Default engine has been pulled... what upgrades would be best while it's out..headers/clutch/

my engine is out of my car and while its out chilling in the wind i thougth i'd add some stuff to it.

engine is an non-rev up

what would some good headers be (gains/fitament/price)

should i put some nismo cams in

clutch and fly wheel.......rev up lower plenum?

basicly its already apart and it cost the same to put the stock stuff back on. cams are not out but one head has been pulled off the motor.

any ideas on what mods would be most costefective to do now, with the motor already pulled?

since heads are off the engine, you can be able to replace a stronger set of rods in.... cams will be good too since the heads are off!

You can basically build up the entire engine now though to be honest! but I will definitely do these if money allows...

- Conrods
- Pistons
- Cams
- Headers

cheers,

I have a REVUP lower plenum with 500 miles on it for sale. PM me if interested, thanks.

I would suggest JWT cams, crawford headers, crank pulley and my REVUP lower plenum, good luck.

how much do you want to spend and what are your goals?

I'm still not sure I'd trust a nissan dealer to do a forged engine build. I just don't think they have the equipment or experience for that...

If you are committed to staying NA, I would do headers, clutch/flywheel upgrade, and pulley's while the engine is out. JWT cams if your budget permits. Everything else could be installed after the engine is reinstalled.

But while you're at it, its the perfect time for a forged engine swap, and TT kit.
