Well Iv'e done a heap of work on my 180. Respray etc etc... after a front ender. Had the engine out and did a heap of work on the outside but didn't pull the head from the block

Get the car finished and leave it with a mate to drive around to iron out any bugs. He rings me up and tells me its making a knocking sound.
Pull the engine and strip it down and find #2 big end has spun a bearing. F***ing sucks! Was previously getting 220rwkw will the usual upgrades: pump, reg, injectors, turbo uprgade, z32 afm, greddy intercooler, power fc.

I now want to do a heap of stuff to the engine
CP pistons .020" oversize
Eagle rods
264 degree cams
springs
ACL studs and bearings
Adjustable cam gears

My questions are:

What power figure could I be looking at getting when I am complete?

I am running a GT2871r turbo. What is this good for and will the internal gate cause me issues getting bigger power?

I am running 550cc Sard injectors. Do I need to upgrade to 740cc or something like that? (I feel this will be my biggest restriction)

Sorry about the long winded message but I wanna try and have my bases covered. So let my know what you think
