I dream to hv a NA FA20 boxer with 275whp/250wtq redline at 9k rpm to satisfy my track needs!!

That's FI territory... And unless you want to spend formula1 cash. It ain't realistic!

I'm tempted to go FI (I don't care about the how as much... Just want the added power).

Definitely keen on following this build though

Why do you think its taking so long to build? Formula Cash is not made over night

In the past a build I did with stroker crank will power the TQ past the HP
It was a EJ22 with EJ25 crank 142WHP 168WTQ

I hope to see 275HP-300TQ, 300HP-325TQ

Exhaust will off the shelf looking for best high end power curve,
Intake will be a one off manifold, Look at the Lexus LFA for inspiration

Didnt like the Corsa exhaust?

I love the Corsa I want to compare power between other options. So I will dyno a few options out there.

Did you have a catless header installed mixed with corsa Cb? If so, what did you think of the sound?

Hahaha.

1. Congrats on your patience and hard work - I'm keenly following the results to see just what can be done with this kind of perseverance.

2. Your missus must be very patient (or perhaps slightly in the dark?) with your spending. Mine is already moaning about a simple SC I want early 2016. I managed to trade off with a little bribery - a promise of a holiday when I do my SC.

Looking forwards to the results (esp the TQ side... as that is really what this car needs - a nice shove in the back when you floor it).

My car is currently basically stock all the money and parts are on shelves waiting for the foundation to be finished.

Last leg of a 18 hour road trip to pick up a parts engine for misc parts.
Well worth it so I don't have to scavenge from the current running my engine in the car.

So while we wait for monies to build back up I picked up this other engine and started tearing it down to flow bench the heads.

Also interesting, I did not know our stock cams were hollow and the lobes pressed on.

Interesting. I'll be surprised to see if you crack much over 210whp. Ill be watching for SAE dyno sheets and the smoothing factor, none of these bs Dyno sheets with STD numbers.

Good luck tho.

I like how you slowly just ease a screwdriver into the hole and don't say anything :P
