[starletburkie]

head work and cams will be on your list anyways man, standalone ecu aswell

[Asad]

get some decent quality rods and pistons (ross and pauter is what i would choose)...go with arp head studs....p+p the head....uprated head gasket.....race inlet (mabe?).....standalone...get rid of the dizzy....cams...and a dirty big turbo....3" exhaust etc etc

plenty of info about check the high power builds out (socks, spuddy etc etc)

I'd personally go with Race-tech over others: http://www.race-tech.net/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2_42&zenid=bd8d8f9f39f191731b9d724a2693f298

il be in oz so the car will be fully built by him just have decide what turbo and what internals im going use

[shorty]

Internals wise you want it light, well balanced and stong! If your looking for 400 go 5e as the 4e will be more challenging to get 400 from. socks engine is a racerech built engine so as iddy said race tech are who you need to talk with. they also know drag cars. failing that zisco on tgtt (kieth is also on here through sikillamart) the malta boys from zisco are drag mad and have got serious bits of kit available for drag starlets!! Id strongly suggest speaking with them. Alot of spuddys bits are built by zisco and assembled by east coast customs.

[Socks]

Id do what Idrees said...

Cannot fault my engine or turbo kit. Its beyond words how it performs really!

Depending on your budget take your pick!

My target is 400bhp on pump fuel on a 4e...

I bought a serious spec Forged Glanza to swap the running gear into my boxy for a turbo conversion but funds don't allow it. I want to bring my car to England so need funds. I have a great forged engine for sale big spec I will be starting a for sale thread tonight or tomorrow

i seen that also but i wanna build me own and have it ready for when im back

[rinseep82]

All my parts have just come back from the balences so I'll b building my engine on Sunday I'll be taking plenty of pics as I do it so keep an eye out for my build thread

[AdamB]

Pauter rods, wiseco/ross pistons, 1.6mm headgasket, port and polish, cams, standalone ecu, coil on plug gt30 turbo and a 3inch exhaust ;)

[shorty]

JE pistons and custom rods all the way haha. Nothings better than building your own engine tbh.

[_shaun_]

as above if u can build it urself. far more rewarding than just giving a garage a pile of cash and saying give me more power. i went for ross pistons scat rods for the 5e but am yet to work out what spec i want for the head

[rinseep82]

I have ported polished head cruise valve springs pec rods weisco pistons 1.9 Athena head gasket acl bearings polished crank lightens flywheel exeedy paddle clutch everything balenced can't wait to start building it

[shorty]

Im not even going to list my full spec lol. Is a bigger sence of achivement imo when you build it yourself.

Rinse-what turbo you going for dude? 1.9hg is big will kill alot of off boost drivability tbh. pm me if ya dont want to say out loud what your planning ;)

[rinseep82]

Tdo5 16g wepr kit Im gunna go for Dave a tm bless him told me that the 1.9 runs really well with pec rods that's y I went for it

[Taggy]

yeah I agree with above, research it and learn how to build it your self. It will be much more rewarding and you will save you a big whack of money which you can pour back into the build
