Nice work ... love seeing new metal.
That should be a great engine.More goodies from Japan arrived (although bastard DHL have misplaced the other box with another one of those Harada manifolds in it!).
Kameari adjustable cam sprocket and a beautiful set of Kameari 89mm forged pistons for L20/24 size rods. These will be paired up with the MaxSpeedingRods forged rods and the Farndon billet stroker crankshaft I have to give Dixie a nice 3.1L bottom end underneath that JDM N42 head.
So, recapping, the engine’s basic spec will be:
L28 block bored to 89mm (either F54 or N42, sleeved for assured wall thickness; F54 is already bored to 89mm but needs sonic testing)
Kameari pistons
MaxSpeedingRods forged rods
Farndon 83mm stroke billet crank
N42 head, welded, 36cc chambers, big ports!
Tomei 46/38mm race valves
Nismo race valve springs
Nismo/Kameari/Isky retainers (depends on me finding a replacement for the one retainer missing from my Nismo set!)
Iskenderian .580 lift, 306deg cam
DCOE-style ITBs, Emerald K6 ECU
Plus other stuff!

A bloody quick one!
Great spec engine Richie. I've also gone down the Maxpeeding (note no S) rod route. My engine builder wasn't overly impressed with them (poor machining with a floor where the cutter has jumped) but said as long as the engine isn't rev'd too high then they should be fine. You get what you pay for.
Do you think buying from Japan is an economic way of getting these bits?
