cost of going for 550bhp?
Taken my 2005 blob sti off road for winter to hopefully get it to 500+bhp.. not sure what engine to go for tho. The car wilo mostly be used on the road with half a dozen track days a year...
current spec is
MD321T NON BILLET
650CC INJECTORS
HDI FMIC
GT SPEC HEADERS
RCM UP PIPE
BLITZ NUR SPEC R 3" TURBO BACK
3PORT BOOST
BC COILOVERS
CAMBER BOLTS
BREMBOS
Engine, turbo and injectors are to be sold hoping to get a second hand forged engine. . But what shal I go for 2.1 or 2.5? And which turbo?
Thanks ryan

Plan for car is
. Engine
. Twin plate clutch
. Creamic coat headers, up pipe, turbo (not decided which one to go for yet) and downpipe.
. Reverse inlet
. Fuel pump
. Injectors 1000cc
. Swirl pot
Probably loads more which I have forgot about...
would love a 2.35 but there the big ££££ dont think will have money for that

Find yourself a decent cdb. Depending on the spec of the build I'd say your looking at around 3k for the bottom end. Keep your heads and go from there. Bannys a good lad to talk to as he's plenty of experience with these projects. But that's where I'd start. Why 550hp anyway? That'll make a ridiculous road car

Its resleeved, but for more than 450ftlbs youd probably want to be looking for closed deck inserts.
The 2.5 is a great road engine though, so maybe pull back your power aspirations in return for a nicer road drive.... out of interest, wheres the 550 figure from?

Im a bit of a fan of a well built 257! :-)

Basically what im doing this, i got a 2litre cdb, cosworth pistons and rods, nitrided crank, mine will be staying a 2litre as i couldnt find cosworth stroker pistons at that time for the right money, i got hayward and scott rotated pipework, im using lateral modded 850 injectors and a non billet gt3076r blowing through jdm big port heads hoping to see 550 with a slash of meth

Tt's going to cost you a lot more than you think as its a slippery slope, 550bhp is a nice figure but its not very fast and when you push for more the costs spiral.
Best thing now is to spec for as high as you can as its so easy to change your mind so spec'ing low will just cost you more in the long run
Basically your spec is redundant so its all for resale so you need to think do you need all the grief

Ok I re read your first post and see you won't need the 6 speed, you have a front mount. But you said you want to go rotated in an earlier post, rotated pipe work is the best part of a grand, waste gate is £400, gt30 turbo is £1500, cone and silicone hose is £200, engine is gonna cost you £5k+, then your engine management, alcatek ecu is a grand, then you have all the sensors needed, that's another £500+, then clutch £1k (unless you have a suitable one now) fuel system etc.
£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!!!
