i haven't used those specifically, but I can say the name nippon is a decent after market producer. I haven't heard of anyone saying anything bad about nippon and i believe somewhere in my archives i have a data sheet on their products that i use as a reference; because of that sheet, I could tell you which blocks are 75mm or not.

the auctions says it all..... do you plan on utilizing a turbo or superchager? If you buy those, dont forget to LET THEM KNOW the size you're going to need... are you going to over bore? how big?

I think in the latest release of modified mag, a chick in NJ has a white 95 hatch at 81mm and a few other mods pushing... over 600+WHP on a b18 with a c head. I was really enlightened as to the power she's getting out of an almost minor/moderate modified engine. I think she spent more cash on the turbo kit than the engine.... the block/head holds up great!!!

lol.... i know what you mean. I would'nt mind trying em out at all. At the moment i dont have a b18 block. eventually i will though; I was planning on fully build one before next april. I'm unknown if it'll be ready on time.

what size turbo are you planning on.... or do you already have one?

why would you want to go twin turbo when you can easily get 2.0 bar with the right single turbo setup...its just alot more work that honestly isint worth it.

as for the pistons i would deff not trust them...go get some arias
