£20k is from my own experience which is with a WRX is more work needed, but I'm just saying it all adds up quickly!!!

Going for a used 2.1 engine tbh mate
have cold air cone already sorted.. in no rush to get car done so have plenty of time thankfully

Hi there

You will need to have aftermarket ECU,you can in theory run Blown Through MAF setup(MAF will be in Intercooler pipework),then you should be able have nice results,but still I would go with Syvecs

Spec looks good,fuel pump I would go with Walbro 450LPH and possibly with Swirl pot if you are thinking to push car on the track

Engine choice is only CDB,in theory you can run SCDB,but I would go with CDB with RCM or Cosworth Headstuds 260k psi(14mm will be best,but those above mentioned should be OK for yours needs) if you are thinking to run GT30r

Hi there

Engine spec looks good and engine is build by Engine Tuner,speak with Alan and Martyn@ET about this engine

K1 H Beam rods are used mostly by EnginTuner,Wossner pistons are good pistons,14mm Headstuds etc. plus other bits there are which will save you money

TBH its going to cost more than you think, its all the little bits you dont take into account, bushes, more wear on the syncro's on the gearbox, bigger brakes, really bad fuel economy, a BIG hike in your car insurance (how old are you now? 23??), it just gets to a point where it tips and the balance v cost just go beserk, plus there are just no roads in the UK you can use that power, you have to take that into consideration too.
I would look at putting atleast 10k on the side and look at your running costs going up considerably, forget those 10k service intervals, its going to be 3-5k and alot of fuel useage :eek:

I only do 3-4k a year max anyway.. do oil change every 2k atm anyway running costs dont bother me at all
