I have been busy the last week

Got the engine out

Fitted new turbo plenum an injectors striped the block yada yada yada

Now while it's on th stand I thought it might be an idea to the do the bearings seen as how Im gunna squeeze More power out of it ?

What do u think. ?

Over kill ?

Is there anything else u guys would recommend while the engines out I have missed ?

Yeah that's what I thought its got 120k on it I got it at 68k and it was bog stock but who knows if the ks are correct I am suspect on all imports in regards to klms they have hahahah

The engine has been awesome never let me down

But I figure if I just did the bearings( and rings which was a good idea kiwi rs4t)

I shouldn't have to worry too much Hopefully

Any ideas where to go for good prices on oem parts?

Nissan will charge through the ass ;-)

i got mine at repco, no more expensive than run of the mill bearings, remember to give the bores a light hone before you install the rings , thats provided you can reuse the std pistons again

How many engines have you built before and what measuring equipment do you own?

Not saying don't try it, just make sure you accept the consequences if it turns pear shaped. We see 600hp at the wheels on standard engines all the time reliably. Nissan did a pretty good job of it. It's the aussie tuners that f**k it up

Hahaha fair enough elite it's not gunna be a full build just rings and bearings

Engines I've built are erilivent ATM

A mate own a performance shop and said if I go throw with it he will supply the parts and over see what I do just to be safe :-)

Thanks for the advice mate

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
