Turbo time!!! But if u dont want to go turbo just yet, then i say hook up a pacesetter header, which you can pick up for 150 beans or so from www.nopi.com.

Not quite sure what headers would be available to you down under. Under most circumstances this is the best upgrade for the sr20 engine in terms of power gains vs. cost. After that would be a good set of cams. Messing w/ the engine internals really doesn't compute cost/benefit, on a healthy engine.

Err Ryan I may be mistaken but I do not see him mentioning 300ZX Brakes in his list of mods. I *think* the 300ZX pistons will yield 10:1 compression, but am not entirely sure. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. The car will run, but you may want to have the ECU reprogrammed anyway.

You have to have the block overbored 1mm to fit the 300z pistons to the SR20 block, but it will bump up compression. A header is a good power adder, but why not just boost it? You'll save money on a header that you would be selling later on. Get a little psi. in your life and don't look back. Hopefully next year, I'll be travelling the evil road.
