Nah. If yours is an s2 rwd stagea just buy mine!

Pm sent. A power of is a no go, and I am biased toward Nistune but it is the nicer option, especially as now there is the flex fuel option available with it.

Have you checked cam timing yet?

I'd leave the tensioner for sure.

I have a nistune ecu and id725 injectors, z32, walbro pump for sale very soon. Along with a few other things. Very little use. Came out of s2 rwd auto stagea so identical to r34, and reasonable sure would be fine in a awd stagea, could ask Matt at Nistune if interested.

As above the obvious place to ask is Nistune. But to answer your question yes nistune will work.

Not necessarily. If everything us working happily I'd leave it as is. The scatter issue causes trouble when tuning, with the car pinging when it probably shouldn't etc. The power fc doesn't seem yo be badly affected anyway, as it is an older and slower ecu which doesn't see the scatter like newer faster ecus do.

Also the issue with different belts tends to come from them causing the timing to scatter, when using the standard cas in particular with aftermarket ecus.

What I have said is constructive. Making more power doesn't mean the timing belt needs to be upgraded. Running more aggressive cans and springs might mean the belt is under more load, but realistically with a 100,000k service interval on a stock engine, if you used an oem belt and replaced it every 50,000 that would surely be ample. The timing belt doesn't touch the water pump, so don't worry about that. Perhaps you are confused as the pump typically gets replaced when the timing belt is done, thats only because the belt has to be removed to take the water pump off so it makes sense to do it then (just like cam and crank seals)

With non standard cams and springs comes extra load on the belt. Still nothing to do with power. How would it wear the water pump?

How does power affect spinning the cam around? Spinning is spinning.

Do it. Wasting money to hardly make power always makes me smile. Why get rid if vct? So you can lose what little midrange you have? In all seriousness the only sensible thing you suggested is using nitrous. Do that on a second hand engine. The rest is throwing money away. Perhaps before deciding in building the engine, see if you can go for a drive in a mildly modded turbo.

Great news. Can't be long now.

Seems to go up 50 bucks a year . wow.

But then the tax costs more in Japan or some crap. That's his excuse anyway. Which I find hard to believe. Why did Nissan bin the rb20?

I find it funny to think a car making 500kw would sound gay cos of a plumed back waste gate. Plumb it back. Going fast is about going fast. 500rwkw doesn't need to draw more attention.

Whilst thats completely true (its maths!) Is the flow really required? A 3inch straight through muffler probably flows more than the stock rear dual resonator. I'm sure I've seen flow calculators online for exhausts. It would be very interesting to see what an ls engine can flow through the stock exhaust. Having to pay a shop to do it does suck. That's where I'm lucky having the equipment to mess around with an exhaust to get it where i want it.

I reckon you'd be fine. As to the sound, exhausts ar hit and miss, and sort of personal. The only way to know for sure is to do it.

Sale deadline passed. Did it sell?

Looking good. Sorry if I missed it, what's the target comp ratio? Reasonably serious judging by those pistons.

Legend for measuring with a shifter! Now with the vernier calipers you can still tighten nuts and measure things.

Scotty does.

No rb20? Not that I care.
