Forged engine
Hi....
Looking to buy a nice clean gc but was thinking of going down the forge engine route and wanted to know price involved for a all in Inc mapping cost
Cars a lovely v4 sti with fmount, 6spd box and xhaust
Looking to run sc billet turbo so wanted supporting enginge/mods. Looking for around 400hp.
Was looking to swap a v7 jdm engine in it but far too much involved to go down the management route not even talking about finding a nice engine so forging current would make more sense.
Thanks for looking and thanks for help.

Newage shortblock would do for 400 using your heads being the cheapest option.
Around 4-6k and beyond for a forged shortblock depending on what internals you choose.
Edit: I'm running around 400bhp using sc42 twin scroll billet and on a standard classic bottom end

Yeah about 4-5k plus mapping etc, as your v4 ecu dont think its mappable so youll need ecu.
Or newage ej207 block with current heads circa £1k plus mapping/fitting or if wanting full engine for avcs then a vvt mappable ecu etc but again will need mappable ecu if the v4 ecu isnt mappable

I happen to have a very nice bottom
I've upped the boost back to 1.6bar,I need to tweak the map a little as I'm overshooting to 1.7,but this old block of yours really sounds sweet and the car drives/pulls so well!
I'm need to sort a blowing manifold,fit a 3 port bcs and tweak the map a little then it's going on the dyno to see what power it's running,I'm not usually fussed for numbers but i must admit I'm itching to find out

Would be nice to see what power your running although its not about the numbers. There's life in the old dog yet
Simon always said it sounded sweet and we always wondered how far we could push it. Only time will tell my friend

I've had the dam manifold off twice now and think it's never gonna be right,one side of the flange is 5mm and the other side side of the same flange is 7.5mm,I did get it looking a bit better but I might have to give in and buy a new one,might give it another go tho as I don't like to give up haha.
Hopefully this summer I will have a dyno run and see where the numbers are,my guess is close to 400bhp

I will see if there's a decent machine shop local to sort this manifold out tho before buying another,it's gotta be worth another try!
GT30 will be very nice indeed
What turbo you running now mate?

New flange welded on might be a good call,they're oem EL headers but even they're expensive 2nd hand.
