Well, the EP3 saga has finally come to an end. We ended up finding multiple bent rods, so we replaced them with stronger 04-05 K24A rods. It also got a fresh set of ACL race bearings, Cometic head gasket, and ARP head studs to prepare it for more power down the road. While the engine was out, the clutch was upgraded to an Adlerspeed twin disc to ensure the power makes it to the tires.
All in all, this build performed just as good as it looks. With 505whp and 422wtq on tap, it should have no issues destroying tires and keeping the customer smiling. Dyno and two step videos in the comments š
