Here's my 98 EK hatch build. Figured I'd start documenting what I'm doing so I can look back at this thread when I'm done, hopefully by the end of this summer.
Made my first step forward yesterday, Y8 head for my Y7 block and p28 s300 ecu.
$100 for the head no warranty, $650 for the ECU (used but new).

100 for head is a fantastic deal. Even if you had to replace a few things.

Not if you look on the right corners

$100 for a y8 is about what they go for. I can find head and intake combo between $100-150 For a y7-y8. But
Finding a junk motor for cheap with a y8 head on it is the way to save some money.
that s300 is nice 😎🥲
are you planing to boost it.
Im building a EK hatch for a daily right now

Thanks and yeah junkyard prices it is what it is. Ebay people are selling them for like $200+.
Yeah should've mentioned in the title I'm gonna be boosting it with some quality parts. Thinking about a garrett gtx3076r/gtx3071r

picked up a fully z6 assembly today for $100 and $60 for some Steelies. Guy threw in tons of extra parts and new gaskets. Gonna be working on getting the block and head sent to the shop and some welds done

Nice dude. What's the welds for?
I myself is just using a d16y crank
Throwing some rods and Pistons in and sending it 🤙 choochooo

Need oil fittings welded to the valve cover for oil catch, and a drain on the pan.
I'm stoked that I got the z6 crank but I would be totally content with a Y crank

You wanna sell that crank? Haha
