DelawareT5M Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 BTW who wants to buy it ?lol how much did the build cost? and whats your selling price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maciekb2002 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 If I tell you how much it is I can't make money on you , With selling it was just a joke I have connections with parts plus labor is free , But You have to spend over $2000 , just to get rods ,pistons, rings,machine shop and spare block just like I did , Don't forget about turbocharger ,injectors and Tune , that is another couple $$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburn T5 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I've heard a $5000 minimum should be expected with these builds if you upgrade turbos and have head work done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I've heard a $5000 minimum should be expected with these builds if you upgrade turbos and have head work done.My build (H-beams, pistons, etc.) was over 4K, with 1700 in machine shop costs - then there's all the misc hoses, seals, gaskets, etc......
