I was wondering if it was possible to get 450 to 500 hp with like a 2000 dollar budget I have been looking at gettin bigger delivery valves, a different fuel plate, maybe even a different turbo, oh and also a set of injectors. Any suggestions?

and how hard would it be to turn it into a 5 speed from an automatic?


Thanks

 

i swapped a manual into my truck, it wasnt that hard, but i bought another whole truck for all the donor parts, theres $1000. ur gonna need a dual disc clutch, $1500, fuel plate would be free, injectors-say 500 average dependin on what ya want, turbo- another 1300. i dont think its possible with just 2k, thats 4300. a set of governor springs will help the truck immensely.

n i dont see anything in ur sig about gauges???? i hope u have em since ur not runnin a plate

 

Go with a set of 140 hp injectors bbs 60lb valve springs a 4 GSK and a good turbo that's a start

no i dont have gauges in my truck since i just turned up the pump like 2 weeks ago and i just drive about 2.5 miles a day so i havent really been drivin it hard. but would it be more cost effective to put in a manual or go with a built auto. and this will be a process really i am footin out about well 3000 now or so then another 3 or 4000 at the first of the year.
and is there any brands of injectors, turbo, etc that you would go with

 

hate to burst your bubble but 2k is not gonna get you a good 500hp truck.

 

well thats why i was wondering what i would need to make a good 500 horsepower truck

and also what i could start with then at the beginning of the year i could buy the rest and get it on the road

 

before u do anything GET GAUGES!!!! it'd really suck to have to spend all ur playin money on a new motor... all that extra fuel is makin alot of heat. atleast get boost n egt.
as for injectors, i just ordered 90 horse from SDX. i havent gotten them yet so i cant give u my own opinion, but everybody says they are top notch.
i really don't think a 500 horse daily driver is necessary. with what i have done to my truck i highly doubt im even to 300 horse n its still fun as hell to drive n has towed everything i've asked it to. i think the biggest help was the 5 speed.

if u dont tow u can prolly go with bigger injectors than i did.

 

Ok thanks i thought about making it down to the drag strip when i get it done and just buy another truck and make it my toy i just want something with a lot of power i guess you could say i am power hungry and i figured a diesel was a good start i played around with it for a while now and i want more to feed my addiction but i will add gauges to my list of stuff to get. and what kinda fuel plate would you recommend i see a lot of guys gettin a 10 or 100 but i dont know the difference aparently i am more of a jackass then i thought i was but thanks for the help in advance i really appriciate it.

 

dont get too silly, You have to look at prices. Look on ebay, An 8 blade hx 40 goes for $299 brand new, you can get 40hp injector nozzles for $75, a fuel plate for $35, make your own bhaf intake, straight pipe it turbo back. Im just like you, i just got a 12v and i dont have the money to mod it so ive been lookin. Oh and make sure you dont run over 35-40 psi with stock head studs.

 

get gauges.. and trans first. then u will have a good base to start ur modding.
