I have done some extensive searching and have not found a solid answer. If I were to switch pistons to 300zx non-turbo(11:1) what kind of hp gains would I expect to get.

Were can I find more reading material on this subject?

i know you need to bore the block for the pistollas to fit

Well, to get gains you would have to get cams(c seires), head work done and all the bolt ons...you should expect to see somewhere around 175 whp IIRC...this would be a last ditch effort at N/A hp. The 300zx N/A pistons have an 87mm bore, where as ours only have an 86mm bore so yes you would have to get the block bored.

With all the money you would have to spend to do a 11:1 with every bolt on BIG WASTE get a stock sr20ve and it will probably be faster. 2 years ago my friend did a full built 11:1 every bolt on and it was pretty sad even with the JWT 50 shot. Huge disapointment!

from what i see, IMO sr20's just begged to be turboed dont see big gains n/a without shelling out ludacris amounts of money
