I bought a 1991 Nissan 240SX Hatch 5 Speed today.
She has 178k Miles.
She is getting rebuilt from the bottom up next week.
She is going to be my toot to college car.
Eventually an engine swap but for now NA unless you have suggestions.
She has had one owner, an elderly lady, who sold me the car.
It sat for 5 years.
Possible slave cylinder out, pedal goes to the floor but doesn't return.
Stock compression is 9.5:1 but if I decide to boost later I could right or should I drop to 9:1. I'll be NA for awhile.

Compression Test:
Cylinder 1 = 120psi
Cylinder 2 = 40 psi
Cylinder 3 = 110 psi
Cylinder 4 = 120 psi

Before I started


How it sits now


I'm worried. All those rubber hoses were dry and when I tried to take them off most of them broke or twisted because I was yanking with pliers and its all sorts of nasty. Are there any hose kits around besides just the radiator? I went to Enjuku and will be ordering their package deal with a ISIS Radiator, new blue radiator hoses, and E-fans. I can't find a hose kit anywhere and all the hoses now are all over the place..

But I did find this, they are just uncut.
HIP PERFORMANCE

Engine and tranny are being pulled tomorrow for a rebuild.

Ordering these parts from Enjuku

ISIS 255 Liter/Hour Fuel Pump

ISIS Cooling Package (Aluminum radiator, hoses, e fans) DO I NEED THE SHROUD?

ISIS Engine and Tranny Mounts

Spec Stage 3 clutch

Suspension Arm Package

Eibach Sportline Springs

KYB GR2 Struts

SS Clutch Line

All for the newly rebuilt engine and tranny.

Am I missing anything? Stock rebuild, NA KA.

Engine was bored out .20

Transmission looks literally brand new. Transmission shop said they've never seen one look so good. Only replacing reverse gear (it's not synchro'd) and doing a synchro and bearing kit. Total cost: $500

I ordered a Chilton manual. The shop took off all the accessories tand made it a long block. They put all the pieces in a box and bagged the screws. Anywhere else to look or a step by step guide to put it all back together?

I got a walbro fuel pump upgrade for free since they were out of ISIS.

I actually got a spec stage 4 clutch upgraded from from the stage 3 for free from FRSports bc they ran out of the stage 3. Its good for 380ft/lbs.


My goals: 250-300whp car that I don't have to worry about. For now I will drive it stock KA and replace everything mechanically.

I need some help guys IDENTIFYING ENGINE BAY HOSES

Im wiring my e-fans like this.

But for the 86 Wire I am using the original clip for the condenser fan (brown wire on this clip)

What does this connect to?

The engine is in, I already connected the bottom hose but Idk what the top connects to.

And this?

EDIT:

so I found there are two pipes to the engine that when I pour coolant in the radiator it leaks out the back. Im assuming these two are the pipes to the heater core.

SO

Two pipes on the fire wall TOP HEATER PIPE & LOWER HEATER PIPE
Two pipes on the engine LEFT PIPE & RIGHT PIPE (facing the engine standing in front of the bumper of the car)
So TOP HEATER PIPE TO RIGHT PIPE & LOWER HEATER PIPE TO LEFT PIPE?

That little pipe goes to the fuel pressure regulator but where at?
