Default EF engine re-do!

hey all

just thought i might post up the plans for my EF - would appreciate some thoughts/comments etc! ;)

i've currently got a 1995 EF Futura - 275,000kms on the clock - recond head, stage 2 crow cam, exhaust, extractors, XR ECU, ported TB, etc - the usual base mods! puts out about 125-130rwkw now

i've recently purchased a 96 EFII Ghia wreck for $1200, so have a tickford engine to play with - 150,000kms on the clock!

so, i intend to do the following:

-use stock bottom-end
-ACL race gasket/head bolt kit
-adj timing chain
-surecam/ALTED cam - stage 3/4 or so
-unichip
-ported & polished head

plus will re-do all leads/plugs/gaskets/bolts/o-rings etc etc as well whilst its on the engine stand!

hoping to get 160rwkw once all said & done - i'd imagine its a pretty realistic aim?

as well as that, the car will also be recieving:

-EL GT swaybar
-3.45 LSD
-slotted rear rotors
-new BOGE shocks
-XR bonnet
-Seq scoop/airbox lid/pod filter
-new front tyres
-climate control
-rear electric windows
-high-spec carpet

so should be all good once its done!

nice to see your keeping us upto date uglybob
that Ghia was a real bargain, and easily the best way to go when you're modifying a car to higher specs (its what i did)
