I don't want to bother with Notching the Block so different Con rods will be needed and they will be a lot more costly
Crower.... but dont buy them down under. make sure you source from usa.
Stay stock man. Stock, keep the tune updated and u will be safe for years to come. FJT is a pourto rican who has been flogging of these cheap kits for a few years now. Generally they are regconised as very good value for money, but its not a traditional build. Execpt any engine builders to scoff at the parts and tell u everything is clearenced wrong.. But the general consensious is it works.
My advice though is stay stock. Builder only if u need too.
So there's no gains to be had from the bottom end kit?
THere only advantage of a bottom end kit is it is stronger ... and will allow you to run more boost... or you can slightly increase capacity.. oversized pistons... maybe a d17 crankshaft (unsure of possibilites there)
plus you make pickup a bit of power as its rebuilt and there will be less power losses from heat, friction, noise etc
It seems best to get another block,because they are cheap,bore it out,put in oversized pistons etc etc then when completed swap it in.Or if you were keen,P&P,valve job etc another head and swap it all in.
This way you can take your time and have fun.You will have spare parts from your motor now too.
Good to hear cause it definately seems the best way to go and the most funnest.No pressure.
thes look good
