Camel Fiddler

I've seen this for sale:

If I got it, what else would I need to do to get it running in my car? I currently have a 1.8 black top, GT25R turbo, front mount, 355cc/min injectors, de-cat and 3" or so exhaust system. I think most things will swap straight over and my locked Pectel would need unlocking but easily remapped to run this engine with more boost than the 7psi or so I currently have. Turbo is GT25R (GT2554R) modified with 360deg bearings and was race balanced but think it needs rebuilt again as oil seals look dodgy.
So what boost could I run this set up and approx what power would it run reliably? Obviously need a clutch too so what does standard FRS clutch manage?

personally wouldn't bother buying that. you could build a bottom end with uprated pistons and steel rods for similar money and would be much stronger

I'm not after mega power as it's a daily driver so 260-280 would be ideal for me which I know that block would take. It's either that or find another 1.8 and keep everything original as possible.

theres a complete bottom end for sale on ebay. you might be able to get it abit cheaper and it includes all the other parts you will end.

That's £1000 for just the bottom end while the other one was £1000 for a short engine. Or how easily can a ST170 engine be turbo'd? I have a Pectel t2 so the vvc should be able to be calibrated for 4500rpm or so like a Honda VTEC?
I'm just exploring different ideas ATM so any ideas welcome provided they can achieve the above figures reliably and don't cost silly amounts.

I know of a focus RS,complete cylinder head and inlet for sale cheap too. If that's any help.

Camel Fiddler

Yeah could be depending on price.
What cost would I be looking at to get it working in my car?
