question: did you guys carry the engine in/out of the house, or what? and how do you like Nistune? I've heard its pretty badass, way beyond something like hondata for instance.
yepppp, carried it into the house with transmission and everything attached as you see in the pic with the block ready to disassemble. Didn't have the head on it, so no manifolds to grab onto. But for bringing it outside, we didn't have the transmission on, but we had the head and manifolds on so those were grabbing points. Was super heavy ha, but my buddy Ben helped me get it outside and onto the hoist which we rolled down the street.
As for nistune, not too sure about it since I didn't actually tune the car. I've got a buddy in richmond who's great with it and has been street tuning for years. Started on hondas, and now is amazing with Nissans. So I had no interaction with it other than telling him where I wanted my rev limiter, how things felt when I was driving, etc.
