And a bigger engine bay haha!
Mmmmm, twincharged kv6
If I came into a bit of money somehow I'd give it a blast.
Get some people in the know to do it though.
Hopefully help a little though haha!

I think you've got a good base, the internals are already started.

There's a guy selling an emerald for £600 I think on .org
Maybe that's a start there?

you dont need anything other than forged pistons. Then go down the DTA S80 and bigger injectors. £2.5k would more than cover that.

the bottom end going was random, I wonder if when you had the front ender it did just touch and stop the cam pulley briefly ? I would imagine it must be something to do with the accident

The beauty with DTA at least is it has a great resale value, compared to any other custom KV6 bits

Ross has the right idea here.

You need to speak to drew. Has already done this and got it running and the cost would be well under 2.5k!
You don't need anymore forged bit in that bottom end, just a hone and new rings depending on the pistons being ok??

Never once regretted owning my charged Zs and I lost money on it , same as Ross who prob had more to do with them more than most!

I still watch and listen to mine screaming its way to redline :-)))
