Prepare to feel my wrath bitches

[Jess]

Im pretty dead-set on going through with this:

SR20DET powered S13 Silvia

yes, you can touch me. No, not there.

Why? Its JDM duh and that valve cover just looks cool red. Im too lazy to paint the USDM valve cover so i'll just spend a few months pay on a JDM one.

Its not as expensive as i thought. About $5000 should make it run nicely. Another $2000 will make it run insanely fast. Add another $3000 on top of that and you have ludicrous speed.

He's gone plaid!

[Frosty_DUB]

I can prolly get you parts hookups, let me know.

[Jon|Hazan]

man i can't wait till you get this! And be sure to keep everyone updated....

[dragnGSR]

Get the swap first, then put the swap in your car, then talk about how nicely it runs. Until then.........

Black valve cover(late model) got veriable valve lifts for more HP. SR20's sweet. I would have to use my car or something lighter than 240SX. I got T3 which is a perfect upgrade for a T25/T28 (I can't remember which came with SR20DET) Good luck

[Jess]

good point. im considering a blacktop but i'll probably settle for a redtop. we'll see in the coming month(s). welcome to da board :)

[Jess]

By the way, i got my 240sx terminology all wrong. im building a silvia s13, not a sileighty :poke:

[yo2001]

Thanks. I joined long time ago but I couldn't log in for long time. :D I saw you at the last AERC meeting. You left before I could say hello.

S13 is pretty light around 2600-2700lb last time I checked. I think S14 looks better but they are little heavier and who wants that. lol

[Frosty_DUB]

The black top has more power because it has a slightly larger turbo.

The red top heads are better because they flow more.

Chassis Year Engine Color
S15 1999+ SR20DET Black
S14 1996-1998 SR20DET Black

S14 1993-1998 SR20DE Black
RPS13 1996-1998 SR20DET Black
RPS13 1996-1998 SR20DE Black
RPS13 1991-1995 SR20DET Red

VVTI

Chassis Year Engine Rear Slant
S15 1999+ SR20DET Yes
S14 1996-1998 SR20DET Yes
S14 1993-1996 SR20DET Yes/No
S14 1993-1998 SR20DE Yes
RPS13 1996-1998 SR20DET No
RPS13 1996-1998 SR20DE No
RPS13 1991-1995 SR20DET No

I think the turbos are T25 or T28. T25 flows 25lb/min and T28 flows 33lb/min T28 came on Pulsar GTiR other with T25 I guess, so the turbo got nothing to do with the Blacktop or Redtop

Good stuff, Yo!

Thanks. I'm Google powered :woo:

The S14's supposedly have much greater chasis rigidity and even with the extra weight are better suited for handling modifications. Not that I designed them or anything just what I've read. Both are good cars to mod IMO.

In your sig is says you have a 240ZX. Is that correct? Thought they were all SX's.

Ummm, yeah...not saying you're a bench racer. And Step 1 was get the swap, not the car. Good luck with the 240!

[Jess]

yeah, its a 240sx. i was smoking the crack when i changed my sig

the swap isnt a question of "if" anymore. if my cars sell fast i could easily order the clip before the end of the month. I just have to get my hands on 1 more trim piece for the lude. Im parking my car on opelika rd tomorrow or thursday with a for sale sign on it. I think im gonna get the swap from unstable hybrids seeing that they're in Atlanta and i think they have a start-up guarantee. I might swing by there this weekend to take a look at the shop.

Got my SAFC & cd player installed today so i have pretty lights to look at :) Gonna go back and solder the connections tomorrow. those clippy connectors suck ass but so does soldering in the dark

[CPMaverick]

Jess if I hadn't heard you talk about turbo-ing your Prelude and then it was done in less than a month, I wouldn't believe you about this swap. :lol: But good luck with it. :twisted:

Thanks man. hopefully this one lasts longer than 2 weeks. I'll keep tryin till i get it right, or go to prison for not paying taxes. whichever comes first.

j/k i actually paid some taxes today.

Kevin @ wolf has been hooking me up like a mofo, letting me use his tools, lift, parking space, welding, etc. Im pretty sure he's going to be a big help with the 240 project too. It'd be impossible to do without all that so if you hear anybody mentioning anything about exhaust, send 'em over there.
[/shameless plug]

[A418t81]

Definitely, Kevin is a great guy. Everybody do your best to spread the word about his business!

This must not be the guy that was suppose to make me a test pipe (with a flange of course) that just decided to weld a solid piece of pipe to my header leaving my exhaust completely flex free, which within a matter of weeks caused it to crack. If you guys remember me running around open header for 2 months that was the reason.

In Kevin's defense... Not many people disconect thier exhaust every other weekend at the track though :wink: . Did Kevin ever make you one with flanges on it or fix the crack in the pipe? I'm sure if something like that happened he would fix it for free.

Keep in mind everybody, this is the guy who spent like 2 hours at the track under his car trying to cut his hot ass exhaust pipe with a ghetto hacksaw :lol: :lol: Brock you are one crazy mofo :wink: .

[WiggiE]

Regardless Jimmy, he should have put a piece of flex pipe or spring bolts on clamps like the stock exhaust on our cars. That way brocks exhaust wouldn't have split/cracked. This is common knowledge.

Also, I know on Frank's car he put like a 2.25" flex pipe when his exhaust was at least 2.5". Frank if I am quoting you wrong please correct me.

Basically, he was ghetto-rigging both of those exhausts, because it meant that he wasn't going to have to spend an extra five minutes on them.

He has been very good to you guys as far as using his tools, lifts, helping you out, etc. But due to his workmanship, I can not recommend him.

[1.8t]

Based on 2 instances??? Whenever he messes up, you always hear about it. When he does things correctly, you will never hear about it because people would rather complain than show gratitude. If I told him I wanted a test pipe with flanges and he had the flanges, then he would make me one. Brock, I don't know if there was misscomunication(sp?) between he and yourself, but go back there and watch him do the work. That way you can always assure he does what you want. I also wouldn't doubt it one bit he would fix it for free. I for one am happy with their servic. They gutted my cat for 4hrs and got it nice and clean on the inside and charged me $20. Hell of a lot more work went into gutting it than $20 worth. He also helps us out with our own projects that we don't pay him for. I like Kevin and will continue to recommend him.

[WiggiE]

Yes, it is based on those two instances. I have only known a handful of people get their work done there, so I have to base my judgement on that. But if you look at it, about 2 out of 5 is not good odds.

I never said that I disliked the guy, or that he doesn't help out alot. What I did say is that I can not recommend him due to his past performance. I am not going to shit talk or tell people not to go there, just not recommending him.

When I recommend someone to a shop to get work done, I feel that the shop will take my friends best interest in mind and be very trustworthy. I cannot recommend a shop that I feel they might get a good job done. I only recommend shops that I have 100% faith in their work, ability, and trustworthyness. You should not have to go around back and watch them work on your car. It should be done the same way whether you are there or not.

Nonetheless, Kevin is a very friendly and nice guy. We have never bumped heads. He is very good to alot of the people in this "club". Sometimes, I think he is too trusting. I will not shit-talk him, but like I said before I cannot recommend him.

And the reason I had to do that was because my exhaust was cracking from them welding it up solid. That was also after the fact that I had been by the shop several times to get it done and each time I was told "sorry we don't have any 2.5" flanges but we will order some". After about the 3rd time I stopped by they said they could do it and this happened. The sad thing on my part is that I was back there when they did my car. Guess I should have noticed.

If they are treating you guys good that is great. I know working in a shop sometimes you can slack off and might cut corners, especially if you don't know that the guy you are working on unhooks his exhaust once a week :wink: However, they still should have known that welding it solid would cause it to crack, which would have cost them more time and money if I would have brought it back later.

[1.8t]

It should be done the same way whether you are there or not.



I agree with what your saying and I agree with this statement in theory. However, we must realize that a particular job is never done the same way not matter what the rep. of the company is. Eventually, someone will be disspleased with their work.

[Jess]

When i got the 240, it had the most nasty-ass engine bay i've ever seen and ive seen quite a few. i didnt even want to pop the hood tues night.

Worked on it for about 1.5hr today

1 bottle purple power, little steam shooter thing, and a DIY carwash sprayer, and some armor-all

[Jess]

the subject of 240s came up on h-t so i mentioned my project and get an IM:

I hear its a lot of work.. You have to take the engine out of the clip and then take your orignal engine out.. put the clip on.. and then put the engine back in the clip :lol:

[Frosty_DUB]

what a fucking dumbass, why the hell do you put your old engine in the clip?

[ActiveAero]

what a fucking dumbass, why the hell do you put your old engine in the clip?


Not the orginal engine. What the guy is saying is that you have to remove the SR20 before you install the clip onto the car then reinstall it (the SR20). Apparently the engine must get in the way of the clip install. Not saying this is true because I have no idea, but I think that is what he was trying to say.

[Jess]

he just kinda talked like a 'clip' is an installable piece, like 'hey man, i'll change the oil while you bolt that clip on' or something. a clip is just a car thats been cut in half. im to tired to keep typoing.
