Hey zoidbergmerc yeah its a 26 out of a 94 model Vspec1 but it had the longer crank in it and i just got a basic budget reco (as budget as you can anyway) but its basically got Ross forged pistons, nitto rods, ACL bearings, oil restrictors, external oil drain, hi octane sump extension, basic head reco with heavy duty valve springs for poncams later on etc. Really just a full refresh with no heavy machining or over the top parts. I figured if i went all out on it and something went wrong then i would'nt have the money to do it again so i just tried to get away with as much as possible while fixing the factory probs and making it more reliable. I mean nissan knew what they were doing and stock these engines are capable of decent power so with a few new bits it should do what i want for as long as i want well hopefully anyway lol. I would get some pics up but im really struggling to do that ive got them off my iphone and onto picasa3 but i cant seem to get them onto SAU so if anyones got any tips they'd be much appreciated.

Hey mate, where did u get ur engine work done? Wot power r u hoping to make? And wot fuel system r u running?

Hey I pulled the engine out myself but my mate works at Tas Engine Reco in Hobart so they did all the work. I'm putting Garrett -5s on it so I'm hoping for around 340-380kw obviously closer to 380 would be better lol but I guess it all depends on the tuner it should be good for 400 in theory but you know how things vary. As for fuel system I haven't got anything sorted out yet but I have removed all my hicas stuff apart from the hard lines from the front to back and I've heard something about converting them to fuel feed lines cause they're bigger than the factory ones or something like that but I'll work it out. Other than that just a decent intank feeding a surge tank with an external feeding the injectors havent looked at any brands yet. My mate got I think it's siemens injectors in a kit with a rail reg and lines pretty cheap through his work on his 25 and they seem to do the job well. So I'll probably go with those. But really at the moment just a saving game lol. It's true GTR owners are all poor aren't they lol.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
