Just thought I'd show you guys pics of the new pistons I got from my girlfriend for christmas. They're 8.5:1 Ross forged for my KA-T, overbored .02 over. She bought em from KA24DE.com, in case you're wondering.
They're so pretty, its gonna be hard to hide them deep in the engine!
pics of my new pistons!

Lessee as far as internal work not much. -those pistons-clevite bearings (main and rod)-the whole block cleaned, balanced, o-ringed, bored, etc-no head work (okay maybe a light valve polish but nothin major)-stock rods possibly shotpeened
Fuel managment is going to be with a JWT ECU on 50# injectors and a JWT fuel rail, FMIC of course and an unstable-hybrids manifold. If I have the money I will try to get the MSD 6-a to boost my spark up. The turbo is going to be a T3/T04E .60 trim. I am basically copying Dennis' setup, except with the addition of the pistons/block work.

I am aiming for ~350 RWHP @ 15 or so PSI

after EVVVERYTHING? ergh I hate to add it all up, but
pistons: $500 machine work: $500-$600fuel rail + injectors: (got em used) $200new turbo: $600FMIC (ebay special): $300JWT ECU: $500UH Mani: $450BOV: $200Wastegate: $200Fuel Pump: $100Clutch: $300Exhaust: $200 (at the least)Misc: $250
oh god, it's alot.$4400 about. that'll prob be less than what it really is. Even that doesnt include things like guages, random stuff I break, etc. It's best to just not think about it and buy things bit by bit. heh.
People say you can get this done for under 2 grand (and sometimes for under 1 grand) if you scrimp and save. Well, I certanly will keep my eye out for used parts (I got a great deal on the injectors + rail already), but there are some things you just cant go used on. I donno what the final cost is gonna be really-- I just decided that if I'm going to do this, I'm gonna do it right: so there it is.
