I don't want to do that again

And what i mean by that is pull my engine. I have spent the last week pulling the engine on my FD so i can get it ported. Everyone that was capible of doing it waanted around 2k to pull it and put it back in, so i figuerd i would do it my self and learn a few things.

Well i learned that it sucks alot to do, but i am happy with the outcome. Just not happey enough to do it again. So i am just going to get it all built up and done it one shot.

So its getting ported, a new gt35r turbo, all new fuel system with 1600cc injectors backed up by a power FC, HKS twin power ignition system, AVC R boost controler, Greddy 3row front mount, Spec 4puck clutch, mmm i'm probably forgetting something by i was wondering if anyone has a similar set up and about how much rwhp am i looking at. O i am going to keep it at 15psi on pump gas for street and 18psi with race gas for track.

Porting your motor, getting a PFC, upgraded injectors + HKS ignition along with a new single turbo set up will have you in the BLING BLING range of the upper thousands half if anything. Expect a very very vey happy smile to be on your face when everything is completed and tuned.

Its all going to run me around 10k. I alreadky have a big smile on my face just thinking about it, I probably wont be able to get it off when it is doen, (the smile).

I was told that I will be able to breake my engine and clutch in without it getting tuned right away. Because the power FC was going to come pretuned for 92octane. I don't want to smoke this bling bling engine out before i get it on the dino to get really tuned in. Any thoughts on that?
