[hvp014]

*****UPDATE****

hey, sorry for lack of pictures my sister took my camera on a business trip so more pics should be here by wensday... but the real news is I just bought a CA motorset, and will be included in this buildup. I'm so pumped right now, and thanks to my dad for spotting me the extra cash. So it should be here in about 1 week give or take and their will be pictures.. here she is now waitng to come to me.



wish me luck boys in going boosted!

[Chief_Suicide]

Good luck with the new motor.... looking good!

[RWP]

Your ride is looking awsome ive been doing the exact same thing at school for the past 3 weeks only difference is you have a CA ( Its a nice engine to say the least) and i bought my self a TT RB26 which i picked up for 3,000 (its a ex racing engine with 90k KM on it thats why it was cheap.) But yeah its coming along very nicely keep us updated with the pics!

[bt2s14]

Good choice on the CA. Nice work you have done so far, can't wait to see more.

[hvp014]

Good luck with the new motor.... looking good!

hey thanks chief for the support, btw, are you headin out to Carlie this may? It would be great to meet up and show off the 240's. much thanks

and RP hell yea I hear you, Boost is gonna be so sweet, and shops in schools rock so hard.. ps man post up some pics!!!

[MOB240]

[hvp014]

Same here man, thats why I decided to get my *** working on my car... Hs seniors FTW!!! lol

[hvp014]

ok I got her in today.. first I got to say the motor is in such a nice condition and the shipping was unbelieveably fast (2 days) So you guys just want the pics..

Yea got the gas tank all clean and reundercoated.. boooring..

Okay the good stuff, here she is in the truck waiting for school.

Got it off the pallet and on the ground, so we can pull the transmission..

Got the trans off and scored a sweet Veil Side shift Nob!! which was actually in really nice shape.

Pulled the clutch and flywheel, good shape, it looks like theirs more rust than their is heat abuse, probably was sitting for a while. And Its an Exceedy and Lightened Flywheel! Double Score!!

Here you can see the clutch and its not in to bad of shape, but I'm probably gonna resurface the flywheel and use my new clutch off my old motor.

Nissan Pride FTW!!

Another sweet goodie!! APEX-i air filter!!

Money shot, the turbo feels so freaking nice, spins freely and ZERO movement/shaft play/ whatever!

Heres my next set of questions tho, I got the ecm with a sticker on it and the MAF wires spliced. Is this a bigger MAF?

another shot of it, sorry for the shotty pics, its a 4 pin set up.. any comments on what it is??

And finally the ECM, with its sticker, is their a way to see if its chipped? Anyone ever here on D-Tech working on CA's??

And my next Problem/ question, I found this plug right next to the Oil Filter and this nipple right under it, which appeared to be leaking oil, is this a removal of the dummy light and the nipple is for a oil pressure gauge???

And we had just enough time to pull 1 valve cover where my greatest joy came, the cams looks SO NICE, no scratches an no gunky in the cover!

Yea the oil was light brown, didn't smell burnt and no metal or anything, pulled all 4 plugs and they looked great, harness was in awesome shape and everything was included. So overal I say I made out allright.

hey where did u get the motor set from??

[hvp014]

hey where did u get the motor set from??

I got the motor set from a shop in canada, I took a risk and I think it payed off, I'll know for sure once shes in. Their website is http://www.sunrisejdmmotors.com/ which sucks. They also sell on eBay, where I bought it from http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1actually their selling another motor, but it looks half as good as mine. So I think I took a chance and lucked out. But I called and they were nice, they even were honest enough to show a sensor they broke, which was part of the A/C. The warenty is 30 start up with head and block covered. I won't reccomened them just yet but so far its looking awesome.And the total was $1349 shipped to where I work, because we have a fork lift. So just be careful and ask a junk load of questions! good luck

[boriquaS13]

Very nice buildup hvp14 I've been following along with great interest.Keep up the good work, btw the motor does look damn clean inside I think you'll be in good shape.

[hvp014]

Got the ac compressor and bracket out.any one want to buy? and im selling my SMIC too



pulled the left valve cover, check this out..

body shop pics should be here tommorow!!peace

[hvp014]

Bosy shop update... Pretty much all of the holes are filled now the fibreglassing begins..

The drivers front wheel well hole.. FIXED.

The drivers side whole quarter panel. FIXED.

Pass. side quarter Fiberglassed.

Pass side rear wheel well. Still needs a little more work.

Not much else I'm expecting to have the project completely done in 5-6 weeks. And am planning to install the motor this weekend.other than that, comments concerns? peace!

[seejaytoo]

metal work looks really nice, freakin way to go with the CA oh and high school shops ftw, whats even better is rockin it back in high school and bein so cool your instructor lets you come back and work on ur stuff whenever you want anywho keep on truckin

[le_ryan]

hey man, your doing a great job !! I like that you went with the CA, for some odd reason, i like the way the CA motor looks as opposed to the SR .. maybe just me.But great job man, keep it up!!

[Logan76]

Thats not the stock CA turbo, the SR turbo has the 2 bolt inlet, my CA turbo didnt...if you want i could even show you compairison photo's. NVM the CA turbo is the 60AR turbo the SR is I believe 80AR, or something, I guess our CA's have different stock turbos...

[hvp014]

Quick weekend update,

The motor is ready to swap, which shall begin monday, again swap pics will follow.

For now, found a fitting and got my oil pressure sender installed.

Got my SS dump and downpipe,

And got the CA flywheel all clean and ready to reuse.

and finally a random pic of the work bench?

other than that, this is the first time i want the weekend to be over, and actually want to goto school~

[dsc4130]

looks really really good cant wait to see it dont

[PapaSmurf2k3]

you gotta marry the body chick. How old is she? anyway... good job man, reminds me of my build. It kinda sucks though how you put that work into the SOHC and now are using a different motor.

[epoch707]

so is this your senior project for highschool?

Yea I need to, can't beat a girl who paints your car, and then kicks my *** in GOW. And for the SOHC, Its good to have a good backup motor right?

so is this your senior project for highschool?

Yea, I figured I might as well do something my senior year instead of sitting around, plus what better way to spend all of my paychecks!?!

looks really really good cant wait to see it done

Yea me neither, I want to hear it run by the end of this week, and if it does expect a crappy digi cam video!

Thanks for the support its cool to know someone is checking out what I'm doing. If anyones going out to NOPI or Carlie, in PA, this year this car will be their.Have a good weekend

[Logan76]

When is the car going to be ready for paint/painted? Hopefully the motor goes in well and you have no problems, If I were you I would pay the extra 90$ and get a walboro, its worth it.

[roplusbee]

Wow. This is impressive. I don't know how I missed this before, but I am definitely watching now. Awsome job and keep up the good work. The chick you said does the bodywork is a definite keeper. Good luck and I'm watching now. Be easy.

Rob

[hvp014]
