Hi Guys
It's a 2.3 FOUR cylinder dry sump. That's a standard BEGI manifold made for the 2.0....but fits the 2.3 just the same. Motor built to easily make north of 500 hp but running smallish GT2871 turbo for max response and perhaps low 300 range because this car will see duty in XP class SCCA autocross against the XP FrankenLotus (Google it).
Having all sorts of fun fitment issues that we are working around.
Plan includes doing extraction hood to push a lot of air through this combo. ...as seen on our NCLIGHT

We won't miss that factory shock tower brace much....we made our own two point brace....AND this is a fully caged AND stitch welded car many times stiffer than stock.

So this is a 2.3 stock or is it a 2.0 with the 2.3 crank set up in it?
What will you be doing for engine management?
I have an MZR sitting here I can use. I am tempted to put the 2.3 crank in it.
What type of ftlbs would you expect someone to see at the 500rwhp range?
I cant to read more on this..

I've been thinking about moving my oil cooler to the same location as yours. Have you always run this set-up, and if not did you see a change in water temps? Right now temps are very good but the oil cooler is under the car and asking for a rock puncture.
