The engine is getting a bit of a refreash at the moment, They I am looking at fitting a Nissan Pulsar/Sunny GTiR gearbox to it. It looks likr you can use the B6T flywheel and Pressure plate/Clutch assy cover with a Nissan CA18DET clutch and that might help with gearbox strength. I will do a bearing plate mod on the Nissan box as that helps it. Maybe later I will see if the 2.0 FE3N motor will fit and Turbo that or the BPT motor.My Hiroshima Screamer

Well the refresh on the engine is complete and has been running for about 4 weeks now and is starting to free up nicely. I went a different route to most other people as I was on a tight budget and could not import any parts. So I had my exsisting GTX rods shortened by 1.5mm and am using Mazda ZM 1.6l pistons. Not sure exactly if they are the 9.7:1CR pistons as here in RSA our ZM motors came out with a 9.4:1 CR piston, but seeing as they are ARO pistons I assumed that they where the 9.7CR ones. I got rid of the AFM as I am using a standalone ECU and this makes a huge difference. Still running the stock boost but with the AFM missing full boost comes in at 2500rpm and I get about 3lb boost at 1800rpm, so the car pulls nicely from low revs. Still need to get a good tune on it as I am now using a FMIC as well. Will post some figures after the tune. Also at nearly a mile high and temps in the mid to high 90F's the car responses well.My Hiroshima Screamer
