I'm quite interested to see how it goes for the amount of money he spends.

Yeah, i guess anyone'd want to justify their purchase to everyone if they went and did something like that... :)

I think there will be a few aussie built motors ready to compare.

I think you have been out of the scene for too long there ALLMTR a S/H Vtec head will cost upto $1000 these days and you missed the Vtec conversion kit and tuning,but as most know the rest is correct.Our current V2.5 B20 Vtec bottomend cost just over $4000 to build and we used all OEM parts other than ARP rod bolts and Golden Eagle Vtec conversion kit and Cometic Head Gasket,OEM main bearings & Clevite rod bearings and also ARP Head stud kit and all other gaskets are OEM and was fitted with a new late model B18C oil and water pumps.Now using a complete STD ITR cyl head fitted with my headers and CAI tuned with Hondata S200 this setup made 123kw on Bel Garage's dyno and ran 13.4@101 mph in a DC2R and rev's to 8400rpm all day,very cheap power and its great fun to drive.

So all up built, tuned and ready to go would be approx $7-8k?

Yeah and in a 700kgs car would run high 11's low 12's with the correct COMBINATION of chassis and gearing.
