Time for a new engine

1. Are you serious about competition, if yes, proceed, if not, execute step 3, fit engine and proceed with that as replacement engine
2. Find yourself an engine builder (I'd talk to Clark Steppler at Jim Wolf Technology)
3. Buy a low mileage engine from a wrecker and rebuild it - if this is too expensive for you, you answer to question 1 is incorrect so return to question 1 and take the no route
4. Choices for rebuild - aftermarket ECU or not, if yes, proceed to next question, otherwise rebuild standard engine with JWT series 2 exhaust cams
5. If aftermarket ECU, purchase 350Z HR engine and rebuild "HRGA" engine using JWT cams, pistons, rods, fasteners etc. If funds are available, go with Bryant racing steel crank (std stroke - the Bryant stroker needs more machining) otherwise life the OEM crank at 40 hours
6. I have a reference for Motec M150 to drive the OEM canbus and VQ37VHR engine (will drive standard gauge cluster).

PM me if you want more details
