AnthonyM had a 450hp dyno proven 3SGTE.

AnthonyM probably has a lot of money too :P

I'd be careful of buying things on Trade Me unless you know parts well.
There are people on there who will try and sell you a CT26 that has been flowed blah blah blah and will support up to 450+hp.

I'm aiming for around 400 @ flywheel.

Fidanza lightweight flywheel with Xtreme uprated clutch.

Currently using the OE turbo while the rebuilt engine is bing run in, but will eventualy be upgrading to a GT30 with custom built tubular exhaust manifold.

Wiesco +1mm

Lyn Rogers worked head with HKS 264 cams and uprated valve springs

Nothing yet. Not on my list of things to do.

Bottom end has been fully balanced, block ultrasonically tested and oil galleries deburred.

Next on the list is an Apexi Power FC, custom built larger WAI pre-rad and a decent water spray bar. That'll keep me going for another 4500kms to allow the motor to bed in fully before I start throwing higher boost at it.

And as has already been said, it is not cheap - especially if you do things properly. Day dreamers need not apply :wink:
