Okay so i've been speaking about mods about my car for a while. new turbo, exhaust ect ect... and it goes on. Just never get around doing anything because of time factor. And now I'm thinking of going down the 3L road...
So what would i need for the build apart from:

new pistons (forged ofcorse)
Darton MID sleves xxxx MM
Bearings
crank shaft??? or stock one is fine?
what else??

then supporting mods would be
turbo probably gt30 or gt35 with an 82 A/R
custom 4" exhaust
custom downpipe
injectors, FPR, fuel pump
intercooler,
TiAL 38mm
intake
EMS... wolf v500 ?
Cams?? or stock is good?

ported head.... are lindsey racing heads worth the price? their stage 3 4 5 or 5+ ?

it seems like theres things missing?


Thanks guys

You would need the 3.0L crankshaft as well. It has an 88 mm stroke.
Check out these builds...

All you need is a whole lotta $$$

yeah i've been reading most of them. thing is... everyone does it differently or dosn't show everything they used. how about wider bore sleves with the stock
crankshaft? would there be a power or torque difference?

15-20k ?

Check these threads out. Spend a few hours going over them. There is tons of great info on various builds. This should defnnately help, just invest the time...

Use a 3L block and crank. For 3 liters, you need the 88mm stoke of the crank with a 104mm bore. The largest you can go with bore is 106mm using Darton sleeves in a 3L block.

Paulyy

out of curiosity whats the largest you can go with a 2.5L block

Good post Tom....sadly this is just the motor.

Exactly, and it's an incomplete list...

If everyone searched every question they had, we would have one VERY slow forum. Even more so than it already is

Besides, perhaps since those old threads were created new information has surfaced that has not yet been shared! Nope I don't have any... but someone might.
