The rebuild will happen in the spare room so its nice and warm, so it will be done over the next few months and hopefully get fitted in AUgust(ish)

Question is, what will I need? I have the following items, and I will be looking to build something powerfulish to around 450-500bhp.

Rev 3 Block
Rev 3 Head
All ancillaries

The block I have was a spare one the guy gave me when I bought the engine that went in.

I know I will need these items: But what ones? any recommendations? Not looking to increase displacement.

Forged Conrods
Forged Pistons
New crank/rod bearings all round
Cams
Cam Gears
Head Gasket
Water/Oil Pump
Head bolts

Is there anything I will need for fitting these items? Like piston rings etc etc or do the forged ones come fully ready to go in? Any neew tools I might need over and above what I used to change engines etc before?

Im guessing that the majority of ancillaries will be ol to go straight on? Such as
Alternator
Starter
Gearbox
All my hoses etc
Throttle bodies
Manifolds

I do have a Garrett GT2860RS at the moment but I would probably be right in guessing as well that it wouldnt be any use past 350bhp? If so then I will likely swap that for an Apexi Power FC as I was talking with a mate about that swap yesterday.

What Turbo would be recommended for that application then, coupled to a Blitz nurspec?

Just ideas swinging in my head just now so spologies if I missed something or said something daft
