Vote on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best)

Ok I started out with buying a stock 93 240sx with a ka motor. The first thing I did was changed out the front end to a sylvia front end, and of course I had to go with the sr20det (which had ever bolt on you could think of and was @240hp)....which lasted about a year and my oil pump went out and messed up a whole bunch of **** on her lol.

After the sr20det I was thinking about fixing it up to be one savage sr but I decided to go with an RB25DET. Below I have some pictures of my progress............let me know wut all you guys out there think..(CLICK ON ANY PICTURE TO SEE IT IN A LARGER SIZE....._Here is my 240sx (before I installed the RB25DET....aka donor car lol

My ka sohc being pulled......

Here is the RB25DET front clip. We drove 8 hours one way to get her....isnt she beautiful??

The RB25DET still in the front clip I purchased in LA

After I pulled the RB25 I took another picture for you guys to see...

Here is a side view after I just finished painting the block and cleaning up everything...

Thats me putting back on the oil pan....I took it off so I could paint it and install the oil pump...

Finally finished cleaning the intake manifold (which took 2 hours )

My buddy is cleaning the block before he puts on the oil pump and the water pump....Finished intalling the new oil pump, water pump, and hks timing belt...

Painted the valve covers red.......

These is where im at rite now.....i will have more pictures of the motor in the car this weekend....

haha Your swap cannot be rated as long as you are presently a member of the NRRBA. It's in the code of conduct.

jk it looks like things are coming along well for you.

No really it's ready now. I just need to use elbow grease and it's ready. I was only waiting for the exhaust manifold
