Ok so now I have to investigate the EJ20G price... I don't spose you have a link again

or save up an extra 10k for a cosworth crate motor

EJ20G??

WTF? Thats a Libbo RS block.

EJ207 or sleeved 205 will work just fine...good for 600 plus.

ok thanks phew... of course you have lost me with the whole sleeving thing.

Basically if it's an option not to be limmited to the 400hp on here Option 2 then that would be preferable of course (in case i inherit lots of money later and go further haha).

So is that stroker kit compatible with a sleeved 205? (here's where the technical stuff confuses me).

I'm assuming I'd save money with the sleeving now as to pulling the engine appart later down the track a second time to get it done.

I think that is confined to options with my imaginary inheritance

I'd go with a ej207, tuna netted over 400hp with it un-opened and that was with a vf35/34. also had some nice figures when he fitted the gt35.

Darkmoose...the bottom line is the HKS GT3037S adamh has is a lot larger than a hybrid VF! To enjoy his combo on the street and track he needs a min of 2.2 displacement and I am now even leaning towards a built 2.5 to spool that big puppy.

In the States they have plenty of EJ22 blocks that they would use to create a 2.3,4 or 2.5L package, personally I do not like the EJ257 blocks. IMHO they need to be sleeved before use on any hipo application. Why don't you work out a deal with this guy...he knows the $$ pain a hipo EJ257 package entails: http://www.rexnet.com.au/forum/index...pic=82424&st=0

See one of Tuna's 2L dyno plots below, overlayed is my old TD04. Guess who chops who from 2500rpm to 4250rpm Boost threshold can easily create a "Dog" as I mentioned before. Trying to get a balance that's affordable, fast and reliable is never going to be easy.

410hp > 220hp all day, every day, hyundai.

I'd rather have a 'dog' than a 'kitten'.

Boost is only a gear change away.

morgan all stace has to do is keep the revs at around 4-4.5000rpm and hell chop u every time...

Just because u have a bigger turbo dosent mean its going to less driveable. It just means u have to have a different driving style to keep it in the right power graph..

And a GT35R is a much larger turbo than a 3037 which is essentially a variant of the GT30R. so u will find it much more responsive on a 2ltr.

I however would go for a 2.2 min buildup but its hard to get a factory closed decked block these days, meaning u will have to close deck it urself.. If ur going to do that then u might as well go for a sleeved 2.5 block, essentially the same costing... more displcement and it can still rev out to around 8-8500rpm with the right cams...
