SR20 took a shidoobee. The oil pressure sending unit elbow snapped in half, and caused a bunch of stuff to break (cam snapped in 2, melted to cylinder head, piston ring on the 4th cylinder blown, timing chain guide broke, oil squirter in pan, ugh) Thanks to Mike at XTG, I now have a clean, running SR20 again. Here's some pics of the car.









Old pictures:







Ugh, that's when it was leaking oil...

Same thing happened to a friend of mine's Integra. Luckily he caught it before it did any real damage, the turbo is toast though.

Always run a braided line from your source, and secure the T to the engine bay somewhere.

LOLOLOLOL Yeah I bought it with the hitch. I find it hilarious. I can tow so much with my no torquez motor. I'm keeping it!

So what's the maximum weight an SR20 powered 240 can tow?

2600lbs

On topic note, looks nice. Love your car, looks like mine when I first got it minus the fogs and sr20.

Are those fogs or just daytime running lights? Are they pretty bright?

Please, I have towed way more than that with my CA18, and it has even less torque. I pulled a W124 Mercedes 300E up a really steep hill by utilizing mad clutch slippage.

That was a more of a joke, 2600lbs is the weight of the car joking as in the car should only pull itself.
