Nice to see you rebuilding it. Shame you didn't go LS1....you coulda been the guinea pig for my car if and when and (HOPEFULLY) the SR flys apart.
yes and no. the main problem started when i did the burnouts.i just ran it to long in 1st gear.codyace wrote:The ring weren't the problem
The issue was you detonated the hell out of the top of them.
I'd be willing to bet you had your timing off, or the tune was entitely tooooo aggressive for the boost your were running.

wait tell you get adicted to boostStripes wrote:Personally, I find it much more respectable to build the absolute piss out of an SR. I used to glorify the ls swap until I read Brian Wilkersons build thread on ziptied. Wow...... really make me want to get another SR
block should be in friday monday at the latest. and the rest should be here tuesday.DriftBoy07 wrote:What thread?
PERSONALLY-I love the 240sx but I dont think I could continue to build & rebuild the car over and over or buy another and keep doing engine swaps. I havent really been able to drive mine so maybe my mind will change? But to me there are so many cars out there that I wanna own & build...I cant pick just one!
But maybe Ill do a KA-T, as an exception
Sorry Idaho-when are you expecting? The block that is

thank you. i am going to get a cosworth hg. phase2 has them for about the same price but for one witha 90mm bore it costs a little more. i checked out frsport and couldnt find one the right bore size but there are alot of pages i am searching right now. thanksboro drift wrote:Just a heads up for your headgasket, FRsport is selling Cosworths right now for $133.99.
I'm not sure they have one for your ginormus bore though, wouldn't hurt to check.
