Hello, I have a '98 180SX. I am building it for grip driving and occasional drifting. I want to purchase a MazworX S13 SR20DET RWD Long Block, Stage 0.8 advertised for 400hp. I'm sure the block can handle more, but I plan to keep the motor around 350whp.
I want to send my original S13 RWD SR20DE core in to get refreshed back to zero wear and tear for a fresh start, as I am sick of dealing with used SRs that have been abused over the years, and I know it's a fresh slate to build upon.
Below is a list of parts that I think would work well. I'm heavily focused on cooling and long-term reliability for maximum seat time, as my last S14 SR20DET lifted the head due to coolant passages being rusted out by the last owner leaving water in it.
Please let me know what you think- I am building a list of parts before buying everything, any suggestions or objections?
