Building new RB20, what to get?

[sleak]

I just bought an S13 with an RB20 in it. The rb was dead when I bought it and we just took the motor out today. Now I was wondering what should I do to the motor before I put it back in??

It has a T3/4 turbo, wolf 3d computer, and fuel reg/pump.

I was thinking just some forgies and a HKS head gasket, then some injectors when I get it going.

anything else I should look at?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

272degree camms, even if only for the sound. got them in mine and makes a big difference. also if you are going the forged postions, get the tomi 2.3L kit this uses tomi pistons and rings along woth GTR crank and rods. Once again this make a massive difference.

yeah but costs a shitload of money. If you get the metal gasket then you'll probably have to get the block o ringed to suit and if you aren't pushing out massive amount of horsepower ie. 300 rwkw then you need not worry about going to all the trouble of the metal head gasket. They don't seal too well and you will constantly blow it if you don't install it properly or you run too much boost. All I can say is...If you are going to do it ALL, you will have to spend a lot of money. Otherwise just throw some forgies in it, get some 272 cams, adjustable gears, bigger injectors and you should push about 350hp at the treads, maybe more.
