wow this here engine's perty!

[NeedCAforS13]

hehe...i started opening up my engine today, and it is PRETTY! so clean! (granted i only got to the valve cover's today:D) but there was some old oil pooled up in there that was clean too! Everytime i take a piece off I'm amazed at how clean or new it is...the gaskets on the valve covers are brand new! as is the timing belt and all the accesory belts!

And I painted my valve covers a nice dark blue too today!

now all i need is the rear main seal, and to hammer out this oil pan (tomorrow)...I also need a downpipe, but ahh...mere technicalities!

I've replaced all the heater hoses, vaccum lines, and oil lines to the turbo...any other suggestions guys?

Its gettin close to time to put it in!!! YEAAA!!!!:ylsuper

Whats up Sean? I finally picked up my motor today from JGYcustoms.com..... It is one of the cleanest motors i've seen for an import. I opend up the valve cover and phew~ i had to shut my eyes the glare from the sun on the shiny cams was hurtin my eyes!! The clutch and flywheel look like they were never even used, actually the only part that makes it look a little old is some scratches on the valve cover but thats no biggie. I would highly recommend JGYcustoms, they were great to deal with and were very helpful, though I guess I shouldnt speak too soon until I get everything installed and running, but otherwise Im really please....definately worth the 4 1/2 hour drive there and back. Good luck with your swap man!

lets just hope your guy's bottom ends are still in good condition cause those are what count the most!!!

also did you pick up SS braided oil lines for the turbo? if so where i need some coolant and oil lines !

[Spectre_240sx]

have you figured out what downpipe you're getting yet? I heard that the CA downpipe won't line up with KA / SR cat-backs.

[NeedCAforS13]

wow so many questions!:D

whered you get it

price?

clip?

motor set?

engine only?

got if from libero usa...for $400 engine and $200 transmission...thats all that came from there...TheMadScientist got me the harness and all other electronics (MAFS, ignitor, etc...) and all the seals and stuff i'm getting either from autozone or Nissan...

Ian I haven't got the radiator hoses yet, but I was referring to the smaller heater hoses...you just measure the interior diameter of your current ones, and figure out how much you need..and go to autozone. They sell the stuff by the foot and its cheap!

Rick that sounds awesome! just like mine:D I'll be starting weekend after next it looks like!!! keep us posted man! (did you find out about the p/s pump and a/c compressor for me?)

lets just hope your guy's bottom ends are still in good condition cause those are what count the most!!!

also did you pick up SS braided oil lines for the turbo? if so where i need some coolant and oil lines !

now you've gone and jinxed us jon:mad: if something self combusts when i start this thing i'm gonna come find your a$$!!!

and no i just cleaned the factory hard pipes, and replaced the small ammount of hose that goes to the hard pipe on the turbo...

I don't see why it shouldn't...in fact i'm almost 100% sure it does...the SR downpipe on a CA won't work...but a CA pipe will bolt to a KA cat back...

yo sean, I do have a PS pump, but no AC... sorry.... I was lookin at my motor again today and noticed that there are 2 pieces that are broken off on my intake manifold, right near the throttle body.... one is the AAC vavle and the other is to the right of it, some light blue cylinder looking thing. Any idea what those are or if I really need them? let me know please

[Spectre_240sx]

Sean

Yeah, that's what I thought too, I mean exhausts are chassis specific, so why wouldn't the downpipe bolt to the exhaust?

[slw240sx]

the SR downpipe will work just needs to be cut and rewelded to fit !

[NeedCAforS13]

i meant direct bolt up:D and why use an sr downpipe when you can get a CA one for the same price?

My AAC valve was broken too (seems to be a common problem) but I got one from TMS...And the light blue cylinder...might it be faded green? I have a green cylinder I'll let you have from mine (not broken) cause I have extras from TMS:D

How much for the P/S pump? Maybe we could work something out...discount it some and I'll give you the green thing;)

I'll be on AIM later Rick,

[Nathan]

You use the SR downpipe because its mo-friggin hard to find a CA one in the states!

[NeedCAforS13]

no its not...i can get you one for the same price as an sr one (well more accurately enjuku racing can) but thats where i'll get mine!
