Finally finished with my swap.. didnt take too long after the wiring was done... Soo far im pretty happy with it.... Still a lil things here and there im werking on.. ITs getting hot.. im using the stock KA radiator.. and the temps getting to 220-230... sooo gonna get a dual core.. Also Seems like it is running really rich.. gotta play with the timing.. its retarded a bit....and last is the Tach.. we hooked up my auto meter.. and its not getting any signal....

But all and all.. at 10lbs.. it fells really good.. with the 245 nitto 555s on the rear.. and Skyline LSD.. it hooks hard..

IM gonna take some pics real soon....

Gotta get ready for the Track this friday.. soo we can see what it does.. NiGhts Suposedly went 12.6 on stock boost and street tires... but.. i dont think its possible... hoping for low 13s on 10lbs.. we'll see what happens..

Anyone else run their car at the track yet? any times?

I take that back.. the people who got their clips BEFORE the troubles began did get their stuff. But non of the people from the current posts concerning it have.

i was the first person to ever order a clip from camorn.. I was told it was gonna be in great shape.. the brakes were gonna be on it.. The drive shaft was gonna be with it.. the LSD and half shafts were gonna be with it too..

It showed up..

It was pretty ****ing beat.. everything else that was spodda be with it didnt come.. the ECU was rusted (seeems ok, At the moment).. the compression was low..130-145-125-135-130-130 ( big day comes friday for the compression test after driving it for a week.) I finally had to call Venus, who he ordered it from, I had to ***** them out to get my LSD, axles, and drive shaft..

well if you gimme your real name I can mention it to him when I talk to him in a day or two. I am basically th eonly one who can reach him at the moment. As far as that goes, you'd have better luck going thru Venus direct. Cameron has a lot to fix at the moment with us who have gotten nothing.

VEnus auto didnt send him anything, Night did. Why was he reselling stuff from Venus anyways? Wouldn't it have been cheaper just to go to venus? And the you don't have to deal with " well, night said that you said..." crap.

hey cyris3d,

where did you get the wiring info from to wire up your engine? I am starting on the wiring with my swap now and I dont even know where to start, what harness's to use or anyhting?!?

if its not to much trouble, can you do a write up on it?, or let me know where you found out what to do? thanks.

Ummm it isnt umcomon for said importer to source a clip from another importer. I had a uy at a shop tell me that. Underground motorsports I bleive. They advertise at 240sxforums. He said Venus is the number one importer of the RB series engine. He also said that a good 90% of RB sellers get their clips from Venus. Secondly, I am sure he didnt flat out say hey , I am getting your clip from Venus. If he did, anyone who bought from him got dooped, because they probably paid 3000+ for a clip that is in the 2000+ range at Venus. Third since he got that clip from Venus, Venus indirectly sent him that garbage thing called a front clip

Thats funny, we must be part of the 10% that get ours direct. I didnt realize the percentages were that high. Oh well.

Nice project you got going there.

Does that Walbro fuel pump drop right in? I don't want to have to swap a full VG30DETT assembly.Did you have to fabricate custom oil and water lines for the turbo? Is that your average T3/T04 Garrett turbo?
