whats the best way to spend $2000 on a vl engine non-turbo
cheers

Chip, cam, extractors,exhaust, air filter,advance the timing on the dyno, tune engine for premium........gain 25kw-35kw

or you might be able to pick up a supercharger kit for that much......gain 40kw-50kw (its easy to go turbo from here)

Gearbox rebuild, 3000 stall, spool, rb26dett.... a few ideas

With 2 thousand dollars? Good luck with that one, lol.

If you definately want to stick n/a do whats been listed above, aftermarket management will help alot, tuning can be pushed alot harder then what you can do with the stock ecu, which is basically nothing. Chip so the fuel pumps in to match the cam etc, and timing bla bla bla.

Less then 1 grand you could get the SC14, supercharger on your car, do a search for that one.

Or I believe you could do the turbo conversion with 2k or less

how much do yas reckon you could pick up a complete rb25det engine for? or even a NISSAN rb30?

A non turbo Nissan rb30 you can pick up for around 300 dollars. Cheaper if you shop around, dearer if you dont.

Rb25dets I cant quite remember how much it was the last time I went looking, go purchase yourself an import magazing, it will have the entire list. Theres even a few good websites around.

Turbo rb30's are a bit dearer, wreckers want 2k+ complete.
But should be able to pick one up alot cheaper if you keep shopping.

crow cams do a cam for $359. buy a 2nd hand air box cut it up to block original box. cut new hole in the front put on an adaptor run tubing to front skirt. I did my intake about 30-40 bucks. K&N filter, pacemaker headers. hi flow cat, sports exhaust. chip. look on ebay but know your prices first so you don't get ripped off. i have heard though that a cam doesn't make that much difference though!? should get you an easy 20-30KW

hey i have done extractors, 2.5 exhaust, k&n pod, advanced timming, cold air intake and cam, the cam was done last and made a huge diff, if you are running standard comp, a wee trick is to fit an injector directly into your intake plenum some where central run a micro switch off your throttle to activate the injector at 1/2 or3/4 throttle, have a play!
