I found a good condition EJ20G motor for roughly 100 quid. Going to pick it up as a project motor. Going to work on it as a side project while I finish suspension etc. Unsure exactly how I'm going to go about building it up tho. Looking for tips on what people have tried with their builds. Currently my 2000 classic has a USDM EJ205 and a version 5 RA transmission with the usual mods for suspension and brakes.

I was thinking I'll just raid the RCMS parts catalogue and start from there. Might not really need to spend that much money tho.

My wish list would be
EJ20G block bored out to 92.5mm
9:0 or 9.5:1 forged and coated pistons
RCMS WRC style rods
75mm crank either the version 9 nitrided (mod the block) or RCMS WRC billet crank
Big bearings
Bronze cylinder block bush (the US has terrible gas so figured this might help with the detting problems we get) Anyone ever use this? is it needed?
ARP studs
RCMS oil pump
I may just use my EJ205 heads and port them and add springs and cams or might go with a version 3 or version 4 set of heads.
Looking at either a GT30 turbo or GT30 hybrid turbo
Controlled by Hydra EMS with Hydramist (meth injection)

I have a lightweight fly coming and carbon fibre drive shaft in the works.

My aim is for 350+wheel HP and have close to full spool at 4k RPMS and pull solidly to 8k. Car won't be a daily driver only seeing some hill climbs and track work.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
