Hi guys, I have been wanting more power as of late, and want a spare motor to build so I can upgrade to a g25-550 or 660 from my S280. Car currently makes ~370 whp and 380 ft lb on 33-35 psi with aux on E40, but I really want to make 450-500.
I was just wondering if anyone had pointers on where to find a longblock, I heard the Escapes used our engine at one point, which year am I supposed to search for? Is it 13-15? I didn't see much on ebay, just a lot of other things that say "fits fiesta st" but had like base model non turbo engines.
One of my best friends works at a local machine shop, and his dad also works there, and they said they'd be willing to help me with sleeving the block & porting the head etc, so that'd save me a bunch of money.
I really want to wait for Adam @ tuneplus to finish his built motor program so I can order one, but I'm not sure I want to shill out like 8k for one.
If I do find a longblock, what is considered a decent enough price? Or a shortblock even, and I can re-use my current cylinder head.
Thanks in advance for any help ya'll can provide, I appreciate it.
