NetWRX's 818C Build thread

[NetWRX]

I received my kit 12/2017 but have been lurking here planning this build with my son for the past year or so.

Our goals for this project are:

-Build a DD capable car that we can track occasionally,...We will be overbuilding in an attempt to achieve better reliability
-300 to 400HP
-EJ257 bored, decked and o-ringed, all forged internals with stock nitrated crank, ported 25b heads with 1mm oversized valves, beehive springs, stage 3 cams and head studs, KillerB oil pan and windage tray
-Fix motor for proper tilt and solid mounts
-Composite top feed TGV deletes with ID2000 injectors, Aeromotive fuel rails and a Walbro 450 Fuel pump with hydramat
-EFR7163 Twin Scroll turbo (eventually) we will start out with the stock turbo arrangement and KillerB header
-Air to water intercooler and external oil cooler
-STI running gear and 6 speed manual transmission with MR2 shifter
-Stock STI Brembo brakes and ABS
-integrate dash and console from donor, integrate a tablet into the dash for infotainment and ecu display/control
