Hello,
My N18 needs a rebuild, most likely piston ring failure in cylinder 4 and I wanted some opinions on my plans to build the motor. The car is going to be a dedicated track car after this rebuild and I want to make sure that the engine is going to be bulletproof. Its going to run my RPM stage 3 tune with a JMTC S42 turbo and my goal is 280whp. Here is the parts I'm planning on using in the image below, try to convince

me not to sell and move to a miata

 

Using stock size pistons is a huge risk, especially with suspected ring damage. Cost of machine shop over-bore is negligible, and well worth it to ensure a "bulletproof" build.

 

Sounds good, thanks!!
