turbo's or GT2860? turbo's
Tomei 1.2mm 87mm bore metal headgasket
ARP headstuds
Tomei metal intake, exhaust gasket kit, Nissan repair gasket kit for valve seals, etc
Nismo or Tomei sump baffle plate to make sure there's no oilstarvation problems.

Basic boost up of stock R32 RB26 engine can produce 430hp.

If want that hp cheap, buy a GTR with the above mods.

just wondering. OP have you ever driven a car with 500hp. why are you aiming to get that much?

+1

A good quality stock GTR pulls very hard and is a load of fun. Get the car first then decide how much extra power you need, if any.

Oo okay and no I'll be paying cash I'm just buying my house first then I'll be buying it and will be able to easily afford it lol. And yeah I want to do it the Safeway haha

[gtrjon]

you could get 500 whp for 2000 like they say but 500 whp reliably is a whole other story. to get 500 whp safely i would say cheaply 10k or you can go like nismostune and i am gna guess around 20-30k with ball ****!

Are you struggling to afford the GTR or just decided you wanted one recently? If you can afford your car (not paying a loan on the thing so it's paid off) than 500hp should be easy to pay for.

I'd say anywhere from $2000 to whatever. Look at others' builds to see what they've done. Don't go by mine cause that's a different budget to go by. I dont' have 500hp yet and I've got above $2k

Best thing to do like super dude says, set a budget and go by that. I'm still within my budget (since I originally was budgeting for a Z06) so I'm not in the dog house yet with the wife lol.

If you are unable to buy the car cash, then worry about keeping the thing running since you can't afford your car just yet. If it breaks, then start looking for more power. Otherwise, make more power when you can afford it. Bank loans are expensive in the wallet (interest rates are nasty) and line someone else's wallet. I did the 5% budget (5% of net income) so I never spend more than I can afford.

I have a chart that shows me, for example, what part I bought back in 2005, from who, how much, shipping cost, taxes spent and so on. This way, I keep track of everything and know if I'm within spending limits.

Hope this helps you on your quest.

lol , im just wondernig what would i be expecting to pay around or up to lol..

[Super_Dude]

2000$ with a few bolt ons and 150 shot nitrous

70,000$ with a Dry sumped, V-cammed, OS giken rb30 with a new EFR 7670 and a motec m800

a better idea is start with a budget and work from there

[FiTz2315]

hey as some of you know i will be purchasing another GTR and just wondering how much would 500 hp with labour ,parts and everything be approx?
