Not bad on the price. The part that's costing me is the labor, a v-mount instead of FMIC and the rebuild w/ new housings. Did you have a shop do the work? It also depends on where you live as far as costs go..

first of all, it wasn't a typo. I ran @ only 5psi because the wastegate i put on was for temporary. It only has a 6psi spring in it. By the way, it cost me about 7-8k total for everything. Half Bridge port, turbonetics turbo, exhaust manifold, fuel pump, ECU, injectors, Front Mount, FPR, BOV and other little things.

So take off 5 grand for rebuild + street port w/ install. You're still around the 8-10grand range and your stuck w/ your old engine. I see it as my engine has 64k on it and its not ported so why not get it rebuilt and ported while everything is already out. saving some labor money in the long run.

You still haven't factored in a rebuild (new housings, etc.) w/ a mild port. that is'nt cheap. Also i do not have sufficient garage space or the proper tools so I am having a mechanic i trust do the labor. So you have to factor in labor cost aswell. Btw rx7store's GT35r is not a true T4. I bought my GT35r T4 1.06 from A-Spec. Also, I've heard many people on the forums say it costs 11grand+ at least and a lot of them don't start from stock. One guy payed 15grand and he already had a VMIC. I'm also factoring in a new clutch. I went w/ rx7stores new V-mount (which comes w/ a modified Koyo Radiator)and that isn't cheap as well. I don't think I'm getting ripped off for what I'm getting. I plan on tracking the car and I want it to run as cool as possible. then of course there's shipping costs on all those parts. it adds up, fast.

Go to this link http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/stage%203%20power%20upgrade.htm. Or just go to rx7club.net and they can all tell you that your getting ripped off. we are just talking about going single turbo were not talking about running 30PSI with meth injection its really not that much money.

You don't know what you're talking about. You need to visit our cars club website and go to the single turbo forum. You don't just buy a turbo kit and slap it in. Those kits only come w/ so many parts.. You also have to buy a V-Mount IC or a FMIC, bigger secondaries and maybe even primaries depending, a mid pipe, engine management system, after market Radiator, and better fuel pump. And w/ my build I'm having my engine rebuilt w/ a mild street port. So I'm saying 13-15grand if you're starting from stock and your doing it RIGHT. I was well aware of the stock psi.

what are you talking about why would a single turbo kit cost 13-15 grand go to rx7store.net and they go from 3 grand to about 6 I sont know what turbo your planning on running but you are getting ripped off by someone.By the way I believe he had a boost leek and also stock twins run 10 psi stock I run 14 on mine.

That has to be a typo. Why would you ever run 5psi w/ a single turbo FD... 12psi is safe w/ 91oct pump gas... And thats w/ a GT35r turbo. 14psi would be pushing it on 91oct.. He must have meant 15psi and hes running a higher octane. Single set ups done on FD's are right around the 13-15grand ballpark (I should know I'm doing one) and if your running 5psi you might as well be running the stock twins and save the 15grand.

ok i love sti's but look at the time each of this cars were made.like ten years apart.and the rx7 is right behind him.not to mention he modified it and has only 5psi the sooby who knows what it has.ive seen rotaries that go in the low 7's. and if u take car of a rotary it will last. my roatary has 110,000 miles on it.running strong.it just a matter of knowing ur car.but non the less the sti has great handling and is an awesome rally car.I PERFER IT OVER THE EVO!!!
