motor blew, would like confirmation on if what i have planned will b enuf..
sooo the motor finally went, threw a rod right through my upper oil pan, and left a hand sized hole 0.o...obviously money is a factor but its more like id want to keep it 5k or less and have 650 at the wheels (will be doing the work on it so it is a matter of parts)
JE pistons
Carillo rods.
new pumps (water, oil)
new timing chain, tensioner and guides.
3 angle valve job
new Valve guides
JWT Cams and valve springs
this is the list of the motor im looking at picking up
anyone can throw in their two cents
im already thinking of acl race race bearings but thats it for my ideas.

If your on a budget the Brian Crower Camshafts and valve springs are reasonably priced. Not sure of the mileage on Timing Chain but they should be good up to 250K-300K, replace tensioners.
HR headgasket and block mod is cheaper solution to the $200-$400 for Cosworth, HKS ETC cosmetic headgaskets.
Head assembly or engine overhaul gasket kit whatever works better for your application.
I got an excellent deal from Injected Performance to finish my FP STG 1 SB (Valves,Springs,camshafts,headgaskets,studs).

Look at tons of parts on my350z and g35 parts in the engine classifieds. Lots of them are new and selling for 20% off or more. I would also look into options of dropping a ls1 motor if you can source it out for cheap. The cost would be $5k-$8k depending on what motor and if you just buy a block from junkyard and build it up. If you are doing the labor your self than that will help you save a ton of money. If you decide LS route than I personally would stick with ls1 and build it with cams and heads. If you go with iron block then never again do you have to worry about a rod through the block. You can always sell your turbo kit and motor to help with the cost of the swap. just throwing in my 2 cents worth.

Just use a rubber mallet and hammer the rod back in place, spray some WD40 and patch a piece of duck tape with JB weld on the block and see if that holds...I keed I keed.
Yours is a rev-up motor right so even harder to find parts for it and for sure I would get over sized pistons and higher quality rings to fix the issue with Oil consumption, valve guide seals also played a small part in OC.

Low compression but I do not think they are oversized.

My mod list includes a lot of the parts that I needed when I bent a rod and had similar goals... well, actually... mine were a bit less lofty but I'm an AT and slaved to the transmission (which is now built as well).
