Drag Race ShortBlock Build (Yes, another one)

[Ralph99GST]

Hello,

I'm about ready to place my order for a rebuild of my bottom end with much beefier parts. I'm posting this to have some experts check over the list to see if I'm missing anything or if something can possibly be better (please show me the estimated price, also)

I don't consider there to be a budget on this but I don't wanna spend a fortune also..

Here is the list I've compiled thus far.

The goals for the car are sticking to 2.0L and reaching 550+ AWHP using a GT35R or equivalent with room to grow if needed.

8.3:1 Ross Pistons (.020 over)
Crower Rods
Fel-Pro Permatorque HeadGasket
Power Enterprise Timing Belt (<b>I think theres a better belt?</b>)
ARP HeadStuds
ARP Main Studs
ARP Rod Bolt Kit
ACL Race Main Bearings
ACL Race Rod Bearings
Balance Shaft Removal

Machine shop to knife edge crank

Blue printed/balanced

Also using all new drive belts, oil pump, water pump, and oem gasket kit for intake mani/exhaust mani, etc.

Thanks for advice/criticism .

If this is an all out build you might want to consider using ARP L19 or A1 Technologies headstuds instead of the regular ARPs.

A1 Technology-$380
Slowboy Racing :: DSM :: Engine :: Fasteners :: A1 Technology Race Head Studs


ARP L19-$280
EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - ARP "L19" Headstud Kit: Mitsubishi Eclipse 6-Bolt *SALE*

You might be able to find better pricing elsewhere, I just did a quickie search for links.

Definitely gonna need to use a different head gasket. Either a Titan, or Cometic!

He's not talking about a standard Fel Pro gasket.
The permatorque MLS has proven itself.

With those mods and sending it off to the machine shop. Do I need to buy anything else, or is that 100% it ?

Technically the head gasket and timing belt aren't to be sent.. but the pistons, rods, bearings and main studs ?

do you plan on getting the block o-ringed if you have the extra cash you might as well get it done and possibly look into a copper head gasket they work amazingly.

^^^o-rings is overkill and you are already going a good route. You just have to make sure the block and head are machined to 50RA or better for the felpro. toss some ARP L19's or A1 tech's headstuds and you are good to go.
