My first rwd car-92 s13 sohc- and i have to build it!

[bruceguy]

YO, this is bruceguy from socal, !!!!

ive been riding motorcycle for over 4 years, ive lived the life style and done some crazy shit... ahhhhh..hollywood bike night...
then some of my friends crashed and i realized that it was not worth it.
now im 20 yrs old, havent had a (car) for about 3 years, and want to try driving for a change.

well this is how it is,

i picked up this 240 from lancaster for 100 bucks!!

i got a rolling shell with a roll cage, 5 speed tranny, 2 sohc engines and not too much more.

i reccently joined the zilvia forums because people told me it would help me out, and it has.

soooo.... now the car is almost together, i used my basic knowledge to do as much work as i can, now im about to start installing the wiring harness, ecu, radiator, and do nice things for the motor(oil chnge, sprk plgs, oil filter...)

i worked on motorcycles before, but most of this is new to me,
so i need all the help i can get!

is everything plug n play?

can i fu*k up something by pluging it in the wrong place?

should be aware of something?

thanks everybody!!!!

hey, im only building my own car!!:bite::bite::bite:

There's an intro thread somewhere. You'll probably be asked to post there.

That said, you might run into smog problems becaues you've got a '92 chassis and a sohc ('89-'90) engine. Your engine must be from the same year or later. While I think that this, compared to other smog issues that 240 owners face, is a minor issue, you might run into someone who checks everything and fail smog.

I was actually interested in this so I looked it up. Check out page 71 on this file.

I think the smog tech will know that the engine is wrong, there not all dumb. You should get a DOHC and put that in the car. Also, the tach reads the signal from a DOHC, the tach won't work correctly with a SOHC in it.
