e16s build up

Nismo87R · Jan 8th, 2005, 04:22 PM

so really how much hp can i get from: a weber carb,euro cam, headers full downpipe back exhast pipping and second stage clutch and a lighten flywheel? and can all that handle maybe a 50 or 75 shot of nos?

IMO 110 would be a nice goal for a bone E16 long block. i wouldnt go with a 50 shot over that setup without having the engine freshen up first and adding a metal head gasket or an oring. but a good wet system of 25-35 shot would probably do good

i was thinking of the nismo head gasket will it help my hp if u se the e-15t head on the e16s block?

the e16s is going to get a full rebuild. what would be a better cam the euro or a reground with a higher lift?

the euro cam only adds a litle more power, only reason it wasn't used in the states is because its just a little past emmisions acceptability. A custom ground cam coudl be better if done right. If you get more lift than the euro cam then you should have better performance. just make sure that the valves don't hit the piston. custom grind is more expensive though.

I would like a better cam but i dont know how higher of a lift or what specs should i go with? i just want a little fun before i swap in my ca18det the swap wont happen till i get my own place

to use the nismo head with the E16 block you should have valve recess in the pistons... if you use a upgraded cam, you will need those badly. as for cam spec you can go over the n12turbo.com infos and check theyre cam sheet.

well then for less drama then just stay with the e16s head and just port and polish that?

If you're going to rebuild definately get the block oringed while your at it. There is not much room between pistons and at higher boost you'll blow paper head gaskets.Whatever head you get a port, polish, valve job is a good idea.

how much do they normally charge for oringed the block? how much would it be to have the engine rebuild i can get the kit but i dont know how to rebuild it. so its a pain in ass to get a higher lift cam then to just get the euro nismo cam?

lets put it this way, its a lot easier to go with euro cam.

I don't know, call around. Seems like you're getting a lot of machine work, so any shop should give you a deal for all that work.

the oring and decking costed me around 325$ can.
