Sat down with my builder and set my expectations and budget. 500 RELIABLE horsepower. Didn't want to have to touch the motor again and wanted to freshen up everything internally.

We went with Eagle rods, Weisco pistons, .5 mil over bore, N1 oil and water pumps, Jun crank collar, Tomei oil pan baffle, Tomei engine gasket kit (including HG), APR head stud kit, Cams and cam gears, single turbo conversion!, Haltech!, upgraded 750cc injectors, 300LPH fuel pump, Orc twin clutch, Tial WG, 33 GTR transmission and a few more things I'm probably forgetting.

With everything set, dropped the longblock off and he got to disassembly.
The block would head to Tomei in mainland for a .5 mil over bore, hone and deck.

The head well..




With all the valve guides broken the builder recommended sourcing a new head to keep us in budget. Thankfully a local friend came through with HKS cams and cam gears for $300!

Coming apart


Jun collar


Old drive length


Finished result!


Still stocking parts! External oil cooler, R34 splitfires (Igniter delete), coolant swirl tank.


Tomei baffle




A few weeks later I got the call and said the motor was ready for pick up!







Old twins out



At the shop going back in (Anyone know how to embed Youtube links?)

Back at home, waiting for more parts to show!




Scored a awesome deal on a Greddy 4" intake and hard pipping kit! Also meant I would have to pull the intake in the car... again...








Figured new motor why not new look as well....

Covers are back from the body shop. Porsche Mint Green with rainbow flake.



Installed


Oil cooler installed and Greddy I/C pipping


As well as the PIA Greddy intake


As far as I can go, need the Tuner to fab and finish.


Car getting picked up.


Photos I got two weeks ago









The build is current as of now. Still waiting for the final touches and tune, the shop is in drift season mode right now, so the car is on the back burner.

I'll update once I get some more photos and hopefully a video or two.
