My first swap in progress XD

[RUFFLES11]

i always liked 240's and i always wanted one but i didnt kno so much of em so i did a lot of researching and found out quite a few and im still learning to this day XD

so i bought a 89 240sx hatch (shell) cuz i knew i wanted 2 get an SR





so here it is stock most of it, after i took off sum parts XD

it went 2 starbucks n got sum

so i decided ima just f*** around with this thing meanwhile im saving up for and sr20 XD so i decided 2 start taking shiet off it XD





den i took out the KA since i got my SR already

hmmm sexy...

a lil bit more sexy... (not the cleanest but im happy)

so i finnally got it in n took off the EGR, AC, and PS(for now at least XD)

n took off dat nasty white writting (after i got sum paint thinner in my eye, dont ask XD)

so right now im waiting for my radiator, cooling tank, clutch line, and pedal 2 come in XD n got my clutch mc already

[RUFFLES11]

OOOO n i got a question if n e one is viewing this n knows da answer XD

since oil got in da cooling system n made da brown stuff w.e XD, so im sure dat went 2 da back part of the firewall for da heater stuff, n so would it be safe running da sr's heater hoses in dere since it still has dat stuff in dere??? or should i by pass it???

[OM3GA]

English is a powerful thing. Your'e going to get s*** from a lot of people on here if you dont use proper terms.

I'll be nice however. If you think there is oil in the heater core take the upper hose off where it connects to the other hose going to the engine, pull the lower hose off the heater core and use a hose to blast water through the top hose, then you should be good.

+1 for a clean engine so far.

[RUFFLES11]

oh okay then thanks for the tip OM3GA

yea i tried that but i honestly didnt see any thing comming out from the bottom one, i think it might be clogged? ill probally just go find a new heater core in the junkyard or something

[OM3GA]

Try blowing through the upper hose, im pretty sure it needs some pressure at least to flow through the core. Changing the heater core is one of the biggest pains ever.

[huey29]

Looks like a clean pick up an fresh starting point i picked up an 89 hatch with the same wheels in may Damani right?

[RUFFLES11]

well the wheels came with it, i didnt buy it for the car, but im probally thinking about selling them and just go stock for now because i need more $$$

you doing the sr20det swap too in yours???

[RUFFLES11]

OOO and in response to OM3GA

yea i just need like a thicker hose i guess to clamp to the hose and top hole because when i spray like that, it goes everywhere XD lol

[huey29]

yup mine came with them to and yes im in the process of doing the sr swap right now..at first i planed on getting it an rebuilding it all myself when i picked it up over summer..but needless to say nothing ever goes as planed right? A lot of stuff started not going my way and now its at a local shop an i should have it back this weekend.

[RUFFLES11]

Ooo so the shop is doing the swap for you???

I was thinking of doing that but idk i wanted to give it a shot n see if i can do it. My first big project and i think stuff is going well so far but yea man i get you on stuff not going your way.

[RUFFLES11]

Wut kind of rad??? Or wut kind sr20???

[Morph]

Radiator. Had the sr for...geez 5 years now.

[RUFFLES11]

lol my bad man XD

i just got my coolant reservoir, clutch and line 2day.

i put the reservoir up, but the clutch pedal dont line up so well with the master cylinder ( the clipping part with the pedal to the cylinder) so im guessing it might be the holes because i tried moving it around and nope XD

[RUFFLES11]

i got kinda bored the day before i was waiting for my clutch pedal and line to come in so i did this lol

and almost finished (kinda)



need to figure out what i should do with the battery because im planning to get a front mount intercooler soon lol and also need to buy a DIF fan controller
