Looking pretty good, and the fact that you got all that in your 240 at that price makes me

LoL yea i was pretty excited whe n idrove that baby home. calling all my buddies and crap. and i was like mid night lol. i picked it up between too people who were buying it, the kid siad he felt bad selling it to me cause one person was on there way with the money and anotehr had just left to get theirs, and my dad and i showed up with the cash in hand.

BUt back to the CAS i need help timing it. i will do soem more searching but yea. and i want to make sure my cam timing is right on as well.

[idahotuner]

where is ILikeMy240sx when you need him or HIJACKER.

I need to knwo about CAS and setting cam timing, i want to know if i have it set correctly. i searched all morning and cant find it.

[duffman1278]

IM hijacker????

[duffman1278]

I dunno if this might helphttp://jimwolftechnology.com/w...0.PDF

[idahotuner]

hey thanks, but i used that allready to install them, but that is about an sr20 not the det. so the timing is a little different. and they are talking about a distributor on the back of the exhaust cam.

i did pick up some intake studs today for 4.75 for two. so whe nmy greddy intake comes i cna put it on this weekend.

oh i thin k i might borrow and engine stand so i can ad stuff to my motor when iget money to buy it. but can push it in the corner to do body work.

How To Set CAS Timing on the SR20DET

Resetting your engine's timing back to factory setting is pretty straightforward thanks to the markings provided on the CAS, cams, and pulleys.

This guide assumes that the timing chain is installed correctly. If there is any doubt on the installation of the timing chain, do not proceed as damage to your pistons/valves can occur.

Hand crank the engine until the two dark chain links line up with the notches on the cam sprockets. When the links line up with the notches, the timing marks on the pulley, the cam sprocket notches, and the dark links should be in a similar position as shown in the image below (Fig. 1), but with the crank pulley set to the 2nd mark to the left instead of the 1st. Figure 1

After lining up the crank/cams, remove the two bolts holding the CAS, unplug it, and remove it from the cylinder head. On the CAS, there will be two notches on the shaft that are right next to each other. Looking at the CAS with the black cap towards your body, rotate the shaft until the right notch lines up with the notch on the CAS housing. Put the CAS back into the head carefully. If this procedure is done correctly, the second notch on the shaft should now line up with the notch on the housing, and the CAS position (can rotate it +-30 or so degrees...) should be centered. See image below for correct positioning of the CAS. Replace the screws & plug in your CAS. Start your engine and let it warm up to normal operating temperature. After warmup, your engine should be idling around 850rpm - check your timing with a timing gun. Stock factory timing is at 15 degrees, which is the 2nd to last mark on the crank pulley.

awsome!!! I think I messed up on the timing marks on the CAS when I installed it, I'll align it this weekend in hopes that I fix my timing better, before the timing light

[idahotuner]

yea i printed that out and am going to use it to try and set my cams timing and stuff tonight.

[idahotuner]

well i didnt get to work on my car tonight seeing as i shot my buck. so i guess i will do it tommorrow.

[idahotuner]

well i wont get to work on my car tonight either but i will tomorrow put my new intake mani fold on, which should come tomorrow and i will put my motor on my new motor stand.

[idahotuner]

well i have to get a new intake cam, becasue when i put the sproket on it was alined correctly ly and i couldnt tell and when i tightend the bolt dow it broke of the lip that the sprocet sits on. and i have metal down uner my timing chain that i will have to try to flush out. major PITA i am going to call bc and see if i cna get one cam.

[idahotuner]

well i just called brian crower and i got one cma for 100 bucks instead of buying two cams for 255 which makes me not so pissed.i just have to get my timeing on and flush out the front of the motor.

[duffman1278]

Wow that sucks

[idahotuner]

yea i used a magnet and got most of the big chunks out and all so idont really think any got down inside but this is jsut a saftry percaution i will take pictures later when iam less cranky and feel like looking at it long enough to do it.

[idahotuner]

started taking parts off my old intake manifold and installing thm on my greddy one. the instuctions are hard and confusing because their in japanese it sucks. i can only go by the pictures and guess stuff. if some one knows of any thing that could help me with this stuff that would be cool. i have pictures that i will post later.

i hope i ma not getting in over my head in this project .i cant wait tell i can start putting stuff back together.

but i just hope i get it right.

[duffman1278]

i look forward to hearing your numbers

[idahotuner]

ya know this thread and Ilikemy240's write up are probably my favorite headwork write ups...well done...

i look forward to hearing your numbers

hey thnaks , i reread Ilikemy240sx vuild thread tons of times before i started mine, and as you can see he gave me alot of information on the product and decisions for the head.

[idahotuner]

so i was going to d oa article thread on switching parts over from my stock intake manifold to my greddy one. but i am having enough trouble with it that i dont think i will. i will just put pic on here of what i am doing instead. to start out these instuctions didnt help much. i felt lie ka 5 year old that couldnt read and could only look at the pictures.

Ya all in japanese

so i kinda had to go by pics and use some common since. i didnt finish the job. becasue ididnt have any thread lock, which i will pick up tomorrow.pic of stock manifold with everyting on it.pic of greddy manifold with nothing on it.the to manifold side by side. notice how more airodynamic the geddy one is. for increased air flow.i started off by taking off the throttle body and putting it on the new manifold.it was held on by four 8 mm alen wrench studs.this pitur told me to chang the position of the spring on the throttle pully so the pull rotated back about 90 degrees making it line up with the thing the cable slids through.you will want to take this part of the stock manifold apart from the runners. t oget to stuff o nthe inside.the parts that came with the greddy intake manifold minus the tubes and hoses.you will want to remove the throttle cabel runner along wit the studs to put on the other manifold.it goes here.use a pair of pliers to thread studs into holes.

and thne bolt on throttle cable runner

this was as far as i got tonight. plus taking my transmission off and trying to get my mottor set up on my motor mount.

i will add more stuff about the vaccum hold and plug and the rest of the stuff to switch from the amnifolds later.

i do need some help with some of the insturctions and if soem one would translate the instructions for me that would be GREAT.

[idahotuner]

i made erros in typing that i willl come back and fix, i am just to tired to bother with it tonight.

[duffman1278]

That manifold is sooo sexy haha nice pics. Japanese instructions ftl though

[idahotuner]

yea. i am kindaoutta money now. nad it sucks. went makes me spend alot more then normal. so i probably wont be getting my turbo next month. i will be waiting tell the end of december and then ored it. that way i have enouhg money to make it through the month and for xmas presents.

[duffman1278]

I feel that man! xmas season SUCKS, spending so much on random crap for people lol. Well gl with that

[idahotuner]

i would rather buy something for my self then for soenome else. and end up having them get me something i dotn want or need.

[idahotuner]

well i got my motor on the standfinally so i can get to my oil pan and take it off and flush out the front to be safe. will work on it a little bit tonight. hopefully get soem pics up here too

[karmakaze]

while you are in there you might as well bypass your coolant lines that run through the throttle body.

[idahotuner]

how would you do that , pics plese. i need help with the greddy intake manifold as weel. soem stuff is straight forward but other stuff is confusing.

[karmakaze]

there is a writeup on it somewhere. but you either splice the water lines together with a union or remove one of them and connect the other to where the old one was. it is not hard to figure out.

i can't help you much, as i have a s14, but your just going to have to do what i did.

take a look at what needs to run where, and make it work. without that mentality you will never get it done.

when i installed my intake i had to rob a fitting from the oem manifold, modify the bracket that holds the throttle cable, and custom make a line to go from the IACV.

now, since yours is an s13 it will be different. but you get the idea. just think about it logically and get it done.

[idahotuner]

yea that is what i have doone so far, following pictures and stuff but some stuff does nt make since. lol i will ty to find that write up

[idahotuner]

well guys i havent worked o nym car for a while and this wekeend i got pissed cause my gf was beign a flake and i kick my friends dad's pickup and now i have to pay for that. so probably no more thing for the sr for a while lol. unless we can get the dent out with out the paint chipping and have it look have way desenct.
