first built f23
My car is almost fully built. Just have to replace one of the axles and it will be the first fully built f23 out there. The block is capable of 70psi/1300hp, which i dont plan on ever doing but its great to know what kind of abuse it can take. I already have the turbo setup waiting for after the break in of the engine. Im hoping for no less then 500+hp to the crank at 23-25psi @ about 8500-9000 rpms . Ill upload pictures of the bottom and a video of the startup when i edit out the plates. Its going to take about a month to break in the engine, and when i do ill upload some vids of the a couple of pulls.

i know you can build b series blocks to handle abuse some where in the neighborhood of those numbers but ive never seen off the shelf parts for the f22 much less the f23 to reach such ASTRONOMICAL numbers...those are IHRA numbers....anything is possible with enough money but for the commone person you couldnt afford to build such a block..you'd have to have forged pistons possibly oversized pistons, forged rods, chromoly crankshaft, aftermarket sleeves....maybe even a stroker kit...thats just the block....plus everything balanced and blueprinted to ensure durability......then the head.....geez i get dizzy thinking about all the money

This is the first time i actually told people what i was building. Let me get the pictures, and you can see what parts i have for yourself. Its an f23 engine.
Previous post somewhere else:
Dont want to give away too much about the setup now, but ill upload some pictures to show the parts. The longest part about the build so far was getting it sleeved. Took over 3 months to get it back from the Golden Eagle machine shop. Its been a 5month build so far, but now we have all the parts to get everything going on the build...well, besides the clutch. But anyway here are some pictures of it. Im hoping for 500+hp to the crank.
Some parts are still missing that we have. The AEM EMS is at the shop tucked away. And some other misc parts i have lying around, like: intercooler, piping, bov, ect

i know... i was just stating tht there's another guy i know who's building it up too... both ur setups looks good, but i gotta give more props to stinker on E-H cos he's doing a lot of it himself, which includes the fabrication of his custom ram-style turbo manifold (he welds)
