Wrong. Lol
I bought the head from Matt a while back for the first RB i was building. When he joined in on Krome, we decided on the same build, so he picked up the 25 and put the head on it. None of the parts were extra(except the harness pieces) the rest was bought for the build.

We used the 26 head for the smaller combustion chamber and so the itbs would bolt up.
The 25 is non vct from an r32.

Power- id say 2000gt's estimate would be more promising. We were estimating it might be somewhere around a stock sr20det. But since he already has a similar setup, I'd say what he said.

Ray, you are right about the rest though. I traded/gave the car to skrappy, they put the 25det in it and sold it to graff. He's deployed right now, so it won't be making smoke for a while.

The engine is with Matt, torn down, once he gets back to the states, he's building it up again. I have 90% of the parts to build a second one. Once my stuff gets here, I'll slowly be building another also. But the other projects come first now.
