and wat alot of ppl dont believe is his b20crx use a chipped ecu with vafc2 (wat 99% of ppl consider it as rubbish) and its is road tuned

last time he called me he sed they are getting a dyno, so look out for future projects

have you found anybody suitable or you getting this done in the US.

nope undecided as yet, waiting to get some time off to speak to some shops here in Melb, also most likely going to Calder this sat (big drag meet on) speak to few of my gf's uncles friends see what shops are around and also get this contact no for the shop in braeside (aparently employs over 20 staff, full machine shop, churns out proper race cars etc..) Ill try get it done here cos i already have a good motor, if not then usa it is.

Take it to Pavtek.

If they can build a Top Fuel engine they can machine a Honda engine. List of costs HERE.

thanks grumpy, ill check that place out some of the cars on their pages look very familiar (steves vk) and the ss ute. Anyway ill see what the have to offer.

ok i have chosen a block at last...

Going with a Dart block (closed deck bla bla bla) now which bore to get as i would really like it to be 84mm not 84.5 (just for future machining in mind for rebuilds etc..) now they have it in 81 or 82mm standard block or in 84.5mm block, is it recommended to get the 81/82mm block and bore it out to 84mm or get the 84.5mm?

Get the 84.5mm tall deck block. :thumbsup:

I agree with Adrian.

Do pauter make suitable rods for the tall deck and all that? dont know much about the tall deck option. If i was to go with 84.5mm would future rebuilds be safe at possible 85mm if it needs to be re bored. This will not be a street car too.

Hopefully i can save enough and maybe get a dart head or the new endyn heads but there $$$

its ok found what i was after (rod stroke details etc), just do pauter make the rods for this application? (tall deck)
