    What's your parts budget like?

    Rods, cams, valves, pistons, rings, gaskets. About 4k
    machining, matching grinding. 2k
    new ecu loom and management 2-3k
    service parts 500
    mounts, intake 500
    big turbos, manifolds, dumps. 4-5k
    exhaust 1-2k
    fuel system 1-2k


    Very ballpark :)

    parts can be had from Concept Z Performance, Z1 motorsports, Caz Racing, unique auto sports, import parts pro.... To name a few.

    There's a lot of labour involved, factor that If using a shop.

    Forget about

    trying to convert an NA engine ( if thats what you have) to a TT engine. Buy a second hand TT engine and build it up to what you want.

    I'd imagine that VG's are a little thin on the ground in Saudi Arabia ;)

    Z1 have a fair bit of information on there website about engine packages and potential turbo power.

    I would tend to spec there power packs and turbo power ratings about 100HP lower.

    Not a bad place to start.

    For 600RWHP I would suggest you use someone with experience building VG30DETT engines.


    Here's a few more Saudi Z32's.
