Okay here it is folks the final solution to the drama that is my car!


After multiple emails to Dominic at MPS the car is moving from a homebuilt project with 350whp goal up to a full rotated build with 500whp.


This is how we are going to achieve it:


MPS 2.5l Long rod shortblock 8500rpm limit


New EJ257 Semi Closed Deck Case

STi Crankshaft

ACL Race Bearings

MPS +2mm Rods 4340 H-beam

Custom JE Pistons 

Full Blueprint and balancing


MPS Stage 2 Heads



+1 mm Valves 

High Performance Springs 

Ti Retainers 

Shimless Buckets 

New Valve Seals 

Kelford R-199-B Cams


Perrin GTX3576R .82 Turbo kit (reverse intake mainfold)

Perrin FMIC

Kakumei UEL headers

ID 1000cc Injectors

ACT Street Clutch

Grimmspeed TGV deletes

Stock oil pan with Covert p/u

P&L Air pump delete kit

Walbro 255lph


(other required parts, oil pump, timing kit, headstuds etc etc)


We are hoping for a fast spooling long powerband street car with all year round driveability.


Thoughts?

Sending my deposit to Dom for the shortblock on the group buy as soon as I get my final quote. Then once he has the custom JE pistons made il have MPS build the longblock and il trailer the car to have everything fitted and tuned. Probably take a few months till we drive it home but ready in time for summer 


Il let you know when Arthur in case your interested in a trip to see it?


Well the only other thing I will be adding is a lip kit, I have seen a nice one online and that's it. 


I don't want to go crazy with body kits etc, I love the way the car looks at the moment.
