    5L's are shit dont bother. amount of money youll spent on a 5.0L vs rb30 compared to power out put is stupid.
    5L will cost alot more and go alot slower
    3b30 will go alot harder and drive alot nicer.

    and dont bother with the whole but the sound of a 5L well thats all and good but you cant hear them when they are behind you

    with the low comp bet its a pig to drive.

    dont forget the 5ltr conversion its your choice what you do keep it in mind mate

    you know how reliable rb30's are?there not! lol
    5ltrs on the other hand start all day and go all day no matter what you do.

    Well hey all guys/girls

    I have decided to keep my A8 turbo motor as said.

    Looking at pulling the bottom end apart again as I found a really cheap set of arias forged pistons! if not can get liquid forged pistons for 550!

    So thinking of doing that.

    And saving some money up for an autronic smc ecu! 1650 brand new! Sort of cheap and they are a good ecu!
