The car was automatic, and unfortunately i did not post pics of the conversion process, here is one of the important parts, either replacing or cutting the brake pedal.. I cut it, it is a hard mother to cut too, damn.

Conclusion:

Overall the swap and everything in pics (minus the time waiting for the motor to arrive) took 2 days.

Polyurethane injected motor mounts/tranny mount is so effective, the shifter doesn't shake at all when I drive. It really took like a week to dry though, and i had to throw em in the oven for a few hours to help speed up the process.

The car unfortunately came with an SR20de flywheel + PP and a honda clutch disc, so the clutch now slips even on stock boost, Im putting an exedy stage 2 on this coming weekend and a DET flywheel (20mm larger). Stupid corner cutting japs! Other than that the car pulls hard.

I used my HKS GT2535/40 turbo (0.86AR) on this thing as you can see. Im looking to make moderate hp in the low 300's DD.

The car was $150.
The APEXI GT SPEC 3.76" exhaust was $100.
The motor was $1700.

And that is SSAUTOCHROME sr20 ebay fmic kit, $200 shipped FTW!!

Problems to deal with now:
Tiny pinhole crack in oil pan
Driverside key cylinder is damaged
Driverside seatbelt doesnt move out of the way when door is opened.
Body dmg and it needs suspension/wheels/tires.

The seatbelt problem could also be a jammed limit switch. Check the front of the channel that the seatbelt slides in, on the a-pillar. At the end of the line up front, there should be a little plastic switch that gets pushed in when the slider moves in there. The plastic part is probably just stuck. Man, this is hard to explain without pictures.. Can anyone else help me out here?

Stupid corner cutting japs!

And that is SSAUTOCHROME sr20 ebay fmic kit, $200 shipped FTW!!

Comments/Critcisim/Suggestions welcome!


1.) That comment earns you two weeks off to think about why that sort of thing isn't allowed here.

b.) You're one to talk about corner cutting

III.) You suck at masking things before painting.
Seriously, 20 minutes of masking would've made that shit look 1000% better.

Why do you go through so many cars and SRs? Is it a 'business' or something for you? I also don't get how you apparently swap SRs all the time but still need alot of tech support. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Anyhow, you can answer when you get back.
Love peace and bacon grease,
Kevin
