spend cheap get cheap results, spend smart, get smart results. Set a budget triple it then you have a workable figure.

Not trying to discourage you but I have only just finished my 400kw build (engine only) and I am starting to have to repair/rebuild other things down the line. Seriously sit down and figure out how much you can afford to spend divide it by 3 and use that as the budget for your build, cause it always blows out, no matter how good you are at money management.

Injectors, cooler, fuel system, intake, exhaust, valve springs, gearbox, clutch, diff, turbo. Or as Ralph says just throw a new diff bush in it.... If you are handy with tools you can save money on labour so long as you do it properly. If you are literally going to do cheque book racing then add labour to your build and it will add up, plus tuning. If you want my opinion, don't do it if its your daily driver unless you are prepared for the repair and maintenance regime that comes with owning a car with that much power.

Just my 2c

Lol yea I figure it won't be cheap but I'm really

Just wanting to know what needs to be done

And what parts and where to buy as some places

Can be deerer than others

So far on the shopping list is bigger injectors size?

Bigger intercooler

Upgraded turbo bigger? Or modified?

Cat back exaust my friend owns a ex shop he will do this

Cold air intake

Nizpro valve springs

Over boost valve

Bigger plenum ?

I have a walbro 255lph hp pump allready from my 1uzfe Hilux will this be capable of 400kw

I did 400kw for about 10k in 3 stages, had I done it all in one hit prob wouldve cost 2k less and that's fitting everything bar valve springs myself

400kw at the fly am able to do all work/labour just after parts

Is my daily driver but my Hilux project is just about finished for now so I will drive the yota

Out of the shed and drive the ford in

Tried searching first but I probably was looking in the wrong spot

I'll keep looking

Thanks

400kw at the fly would be about 300kw at the wheels?? Doable for 2grand with a cheap cooler, intank pump, 42lb injectors and high flow cat
