Phase 2 - Relatively budget build of a the 2.0/ST170 route, may upgrade turbo to something a bit more manly, bigger injectors, hopefully will be around the 300-350hp mark
Phase 3 - PROPER build - CGI block, steel crank, steel rods, Cosworth Racing pistons, tubular manifold (over the gearbox type) etc etc
, power unknown!
I was gonna say I've got some parts that may be useful to you but if you are using blacktop engines with the FRS gearbox my parts will be of no use. I've just gone to a FRS box with the engine on custom mounts and a super dooper over the box manifold as my cvh manifold and turbo didn't really fit anymore.
