what he said^

Now that we know your turbo, answer these questions:

What is your motor displacement, built or stock head, if built what parts? Drag or track, what will be your rev limit? Evo 8 or 9? Mivec head ?

I'd sell you my cosworth M3's but honestly those are much better for a lower displacement and high reving engine.


I would look into GSC S3 or GSC R2 if you have the proper valve seal clearances. In either case you will have to upgrade your valves, valve springs, and retainers.

Stick with the new billet cams as they are stronger than their cast counterparts and offer greater reliability, especially for the Mivec cam.

Check out this thread for more info, all of our specs are similar.
