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

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
