Happy boosting, and post up the dyno when you get it done!

fatigues, definately, the boots look like skate shoes though.

love how your keeping the SOHC and not hacking off your bumper, two things i plan to do

also, why do people think hacking off the bumper supports a good idea in the first place?

steel bumper or aluminum front-mount; which would you rather have protecing you and your engine in a head on?

props bro! nice build. if i had been a member before purchasing the sr20det... i would have just rebuilt my blown sohc. i bet it would have been cheaper too... ive spent about $5k putting the sr20det together. and its still a stock sr. with some loose ends to be tightend up. how much did it cost you to rebuilt the sohc w/ boost added to it? i'm thinking i would have gotten a rebuilt boosted ka-t for about 5k or a lil over. with aftermarket internals. you think so?

^you can if you work it right.

Time for the disappointment. The turbo parts were recently sold as was the chassis. Needed to eliminate some unnecessary debt that had previously been put off.

I kept the suspension for my race car though. (KA-DE NA)

This one is a hatchback, not quite as exotic but will be fun to drive.

Will never see street rubber...well unless it's RT615's.=)

if you dont mind me asking, what was the budget you put out on this sohc buildup and resoration of the 240sx?

veilside180sx · 12-13-2005, 05:49 AM

I was about $10,000-$12,000 into it. Can't remember off the top of my head.

It's the man hours that kills you, more hours than I can count went into cleaning the underside of that chassis.

Amen to that.

You probably lost like 10 pounds or more of grim from underneath your car haha
