YOu can price everything out
GE sleeves are 750.00 plus shipping 100.00 thru www.camp1320.com
Pistons range 450-500 Cp but you can get Je for like 300
Eagle Rods are 280.00
Headgasket 90.00
ARP headstuds 100.00
Oil pump@ water pump 160.00
timing belt 50.00
That bottom ENd 1890

Ok now the head
Supertech Valves,springs @ retainers 550.00
Labor installing them going 1mm over 400
Intake manifold 280.00
total 1230

Now as far as the turbo kit it just depends on how crazy you wanna go,
Usally we can pieces a whole turbo kit toghter for 2500-3000 that includes hondata,it just really depends how crazy you wanna go with that.

Not all head need to be port and polished, altough i dont know much about D series i know B series will hold out just fine. And if you look at the full race car, the built motor that did 460 blew up the night before the race and they installed a stock motor, so when he was on pinks that was on a stock D series motor, not the built one!

And if you feel like spending 15k building your car let me know ill sell u my whole car for 18,500 and it has everything you can dream of!

1) if he doesnt know what a FMIC is, then i highly doubt hes capable of building this kind of motor

2) YOur pricing is kind of off
GE sleeves are 750.00 plus shipping 100.00 thru
thats without machine work, if you plan on not honing, boring, balancing thats stupid. budget $500 for GOOD machine work.

Pistons range 450-500 Cp but you can get Je for like 300
JEs are $300 WITHOUT RINGS

Eagle Rods are 280.00
thats about right if you have a hook up

Headgasket 90.00
right

ARP headstuds 100.00
right

Oil pump@ water pump 160.00
right

timing belt 50.00
right

You forgot bearings, lower gasket kit, water pump, tensioner, clutch unless you build motors reusing that kind of stuff

Turbo kit wise, you MIGHT be able to scrape by, but i doubt it dont you guys run $1200-1300 full race manifolds?

lets see for a 400whp D series you would need:
Tubular manifold of some sort ours run $850, others 650-1200
3in Downpipe $150-250
Wastegate $210
BOV of a name brand sort $200
RC injectors $360 for plug an play, $300 for resisitor box
FMIC $200
Piping $300 with GOOD tbolts, clamps and couplers
Crome PRO with ECU $180 or Hondata S300 $600 +ECU ($180)
Oil lines an fittings $150

That assumes you can tap an weld an oil pan, and do all the fabrication yourself.

your estimate doesnt have headwork which you have to have to make over 350whp, valvesprings, retainers, vavle job, valves, camshaft, intake manifold, etc.

Also, this guy was asking abuot STROKER kits, Custom cam, custom everything, and thats more money which you didnt address. Halfwit spent around $7000 for a built BLOCK, vtec head, new OEM parts, MSPi turbo kit with TDF manifold and on low boost he got 285whp out of it with a STOCK HEAD. We are getting springs, ret, cam for it in the next week or so, and we should be able to see around 350whp on race gas with it.

you see my point. sometimes its best not to cheap out.
