Engine out - what to upgrade/replace?
You running a lightened flywheel and front damper? Much easier fitting these whilst shes out and they do free up a few bhp.A new loom is a good one as Si says.Youll have so much more faith in the car with it fitted.

Bottom end or top end
It wont be detonation if it makes the noise stationary.

Bottom end or top end
Unplug the vtc solenoid plugs rev it a few times and see if it goes.That rev range is when the variable timing control works and can make a rattle if the springs are faulty.The vtc solenoid plugs are located at the n/s rear of the plenum,grey 2 pin oval plug and the d/s front of the plenum close to the power steering resovoir,grey 2 pin oval plug also.HTH.

Two engine build questions
Drill the sprocket and split it if you dont need to use it again.Try to force it off at the oil pumps peril.Oil pump is over £100,sprocket is £40 ish.

Do you love or hate these wheels
Ideal size if offset is good is around 8.5 fronts and 9.5/10 ish rears with sensible tyres.Your trouble is the insane power lump your gonn run.Im running 285 Bridgestone rears with rolled arches and can still break traction in anger,your engine will be far more powerful than my 470fwhp so choose wisely.

Do you love or hate these wheels
Zeds need wider rears as that is the look these cars need.That first set are way too drug dealer stylee for me.The works wheels would look good on a 200sx but they are not zed material.Find a set with lipped rims.Dont spoil the ship for a hapeth of tar.That cars gonna be a peach imho when shes done.make sure the wheels do it justice :thumbup:.

few questions about brakes
These can be good with a bit of practice,These are the ones that work best with pure copper pipe as its softer.Teng tools are good quality too. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TENG-TOOLS-10PC-DOUBLE-FLARING-TOOLSET-NEW-HALF-PRICE_W0QQitemZ270517108217QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Hand_Tools_Equipment?hash=item3efc137df9

few questions about brakes
Try this bud http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=MSPORT&pcode=S/CHCP316 Its 3/16 youll need.A good flaring tool wont come cheap.The sykes Pickavant one was the best.Some cheaper alternatives are available and work best with pure copper pipe only.The final quality of the flare depends greatly on the cutting and prep of the pipe.Go to B&Q and buy a pipe cutter,around £2 iirc.Gives the pipe a neat cut and saves sawing.I will look for a flaring tool for you in a mo.

Work emotion wheels
Id say your gonna have to import them.The states have an outlet.

Day 1, Auto-manual conversion :-D
The tt clutch is a larger diameter so it has more surface area to handle the increased torque.Thats why the flywheel is larger to accomadate this.

bottom cam belt pulley
No mate,a good hss drill bit will do it.Depth the sprocket,put tape around the dril to mark it so you dont do too deep then get drilling.keep the drill bit lubricated so it doesnt overheat.
-
bottom cam belt pulley
You mean the sprocket then.Drill it through carefully then split it with a chisel..Dont try prying it off.Youll damage the oil pump.An oil pump is around £140 the sprocket costs £40 ish.

recirc/bov/bungs sizes needed please :D who knows?
If the ebc is set at 0 or off then 11 will be your wastegate setting if thats what your gauge is reading.
-
recirc/bov/bungs sizes needed please :D who knows?
If it worked before and its not really working now it is prolly something thats been done whilst the engine was out.Its probaly not the solenoid.All it takes is some pipes to get mixed up.Will be something daft.It wont be a boost leak as it would be huge if the ebc could be set to 100% and youd feel it.Check the feed in to the solenoid and that the ports are not mixed up.
-
recirc/bov/bungs sizes needed please :D who knows?
Those new tubs should produce way more boost at the same ebc setting as you had before.Id check the pipework routing is correct.Something has to be wrong if 100% makes no difference.
