Nismo oil pump = waste of money unless you plan on revving to 9k+ RPM on a regular and sustained basis.

While Im in the boat with Netko on this one, I do believe thats some good info right there. Never heard of that mod before, which is weird considering how long I've been reading up on this.

Interesting.

I've tried porting on the MREV2 but havn't tried porting on the heads.

I found just porting/polish on the MREV2 (non-revup lower) by itself wasn't worth the extra effort but continuing it into the heads may be a different story all together.

But it is interesting to see that even in Japan the recommendation is for a non-revup lower plenum.

What RPM were they running to?
Have they tried recontouring of the runner inlets?

^ I haven't been here in a while... other than quick glances at some of the threads. I think this quote is from Z1, not me. So you may want to ask them...

I'm still considering a n/a project, but currently concentrating on a my kitchen/bath rehab($$$).
