Building racehead.

Hello, I need som advice, I am going to rebuild my SR20DET in my car GTiR. The engine is pretty stock, I have lifted the head and I am going to improve it to begin with. I am replacing it all, new cams, new gears, new chain, new valves, retainers, valve springs and etc. Any tips & advice would be great on which parts/suppliers I should use!

I want to build a 400bhp engine.

 

I thought that I will use ferrea as my supplier for the valvetrain parts.

I dont got any tomei cams? Yes I have a Haltech PS1000.

My TB28 is getting rebuild,  changing to 360 bearing, and the guy who is rebuilding it is going to lathe the  turbo.

you won't get near 400 bhp on the stock t28 turbo. you should get at least a gt2871r, faster spool and way better internal design than a turbo built 25 years ago.

Also if you want something reliable you should also build the block.

Hello my friends, I have bought some stuff for the head.

new OEM oilpump.

Supertech Dual valve spring kit with Ti retainers.

Supertech valve guides

Supertech Forged Exhaust & Intake valves +1mm oversized

Supertech Valve steam seals

ARP bolts & nuts.

The head will be refurbished and improved by a rally engine builder in sweden.

I am looking for new cams, gears and chain. I am unsure on which cams I should run and how much lift, I want the car to pass the emission inspection, gears I am thinking of HKS. New naprec strenghened chain maybe?

BLOCK build, Forged Carillo Pistons and Pauters X-beam conrods.

Turbo Garrett GT3071R or GTX3071R (dual ballbearing)

I have a project thread here, if you want to follow me I would appreciate it, http://www.nogs.se/forum/showthread.php?t=179952 

Its on Swedish, I try to explain as much as I can if you people got any questions.

m4r1n : Yeah I thought I only run quality made parts for my build, planning a really sick buildup. Going to replace even more parts that I have not even mentioned.

What do you plan to do about the transmission ? Everyone here know they like to explode on hard launch and running lot of hp on the stock gearstack is searching for troubles.

I will replace the gears with QKE8F
Nissan Sunny / Pulsar GtiR 5-Speed Synchromesh Gearkit. The problem is not the housing of the gearbox, the gearbox housing breaks because the gears are mitered and want to break free from each other because of the excessive power. I will use my car for timeattack so I dont need to do kamikaze launches like they do on dragraces.
