best thing for you to do mona if all you want is 250 KW is just buy a bare motor and put your bolt ons on it.

Otherwise if you do want more power

$$$$$

depends what you wanna use the car for in the end

Im selling my car cause ive got a new project comming

aiming for the 800Kw mark and in the mid 8 second passes.no point in wasting my car just sell it and start fresh

Interesting. Buster's right. They all have their place and not just from a performance perspective. There are other things to consider. I looked at the rebuild NEO or go RB30 thing recently when mine blew and decided that the rebuild suited me best. I'm happy with my choice and enjoying it.

from what it seems its overly sensitive. this can happen from having the sensor to tight.

the pistons are perfect. not a whisper of detonation

I got this problem with my 3 litre.. it allways knocks on the PFC but we can never hear it at all!!!

I took it to many dyno's and they tuned it with knock levels of around 100 yet there was no detonation because we could not hear it at all.

They told me to ignore the knock level because its not knocking.

My knock sensors used to work ok till the 3 litre went in to maybe we tightend them up too hard ??? how do you know when its in too hard ??? how to you get it right ?

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
