Ok, So sometime in the near future I am going to be picking up a clean rolling chassis and the plan is to build a ridiculous and amazing VR4. Its gonna be pretty much a complete restoration/build. I am looking for advice on how to go about making this the best VR4 possible. My main concern right now is at the engine. I cant decide what route to go, 2.0, 2.3 or 2.4. Im looking to make this car reliable as well as powerful. I also want this car to be streetable and smooth. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each engine? This is also going to be a pretty much unrestricted budget build taking place over the next few years. I would just like to know an approximate price for this build. Here is a very incomplete list of what I have planned:
Built motor(Most likely by Jack Mcgee)
Built head with cams (kelford 272s??)
Built trans by Jack (with the quaife front LSD and 10% taller 5th)
Twin disk clutch
(possible aluminum driveshaft)
4 bolt LSD rear
3000gt brakes (i believe it was cheekychimp who mentione a way to use the 3000gt rears to retain the e-brake /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif )
Hotbits suspension
SMIM (possible, Im not sure if I want to try a cyclone or extrude hone a stocker. Opinions?)
Im completley up in the air on turbo setups. I need help here too
Meth injection
Liquid to air IC (Opinions on this?)
Aluminized 3" TBE
All poly bushings everywhere
All SS lines
Front and rear swaybars
AEM EMS
Cosmetic stuff:
JDM front and rear bumpers(RS or AMG if I can find em)
93 headlights
Im undecided on wheels right now, but im pretty sure they will be 17s
Probably two tone paint, Im thinkin green on top and black on bottom
CF hood and trunk(but Im gonna paint em)
AMG 3 piece spoiler(maybe even in CF)
EvoVIII seats in the front
The underside of the car will be undercoated including subframes. (possibly powdercoated)
I know I have missed quite a bit, but it still gives yall a a glimpse of what Im planning.
Please give your input and advice. Im looking to make this the best car I can, any help is appreciated.
