FBM Stage 3 Shortblock or Outfront Closed Deck
Hi!
I am in the process of deciding what engine to use for my fully built GT86. It will be a daily driver and a weekend track car, turbocharged with FBM Stage 2 kit for faster spooling and the goal is about 5-600WHP. Not a drag car though. What engine would you recommend for long term reliability and power gains? 1. Outfront Motorsport Closed Deck 2. FBM Stage 3 2.2L big bore sleeved? Heard good things about both. Thank you |

I’m not sure which will be best, but I am curious what your plans are for the transmission at that power level. Are you building it too?

As far as I could see it takes ages and lot of money to build a reliable transmission so it might going to be a Quaife Sequential Gearbox. Hollingers are damn expensive, and they are very noisy as I read. |

Have fun daily driving with a Quaife sequential. It's a dream on the track, and somewhat tolerable on the street. I would hate to daily drive it..

If I had to do a build right now, I'd be going with Element Tuning based on their experience in improving the oiling system and aiming for durability in a racing environment. |

I do not mind spending +15k than I'd do with engine swapping, I just want to do it the right way. I also follow FBM, have a quote from them and they are my No.1 option now. I just read many closed deck info and reviews in the recent weeks so I though it worth asking. How much stronger they are etc... But I never found anyone actually tracking an FBM build heavily |
