She's back at home where she belongs *SR BUILD UPDATE*

[crzykrackr]

Ok guys, it's been a while since I've been on here, but it's been even longer (way longer) since I've had the pleasure of having my car back at my house. I finally finished it up this weekend, well partially.

I've had the worst luck with this motor, but nevertheless, I still love it enough to see it through. It's been rebuilt now....3 times in the past 6 months? The first time it threw a rocker arm right after I got it built, pulled it out and had it completely torn down and checked to make sure everything was right again. Got it back and everything in, no compression on cylinders 2 and 3. Had to take it out AGAIN, send it back and have it checked. Turns out the Brian Crower cams were a little off on the 2nd and 3rd lobes. This wasn't found out until after the motor was completely dissambeled again, thinking maybe a ring or something to that nature (however unlikely it could have been). The cams were ground down and everything tested ok when it left the shop. I finally got it back in this weekend and everything bolted up, she started immediately, although my impatient ways got the best of me and I put it in without an exhaust manifold stud on the very last hole in the rear. Oh well. So now it has an exhaust leak, probably burned up my 30 dollar gasket, BUT I got to drive her home! All in all here's what I ended up with...

Rebuilt SR20DET redtop• S13 SR20DET• Arias Pistons• Eagle Rods• ARP Head Studs• Cometic 2mm Head Gasket• REV Dual Spring Valve Springs• REV Titanium Retainers• REV +1mm Intake Valves• REV +1mm Exhaust Valves• Brian Crower 264 Intake and Exhaust Cams• P2M Rocker Arm Stoppers• Borg Warner/Bullseye T3 Turbo• Top Mount Manifold• Greddy BOV• Nismo 720cc Injectors• Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump• Megan Racing Fuel Pressure Regulator• 2 Stage Boost Controller• Tial 38mm Wastegate• Circuit Sport Oil Catch Can• Koyo Aluminum Radiator• 12’’ Electric Fan• Wideband o2 Sensor• Front Mount Intercooler• Apexi Power FC D-Jetro• B&M Short Shifter• Autometer Cobalt Series Gauges• Tanabe Sustec Pro Coilovers

That's pretty much everything I have for the car, although I'm SURE I'm forgetting a few things. I still have a few things to stick in, like the Power FC, Catch can, o2 sensor....and the FPR, as well as go through and clean up the wiring and hoses. OH, and get a new manifold stud and gasket. Anywho, here are some pics I just took today.

Oh, and a bird managed to fly up through the shifter plate hole into the car while it was at my friends house in his driveway, $hit all over my steering wheel and seats.

white hatch's mmmmm!!! how much hp's you shooting for?you should really upgrade your MAF

[fast_s13]

good luck man.. i havent had the best luck with my motor either...but hopefully this time everything worksd out for the both of us... also why would he need to upgrade his maf if he is gonna run a apexi power fc d-jetro?.he will be running a map sensor

[crzykrackr]

Yeah, I won't need to upgrade the MAF since I'll be eliminating it altogether and using a MAP sensor. Like I said, I still have some stuff to clean up/fix, but when it's all said and done I'm looking for 400whp or more.

[slik_s13]

gotcha. i didnt know that. i dont know too much about the apex power fc d-jetro device.

[crzykrackr]

Yeah, I can't wait to stick it in. I personally don't know anyone who has it, but from what I heard, the flexibility of it is nice.
