SR20 Parts Review

[VectorVA]

I've finally gotten my name on a S13 Blacktop front clip from Phase2 and it will be in by the end of the month. I'm getting ready to order the parts I have been looking at on their website and I was hoping for some comments and advice. I plan on driving this car both as a track/drift car and also as a daily driver and I'm worried I might get parts that will make it a pain to drive daily.

So far this is on my list;Tomei 255 Fuel PumpGreddy R-Spec IntercoolerGreddy HotpipeApexi GT Exhaust w/ SilencerNismo Engine/transmission MountsACT 6 Puck ClutchCusco Lightweight Flywheel

and their basic swap kit which includes;

SR water pump NGK Platinum Heat Range 7 Plugs 3pc turbo gaskets (exhaust, inlet, outlet) valve cover gasket spark plug cover gasket OEM Nissan SR20 Upper/Lower radiator hose OEM Nissan SR20 thermostat 3pc drive belts OEM Nissan Oil Pan (replaced often dented pan) OEM SR20 Nissan oil filter OEM Nissan Z32 fuel filter K&N style air filter kit Megan 3" stainless downpipe

The only two things that I would like to change in that kit would be the downpipe and the air filter, I'd like to try and persuade them into letting me swap out the Megan downpipe and K&N filter for the matching Apexi GT downpipe and the Greddy Suction Intake, and I'll make up the difference.

I'm pretty sure I don’t need anything else, after all I'm ordering a front clip. I do plan on using the SR's stock radiator and fan w/ shroud.

[SR 240Z]

our sr20det in our 240z has an act 6puck with extreme pressure plate, its is really harsh, if you try to slip the clutch softly it chatters. Its driveable everyday if you're into that type of feeling like i am. Clutch is great though thats for sure.

yea, i was gonna say the same thing.......you may want to consider a full face clutch, espically if you plan on daily driving. and get a koyo, you seriously won't regret it. your also gonna need a boost gauge and a ka temp sender so your temperature gauge will work, oil pressure gauge is nice to have. also invest in rocker arm stoppers (they save engines). remember your also probally gonna want to get some nice tires too
