Yesterday I bought the engine and transmission out of a wrecked r32 Nissan skyline for a great price. The engine looked pretty good so far, but who knows what it looks like on the inside. It's missing the clutch, maf, and wiring harness. Basically, I'm going to take the engine and transmission apart, clean it all out so I looks brand new, inspect and see what needs to be replaced. I don't have a large budget. I'm looking to get 300-350whp out of it! This is where I'm going to post my updates and progress of the build and also ask questions I need answered. I'll start working on it Monday once I get back home.

First questions! What needs to be replaced so far considering the amount of power I want it to make? What usually goes out in these first? What are the best, top quality parts that I should buy from for the parts I'm getting listed below? Right now I'm just worrying about making the engine more durable and making sure that it will actually run right with all the parts working. I'll do the performance later on.

List so far of what I'm going to buy for the engine:
- new high hp rating performance clutch
- all new gaskets with high ratings
- maf
- what else?

Would that land me in the 300-350whp range? And what do I need to replace for better reliability?
