What is the differance between the 2.5 and 2.3lt block are the bore walls diameters bigger to allow for a bigger bore?
Yeh if it is going to run me up to 10k just for the engine I supose not?
Steve are you talking about brand new parts I am looking at second hand.
Also not looking at getting ITBs as this would be a learning project as well I would probebly look at making something like this intead,
I know I am crazy. lol just a thought at the moment. depends if I can get my hands on soildworks and buy a 3d printer.
Cheapish 3D printer
What I would be looking at getting is
Block
Head
Cam carrier
Cam Cover
Crank
Timing chain and guides.
Everthing else will be custom or after market. That means
Valves, springs, retainers, caps, guides, cams, buckets and shims, pistons, conrods, dry sump (maybe), exhaust and intake system, and fuel delivery. Will be aftermarketLast edited by Massimo; 04-04-2012, 09:33 PM.sigpic

Well like I said Ill probably turbo the M42 before I go the S14. But yeh I deffenetly want an S14, the sound they make is addictive and I want it.
On another note thinking about a Euro 2lt version. I have been contimplating competing in the 2lt sports sedan series here, this would be a great motor to use.sigpic

dude, a 300hp S14? you understand your talking about easy $12K+ motor build
and trying to source parts seperatley will always cost you more than buying it all together.
If you want 300hp why not go with an S50/52? way, way, WAY cheaper than trying to squeeze 300 out of a S14
with over $6K+ into my S14, Im still under 200rwhp so say its around ~240hp at crank :(

The 2.5 blocks have lots of extra webbing for rigidity and provisions for squirters.Originally posted by Massimo View Post^
