Things to do while engine is out


Recommended Posts

Posted

As the title suggests I'll be getting my engine rebuilt soon. It will be a standard rebuild. And whilst it's out I was wondering what you guys recommend to replace or upgrade? I'll also be getting a full exhaust inc HFCs. Probably an ARK or invidia gemini.

Obviously depends how much money you have to spend. I'd be thinking for definite though;

  • Exhaust manifolds
  • Clutch/light weight flywheel
  • Rust protect/paint bits of the bay that would be hard to reach with the engine in situ

Get some decent manifolds ( I mean proper equal length high-flow) - the rest you seem to have under control already. There are uprated engine mounts, might as well - huh :) - and as already said, make sure the metal mite is kept at bay :) :)

Was thinking manifolds! Got a new clutch/lightweight flywheel last year. So they're fine. What about intake manifold? Just a spacer or like a kinetix or something

Don't think there will be a "huge" difference in performance between the OEM plenum with a spacer fitted and a kinetix.

 

Probably better getting a Wasso plenum spacer or similar and putting the extra cash you save from not getting the Kinetix into better exhaust manifolds imo. B)

What's a decent manifold manufacturer. Probably not japspeed as I had a japspeed on my 200sx and the welds went after a few months. Saying that the rest of the exhaust was faultless.

Borla or Stillen imo. B)

 

Some run the DC Sports manifolds (Arran on here does I believe) which are reasonably priced and have also heard people say good things about Supersprint but not on here & not on 350's.
