Thanks for the advice, but seriously get a clue. I appreciate you trying to help out I guess but nothing you mentioned is even true. Maybe cam scoring (which is actually pretty rare), but its not the first bad thing youd see on a bad engine.

Again thanks for the input.

I would really like to see, and possibly ride in this car when its finished. You are close also. Plan on making any local meets? We have a big meet at Road Atlanta in July. Its called Zoom-Fest. You should come check it out.

I wonder why the last 6 or so SR20 redtops that i helped various people source all had scored cam journals and damaged head components. Blacktops which are newer have a lesser chance.

Of course it's not the first bad thing, because you need to take the head off to see it. If it didn't happen to you, maybe you got lucky or got a good motor.

Then again, what would i know about nissan engines.

then again...what would HE know...or the wealth of knowledge of the people within shouting distance...if it was that important, don't you think he would have already done it?




J, I ordered radiator, fuel system, mounts and all that other crap to make it run. I might do the harness myself, donno yet. Should be running without exhaust by the beginning of may. I got the cobra oil pan fixed too, should be running today and getting an alignment this weekend, had to drop the whole K member to get the pan off. (sorry for posting on your thread but I need to up my post count to PM)

LOL. I trust you.

Speedo
 

Hey i tried doing wat u said about the speedo but i have a problem i had a auto tranny and took out the speedo but i notice that the gear teeth were in the wrong direction so u think i need one from a manual tran t2 or na

Hmmm, I dunno about that, not sure what mazda sensors are different. Assuming the cables are the same and spin the same direction you could use any sensor that matches up. I just used the stock TII one so that i knew for a fact my speedo would be accurate, the tooth count is dependent on the final drive gearing.

Nissan ones work too :)

this is so wrong only way you can make it right is give me your old turbo2 engine and trans LOL nice swap man

so sick... i've been into nissans since i have started but now i got and rx7.... i know alot about 240's so if anything went down with my motor i'm doing this swap into my GTU..

He again just asking wat throttle cable u used

Stock FC cable and sensor. Had to oval out the mounting hole on the sensor a bit but other than that it was fine, reached the other side of the tranny with no issues.

ah reminds me of chris's FC. http://www.drifting.com/forums/buy-a...-drift-fc.html

It should a little bit, I ended up with all the SR swap parts from that car.

No not the speedo cable the gas pedal cable for the throttle body

Oh hahaha my bad :) Same answer though, stock FC. I had to loop it back toward the MBC then over to the throttle body. The stocvk cable had some supports on it already so I used those to keep it away from stuff, if you want I can take some pics tomorrow.

I used the stock SR cable bracket on the intake manifold, but I flipped it around and cut it up some, then rebent it to match the angle needed. Worked out pretty well, no issues so far.

Ok kool ill wait for the pics
also my cable is way too short maybe the t2 is longer?

Ya its definitely longer then, mine is like a foot too long. Post some pics of your car dude, hows it coming along?

Great project, keep up the good work. I was thinking of doing a 4g63t swap in my fc.

i may try a FJ20ET swap down the road somewhere

Here are the pics. I relocated my fuse box back behind the strut tower so I used that as a perch for the support and put the other one on the firewall. The bracket and holder on the intake manifold are from the SR, just made them work.

First... Get rid of that Nissan filter and go buy a NAPA Gold one on your next oil change. The OEM Nissan ones use a card board end and Ive seen them blow out.

Anyway, awesome build. I found this topic from searching on google because I am putting one together myself and wanted to see what others have ran into while doing it. Its kind of nice to see its not really done though, will be more rare than all the SR20 swapped 240SXs around here.

I LOVE how you did the throttle cable too. I dont think that looks bad at all and it was a really good way to deal with the longer cable. If you think it looks bad, go look how Nissan puts the cable on the FWD SR20... its horrible, always in the way. One of the things the FWD guys will do is try and hide it under the intake going along the firewall, though I guess that is a little harder with the RWD one because that will put it really close to the exhaust.

car looks good man was gonna do a sr swap in the fd but decided to do a 13b last moment.

My god, I cant escape the e-knowledge in this thread. Have you personally cut open a RWD SR-specific (aka, JDM part number) filter to check for the end cap material? Kthx.
