Yeah Pinky is going to be an animal. The turbo compressor is rated to 980hp, but not planning on going near that. Will be limited to 400-ish with the current injectors and hacked Motronic.

Most m20b25's make about 130-150whp stock depending age and previous maintenance. We have dynoed several Spec and Chump e30's lately, I would say 140 is the average.

Did you buy the shim kit to do your valve adjustment? Looks like she is being cared for nicely! We just did an Alpha-N and carbon airbox on an '87 s14, what a difference - keeping yours OEM/stock-ish?

You said you have access to a shop. All the shops I know of have an engine hoist and/or engine brace. It will make your life much easier to hold the engine in place and drop the sub-frame.
