Daily driven build thread

[zach-Ka]

If anyone can answer this question I would greatly appreciate it...

Well I finally got the SR back together with the exception of the valve cover, which is taking a little while because I am wet sanding it inbetween each coat.



I also mounted my fuse box on the frame rail which makes it sit lower and a little farther forward...

[zach-Ka]

Well I made a new power wire for my alternator. My old one was a bit corroded and was realy stiff.

I then covered it in my braided sleeving.

I installed my CAS and Oil catch can and kind of mocked things up.

[tvos13]

Everything is top notch man.

I saw that you have the cx intercooler / BOV kit, I'm just about to place the order was was wondering how fitment and the blow off valve is. Any stalling problems?

[Steady_One_S13]

Nice build! I'm diggin' it.

No installation issues. No stalling issues once I had it adjusted correctly. You will need to remove one of the springs inside of the BOV to prevent compressor surge. It's really not a bad BOV for the price, but if you want to upgrade turbo size or turn up the boost you should look into getting the real thing... If you need more specifics just ask...

Nice build! I'm diggin' it.

Thank you sir...

Sweet man, how it sound? Is it like a whistle (type s or ssqv) or like a whoosh or air? Love how much attention to detail there is on your daily build man, especially all the small things. Right now my main goal is to toss the SR20 in and get it running no matter how it looks haha.

[zach-Ka]

It is more of a wistle... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uNMqxYPs94
The sr is honestly a good choise it is overdone, but it's over done for a reason. And make sure to not cut corners it sucks to have to go back and fix things...

[zach-Ka]

I finally got some good belts on.


and the valve cover is almost done...


I also got most of my interior in...

What I find crazy is there are five christmas trees hanging from my rear view. Just kinda wierd.

Sweet build dude! Keep us updated

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Where did you get your swap?

Nice thread dude.

[phreaknature]

dude you caught my eye so freaking quick the moment i saw your car on pg.1 cause of the fact that 1) its a 1990 like mine, 2) you have the same kit as mine AND you were able to help me identify the kit (i'm like the 4th owner of mine) and 3) the fact that you update with pics is awe inspiring.

just a quick check, i'm in search for a new cluster and i notice that your pic is of a DOHC cluster, which looks surpisingly exact to mine... did the 90 ever come with a doch cluster with their SOCH engines? cause if so now i know what to look for when trying to find a new one... mine's... lets just say i know by heart how fast i'm going in a stock 240 just by the tach needle and gear position.

I got mine from noyausa.com, Not bad at all really. It didn't come with a mafs but you can get a SOHC one for like fifty dollars. And it came with a NISMO clutch and HKS plugs.

You are the first person I have seen with the same kit!!! I had to do a lot of research to find out what kind it was.

And they never came with a DOHC cluster, there are no differences in looks when it comes to the clusters, at least that I noticed.
BTW I love the red on your car...

[Lonismos14]

Real nice zach looks like your taking your time and doing things right. Now that i have my rb im doing the same thing taken my time.

[zach-Ka]

Im trying to. Ill definitely be watching your rb build. Very easy motor to get power from.

[zach-Ka]

Ell I just ordered some MEGAN lowering springs from FolkertSX I cant wait now I wont be able to fit my fist in my front wheel gap...

[breadbox]

Awww I hate myself now, I used to have 2 flawless Schwinn Stingrays with banana seats and nothing missing on either. They were the sickest Kids bikes ever but the seat meant adults can ride without banging knees.

[zach-Ka]

I saw someone put new BMX handle bars, new wheels, street tires and pegs and used it as his freestyle BMX bike it was one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

Kinda like this but better....

Well friday I got the motor ready to put in. i.e. I took off the valve cove so I dont scuff it us, I took the intake mani off so I wouldn't damage that, and got my chains on and atatched it to the cherry picker. Unfortunately I did not have my camera so I will have to take some pictures on monday or tuesday when I go back up to jarretts shop.

I also got my I hate stickers order. The fresh sticker is gonna go on my hatch glass. The rest I am planning on covering my upper radiator support. I think it will end up looking pretty cool.

Speedo is different by 5mph...

Keep up the good work zach

[zach-Ka]

Really? Is it 5mph higher than the SOHC? And thanks man.

[PyR0NiAk]

Yep and no problem

[some_white_guy]

good stuff man, cant wait to see this all put back together

[Lonismos14]

Love the stickers so when is the start date.

[zach-Ka]

Well, I am putting the motor in tomorrow, and hopefully get to start it this friday or next monday...
Im so dang excited. I have pored a lot into this car and I just want to enjoy it. I am not a fast driver I just want to cruise around listen to some modest mouse or matt & kim and every once and awhile just get on it enough to hear it spool and blow off...

[PyR0NiAk]

Good luck man. My car officially runs now..

[laxands13]

your valve cover is nice. haha. the bay looks clean, and good luck getting the sr up and running. your description of what your plans are sounds like heaven

[zach-Ka]

O heck yeah man! How does it run? You have it on the road yet?

Thanks. I still have some polishing to do but I am just too antsy to get it running to do it at the moment. And I very well may need that luck, so thanks...

[zach-Ka]

Well I had a productive day... I got my springs...

Here is a picture of my now pink cooling panel and clean bay...


Here is a picture of the motor mounts jarrett (cracka400) made for me and thanks to Jarrett #2 (slagithor) we figured out play-doe cups work best for the molds..

The stupid picker was too short so desperate times call for desperate measures. The G was the one who got it in though.

The whore is in!


I enjoy stickers.....




And this is where I left it for the evening...
