Ok basically i have 2 options.
1: Get a standard rebuild, Inc Forged Pistons ect and seals/gaskets replaced, pumps ect.
2: Get a Complete build done, forged everything, a very strong engine.
I have to make a decison soon i am deffently getting one of the 2.
There is around a $3000 difference in price, My power aim is about 250-260rwkw i dont want more then that, Currently at 190rwkw.
Current mods are:
Front Mount Intercooler
HKS Boost Controller
SAFC-2
Boost at 12psi stock turbo
full 3 inch exhaust from turbo back + high flow cat
I am going to get the safc removed and go for either an Emanage Ultimate or a Power FC. Id like to know peoples thoughts on these, Ive read the Emanage Thread on here and im impressed with the unit and it seems a cheaper alternative to a power fc and they are readily availble. So what to choose, Do i look around for a power fc (Spend $1500 on ebay) or do i get an emanage ultimate.
Mods im planning on after the build is:
HKS GT-RS turbo kit
550cc injectors
upgraded fuel pump
Engine Management
spilitfire coilpacks
Now My question is, Giving im wanting the 250-260kw and my 2 build choices, If i go for option 1 i can get 1/2 of the mods i plan on doing after the build, where as if i choose option 2 even though it will be stonger, the $3000 more it will cost i wont be able to get the other bits for a while. Should i just get a full rebuild and wait or will a standard rebuild with Forged Pistons and a thicker head gasket do the trick?
