naviathan Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 No cheap way to make power in an NA. Mill the head for high compression and run high octane gas. Get a 260Z cam to breath better. That's the cheapest way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx260 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 The N42 Is The Best Head Of The Ones Listed. Bigger Valves Than The E88 And Better Exaust Port Shape Than The N47 Which Has The Same Chamber.a F54 Block Flat Top Pistons And The N42 Head Will Give You Over 9:1 Compression. If You Mill The Head And Go With A Cam With Lots Of Overlap You Can Get Away With The High Compression . The Overlap Will Bleed Off Some. Be Sure To Make The Head Really Smooth To Prevent Detonation From Hot Spots.as For As Stock Cams Go, Naviathan Is Right On About The 260 Cam. Highest Lift And Duration.the Big Cam Will Give You More Power Up High But Cost You Down Low.use An Electric Fan And Synthetic Oil To Free Up A Few More Ponies.an Old Maxima Flywheel Is Lighter And Will Help Revout In The First Two Gears But Is Not Noticeable After That.are You Using Carbs Or Injection?

racerx260 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Try A Turbo Throttle Body And A Msd Ignition With The Tripple Fire Featue Under 4000 Rpm. You Can Trick The Cold Start Injecter To Richen Things Up And The Msd Will Help With The Richness Issue. Then Theres The Mega Squirt Fuel And Fire Controll Way To Perfect Your Fuel Ratio But That Part Is Beyond My Experiance.see The Links On The Home Page About That.

REDNECK Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 trying to find a turbo throttle body in australia is like finding a patrol in the states lol i'll look around but there rare around these parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crispy Chicken Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Can't you hide a turbo in the glove box or something? haha What would have happened if that kid had a na engine in his car would they have banned all skyline's? Maybe they should have people dyno their cars every year and have a limit on HP. Have like dyno stations everywhere like emission's a few years ago here in the states.. lol Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmonster80 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 What skyline are you putting this together for? I built a 3.1 for my KGC10 cause that was all I could fit into it at the time. I am hoping to be able to squeeze a turbine setup in there someday though. I really like the L6 with ITB's. There is a company in AUS that makes them. Forget the link but I almost bought them before I found Redline here in SoCal. F54 block with the N42 head is a good combination. You will be able to get alot from it down there where quality gas is still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_V Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 best thing to do is get a 240sx throttle body and spacer/adaptor. I can fish one out of the local yard if you want. LMK im willing to help you ship it over there. Its a 60mm TB. Or a BMW 65mm off a I-6 or similar. might have one of those around. Theres alot of writeups, really you can use anything in the 60-70mm range you just have to mount it and hook it up. ~Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huwwatki Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Just a quick note....are you sure on the Australian law? I think you may be surprised (wrong) if you check, it does depend on what state or territory you are in... But I'm in Victoria and have only ever once heard of such restrictions, methinks it'll be a broader power to weight restriction (and a cost of insurance restriction). Anyway, not sure but I'd check.
