We can build it.... better than before...

Almost forgot! Are underdrive pulleys another consideration for my rebuild here? I'm sure I could get along without them, but will I see any significant gains having them?

-Thanks

Very important on an SR. Not so much for power, but they are known to have serious cavitation at high rpms. They are pretty much a requirement for any SR that sees track duty.

I have the same questions on the Mishimoto radiators. Price looks pretty good and from the pics I've seen the welds look nice. However, I have not seen one in person. If anybody has opinions let them be known.

Always replace a clutch when things are torn down for other repairs.

As for the RAD, what is its capacity compared to what you have?

Brett, the water pump pulley of a Stanza is a good cheap upgrade over the stock SE-R water pump pulley. It does require that the inside be milled off to fit though. There's a write up somewhere on the web on how to do it.

I believe it only requires a bit of the front cover to be ground to clear.

On your Sentra you didn't say how old the current clutch is. If is original to the car you should replace it while everything is apart. Courtesy Nissan (they have a website to look at but you can also call) sells a nice set-up with an upgraded ACT pressure plate and a stock late model SE-R disk (which I beleive is carbon-kevlar friction material). This set-up with a new throw out bearing should last a very, very long time without too heavy pedal effort.

The best radiator is the Nissan Motorsports HD radiator, which is really the euro market turbo 20DET part. This also includes a higher pressure rad cap (same as a turbo Z cap). With this rad you will not overheat and may need to cover some of it when outside temps are very cold. If you do not upgrade, a new stock type part with a higher pressure cap would be far better than an old partially clogged up part.

The Stanza pulley is supposed to be a good set-up to lower the water pump speed. I think non-AC equiped Sentra SE-Rs also had a smaller WP pulley as stock. You will also need a slightly shorter polyrib belt for these pulleys. The underdrive crank pulley as already noted does not have a harmonic balancer. On the other hand it will slow down both the water pump and the power steering pump. Again I would talk to the guys at Courtesy Nissan.

The GTiR rad isn't nearly as big as a Koyo. It's also no longer available. The Nismo cap is also good for another pound or two of pressure over the Z32 cap. I'd have to look when I get home (I have both caps there).

There is only one stock pulley for all B13's with SR's.
