Corey240's Big SR Project Q&A Thread

[drftsx]

not to be thread jacking but im in the same boat and id like to know if a safc is good enough for my set-up + a s15 turbo and 440cc injectors? thats basically what my setting is going to be.

[oki_bum]

i do believe a safc can handle 440cc.

[drftsx]

oh kool. thnx

[corey240]

would an sr20de fwd short shifter work in a rwd sr20det?

[9240sx]

No,The FWD sr20 trannys have shift linkage..

[corey240]

ok thanks.

[s13gold]

so what do the rear wheel drive sr20's have?

[9240sx]

None...The shifter stabs stright into the transmission.

[disturbed.)]

i was wondering the same thing whether to use race series or standard bearings the price seems be the only difference other than a coating on cheaper set

[Slipstream]

Those are the bearings I'm using on my build. Motor isn't together yet though, but they seem fine. Let you know more come end of spring.

[Fireplug]

I'm using ACL's new H-coat bearings.

[corey240]

my crank was polished so would i need the next step up in bearings?

[USsil80]

you should take your block, rods, and crankshaft to a engine builder and have them measured to see what bearing you do need...

[corey240]

well im not rich and theres no need to do it when all i have to do is cut a piece of plastiguage and stick it in there and torque down the stuff. i just dont know which one to use unless i can use either one.

[corey240]

**** i deleted the message, andi have a horrble short term so did you say i COULD use the de pistons? i messaged you today. sorry bout that.

[corey240]

yea i found it out noe, i orderd them. the sr20de from the 200sx nx in 91-94 is the same as the ser sentra right?

[corey240]

my intercooler couplers are cracked but not all the way through, would it be ok to put electrical tape around the inside and out for a little while?

[ILikeMy240sx]

first of all, if you put electrical tape inside your coupler it will only be a matter of time before it gets unstuck and gets sucked into your engine.

Second of all, no, regardless of how much tape you put on it, it will leak under vacuum and boost.

Just get a new coupler.

lol thats somthin you would see on pimp my ride

[corey240]

i kinda figured that would happen, thanks

[corey240]

im putting my bottom end together and i am wondering somthing. on the front of the block the grade number is 1# then 2 from cylinder 2 to 4. my rods are put together the other way, so the number 4 on my rod is conected to grade #1 piston and is in cylinder 1. and my number 1 rod is grade #2 piston in cylinder 4 (back of motor). is this ok? btw its a redtop sr with oem internals.

[ILikeMy240sx]

You should put grade 1 pistons in the bore labeled with that grade.

This is specifically mentioned in the FSM.

[corey240]

yea thats what i did, so does it mater which number rods go to the cylinders? my pistons are instaled to the grade number, which is waht i said befor because i did see that, but the numbers stamped into the rods are the total opposite basicaly. so the rods stamp numberd 1 are in cylinder 4. and the rod stamped number 2 is in cylinder 3 ect... does that matter what order the rods are in as long as the pistons are in order?

[ILikeMy240sx]

My apologies. Rods should also go in order. #1 should go in #1 jounal and so forth. Ive done all my rebuilds like this.

It wont matter if you get the entire thing balanced with the way you have and check all the clearance and they come out ok.

[corey240]

how does it get balanced?
