Hey guys, my friend has brand new turbo kit, and also has a brand new built 4v motor. the turbo kit is a 80mm turbo, uprgraded large front mount intercooler, and the whole kit is jet hot coated. his motor is a stock crank, eagle rods, je 9:1 pistons, arp everything, 2k in head and intake port work...pretty much everything that can be done to the motor other than going with a billet bottum end...well my question is, I can sell my stock motor, to help pay for his motor, or I can sell my vortech setup, to help pay for the turbo. I wish i could do both, but i cant, and i cant make up my mind, so any suggestions would help!

 

Dude have you checked the price on a turbo kit for your stang. Im thinking by the the time you buy the turbo kit your gonna have to do all that to your motor anyway so you might as well go ahead and by the other motor and use the money you save to build the bottom end of it. That is of course if it DOES turn out to be cheaper to buy the motor. Thas what I would do anyway. Twin turbo for my stang is like $6,999.

 

well the turbo kit is a little more than 5k, and so is the motor...

 

only thing I would do is replace the rods for a better set..crank should be ok

 

well see the motor is fully built...the problem im having is if i should go with with a built motor, and stay vortech, or go turbo, and stay with a stock motor.
