SR20DET Build Questions

[s13drifter88]

Look up Dustin Ali Setayesh on facebook. He owns a local shop here in town called Midnight Auto. He is trully a wiring guru. Wired a 1JZ into an FD from scratch, no help from Tech 2 Motorsports at all... insane sh*t. He has the r34 neo25 in an s13, all gauges and the hud working, everything working, even the r34 traction control I think.

Ok cool

Are there any aftermarket steering wheels that have cruise control on them?

[PyR0NiAk]

What's wrong with your Nissan one?

Also, if you switch to a standalone ecu, you're going to lose cruise control anyway.

It's 20 years old and ugly plus I like the way the aftermarket ones look. Can I remove the controls from the steering wheel and mount them somewhere else on the car. Has that been done that yall know of?

[PyR0NiAk]

Anything is possible, but I can't imagine it looking very good. I'm sure you could wire in some aftermarket buttons on your dash somewhere, if you're creative enough.

[wance]

I'll figure something out. I have some crazy plans for this car

[wance]

I have a question about the a/c. To make the ac work on the sr all I have to do is get lines made and everything works fine. Right?

[PyR0NiAk]

Yes.

im not sure to much about the solid lifters but i heard you have to have them shimmed after so many miles, and arent they really only used for revs higher than stock redline?? i could be very wrong bc im not familiar with them

if your gunna do head work getting cam gears would be smart. BC's are good but its true you do need to degree them in to get the most potential out of them but as a drop in they are good. their first batchs of quality control on their power band werent to well,but they have fixed all that for the most part.make sure you get valme stems/seals with it while your at it. but jwt and tomei are good. i heard tomei have a very smooth power band. theres a thread here

and thats basically what every one is telling you to make lol


you should get a new head gasket. and no cometic. bc cometic i have heard blow around 350+ so that cant say much for stock, plus you dont know if the original owner(s) have ever over heated that engine.

if you do get cams you will be able to run a larger turbo and get a faster spool so journal or Dual BB or what have you really wont be to big of a problem.

i really dont think youd be able to hit 400 with a 28 unless u get a sweet a** tune and have more work done, bc the turbo u want can run the levels you are interested in but cant deliver the same cfm. so just run a t3 top mount. if you part it together it wont cost much. or if your rich, get that new borg warner turbo

im surprised no one mentioned on getting a z32 maf

heres a lil fact. the oem manifold is prob the safest one you can have bc they almost never crack. it does happen but i know many track racers who are pushing the same power you want or more just for that fact. but they do restrict

if your gunna get the isis intake manifold your gunna have to do a few things for it to work.
fabyour fuel rail so have something that can cut metal such as a dremmel. and your gunna have to bend your FPR neck a lil to clear over it and fit the gas line ontop of it.
if you do get the manifold DO NOT GET THE POLISHED ONE its mostly aesthetic and it does get very hot(so youll need to buy a thermal gasket(sykky is good)) its bc the sand matte one is more porous and disapates heat much better. and if you do get it make sure you clean out your AICV prior to install and u get a fpr. the AICV is at the bottom of the manifold VS the top like on the stock so if you ever have blow by or ur FPR has a leak in the diaphragm you wont have much fun. i learned first hand.

im sure i could be wrong about a few things but im right about the same about so please dont flame me!!! its why i hate posting lol.

good luck on your build man!!
