Idaho Tuner's 240/|SR Build thread

[idahotuner]

well i found this fo an install of a short sifter. a little confusing. but we will see if we can get it too work . now

[idahotuner]

ok guys we got the motor i ntoday. it was a little bit of a hassel with everything bolted on the block allready.getting ready to take the hood off.clean engine bay wit hhood off and all the wires pulled to the sides.jacking the motor up to drop it indropping the motor in. i put a sheet across the front so if it bumped it wouldnt scratch the nice new paint.and here it is i nthe bay

pretty sweet looking i must say. the motor looks so much smaller i nthe compartment. but yea it is nice. i just have to finish putting the drive shaft on and hook up wires and the such.i start school tomorrow so i need to get ready for that toehr wise i would have finished stuff up tonight

i know but i am scared to try a wire tuck. lol i am going to a do a small one for sure.just right now they are all laying out. pretty much the only wires that need a real tuck are right by the battery and those are ugly i am not sure what to do with them yet. lol

[duffman1278]

I plan to move those, and the relay box inside the the car under the dash

[Slideways^Jordan]

Looking nice man good job.

[Didderson]

Looks great Ben! Yeah the motor looks smaller in there. I'm glad you cleaned up the engine bay before installing. The bay looks great too. Where did you get the green power brace/bar? From our fabricators? I like it.I thought it might be Tein since it's green. Finally another person who likes the green as much as I do ^ haha.

It's nice to see both our motors in the bay now .GL in school 2morrow.

im not sure what wire near the battery ur talking about but the main harness can easily be fed through the fender, thats how mine is

I thought it might be Tein since it's green.

the power brace is from Sustec/ Tanabe it was a redish orange so i painted it green to match the valve cover and fuse box lids. it was on the car when i bought it.

i do like green. i am trying to make it so therer isnt to much but enough to look nice.

[idahotuner]

well at this rate with school i am not sure how much i will actually be getting done on my car. hopefully i wont feel as sick as i did today after school. but i think it is from snowboarding lol hitting 50 ft jumps isnt the samrtest thing.

[brizanden]

[idahotuner]

[idahotuner]

[brizanden]

[idahotuner]

no i havent worked on my car since sunday. i am kidna waiting to put it in so i can put the transmission fluid in. but right now i am pretty poor. lol. with buying school supplies. it sucks.

[brizanden]

i hear ya man i got lucky this quarter only had to buy $90 worth of books cause i get to use two of them again, but i was lookin at the diagram u posted and the wording they use make it alot harder then what it need s to be lol

[idahotuner]

yea my mom paid for my books, but i paid for my ti 83 calculator. and xmas presents for my family so i am broke lol.we celibrate xmas after xmas to save money lol. not really so my ssiter could do it with us

but yea i will use the pictures to figure out how to do it. once i figure out how to install it i wil ltake it apart and do a write up on it i think. becaseu couldnt find a write up any where

[brizanden]

yeah i bought presents $700 including my gf car stereo i got her that is way way better then mine they suck lol.and u shoulda asked around for thos caculaters i have like three rom highschool and woulda gave u one for like $20

[idahotuner]

yea i could have got on here, but the problem was i needed it pronto. and i waited casue i didnt know what one i would need. and then when i found out i needed it right away. lol

[Jyon9689]

The build is coming along! The more I see the green, the more I like it..

[idahotuner]

yea i need to paint something green up by the brake fluid holder. so the green is balance. i think there is a little sensor up there that is allready a different color of green that i will do i nthe same green.

[duffman1278]

Yea the green looks pretty sweet, just dont get carried away with it lol or else it'll be a REAL bright engine bay.

[idahotuner]

that is al lthe green you will see except for one little thing more i am going to do.

[MadTechMike]

Grabber Green is basically the best color, im psyched on that valve cover. If you go with 300zx brakes may i suggest painting them grabber green too, mine came out brilliant.

[idahotuner]

i am going with q45 brakes. i was thinking about doing them green. but now i am thinking black. as i am trying to keep the exterior all black. but we will see.
