To E7-S14 yeah thats fine, the motor isnt going anywhere. And if you have 250whp in a ka your prolly making atleast that much torque. So yeah, you will be able to destroy tires pretty easily.
Ive managed to eat through a set of g-force sports in about 6 weeks with my sr. and thats just beating on it.
Ok, now this gets long. So dont worry about reading it if you dont want to.
But in all honesty. I would get new pistons, JE pistons will be fine. New timing set and oil pump. Go with OEM for these, DO NOT SKIMP. You will need to have a machine shop check your crankshaft to make sure everything is all good. If it isnt, you can either have your crank polished or turned. If it gets turned you would have to purchase over sized bearings.
But have your cylinders bored. (You need the pistons first before this gets done, becuase they will hone each cylinder per piston. the pistons will be numbered when you get them back.) If you are reusing the rods, you can have the ends checked to make sure everything is to Spec or True. Then assemble the bottom end following the fsm. Make sure you have a good torque wrench. Also, be sure you put engine oil on every bolt before you put them in.
As for the head, i would get a valve job, valve stem seals and just have the machine shop make sure everything is in spec. That is probably the most important part. The machine shop should be able to assemble your head for you. be sure to use all new gaskets and what not.
Or you could just do it like jordan and devon. You might get lucky
