    dang this thing is sick, looks like we both went for a change of power plants to Nissan, you did the whole car and me well just the engine haha, but the first of your recent photos shows just how small the 240 is compared to the cb, sure yours is slammed but even at stock height its several inches shorter

        thanks. i switched because ive always wanted an S13. Since the NFS underground days lol. But yeah, my CB was 2" lower than the S13 is and next to a mildly dropped 240, it looked like a giant.... It really pissed me off for a minute lol.

            Thank god for free tires....

            slapped the tires on and could hear them rubbing so i took it around the block for kicks and to see if it would clear up a little....


            NOPE. Wheel wells were pouring smoke burnout style at 50mph lol... awesome.

            pulled in and saw all the melted rubber everywhere and saw a photo op....


            and onto the other good stuff.

                yeah, Ka-t was my original plan, but the thought of having to tune everytime i change anything wasn't ideal. SR20 doesn't need a tune until you swap to a turbo bigger than a T28.

                If i did, im be going T3 top mount. most likely a GT3571r. but now were getting ahead of ourselves...lol

                T25 is good to about 14lbs. That should be good to around 250 wheel.... more than enough for right now.

                  Nice vert! i like it alot, own a s13 coupe myself except mines stock besides exhaust. Not sure what to do next since i own 2 of the money draining cars alive, a cb and a s13. but keep going hard with that vert.

                    thanks.... i know how is goes with $$$$. thats why im taking this jump in the engine trade. a little bit of $$ into it and it'll shoot the re-sale value of my car up a ton. on proper suspension an SR s13 goes for around 4-6k all day.

                    and i have $1200 into it right now. $1600ish after the SR rebuild including the car....

                      another update. dealer was giving me shit about shipping for the pistons....


                      so i found an entire short block (spun bearing) for $80..... so im using that block and pistons/rods with my other crank and viola. shooting for bottom end assembly tomorrow and possible installation friday. ill keep this up to date.

                        car is looking great!
                        hey, got a question for you.
                        did you have to trim your stock wheel studs when you put those 25mm spacers on?
                        or did they just bolt on with no modification?

                          thanks.

                          they bolted on just fine. i did have to use smaller lug nuts for it though.


                          quick update....

                          i broke an ARP head stud off INSIDE the SR block i just picked up.

                          hopefully even with this it'll be together shortly.

                            update......


                            FUCKING SR20 IS BEAST!......

                            got it running tonight and test drove it. O2 is not connected because the wrong one is in there atm but its good because it'll run a bit rich for break in.

                            ill post a parts list, price list, pics and such tomorrow when i wrap everything up....
