engine rebuild

[northerner]

Whilst your bottom end is in bits, take your rods/pistons crank and flywheel to ' Burton power ' and have them lightened/balanced. I priced it up ages ago and it was only about 140. They can also hone your block or bore it to suit!

also might be worth seeing if the crankcase girdle from the DET will fit straight on to stiffen the block. take teh longer bearing cap bolts too

cheers for the info chaps! i've already got a silvia engineering twin kenlow set up but forgot to mention it! haven't really got money for lightened and balanced bottom end coz gettin engine gaskets, rings and shells is gonna use most of wot i've got! i was under the impression that the s13 injectors would just run off the standard ecu! wot sort of piggy back system is needed or could i get away with an uprated pressure reg for a while until sorted?

Safc will do the job for you, can pick them up cheap enoough now of ebay and sxoc.

might sound stupid but wot is a safc and is it much work?

[northerner]

Its an electronic gismo that you wire in to certain point before the ECU which allows you to change things like fueling etc.

right i've been lookin in to it and unless i find a really cheap safc it looks like it'll have to wait till after the rebuild! will i be able to use the s13 injectors without it or should i stick to the standard 1's until it's run in coz ideally i want to get it rebuilt and run in ready to use for jae then hopefully something will come up in the mean time!
