VSR Engine Build

I can think of a couple choices for our OEM crank bearings: coatings and shot peening. I might consider shot peening various engine parts. If possible, perhaps coat it as well.

So we'd only need to send you a flywheel if we were planning on using an aftermarket one and we wanted everything balanced together?

There is a company here in Tampa that coats them. now for the draw back...You have to take in count the thickness of the coating. Nissan makes a dozen types of engine bearings. We have to order one of every size and test fit them in our blocks. Long process!!

Not a big FAN of ACL, considering they went out of business couple years back.

Other than the NISMO race pump for $$$$, Any ideas on blue printing or upgrading internal rotor

That's a lot of money in RND and pray to god we get it right!
