Re: what to do with my engine?
Posting this again: what do you mean by built head? Springs/cams? Or 1mm oversize valves, porting, valve job, etc? A built head can cost over $1000 alone with parts and machine work.

Sorry I saw it but I didn't know exactly so I was gonna check and see then post up what it is.... I'm not sure yet but as soon as I know I will let you know...
Also, I'm thinking about just doing the built longblock but I am not 100% sure yet...

Re: what to do with my engine?
Do you know how much 25psi is in power? what is the reason for this number?
I believe you put 350whp is your goal, now since you are good friends with mike I am pretty sure that you will be wanting to make more once you get a little time at 350 (depending where you make it and how much response you like).
Just so you know everyone is helping to save you from throwing money at the car, a lot of us here have in the tradition of DSMs turned into mechanics/DIYers on these cars.
Good luck.

Well I was planning on 20 psi on the 7 bolt but with the 6 bolt I want 25 psi and at least 400awhp and If I do the built long block I want 450awhp..
I know you all want to save me money but this is my way of being fed up with my car and doing this will keep me from selling it like mr.98gsx...
I love my car and hope to never sell it... Im also getting it for a pretty good deal.

Re: what to do with my engine?
You can probably achieve 450whp without a built motor, just a thought. Especially on a DynoJet, no questions.

I know but If I build it now then my goals can go above and beyond what the current goals are on stock tranny so like I said 450awhp and then when I get the built tranny 550awhp! and from there idk but I'm gonna build it up the best I can little by little...
As for the head Its pretty much a stage 2 map head for about $1,300 or so... That I'm getting for a decent deal and putting my bc272s in..

Well this setup will last me for a couple years prob. but I dont plan on selling my car so....
Maybe little things here and there like fp manifold or a sheet metal intake manifold... different 02 housing ect...
For a 2g eclipse I think that its pretty good... but thats just me personally.

Re: what to do with my engine?
Ok well I'm 99% positive that I am doing a fully built long block and turning the boost up to 25psi!! After the breakin period of course...
I want 450awhp!! Just keeping those who are interested up to date with the motor build.

Re: what to do with my engine?
450whp on e85? Plan on spending $$$ if you want to get over that. Running dual pumps in a 2g seems to be pretty tough. And you could achieve that with a stock 6 bolt at DB, probably 520whp at MAP.

It's time to learn to use that round thing that you put your hands on. There's more to driving a car than going in a straight line.

HAHA, I know. Right now im all about the straight line, thats what my setup is good for. Im in the process of getting my coilovers put in when they arrive tomorrow.
Chris, if you want to buy my 1000cc injectors, I will sell them to you. I need bigger ones.

Re: what to do with my engine?
That's actually a decent mod list you have going.
Although I still do not think you need to spend money on a MAP Stg 2 head. This is just my opinion. If I was in your shoes, all I would do is get a very mild port done (basically clean up any casting imperfections), and get some basic spring upgrades like Crowers. Anything more then that, I personally think it's money spent better elsewhere. For you, I see you don't have a wideband on your list. I also see you're on an ACT 2100, which I forsee you running into issues with at that power level. You're considering E85 but still on 680 injectors. That, and possible fuel pump upgrade, are both things you need to take into consideration if going to E85. All of those things I would definately consider money better spent IMO.
But looks like you're going to have a fairly solid setup, good luck with it!
