Hey all
Well i have an R32 GTST and i just had my head rebuilt...
and the bottom end is about to be rebuilt..
but i dont really know what with yet..
Basically i have 3 points i want to fulfil
1. 220 - 250rwkw. no more no less
2. Reliability
3. Response
I have a 3 1/2 inch cat back exhaust. Greddy EBC, HKS pod, and Apexi PowerFC
Now this car is always going to be my daily street driven car. so i dont want anything too resiculous. therefore i would be more than happy with 220.
but as it is my daily drive it needs to be reliable. and i want response
I have been quoted 3k for the bottom end to be done. that includes balanced and linished crank. stock rods, all new bearings and all. and some Arias (spelling?) 20thou oversize forged pistons.
down the track i want a cooler, finish my exhaust (from turbo to cat), and a better turbo. i dont know whether to hi flow or get a newy, i will get some 13bt injectors, and a fuel pump and reg. Also some Rb26 Cams would be good with some adjustable cam gears
overall budget is a problem.. things need to be relatively on the cheap side. though i dont want to do anything too half assed..
What can anyone recommend? what should i do to the bottom end? are forgies overkill? or will i need them for reliability? what turbo should i get for 220kw with response? would a hi-flow turbo be enough?
Any help appreciated. Thanks guys.
p.s Yes i did do a search and didnt really find anything that help about the forged pistons etc.. so i thought i would post it all up.. Thanks again
