Id rather swap an ej257 turbo + awd drivetrain into a ea81 hatch,brat, or two door coupe with that kinda money.My post was a response to this "My CCR EA82T with ported out stock turbo and stage 2 cams..."

Don't get the over revving thing, but have fun.

My old SPFI EA82 hit 8500 rpm but it didn't really like it. Lots of noise and valve float at that high of an RPM.

 

I'd love to spin 9k rpm from my ER27 that is currently being built. No turbo, bored cylinders, Wiseco pistons, Delta 272 cams and a pair of ported heads. Still need to replace the valve springs, possibly go with a larger set of valves and solid lifters. That's once I get the head studs done.
