Well eventually gathered all the parts i needed with the help of momentum motorsport located in lisburn northern ireland. Car went to them with 530bhp about 3 months ago, and within the next 4weeks i should be running my new reworked engine in, i'm heading away for 2 weeks to a small island called Zante off the south of Greece on thursday morning and i'll be wishing my holiday away to get back into the drivers seat, there was no stone unturned this time with the build, and i'm having a switchable map set up on the ecu for 98octane which is expecting to make 640bhp and then another map for Sunoco 109 which wll be used for track days and the like and from the engine builder who has a big bhp mr2 turbo, he's expecting 680bhp all being well. Figures don't really matter that much to me, but i'd be happy to see 600bhp on super as that'll be quick enough for me for the time being. Just keep an eye on this thread as pics of the build will appear when i get back from my holidays. And hopefully a nice video to make ya's all jealous.

the engine was already forged but i decided to go oversize on everything possible, there is a 87mm wiseco pistons fitted now were before it was 86mm CP's all balanced on the crank, over size valves with all the head work done to seat them, even more head work porting and polishing things to the limit to help flow things better. Also the exhaust manifold and wastgegate channel were ported to help aid exhaust gas speed, the garrett hybrid GT3582r was sent away for a refurb and maxxed out using the 1.08trim. The clutch has also got a revamp with HKSs triple plate now fitted with all new parts, mapping is due to start in the coming weeks when everything comes back together with a soft map, for the run in of the new block then a more aggressive map is being used when its broke in, this engine has had a fortune spent on it in the past so there is another $10k this is including the use of staff discounts on the gt4ec forum and a VAT number for the republic of Ireland, so basically if i was paying real money the bill would be closer to $15k, i also have a friend who's getting his ST165 work with momentum so that'll be another exciting project i might show you guys as well, as his is a build from the ground up project. I'm sure there is loads i've left out as its 8:30am and i've been up all night and day with work and getting everything sorted for going away tomorrow night, so i'll probably re read this at a later time and add to it.
