Small enough turbo+wastegate and you could have a 150whp tune. I just put a switch in that goes from like 5psi wastegate to whatever I want for EBC. Well maybe a bit more on a 1.8.

LOL I'm keeping an interior in mine, Laz will be faster no question. I'll be shooting for Luke and Nial's times. As long as I can get close I'll be happy and move forward I think I can.
Been thinking though... there's no way I'll last more than a year without boost. So boost will be happening, probably next winter. If I can run Richard's NA bits this year I will.

CSTG will be ready for you once Laz's MSM is done, Mobius's VVT is done, and the already-at-Mitch's-house VVT I refreshed last month is in and hopefully running in his NA.
I've already created a spread sheet for generic engine builds. This'll be the 4th engine in 2 months for me, with Luke's and others I'm sure coming later. Ranges from basic refresh to ARP built goodness like Laz's MSM. I simply plug in prices for items you want/need, and leave zeroes everywhere else.
You're currently around $1750 including parts and labor if we have to tear the entire engine down. :O I'm hoping/assuming we don't.

Yeah lemme clean it up when I'm back from vacation and I'll send it over to you. Nothing too interesting, just guestimating labor times, and for the stuff I don't do it's just the prices I've paid for head work, block work, etc.

I have been trying really hard not to get over excited about this shell. Tonight I went out to the garage and poked around, pulled the rear view mirror off.
I realized what a crap ton of work This is going to be.
Excitement slightly abated. I hope some of you homos will let me feed you in exchange for helping me work on my car.
Dreaming about this...
