Nice build. Like the idea of increased displacement paired with a centrifugal blower. Will the final product see a race track? Would be a shame to build something to this level and not take it out where it can set some proper lap times (coughcoughcough). Nice!

how nice if you can work like that, I guess you make it that way that you can replicate all the items if you need more or do other conversions?

Really nice pieces. It looks like the build is coming along quite nicely. Would love to drive the final product, but videos will do just fine tongue out

What kind of final figures are you going to shoot for in terms of weight, torque etc?

I know I've said it before, but I think it's smart of you guys to go with the K20 and increase displacement. So much after market available and so many tuners to pull existing information from. Very smart.
