Ive really come to appreciate N15's a whole lot more over recent months and progression of my current project car has furthered this. Heck I have even got my brother to appreciate them more whom usually wouldn't be interested in anything bar a lexus soarer 2.5L turbo.
I love my cars looks, and way it handles its even damn pokey for a N/A GA16DE
But.. its not enough might of been enough for me when I was 18 but im going to be 21 soon insurrence has come back into realms of reality in terms of pricing
Route 1)
SR20VE
A) Get SR20DE in and working £500
B) Get Clifford Alarm recoded for new imob/nats system £200
C) Import SR20VE engine £800
D) Mapping (Both routes need it mind, +Greddy MSS £500)
In short route 1 would get me in the region of 170-190bhp and 140ft/lbs torque thereabouts
Now thats really just getting a SR20VE in and working, before tuning etc
With total build cost £2000 with ease
Route 2
GA16DE-T
A) Turbo Manifold/Downpipe £250
B) Turbo £250 T25
C) FMIC/Pipes/Induction Filter/Uprated injectors/Fuel Pump £250
D) Oil sandwich plates & Oil cooler/Oil feed & Lines/BOV/Crank Catch Tank & Filters £250
E) Boost Gauge/Controller £50
Remapped & Dynoed £400/£500
160-200bhp with 140-160 ft/lbs torque thereabouts... but as dales proven with stage 2 internal upgrades pistons/cams etc 180ft/lbs torque and 240bhp is very achievable
Total Build cost £1500 roughly, could be lower if I get lucky sourcing parts etc
