Project 3 litre

[J50N WA]

I have a project for winter and need some help and ideas.. Just bought a 3 litre engine for the Noble and am now working on the plans of what to do with it.

Current setup is a 2.5 litre, 5 speed with LSD, it has the exhaust off a 3 litre fitted (not standard item but not sure of the manufacturer) and a slightly larger than stock Faulks I/C, MBE ecu, TDS.. The new engine is rated to 500bhp has a new oil pump and has a TDS..

I need to make a list of what is needed to make this work.

As this is a fresh build I could go with almost any spec setup, how would you run? Initial thoughts are the gearbox will need strengthening, I will at least need new manifolds and turbos (or do I go single turbo), possibly exhaust, and fuel pump.. then there is the ignition side of things..

has anyone done this before? or know of specific differences between the 2 engines...I have searched with no luck.

Is this a new car or a engine transplant? If transplant what did you need to do..

Yeah I also have this on the Facebook page, just trying to reach a wider audience.

many thanks to all with input.

I have the engine, loom (MBE onwards), injectors, fuel rail and now a Pro Alloy I/C. I need manifolds, turbos, fuel pump as main components. My existing exhaust is from a 3 litre (its not a standard item tho) so should be good. Apart from various pipeworks am just reaching out to see if there are any gotcha's, good to hear about the engine mount..
