Hey guy's I'm about to build a pretty serious engine for my R and i was wondering if any1 knows how strong the block in these cars are ie. do they flex much?

There alot of people running over 400bhp on standard blocks mate with no problems reported. But you can buy liner's if you wan't to stiffen it up even more .

i've been looking into it and from what i've seen of big power 200sx's it appears they line the block at anything over 500bhp..

www.dartonsleeves.com seem very good from what i can gather..nissans not listed on that site but they do them..

they do 86-87.5 or 88-90mm liners, $350usd plus shipping.
