Does this post make you feel better about yourself? I hope it does. As for me, you obviously know nothing about me or what I do/have done, so it really doesn't bug me.
Here is a breakdown for when you hope to build your own motor with your own bare hands, just like I did. Hopefully you'll have enough money.
Golden eagle sleeving with wholesale pricing since I am a dealer for them, is 1300 for an h/f with a final bore and hone. This includes shipping
125 for a balance shaft elimination kit (I got free shipping)
680 for the Crower rods from another vendor of mine
510 for CP pistons from the same vendor w/ rings
125 for ACL race bearings
250 for oil pump / seals / etc
So what you failed to get out of this post that is unless you don't sleeve your block (which really isn't 100% necessary, I did it so it would be done and I wouldn't have to worry when I cranked the boost up) you would spend around 3k just in parts for your bottom end alone.
Now that we have gone there, the average person on this site (probably like yourself) won't be able to do the things that I can with my car, IE tune it on my dyno, fabricate all the proper turbo components, assemble the motor, install motor etc.
So there is where you get into more money, If you have to pay someone. Also factor in other things like having the chassis, and a GOOD turbo kit is going to be another 2k for a good chassis and 3k for good turbo setup. SO like I stated before in an effort to make this man realize 10k doesn't really go far when you start with nothing, especially if you buy new parts.
Will I brag about what I built? Yes, simply because I can.
