I'm having a little dilemma guys my car currently has 185,000KM/115,000miles but I want to start getting more speed mods. With the engine having so much mileage I was wondering if I should rebuild the engine first? I'll be doing an N/A build.

Here is my mod list:
ARK Grip Exhaust System
Berks HFC
AMS Lightweight Pulley Kit
Kinetix Velocity Intake Manifold
Takeda SRI
AMS Aluminum Radiator
TransGo Valve Body Upgrade
An automatic transmission cooler (haven't found one yet, recommendations?)

 

What are your power goals? Going to have to spend a ton of money to get power N/A.

 

About 330 at the crank.

 

Skip all the NA mods and slap a supercharger. Save your $$$ for a future rebuild once the engine goes BOOOM. Not if it will go BOOM but once it goes BOOM then be ready for a rebuild and up the boost.

 

Once the engine blows won't I have to get a new engine?

 

Save yourself $500 and just go with a Motordyne 5/16" spacer instead of the Kinetix manifold.

Also, ditch the pulleys and Takeda intake.

The radiator and tranny cooler aren't necessary unless you really beat on your car and/or track it.

 

Thanks for the input guys, the main reason for the Kinetix is for the bling factor.

I do plan on tracking the car.

 

115K miles is nothing for a VQ series motor.

 

Tracking your G with stock NA and Auto? I have great respect for you :-). Even with stock engine, you need a lot more in order to track your G. Suspension, brake upgrades, are some MUST have before thinking of throwing yourself out there :-) my 2 cents.
Good luck

 

My G isn't all out but it's not stock at all here is what I have for brakes and suspension.

Akebono BBK
Stoptech Cross/Drilled Rotors
Hawk HP Plus Pads
Megan Racing Coilovers
SPC Front Control Arms
SPC Rear Camber Arms
Stillen Adjustable Sway Bars
Energy Bushings
Forgestar F14s


I was just looking for more power.

 

I wouldn't waste the money on a NA rebuild I would just mod it and if it starts to get played out just replace it with another OEM.
