Biggest selection of pre-owned aftermarket Skyline parts in Canada. PM me.
GB: Bucket seats for Budget tuner!! Arriving in April 1st/2nd
What I had in mind before taking the plunge
Goal:
~ 400HP @ crank, and 350RWHP
More response than stock, minimalize turbo lag and still have some fuel efficiency.
Make it reliable, no need for balls to the wall set up/tune.
Budget
Not enough for a completely forged internal.
Do things right the first time and spend money where it counts
Plans
-Acquire most parts, list out a parts-list with a budget list
-Check compression of engine before build
-Disassemble engine
-Replace coolant hoses
-port head (intake/exhaust)
-Machine head surface
-ARP headstuds for reducing headlift
-Metal MLS Headgasket for better sealing
-Engine Reassembly
-Work on top mount set up for fitment
-Work on intake and charge piping fabrication/fitment
-Fabrication of any custom parts
-Fabrication of exhaust pieces
-Test drive and find any minor flaws and correct or replace
-Fueling upgrade
-Tuning
I was pretty busy in summer with full-time work. I drove my car whenever I could while acquiring parts based on my list. Once most of the parts arrived in late July, I put the car off the road then started disassembling it.
My Ctrl button has the 'C' scratched off it.
So I generated a parts list for the build.
