Hello Everyone
 Because of my love for the BA falcon And my thirst for more performance Im planning on Building up an engine. I'm Sadly still on my P Plates and will be on my opens july next year so i have some time up my sleeve to get this done (And saving because I'm only on a small wage)I have bought an Engine Stand and am getting a Good Condition Barra motor from some localish wreckers on Friday hopefully! (They tell me they all have less than 150,000, however i don't see that this matters as im fully stripping her down?) Only $220! (bare motor) Can't go wrong  lolOnce the engine is done i will be getting a BA car I was thinking EX taxi? Unless there is a reason i shouldn't? So Plan is for this to be turbo. What can i do to this engine to get it tough and ready for a Turbo? I have looked at Atomic Performance Parts and Nizpro Havent worked out prices with Atomic yet but Nizpro Looks WAY out of my budget lolSo please guys any advice would be great Thanks guys!

in turbo form you can get 500hp at the engine from a stock bottom end,
500hp at the wheels is going to need a decent bottom end eg rods and pistons ect... n/a, be willing to spend 20g to get that sort of power.... |

I'm looking into it Its a project for me to do over 1-2 years so we will see how i go i suppose 500HP at the engine might be what i will have to go for. However im Looking online and still think i might upgrade pistons and conrods Still allot of research to do Thanks for letting me know!

From looking into it more, i think i will aim for around 400kw at the wheels. thanks

I think it will be worth it And over a couple years that much money doesn't seem like too much, I think i can get away with it and the Missus won't get mad hahaI just need to decide what parts im going to go for. Decide what i can make myself and what i will need to buy. And go from there
