I agree with mtcookson, I learned a lot from that website, but Jason (the owner of that site) says something on there that is very true and contradictory to your goal, there isn't a true ''budget'' way to build this motor and have it be reliable. the way he put it, I believe, is ''if you want to just buy a lot of parts to make it fast, sell it and buy a honda.'' you have to plan, pay, and search to make a strong motor out of the vg motors. there will always be cheaper options, but that route won't be as reliable as spending the money the first time around. good luck on your build.
