Car Craft EBay Turbo article + Vince = 500hp at under 2k (in theory) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

CAMAR0 · 07-19-2010, 12:31 PM

Couldn't we do this, call vince, and call it a day at 500+ hp for under 2k?

2010 SSRS · 07-19-2010, 12:39 PM

that would be awesome for under 2 grand.

i love when they do these budget mag articles... pretty cool seeing what you can conjure up and rig together to make ponies

CAMAR0 · 07-19-2010, 08:24 PM

This may be do-able for less.. A place in town has a mustang turbo kit that claims its 650 hp capable for $399 shipped! If that thing made it a year it would be soo worth it! Tuning would be $550 from Trifecta (I think). Custom piping is $200 roughly. Cant really think of much else I would need.

READ THAT TODAY AT WORK LOL!!

CAMAR0 · 07-19-2010, 08:57 PM

Mine hasn't come yet! I almost bought another copy because I didn't want to wait to read it.

Thats what Ultimate performance did to mine and a couple other cars. Ebay turbo kits and made 628 rwhp was still running strong when I totaled it. Tried to bring a suit against them but Garrett want even touch it. Japan copy's are as good or even better for like 1/3 the price.

CAMAR0 · 07-19-2010, 09:11 PM

How many miles were on the turbo setup when you totaled it?

hummmm, the wheels are turning......wonder what a custom turbo manifold would run?

gameovergt · 07-20-2010, 08:44 AM

need to read that article

CAMAR0 · 07-20-2010, 10:48 AM

Would be interesting to see. The honda clone engines on eBay from china run just as good or better than authentic Briggs motors on go karts.

CAMAR0 · 07-20-2010, 03:14 PM

I emailed the eBay seller and received this response. Guess if i call maybe they can use my car for figment to put together a kit???
