Hey guys I guess I've been signed up here for a while but never posted. I haven't even been trolling the forum really. I usually post most of my stuff on Freshalloy but that place seems like its pretty dead since I've gotten back into the 240 scene. This is my 3rd 240sx. My first one was when I was about 17 and I did my first sr swap. This one I bought with the sr already swapped into it. I'm an OU college student and believe it or not I am on a budget. All of my tools are complete trash tools. Nothing is name brand except for my torque wrench which is a craftsman. I have no air tools and a tiny garage. I barely have enough cash to pay for the parts that I need to rebuild it right now.
Anyways, I have an s14 with an s14 sr20det with an s15 turbo:
The motor runs perfectly and very strong but I got a job at a machine shop and need to take advantage of where I am working. That being said, I pulled my engine a few weeks ago. This is where its at now:
I have never pulled an engine apart before so any advice you can give me, I will take.
I am building the engine with new pistons, rods, camshafts, and valve springs. The goal I have with this car is just to be my fun car that I can take lots of pride in since I did the engine build myself. I want to push about 450 horsepower at the wheels when its all finished and I have upgraded my turbo/fuel/ignition setup.
I have documented as much of the tear down as possible and may post some more of it up later but this is more of an intro than anything.
