I believe that the 2.1 will make respectable (enough) power and have a longer life expectancy than a 2.5.

2.5's can be built strong, like Tino's but at huge expense.

^^Tend to agree, I would hate to think what Tino's cost to build, but it is a masterpiece.

Don't have the funds, well I do, but not the war office (wife) approval.

Thanks for the feedback.

Keep us posted with it all Gav, will be good to watch, and I'll be interested with the final results!

Will do, Rossco's thread got my juices flowing, it's what made me decide to do it all again after I sold you all the other set-up I had.

I've decided to go for the closed deck 2.1 option (Same as yours), I sourced the crank from the USA brand new for just over $500 AUD delivered, got the ARP head studs, hopefully Rossco can hook me up with a full gasket set and new water pump

Will get Kelford 264, 10.5mm lift cams, if Prospeed hurries up with my special price!!

As a side note this same set-up on Jim's (Bluestar Subaru) but with normal cams made 226kw and 398nm at the wheels on 1.3 bar of boost...

cheers

Pm required Gav!!

^^Got you covered mate, asked for a price for 2 sets (I read your mind a few days back).

cheers

I ended up getting the kelford 264's but just went direct as needed them asap. Got a bit of a steal for them as well. Will be interesting to see the difference of yours, mine and Ross' when they're all done.

I'm building a 2.1L soon just waiting for parts to be ship in from the U.S. my goal to build this 2.1 to get 280-300kw within long life term and stock ecu flash. Better than buying ej257 stock motor.... wasting money/time. Been there, done that. End of the day is all about $$

Welcome to 2010. The future needs you back now.
