Please make sure you add **brakes** to that monster list of yours because they are highly overlooked! make a proper list of everything you are looking for… good luck with the build!

- Turbo (Flow, quick spooling, will it max out injectors wanted?)
- Injectors (what size? keep in mind the power goals when choosing a cc)
- Fuel pump (z32, walbro, dual walbros)
- Intercooler (how big or small, track car, etc)
- Manifold (log, or horn style. top or bottom mount)

things like that…

FYI my SOHC was rebuilt 13K and i tracked the shit out of her for 1 season and developed a few problems…1 such as random tick in the head, and i mean completly random as in one day on track it just started ticking really loud then dissappeared after few laps… came and went ever since…Not saying im a SOHC expert or anything…but i wouldnt do it if i was you…GO SR or RB or DOHC KA-t i dout you will be too happy with SOHC-t, neat idea tho but i rather save the hassle and money.

^ same, i heavily tracked my sohc for half a season in 08 and half a season in 09 until it gave me serious enough problems to get removed.

I would go with a different engine for turbo. My engine was mint before i did anything.

Irff the ticking in your head was probably caused by oil starvation or a collapsed lifter. not a major issue to worry about, just get some new ones from nissan for a few bucks a piece and put them in. the SOHC can be a monster when built properly and its cool to have something different.

^^ i was thinking it was lifters too, could not have been oil…but yeah i took that thing out already for a SR…

Agian my comments was just my 2 cents on how i see it but i plan on tracking and beating on it alot…

Personal preference is the main advice id say most ppl can give…at the end of the day it your car do what make you happy with it!

Last time I checked, the world record ka-t is an SOHC pushing well over 700hp!! sohc also produce a more torquer powerband, [KA-T.org](http://KA-T.org) no one else has enough or knows enough factual information than that site.
