Ok my engine is bust and i need a new one so i am still selling bit and bobs including my body to raise money. Anyway, here is my question. The engine will be coming out and an another going in so what can i do before the engine goes in to increase performance and make the engine more durable. I was thinking along the line of buying new turbos, forged pistons etc but the problem is i have only heard about these things but dont actually now anything about them or what they invlove. A list of all the things to do whlst the engine is out i will be helpful. Look forward to your replies.

The Zed engine is tough, how come you bust it?

 

How much d'you want spend?

 

Shot peen and crack test crank; have crank, rods and pistons

balanced. Uprated turboes. Mebbe skim head.

 

Have word with Z engine specialists.

well if i am going to spend £1500 on an engine i might as well go all the way. i just need ideas and advice and lots of them for example what type of turbos etc etc etc

Smithy is your man for turboes/turbos

Also depends on how far you think all the way is:

 

Blue printed

 

Ported

 

Polished inlets

 

Big bore

 

Race cams

 

Forged pistons

 

The list is endless, but you might want very deep pockets.

i knew this was going to be difficult......ok maybe this might help. i want to increase the BHP to at least 500. I would like to be able to use nitros and basically drive fast without worrying about blowing the engine, pistons etc. i guess i am will to spend around about £3000 to £5000. I either sort the engine out or buy a new car? and in all honesty i dont want to part with my car.

Hi there RC...

 

Why not use a copy of this url - White light

Oh, cheers Pambos for the link! ;)

From what I've seen so far, sounds like you should

talk to the guys at SE Nissan.

 

Nitro? Not fer road car.

 

Who d'you think will insure that?
