Ok after reading this entire thread... i must say. Instead of upgrading the dated Gen1 block. Why not update the whole package for a Gen2 (engine/gbox).

Gen1 block really is limited. Poor cooling, Rather weak bottom end, shitty flowing head, as compared to a Stock Gen2 block.

Get yourself a halfcut, pull the engine out, uprate the headgasket and the clutch while its out, install it. Fiddle with the wiring (not hard, and this guy www.gtfour.ca documents it for you) and tada, you end up with a much better setup from the get go.


Also, don't refer to boost levels as any measure of power. Whats stopping me from installing a T66 and running 12psi thru that. I garuntee the block won't last long... You should be refereing to Cylinder pressure instead.

Just my 2cents worth.
