so heres what i plan to do for this winter.

new factory short block
spec stage 3 clutch, holds to 568ft/lbs.
fidanza flywheel
apexi super afcII
greddy prefec b spec II
koyo 2 core radiator
samco radiator hoses

also possibly a new fuel system with 550cc inj. hi-flow fuel rails and a bigger pump. not sure yet tho.

now i just have to wait a few weeks to make some money to buy all this stuff.

what do you guys think, anything i should add on not add?

Sounds like a nice plan! Maybe look over the engine and replace any oem parts what may be going bad? Belts, plugs, hoses, etc

its been off the road scince january due to what seemed like bad heads, so those where compleetely overhauled, and then a few other things happened. i had the engine "running" in september again but it the block is compleetely shoot. so basically by the time im finished i will have replaced just about everything.

Check engine mounts while engine is out. My rear one just fell out. There was NO sign that anything was up either. :)
What fuel pump are you running?
Are turbo's stock?
Are you data logging?

There's a start. ;)

yea im here somewhere, killin my self with two jobs that dont pay enough, trying to find 1 job that will pay better. trying to get myself back into school. trying to start annother business. and trying to fix my car. ive got a long road ahead of me. but im still here somewhere.

As an old Jedi friend of mine once said.....

DO OR DO NOT. THERE IS NO TRY! :)

So obviously NO further news on your car yeah???

Scotty

no im still undecided on the engine block, my cheapest way out is a used engine, but then again its used, i can buy a built block but i wont be able to afford that for a few months, like till june, lol, or i can buy a new oem block but that will take a while to get here for no apparent reason. no matter which way i look at it i wont be doing any work on the car until march at the earliest, it will warm up and there will be a few people around who will be able to help me do a tear down and rebuild in two days or less.

Man, it's awesome you have friends that can help you with engine builds and all the other shit you can do. Keep us posted yeah.
