is this a great setup or what ?

[jap drifter]

blk90s13 you may want to check out http://www.full-race.com ive heard on freshalloy (i think) that he will make SR manifolds, and they are quality ****. anyone ever hear of him making nissan stuff??

also, blk90s13 why not a rear sway bar? something like the do luc bar. defintely keep us posted on the progress. :ylsuper

[SR20DET240]

anybody know what the power gains are from just porting and polishing the stock manifold?

[blk90s13]

jap i have updated my list as parts come in i got a rear sway bar from whiteline :ylsuper

and i will check this site up and see wus up with them i think i will just sell my manifold up on ebay soon

[SR20DET240]

how many miles did your halfcut have?

Jarco is telling me that it will have 40,000 - 70,000 miles. That's a lot.

They will sell me the S13 halfcut with the rear diff and fuel pump for $2,985.00 plus $500 for freight.

Now, the diff is 300 alone, so its seems like a good deal to me. Plus the only thing that is NOT garaunteed according to their site is the body panels because of shipping, but if they are good, then I can do a silvia front end also!

What do you think is the better value?

[blk90s13]

hey sounds like a deal to me i got almost the same price the milage is not too high at least you know how much you got on the engine + all the parts u get with your clip is worth money i am planning on selling most of the stuff on ebay after i am done with the clip the panels will not be the best looking panels but you will have panels maybe you can give it a little work and do a silvia front end too

i got a silvia front too its more specialy the headlights

[Munki4ce]

keep the manifold and just reweld all the joints. You can strengthen it and it will be ok, better than waiting for a new one.

BTW- I did this to mine

[apocalypserob]

i live about 45minutes out of philly. there are 2 shops very close to me that install do sr swaps. they both quoted me $1,500 for a full swap into my 89 240sx. Meyers Motorsports and Low notes audio.

[blk90s13]

drive out to NJ 07756 and save $500

[SR20DET240]

hey does NJ or PA use salt on the roads?

how do cars hold up rust wise?

just asking cuz im looking at a 240 on the NJ/PA border and it looks real nice (no rust)

just didnt know what its been through tho

[AznRide]

I thought that if you have a Down pipe, there is no need for a test pipe, or vise versa...I thought I read it somewhere. Weird. Oh, also, did you have an alarm on the list? Unless you take SR20DET240 advice, put a sticker on your car that says ... Dont' try to steal my car, because bullets hurt.

[Cyberkreig]

A reply to several people: There are shops in Harrisburg PA doing the swap for between 1k and 1200.

Cant speak for NJ, but most of PA is too poor to put salt down, we only break that out in the REAL bad weather, I have only had minor problems with rust on the cars I have owned. The worst of it is (mild) fenderwell rust on an '89 Camry.

[blk90s13]

i do have a viper alarm and i did not add my kenwood head unit and the cd changer as well but i dont consider it performance parts or sr parts

well my car parks almost in my bedroom and i plan on doing some tricks so that no one car move it or even break into it + i am getting one those stickers

NJ sux with salt in the snow but who cares any way i dont drive my car unless its nice and sunny

god bless my wifeand her grand cherokee

[I H8 UR DSM]

NY= no salt, just sand.

[blk90s13]

i hate snow any way and snow+ s13 with power = bad news

[SR20DET240]

Whats the eta on your clip?

[SRdS14]

speaking of manifolds...kmd makes a very nice manifold. its what i'm running in my car. its very strong (we had to cut of a weld for the flange to weld a t3 on there) VERY STRONG. i would recommend them to anyone. its stainless (plus its only about $550) they should charge more, but we won't tell him that). talk to henry, he's a cool guy. http://www.kmdracing.com

p.s. the manifold was dyno-proven to put down 23rwhp on a stock sr20det.~Scott

[blk90s13]

thats niice but it is over priced i rather get an HPI for what i can get a kdm for

[SR20DET240]

Hey s13,

did you get your clip or what?

[Phax]

I thought that if you have a Down pipe, there is no need for a test pipe, or vise versa...I thought I read it somewhere.

A down pipe attaches to the turbo and goes to the cat. The test pipe replaces the cat, for when you are dyno testing the car.

[implict]

its not jsut for dyno testing your car is it??

[Structure240sx]

hey apocolypserob, do u have more info on those shops injersey that do the swaps cheap. im goin to do it myself but maybe i can get an engine from them for a good price let me know [email protected]

It all depends, i went with my freind to look at an 89 that looked pretty good in the pictures but it was really just a rusty POS..... it had rust holes in the strut towers.

[blk90s13]

still not running till today i hate the cold

[S14Life]

Err, WTF is a test pipe..?

<--Newbie?

A piece of pipe that bolts on in place of the catalytic converter. It's called a test pipe because in theory, it's only supposed to be on there when you're dyno testing (ie. not driving on the public roads).

Send us a working link, that link doesnt work!

[SRdS14]

ummmmmmmm.....silviagirl, search google for kmd manifolds, sr20det. something should come up. whoever said "get an hpi manifold" is about nuts. HPI is not a KMD manifold. OBX makes HPI. ewwww...talkin about cracks.

i'm talking experience...around 400whp and not cracking.

Thanks I'll definetly look into that manifold when I get my turbo upgrade. What type of turbo are you running? I remember you IMed me when you first got the turbo cuz you were soo happy
