the_coupe's NA build cp manley bc
figured id start my build thread on here as well 
my 04 coupe is currently at 72k, smokes only during cold starts for the first few minutes until warmed up and uses maybe 1.5 qts in 1200 miles or so
so i got an OC 05 AT nonrev motor with around 15k miles from my buddy to build on.
pix of disassembly
got the timing covers all cleaned up, esp all the silicone that was in the grooves
cylinder walls didnt look bad minus some of the rust/buildup from the motor sitting in a shop for so long
bag it and tag it
and now time for the goodies

had the block machined for the HR headgasket mod and bored out to fit the 96mm pistons with .003" p2w clearance.
and yes, i have an external balance of the complete bottom end (from the stillen pulley to the comp clutch flywheel)
ACL main bearings lubed up and ready for the crank
the ACL thrust washers i got were packaged wrong (4 of the block side washers. apparently a common thing) so i ordered some OEM ones to put in. the ACL washers i got
and the oem ones...correct ones
got the mains all torqued down to spec. rods too.
with the pistons installed
baffle plate, revup oil pump and strainer all bolted down
rear main seal installed
oil filter stud for an 01 I30 to delete the factory oil cooler (warmer)

stock valves. BC cams, springs and retainers. will get an osiris tune once its together and a few hundred miles later. definitely bringin the rev limit up but we will see what the powerband shows on the dyno....ill cut it off soon after the power starts dropping off. and my buddy is doin all the port work. gasket matched the heads. intake side is obviously needing to be opened up. exhaust side is fine so itll just get smoothed out. then the intake manifold will be port matched then the lower plenum along with some other tinkering. and i already have the inside of the upper plenum smoothed out, just gotta do the throttle body inlet and elbow area.

Nah. I'm predicting for you. Although I hope I'm being conservative w/ you having an AT and I've not seen higher numbers on all but a few NA builds.
Mine are ~310whp/280wtq on a revup motor.

my build and kacz07's build were my main topic for discussion today lol. as i was just thinking of finishing mine up....im hoping my valve clearances will be ok with the stock valves and bc cams/springs/retainers AND how much clearance between the piston and valve. CP said there were no clearance issues but does anyone know roughly how much space is between the 11:1 pistons and valves with bc 264s??
and i took a few pix of her when i was headin home from work.....got her washed up

Nice build!
EDIT: NVM searched again and found it!
one question tho, i searched on deleting the factory oil "warmer" but didnt find any info on it. Im thinking of removing it on the swap im doing but just not sure.
What i found on it was its there to actually warm the oil up for short trips, and then once the motor and oil is fully warmed up it just stays constant.
Did you block off the lines that come from the block to the cooler? or did you just hook those lines together?
Id like to remove the stock cooler, and install a real oil cooler.
sry for the hijack!
