safety measures uprating the R

[mohsan]

the nissan sunny/pulsar gtir stndard is supposed to be a 220bhp engine at stock,when uprating it,for instance say 280bhp or more,what safety measures should be carried out?
i know clutch,brakes,front mount,turbo timer are all good help,aswell as fully synthetic engine oil in services should be done atleast every 6k,what other safety measures or things/reccomendations that should be done?
ive heard about aftermarket oilcooler/oil seperators is this essential?
anythingelse?
thanks

Depends how far you want to go.

For 280bhp - you're looking at about 1bar boost.

Add an uprated fuel pump to your list for safety.
And a decent boost controller.

FMIC isn't necessary at 1bar but it's always a nice thing to do if you have the cash.

That will be fine.

But if you intend to go on past about 1 bar, you need to be thinking about fuelling. SO you will need a fuel controller of some sort - and for major power bogger injectors. But by the time you get to that point you'll be thinking about a different turbo.

okay

what about a fuel catch tank as been told standard is shit?
and oil seperator/cooler or whatever it is,is that needed at 1 bar?

The more power u want the more oil and water cooling u will need to help keep the engine in one piece. U can never put these measures in early enough.
