RCCAZ1- We order the engine from Koseki, they are awesome. Was hard try to communicate back and fourth for months with the language barrier, so thank google for that. Your guess on build price would probably be close, if a shop installed everything.
T-von- sometimes the figures jump fast in a build, no matter how mechanically inclined you may be. I know what you mean tho.
Bufferovrflo- Don't go out to meets much. Do you drive an FD? I go out to the speedway, and seen a couple Sheckweld FDs, and Autocraft has a couple too. not too many around here. It has the OEM tranny still with OS Giken gear set, and ikea Formula sequential shifter, upgraded the final drive with the diff too.

Was curious. I know the OS Giken hardened gears supposedly help. But the stock FD tranny does well up to what, 350 WHP? How much can the OS Giken setup really help?
Then again, I use a JDM stock tranny and haven't had any problems with my 3 rotor. I am not one to romp on it though nor do I go above 7,500 RPMs much either. I think I am comparing this buld the Defined's 26B and that is my mistake.

David Hayes- Thanks, yeah it shouldn't have any issues I would think. The engine has had a large street port performed(still side port) on it. As for comparing this build to Logans.. Him and his shop had intention of hitting the highest power, balancing chassis weight, and making it as light as possible. This is my cousins car that him and I work on at home. lol Yeah, I think that would be a mistake. Every build has it circumstances, and goals.
