How long is a piece of string? You can look at getting just the pistons and heads done but 3 months down the line you will probably ask "what if.....". I've just had mine done (by one of the main names) with the intention of reliability but more power. For mahle pistons, steel con rods, polish and balance crank, dual valve springs and retainers, inlet and exhaust valve set, arp head studs, acl race bearings, Sti gasket, rebore, cosworth sump baffle, uprated oil pump, I was looking at a bit over 5k all in fitted.

I was thinking of adding a magnetic sump plug to my 2.5 to pick up any bits of metal in my oil, but was told that chocolate isnt magnetic!!

My comment was tongue in cheek, I have a 2.5 hawk, but if you cant have a laugh at the 2.5 comments on here, you would be worrying about every little noise.

Depends what sort of engine you want built, Do you want a engine built that can withstand trackdays/hard abuse and lots of power then its going to cost loads, and your looking at forged pistons, rods, crank, 14mm head studs and your block converted to CDB etc etc!!

But if you want a reliable engine that can take a little bit extra power, then maybe look at Forged pistons, new headgasket and new head studs as these seem to be the weak point in the 2.5!!

What ever you decide good luck!!!

Fair play and I guessed that, water off a ducks back to me mate as I have a 2.5 with 103,000k miles on it and still going strong.

But some times when you just want a simple answer...........

hey ho Getting the list together now.

tgv delete kit, and all the secondry airpump crap infact.

Also uprate the inlet pipe while manifold is off, plus put an sc46 on it

Tidgy

What sort of power/torque you producing?? And have you any RR graphs???

Tidgy

its been pulled back a tad compared to that due to top mount struggling to keep inlet temps down, running about 386 at the min, once front mount sorted it will be cranked up to about 450 ish

On full boost at 3600rpm!!!

Thats what i love with these billet turbo's, make good power, but can still be on full boost at a decent low rpm!!!
