Opinions from those that know? engine build....
I have my heart set on a new project, that is, to do what everyone else does!... Well not exactly.
First off I'm staying 2 litre....So there's no point chiming in with 'go a stroker'. I'm looking at sourcing a used v5-8 ej207 short and rebuilding it myself, with some added goodies naturally! Like these: There seems to be a lot of its around in the $8-900 range - all with either: Pistons: Wiseco/ Je/ Cp Rods: Eagle H beam / Manley H beam /Brian Crower H beam Every kit I've looked at is a combination of the above brands....Help! Who has experience with the above brands? recommendations? Along with Acl race bearings, Arp head studs, Oem head gaskets & a high flow oil pump. Then once the short motor is assembled & ready to rock, my current v6 heads will be sent off for freshening, the plan is to be set up with a set of Kelford 264 cams (either 199-C or 199-J - undecided at this point) & shimless buckets. I'm not aiming to make any more than 280-300 hp ath, but I do want it to keep asking for more. Turbo choice will be looked into AFTER it's in and well run in (5000 km), Plus I want to find the limit of the current VF29. The current bottom end is a tick over 230,000 km young, so I'm sure the inevitable will happen soon enough.... Thoughts guys?
