Not bad but I heard motors from tiger were junk how long did the swap take and what kind of power are you looking for and what goals are set ?

sorry i guess i should list some of the parts and my goal is 300whp.
i have this set up from h-dev.co.uk stage 3
* Free flow air filter HKS
* Free flow exhaust RSR
* Boost controller 18psi boost pressure BLITZ
* Uprated intercooler
* T28 hybrid turbo
* Uprated fuel pump walbro 255
* 444cc injectors
* Z32 AFM
* Super unleaded fuel (>97 RON)
* oil cooler
* mis ?? aluminum Rad
* JUn fly Wheel
* JGY 6 puck clutch
* tomei Short shifter


I think thats all the important stuff as far as power is concerned. my old ca was never put on the dyno, so i dont know exactly how much power it was making. With this same basic set up,but leaked out of every seal. But i have lots more pics too if anyone wants them? i still have some little stuff to finish this weekend like a few leaky NPT oil fittings. The second time i started the car and the first time i brought it to temp it started to run really bad, when it got hot. I am thinking it might be a bad temp sensor?? i have to fill the diff and trans up too, Anyone know a trick?? im really not looking forward to it. lol
Anything else you like to know?
