I highly recommend to put "at least" forged pistons in there.
I spec the engine always higher than turbines.
I just put in a R34 Nur engine in my car with Tomei 1.0mm headgasket.
I'm breaking in my engine now... taking sooooo long to break-in the engine.
anyways, Good luck on your rebuild!! |
The plan at first was to upgrade the pistons, rods, bearings and bolts as well in order to overbuild the engine and thus allow for higher durability. By coincidence I ended up buying a house this summer, so I guess they'll have to wait.
I'm not planning on going any higher than 600 PS, at least not until the internals have been upgraded, and probably not even then. There's also so many other things I want for the car, I don't really know where to start... Carbon fibre propshaft and full leather interior are things I'd also like to add to the car in the future, not to mention a better suspension (stock with lowering springs as of yet).
Now at least, the car will hopefully perform as well as it looks (according to my own personal opinion). I'd hate the idea of having a car looking the part performance-wise and then having my arse owned by an ice cream van, or something of the sort.
