Yep the 18R-GEU.
Power wise as much as I can get but No more than 150rwkw I don't really want to start playing with the bottom end too much.
This is really a learning curve sort of thing as I've never pulled an engine down or taken a head off. there are unanswered questions as to the current compression and engine size (ie could be 2.4lt probably 2.2lt) that I would like to investigate and basically get a little more aquanted with the internals of an engine and I'd like to replace the valve seals and springs while I'm there.
I do know that I'd like to drop the compression as a minimum, and I have a feeling the oil pump isn't a standard Item or it has been rebuilt. The whole engine was rebuilt only 40,000k's ago as an N/A track engine before I got it. unfortunatly the builder was doing 2 18R's simultaniously and can't remember the specs for each.
The Sump I'll have to look into.
BTW: I'll be super charging it with either S/C 12 or 14 depending on if I can fit a 14 in or not.
