Been following this thread as i'm going in the same direction at some point soon . Just wondering are the pistons and rods you've got from realstreetperformance 2.1 kit ? What makes a 2.1 different to a 2.0 kit is it rod length/crank or just over sized pistons? Also can i ask who is doing the build and for how much ?

I think you may find this interesting fella, going back a month or so ago with us trying to find info on the "2 line cams" from the sti heads.
Today i removed the cam cover on an engine to check the cams(basically to see if they had the 2 lines) as is the general census assciated with V3/V4 heads.
They didnt!
They were identical to the set i sold to a friend a few weeks ago( one central line) and identical to the other cams people have found in V3/V4 heads with under bucket shims.
Now i know for a fact that these heads came from version 4 type R because the guy who's heads they are removed them from his mates to type r to fit on his forged engine.
So...........IMO the "one line" 4in/4ex cams are actually V4 Type R heads as opposed to the "two line" V3 heads.

I'll go into who will be building it at a later date, and although i'm trying to put prices on everything, i'll have to check the builder is fine with me posting the price. Although i think a lot of people will be contacting them.

No worries ill keep an eye on things here then , real street seems very cheap!! just thinking are there many builders out there willing to build from parts they haven't supplied ? as think they might get the hump as not making as much out of the job .
