Well engine has been stripped down and sent off for all machine work plus balancing! Everything is cleaned, crank crack tested all ok! Con rods shot peened :) and new forged pistons fitted... Hopefully get it all back by the end of the week and might up load some pics before it gets rebuilt. Still stuck on what bloody turbo to use??? And manifold?? Or should I just get a custom one made when engine is in car??? Also thinking of custom made inlet manifold with bigger throttle body, and extra injector run by HALTEC aftermarket ECU!
Now the HD clutch you talk of... Where do I get it?? I could only find something in the UK...

Cheers boys ;)

Resurrecting this. Where does one find forged internals for the F8C engine (aside from custom building them using the stock parts as reference)? Google has not been good to me on this.

I did a turbo conversion on a Matiz and now I'm doing research for future upgrades.
