I got an SR!

[im two techno]

If I wasn't mistaken, the pistons are the same across the s-chassis SR20DET line up . As long as they're new they'll be good to go

Im sure the s14 s15 pistons have the coating on the crowns like the ones in the pic.

the older s13 sr pistons did not.

You shouldnt have any problem holding 400hp with the stock block. Just get a nice turbo.....like a gt2871R

yea there are so many options i just cant decide..

[got2b240]

looks good, and now you know you can be confident with what you have inside

[im two techno]

yea the sr motor is a great motor. now that i have torn this one down i can see some great enganeering. I love my KA but having a bran new 0 mile sr with a freash turbo will be alot of fun. my budget is 2700 so i think i can make it but we will see.

300 whp goal.

Bleed those lifters real good before putting them back in. did you label which hole they came out of? they are supposed to go back into the same spot. also the guides and shims. they need to go back in the exact same spots.

thats one helluva deal! congrads!

[im two techno]

i used about 100 little baggies and a sharpie.

but as far as valve shims its going to be a job

HEy i was thinking of rebuilding my stock turbo with a different compressor housing A/R 60 like this one. my question is will i need to replace my front compressor wheel to use the 60? i think the 80 is to small..

how much did the stock pistons cost you? Did you get new rods, bearings, pins and rings as well? I'll be starting my own tear down of a black top in the next couple of weeks, but on a budget.

[im two techno]

I got the s15 pistons for 225 for the set.the rings i paid 71 for the set also s15 part #

the rod bearings are 25 bucks for the lower and 25 for the upper the crank bearings are 8 bucks for a set of two i need 4 sets. the valve grind kit was 140.

im also replacing the chain guides and tensoner.

comedic head gasket arp studs

That's not nearly as costly as I thought it would be. Did you order them from a dealership or another tuner company?

You will lose compressor efficiency and more than likely not produce boost with either of those compressor covers. You have to match the wheel to the cover in order to have efficiency.

After you get done sanding the cam seats on the head and the cam caps, I would check for clearance to make sure it's not out of the spec. SR20 heads are very sensitive to tolerance.

I personally wouldn't have gotten any journal surfaces blasted but if you can get it polished again and have good clearance then it should be ok.

Looks like your proj is coming along nicely. good luck

I did not ask the machinest to blast it because i really didnt wana drill out the caps on the oil ports but he did it on his own...

I dont think he blasted the journals but he did spray paint them.and thats what i sanded off with 1500 grit so its going to be ok.

Well my rings have been on back order so soon maby i can close up the block. I painted the valve cover with PPG base /clear and the block with silver 1200 degree ceramic paint. As far as the head its going to the machine shop for 3 angle valve job.

[wildacexxx]

pretty engine

[im two techno]

This why i waned to use s15 pistons the large oil holes that allow oil to go above the oil ring and cool the ring landings. cool stuff!!!

[im two techno]

This is the old sr piston.

[im two techno]

Has anyone seen a sr motor with one crank thrust bearing?This block only has one shouldnt it have 2?

[karmakaze]

my budget is 2700 so i think i can make it but we will see.

ha! good luck with that. thats exactly what I said. now take a look at the list **** i have. and i didn't even rebuild.

anyways.. nice project. i like your car btw. looks great! keep up the good work.

Yeah, S14 and S15's have the cooling channel style pistons. I think the Blacktop S13 engines do as well.

Have you decided on how you are gonna run the fuel and ignition system? I heard you can use the stock KA distributor system somehow instead of the CAS, but not sure how. It might help with your budget though.

[im two techno]

No im just going to wait for a power fc +comander to come my way.im not in a real hurry my KA is as strong as ever so i just want to get the block/head closed up and then i will move on to other stuff.

I have the CAS plus all four coils i just need a MAF/ingnitor ecu engine harness.
