[zero_gripS13]

i do have one question ive seen in the fsm and fast that something goes in the hole represented by the picture.. the cover doesnt bolt to that location, im trying to figure out what goes in this hole to the right i know is a bolt which i have there, but whats the circled hole (threaded hole) for???

[zero_gripS13]

ade more progress timing is done, covers on working on power steering alternator sat i got to tackle replacing all the hose on the intake.. its looking good.

[zero_gripS13]

well tomorrow it back to work.. power steerinng pulley is bent i think i have another one so going to swap that out get the alt/starter tested and replace all intake hoses and finish up the intake side, just got the exhaust gaskets so im going to put the exhaust and turbo back on... getting close guys hopefully in a week or so ill be swaping.

[sjbsuperman1425]

It's optional for the FWD cover as it uses a stud and nut to to secure it. The RWD units don't use it, so it's vacant.

[zero_gripS13]

thanks dee yea i just kinda figure it wasnt import lol...

ill have new pics tomorrow.. for yas :P..

[zero_gripS13]

batteries died in camera only got one or 2 pics but cant upload right now.. didnt get the turbo on spent the beginning of the day scrapping metal and the rest chasing hoses down... got the intake side done and power steering on. i cant get the dam snap ring off the turbo to clock it to get the exhaust side done...broke my snap ring pliers......

question if u bypass the tb coolant line do u need to block the in/out spots on the tb ?? i just ran a hose from where to lines go looping it, but i didnt plug the tb wheres the hoses used to connect. (looks like coolant just goes in and out and that there would be no need to plug it. by the way im using the ka tb.

Diggin' the battleship gray block.

[zero_gripS13]

its ford engine grey according to the can i like it alot.. heres some updates.. im basically finished have a few thing to do vacuum wise, boost gauge and butterflys and belts but other than that im ready to swap her in, need to start tearing the ol ka out..

hers some updated pics, not most recent but a stage or so before completion. my camera died so there cell phone pics but still get the idea :P.

[zero_gripS13]

oh and i guess i should include a list of parts for those interested..

cp 84mm pistonsrecon rods with arp boltsacl race rod bearings nissan mainska tbdual exhaqust camssr t25 for now

thats the just of the engine and if it doesnt blow on first crank lol the luxury of having a motor with 0 miles.. hopefully ill have years of drifting with this engine no major problems ive taken my time to clean torque and double triple check.

[biosehnsucht]

welcome to the CA19DET crowd

the 1mm may be "not much of a difference" but even 1mm overbore makes a definite torque difference down low

[zero_gripS13]

i never thought about that lol hell yea sr20 aint got nothing now lol...

but yea im just exciting to get this done.

[sicj]

Even if you got 85mm pistons it would only be a 1.9L. 2.0L would need 87mm pistons which would be a .160" overbore (which you can't physically bore out to without hitting water jackets)

The stock bore (3.2687") to a .040" larger bore = 3.3087"...84mm pistons makes it out to be a 1.85L

[biosehnsucht]

Once upon a time, for the right amount of money, you could buy a 2l bore/stroke kit from Tomei.

Does the storage unit have AC power?

[zero_gripS13]

could outlet 5 units away i run lots of extension cords lol.

[progman]

I did my first CA swap in my mother's driveway and helped a friend do a vg swap in his 300 at his mother's s***ty garage. If you can do all this with a storage shed you will love working on cars when you get your own garage! I finally got my own and it makes things sooo much more clam and organized. all my tools are where they should be and I know where everything is. Keep at it! the engine looks awesome.

[The_Chosen_One]

Take a pic in the sun so we can see that sweet a** cover.

[zero_gripS13]

[The_Chosen_One]

[zero_gripS13]
