So I have been debating on buying a Brian Crowler Stage 3 kit. My questions is has anyone here ever purchased one what type of gain did you see? Is it worth it? I do plan On doing Turbo. I have a huge set of mods being mailed in for the car but before I start with the turbo or engine kit I wonna know that the kit is worth the money.

 

What is you power goals for the car, that will determine what supporting engine mods are a must.

 

Im looking for around 400 whp I know its possible with turbo but I like the idea of the engine kit and have herd some postive reviews of them. But I wonna make sure Im atleast 90% lol before spending the money.

 

So you are trying to decide between all motor 400whp or turbo 400whp?

Turbo will cost you a lot less. Getting that kind of power with all motor on the VQ35 takes a lot of work as where you can strap a good turbo kit on the stock motor and with a good tune you are there.

 

I took it as built motor or non built motor before he goes turbo... If that is the case and you have low compression pistons to eventually go turbo your car will be terrible slow NA with that compression and no boost.

 

I figured as much when it comes to rebuiding the engine. But if it seems like a major hassle. Im going to just go with the turbo. Now for a another ? Cooling I have noticed that since I put the plenum/CAI/Mrev 2 manifold. My car is getting hot. I have order a new temp gauge the nismo thermastat and I was thinking of upgrading my radiator. But I can't seem to fine one that fits my car. I have also order a new oil pan and spacer for the increase to oil to help the cooling. Any advice?

 

Stock you should have not reason that your car is getting hot, its possible you have a bubble in the coolant system or your thermostat is going bad.
