big empty space


now all me and my friend have to do is tear it down, see what all is wrong with it and order the new parts ill need. mite take a few days to figure out wut i need to order. ill keep this updated with tear down pics, especially wen i find wuts broken.

You're building the engine up or swapping it?

[mcdizzle]

as of right now. im simply putting stuff similar to stock in, wen i have the money to build it up and boost it, which will hopefully be this coming summer, i will boost it. i dont have the money for a swap, and ive always loved the sound of BOV.

but as of right now, im kinda tossin the idea in my head, yea turboing the car would be great. but i like it as a daily driver as well. and i really want a 240sx, which i may be coming into soon, as my aunt has a 95 240 which she doesnt really drive anymore it basically sits in there garage and collects dust. so i may buy the 240 from them and swap in a sr20det. it would be really sweet to have a fwd car with the suspension set-up i have now for back road driving, then the 240 for autocrossing.

Damn, you are just like me in this respect.

if yoru already rebuilding it, you might as well put 2 - 300 bucks more for stronger parts so u can turbo.

[Tone-us]

change your motor mounts while it's out! especially the rear one.

[mcdizzle]

wut would be good to upgrade for turbo, pistons and rings? anything else?

and wut about the mounts should i change before i put it back in? uwts wrong with the mounts?

[thompson324]

change them to polyurethane mounts

[ACC0RD22]

the mounts are prolly worn so it would be better to change them so they dont flex as much under hard acceleration. pistons and rods would be good . . . rings would be changed obviously . . . thats really it . . . should be good for 15 psi maybe more with good tuning. thats with fuel and ignition system upgrades of course

[501accord]

definitly powerwash the engine bay while its out yo!

[mcdizzle]

yea, im definiely gonna wash out the engine bay.

ok a list of stuff i need/should get:

rods
pistons
bearings, both main and rod
gaskets and seals
upgrade the mounts


is there anything else i should get upgrade? about how much am i lookin at right now? also, we're not sure if the crank is reusebale yet, so about how much do those usually run?

[i97supratti]
