Hey guys, Don't really post much on NICO but I guess I should start, so what better way than to start my build thread and let you guys see what I am spending all my money on.
The story starts back in October 2007 when I bought my 1989 240sx Coupe. Motor was already swapped and had some nice bolt on's (TB exhaust,suspension,AFC, etc) Car was awesome and when I put a diff. in it, it was even better. Well July of this past summer car started running really weird so Hanna (Best1Tuning) took a look at it, turned out to be some wire gremlins so I decided to get a street tune at 14psi and the car had never ran better! Well after the tune I decided to do a Compression check, and this is where the bad news comes, 150 in 1,2, n 3 cylinders but 4th barely made 90. Delt with the car for about another month, then I said ok time to go big or go home.
Tore the motor out and broke the whole thing apart and turns out.....
Checked cylinder walls and 3rd & 4th walls had some scortching.....
So after I had the whole motor apart I sent the Block and the Head to R&W Enterprise in Marshalton PA, Shop is just a guy and his father, have had the shop open for decades and they do awesome work. With the motor and head getting worked on I started ordering some parts......
CP 9:0:1
Eagle H-Beams
Apex'i triple layer head gasket
ARP Head Studs, BC 272 Cams, Tomei Solid Lifters
Nismo Motor & Trans Mounts
Exedy Twin Disc
Greddy RAS
TiAL 50mm BOV
Stock Fuel Rail w/ Tomei 740cc
Garrett GT35R
Well after a little while and some money getting saved up, I got the Block and the Head back......Block got 0.20 Bore with fresh deck and polished crank, and head got full port & polish with full radius exhaust valve job and a 4 angle on intake side. Manley 7mm SS valves and Manley Springs & Retainers
Shortly after getting the motor and everything back together and all gaskets done and cured bolted trans on and dropped motor back in.....
Well now I am just cleaning some things up in the engine bay, and doing some little wire things and new front harness. I am hoping that it will be getting started soon... Stay tuned for more updates!!!! p
