Dannng Pdiggs! That is what I'm talkin about!

So far so good. Great choices. I have the same weight and designed FW, but made by Competition Clutch.

Check this out tho. There is a compression ratio calculator in C-speed racing web site. Since you are using a B18B crank with a set of JE 9.0:1 compression pistons (for a B18C), this will affect the rod/stroke, thus alters your "actual" compression ratio. Gotta get thel cc dome size also for the calculation.

I see that you will also be setting this up for a future turbo project. I'm sure you've heard of flat dished piston being better for turbos due to its ability to retain more air volume.

AEBS and GE makes better head studs as well, but for your application, ARP is good enough. It's only about $15-25 difference.

GE blockguard or Race Engineering are both great blockguards.

Finally, the turbo selection. I'm not sure what T3T04 you have in mind but a GT28RS is fucking badass! All GT series are. I wouldnt get anything lower than a .60 trim 63 A/R. I wanted to get a GT40RR or at least a GT35RS. I want to be at 75-80% of this SC61 while preventing adiabatic stage.

Anyway, I'll be in and out. I'm really excited for you man. No one here on this board builds a motor for turbo. I cant wait to see your progress.......
