Is $5000 enough for a GTR swap?

[91ProtegeLX]

head work $2000
High comp. pistons $500 (just an estimate)
aggressive cams $400 (another estimate)
fuel system $400 (if the stock system cant handle it)
Probably need an EMS to tune it all im guessing.

I doubt im close on the price and things needed done, but is that something close to what you were thinking? I wonder how driveable it would be with a really aggressive cam in there. Am i wrong??

I still don't see how that'd be 400whp. Maybe, I'm not an expert. Braden please enlighten us!!!

umm, 400whp does NOT require ANY internal modification to the head or block.

BIG turbo
BIG intercooler
GOOD manifolds
LOTS of fuel
LOTS of dyno time
water or alcohold injection would make it easier.

Im sure he was thinking of manking a 400whp NA bp.

I think he meant by way of adding a turbo, rather than staying with Cams and compression.
If thats what you were thinking.

Oh, I see, maybe he didn't mean make an N/A beast, but turn it into a beast from being an N/A car. Right? hehe :p:
