a rebuild for $2500, that guy is not doing you any favours!

forged pistons are only necessary if you want to push well past the 200rwkw mark, otherwise stick with a stock internal motor. I would also not bother with any extensive head work, maybe just match porting the inlet manifold which you can easily do yourself with a die grinder.

pretty much a roller bearing turbo capable of your intended power, some injectors and the usual mods - exhaust pod filter and capable fuel pump and then finish with a tune.

you can tune the nissan ecu but for ease unless you know someone who can tune it go for an aftermarket ECU.

how much power do you want?

What is the intended application of the car? All this talk to N20 Injection sounds like a dedicated drag car?

I know of a CA in a bluebird with a basic build with forged pistons and a GT2871 turbo and appropriate injectors and basic computer making 228rwkw.

Not 18.5K's worth, that's for sure. To start with probably just a set of cams, pistons, injectors, turbo and computer.

That's why we're looking at NOS, cheapest HP upgrade you can buy.
