Got any pics of the build or final product?

Did you do the heads and replace cams/springs too ?

Pictures would be nice...keen on seeing that piece of art ;)

[QUOTE=drewgong;782596]im very interested in numbers and cost too mate, my 257 will prob be in for the same deal by the end of next year. dont know whats happened to yours but i think mine is doing the whole 1 cylinder dying.. not dead or close but consumes oil on hard boost. was going to blow it up first but leaning towards what youve done and just getting the internals replaced and a safe tune. what is your power target for the motor? ill be aiming 300-320hp atw, with as much response and torque as possible[/QUOTE]

2 cylinders down, Broken ring glands mate. Car was using around a litre of oil a week as a daily driver not under boost. I still have the pistons.

Now I am pulling 260, Cosworth pistons, rings, Cosworth head gaskets, Cosworth bearings, ARP head studs SCAT rods, timing belt, water Pp, Block honed and bored, Crank ground and polished and Heads done. Sorry I do have a more detailed list but left it at work and I am on 2 weeks holidays.
Oh tune is mild too due to new engine Sean said to take it back once I get some more Klms on it and he will spruce it up.

Power target?????? Depends how bored I get Hahahahahahaha Same as you wouldn't mind 300 - 350 hp

No point putting pics up it all looks standard LOL. I will once I get my new rims though.

Cheers for disclosing your problems mate, i think my stock internals are on the same path.. mines knocking back about 5-600 mls a week now so im counting down. sounds like a pretty solid build anyways! will be stalking your progress :)

Like ya forester mate, Spoke to the boys at ASG about e85

stock turbo ?

Stock turbo mate, that's next turbo and front mount + set of rims from USA "MB battles".

Any thoughts on turbo ?

My battles are nice but you'll need pretty crazy width and offset for them to look baller.
