Similar to your offer. We plan to offer a base tune program for the TwEECer. It will be on the safe side, and we will leave it to others to tune the last Hp out of the engine.

Who is doing the base tune?

Hope you understand that this kit isn't likely to come in under $400.

I'd expect $3k - $4k for a quality budget turn-key setup.

-Fuel pump
-FPR
-Injectors
-TwEECer
-Turbo (MBC?)
-Piping (hot and cold)
-Oil lines and fittings for feed and return
-Spark plugs

Don't forget that the 150-200k-mile tranny won't take it. Then the axles, along with the motor and tranny mounts. Oh, and I assume that you also have a newish beefy clutch to handle it? How about the suspension.

Set aside $10K to do it right. And odn't expect much left in that piggy bank when you are done.

I'll play the curmedgeon here. If you sell five units, be very happy.

This man speaks the truth...this is just a start if you don't already have the supporting modifications.

Then again, $10K-$15K into a car your purchased for a couple thousands is better in my opinion than a car payment...especially with 300whp, 4 doors, and a good trunk.

Why this is true, Many Folks already have much of this stuff done. For someone starting from a bone stock SHO obviously 10k+ is realistic. But for the folks who already have the full catalog on their car sans Forced induction, This is a dream come True. :sun:

412ft lbs of torque is not enough to snap stock axles, so I highly doubt this setup will. Stock trans mount for 60k miles with no issues. And a cared for trans will handle low boost and sane driving for a very long time. Just sayin.

 

[yamahaSHO]

I've snapped two axles... The first one was around 5k RPM in first gear. The second was a 1-2 shift and it snapped quick enough that it wasn't even felt in the drivetrain. I don't have 412 ft-lbs at the wheels.

Yeah, but with a loose suspension and mounts, things like axles do things they weren't designed to do.

Seriously, "sane driving"?

Remember there's always the next weakest link.

For those in the know, they don't need a kit. for the others............

I think we can stop with that now.. But maybe thats just me..

Either way, this is still a great idea and set up.. Even is its just a basic kit.. Even just selling the parts separately or as a kit, im sure it will sell..
Im going to be saving my extra coin for one you can bet that..

 

[zach44102]

id also sell the piping pre bent that way people can decide their own turbo set up. also sell the front mount intercooler with the mounting materials and templets.

 

[zblackbeast]

While i agree thats a good idea.. that may hurt their actual business, but who knows.. Either way at some point i WILL be buying this kit.. and i thank you SHOSource for alll your work on these old turds!

 

[zach44102]

lol dido. i am not going to say im going to get it untill im done with a couple other things

 

[zblackbeast]

Ha, its just a matter of time!

 

[zach44102]

give me a year or two lol

I've snapped more axles than both of you combined!
Take your SHO to the strip with slicks and see how long they last.

 

[Toolman]

Lots a good its doin ya, stuck in the 13s!!!















(runs and hides behind a weak 13.4)

 

[Toolman]

On a serious note, 400ft lbs will not break an axle. Shock loading will, even a stock SHO can do that, but heck, a 25k dollar GTR trans will do it too!!
