Well I have a few updates in regards to the built motor and old turbos.
Engine wise I have ordered a single eagle rod, main bearings, thrust bearings, 2 sets of rings (only changing the rings on the one piston, got extra in case i break one). King has finally released the correct connecting rod bearing part number but it's not in stock at summit yet (Part number CR6902XP)
I still need to order an oem gasket kit and a crank.
Upon reviewing my emails with FP and confirming with a caliper on the good turbo, the CHRA were GT28RS. This means the turbine housing is machined and modified to take anything from a GT28 to a Gen2 GTX2876. ATPturbo has the GT2871R super cores for $948 and if i get them with the Nissan 2 bolt inlet, 3 bolt outlet compressor housing, I will only need to modify the hot pipes slightly.
I don't want to end up with headgasket issues so I plan on staying under the 800whp mark and since the plain old GT2871R will do that, I don't see the need to spend an extra $1k to get the GTX version.
