so another update is that the project is taking a different direction,
i will no long be going the SR20 route,
now the plans are to got the 1UZ FE lexus v8 route
its something ive always wanted to do, and i feel like with the price and availability of engines as well as service parts form toyota SA it is a really cost-effective route to pursue once setup
the 1UZ is also an awesome engine, i love v8's.... who doesn't
a big factor as well is i feel kind of bad thrashing an engine you have spend loads of money on to be built right just for something to go wrong, i feel like that would always hold me back, where as with the 1uz with a couple bolts ons maybe a bolt on s/c or turbo etc, i wont feel bad using that engine to its maximum knowing the price of a replacement engine
these engines are also known for their reliability and resistance against abuse
well thats my reasoning and thought pattern anyway...
really amped and excited to go ahead with this,
was going to do this originally before my RB25 sx, so its been at the back of my mind for quite a few years,
time to pull the trigger
