Its a tech question, because is there anything yall can think of that might make the car safe for under high rev conditions. I tried to think of anything else I needed, but wanted to know because I'm just getting into the Nissan Scene. Have been use to turbo cars, such as GSX, and turbo honda's, but wanted something new. Anybody have anything else I might need

I think it looks really good. I think you did your research. You addressed the high rev issue well by adding valve springs and rocker arm stoppers for insurance.

judging that you turbo'd your previous cars "safely", then you would've made the precautions to make the SR "safe" to rev. ras/valve springs/cams, etc, are all good, but SR's aren't known to make power at such a high rpm anyway.

well thats why I wanted to ask all of yall because honestly I don't have any exp with Nissans but I'm sure if u take the proper precautions, and do it the right way before getting on it, it should be ok. When u say high RPM anyway, how much is that 8k-8500? I've gathered alot of info on what I thought were good builds of the SR and thats how I came up with that set up just wantin to c what ya thought, and also if I needed anything else. Also are the Greddy intake manifolds pretty good, I've heard both sides, and if they are, r they worth the money

upgraded radiator maybe?

not sure what piping's what, but I'm assuming you have everything larger from the turbo elbow all the way to exhaust (like no stock cat)

better question is, what do you plan to do with the car?

a differential would help in both

same with more suspension/chassis stiffening goodies, there's a lot

it's probably in your list somewhere, but more gauges would be good too, more for monitoring/preventive maintenance, water temp, oil temp/pressure...

also didn't see upgraded clutch, or list what type of clutch you have, if it's like stage 1 or whatever, it'll suck

otherwise, the power should be good to go, nice list

Yeah.. Pictures! You must have a grip of cash to be going all out like this. Good luck, so far, it looks like you've addressed many of the issues in keeping the engine healthy. The wideband and EMS tune will definitely be a big part of the longevity of the engine.

Fuel Presure Regulator - SARD is the best.
If your getting HKS Cams you should get Cam Gears also.
Definatly need a bigger Radiator if you are making power to have 740cc Injectors. Koyo should be fine.
What Air Filter??? not that its major but it wasn't listed.

Small mantinance parts... Kevlar Belts, Samco Rad Hoses, SS lines, maybe a Greddy Pully Kit...

Peace
Drew

Well pretty much I would not rev a SR beyond 8200 rpm, IMHO. Even with rocker arm stoppers and stiffer valve springs the SR valve train tends to float at 8500 rpm. I know people who have blown up built engines on the dyno in that rev range. The Greddy intake is up to you. I can only speak of experience with it from a RB perspective since none of the SR's I ever ran had it. From a RB perspective its nice for the sake of cleaning up the engine bay esthetically. From a performance standpoint it does not do a lot for a RB flow wise. YOu definitely need to upgrade your clutch setup and for whoever recommended a Koyo radiator, they are crap IMHO! If your going to be trying to drift then you need to put in some kind of 2 way or welded diff. On top of that if your learning to drift I would say do not just throw a powerful engine in the car and go out and learn. Learn with a stock engine and learn your car again IMHO.

Looks pretty damn good, man. I'd say go for some suspension and drivetrain upgrades at this point. Get yourself some nice coilovers, t/c rods, tie rod ends, rear upper control arms and traction links, and swaybars and tune it all. Get a front and rear lower tie bar and a floorpan brace and maybe cut out the rear bulkhead and x-brace it. Get a good LSD, clutch/flywheel, and an aluminum driveshaft, and you've got one of the sweetest S13's around.

If you want to rev this thing to 8k+ I would go with a solid lifter setup. The hydraulic lifters just can't keep up at those high rpms. mattback has had some pretty good luck with his setup that he made. The only downside to this is that you have to check them often. If you do go this route though i would suggest going with the .086a/r 2871r and also throwing in a greddy manifold or topspeed mani for alot cheaper. A 272* exhaust cam would boost the top end power a bit too. Should make some pretty good high rpm power like that. And ofcourse as others said, with this extra power the cooling system needs to be in check too.
