SR20 in a VERT finally done... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Streetfighter · 02-17-2008, 08:43 AM

Thanks everyone for the help and pointers.

the car is not complete cause i need a exhaust... and i need to modify the stock fan shroud to fit with the AC canister thing...

it came with a blown turbo inlet gasket but a new one along with manifold gasket is on its way.

after that ill slap on the exhaust and see what difference itll be.

i hope it was worth it.

I would like to thank Chris for letting me use his shop and John with his Sr knowledge.

Bought the Clip and things from http://japaneseengineimport.com located in sterling...FYI

here is a video...

i sound retarded because this was hard and it was a big accomplishment...we both went into it blind at first

if you look at the video, that green blow by plug...haha after 10 mins i realized blocking that killed my idle...once we found some hoses off a jaguar it ran and idled perfect!

bigOdom1 · 02-17-2008, 08:48 AM

congrats but you will want more turbo very soon i believe

irax · 02-17-2008, 08:50 AM

I <3 non factory horns!

Topless_92 · 02-17-2008, 09:14 AM

You should just take the AC out like i did on my vert...We have the luxury of putting the top down haha

240sx_LE · 02-17-2008, 09:24 AM

vert = sex. nice.

*downshift_sideways* · 02-17-2008, 01:55 PM

Congrats on the swap.

Looks like your planning for a fmic, hence the batter looks relocated.

Gonna be sexy! keep up the good work!

muddafakka · 02-17-2008, 03:04 PM

Very nice. Wish I had a shop like that to work in.

Aeroscraper326 · 02-17-2008, 03:39 PM

Cool. Very nice and clean shop.

Rusker · 02-18-2008, 12:13 PM

I was actually thinking of getting a small tow hitch for one of our subarus. I saw an ad for that exact trailer!

Awesome work. Swapping in an SR in a shop like that would have been great. Let's see some vids when you get it on the road.

s13vert · 02-18-2008, 12:22 PM

keep it real, chuki life

azndoc · 02-18-2008, 01:15 PM

That air filter is huge. It's like a black hole. Congrats.

***S14DB*** · 02-18-2008, 01:31 PM

Did you plug the IACV? Is that why he has to keep reving it?

How was it dealing with them. A friend of mine has quite a few dealings with Noyan, so I'm probably going through them for my clip, but I was just curious on how JEI was to deal with. Did you get a whole clip, or just the motorset? Anything missing? I checked their site, and the S13 listing said like, motor, trans, turbo, uncut harness. The S14 listing also listed the CAS, and the igniter... Strange. Price? Etc.

SUPERSTAR · 02-18-2008, 01:54 PM

Very nice.....

Nikeboy355 · 02-18-2008, 05:39 PM

Great facility and congrats...

kensreliableb18b · 02-18-2008, 05:43 PM

you dont need to modify the fan shroud. unbolt the canister and move it out of the way a bit. you'll need to put some force and carefully bend the lines.

oh, and thats a clean clip if i say so myself. they still have clean ones like that? lucked out!

Wulfpak · 02-18-2008, 06:54 PM

congrats on getting it running

civilized_drifter · 02-18-2008, 09:14 PM

i want a vert, but they are hard to find in my aera

TWOFUNKY · 02-18-2008, 10:24 PM

I take it you've never been stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic in the middle of July lol.

Nice swap though man, I love it.

Streetfighter · 02-19-2008, 10:27 AM

thanks for the comments guys...

the breather for the cold pipe to the case breather was not connected...once we did that the car ran great.

im just waiting on the turbo inlet gasket.

ill get some video of it driving soon...

BTW im a huge subaru fan...

im amazed more of the trailer than the car pulling it...i had no doubts.

that trailer is from harbor freight...the 300 dollar one...lol

That's not a case breather that's your IACV. Looks like your PCV(case breather) system is hooked up. The green Plug you had was in your IACV tube. Why it couldn't idle.

Streetfighter · 02-19-2008, 10:51 AM

i have a questions..

there is 2 vacum nipples on the inlet of the manifold

small and big one

i connected to the small one to the fuel regulator...

and the big one to the BOV

then the nipple from hot pipe to the wastegate...

does this sound correct?

this is what the car looks like on the outside btw....needs wheel spacers
