OK, I'm sure this has been covered before but I'm looking for a more recent take on this. If you know of a recent build that matches this, post a link.
I have the OEM engine with a spun bearing.
Brief rundown,
The car has the FMII upgrade with hydra and 550cc injectors - 2560 turbo - FM Cast dump pipe and home made 2.5" exhaust with not rear muffler. 5psd box
The car is currently running a replacement MSM engine.
Now, considering the above and the fact winter is nearly here, themissus and I have a winter project planned involving the rebuild of the OEM engine.
The car is 99% daily driven at the moment with the hope of hitting the track once the new build is complete and then 3-4 track days a year, hopefully more.
I'll be doing track days not autox.
Budget is a definite factor in the build as I'm not made of money. But I need a budget 1st to work with.
Here are my thoughts at this time;
7500 to 8000rpm redline - FM do a head for ~$1250 I think - what's required to be able to hammer her with that kinda RPM
Internals - suggestions (assuming the crank/block are still serviceable), so far looking at rods/pistons
Extras/ancillaries - water pump, rebuild kits etc.
Thoughts?
