Well thought best do little update on build, I have decided to not do forged build for moment and have got low mileage 2jzge coming in next few weeks which will replace head gasket for standard tt one to lower compression to 9:2:1 and fit the Whifbitz na-t kit with greedy ecu just so can get car up and running again and enjoying her again.
Going to paint engine bay and do slight wire tuck before engine goes back in.
Then once all up and running will start on some of the bodywork, before start the forged block build, I know will cost more in long run but after loss of young friend it's made me realise got to enjoy life more and don't want to have car in garage for couple years doing build.
Am going to aim for about 450bhp with the ge engine and Whifbitz kit to keep gearbox happy and working.
Then once start forged build can get better gearbox aswell and do complete change over with aim to run 600-700bhp using my Nos system aswell.
