Thanks for all the props everyone!... And yea, the guy I got my motor from supplies pretty damn clean motors... My friend has an SR20DET from him in his 240sx and just put down 260hp and 250 some lb ft. to the wheels on a pretty much stock motor with boost controller.Quote:

So, as I said I have been getting suckered into helping friends working on their cars lately instead of working on mine... Here is some of what I have been up to;
Helped do some work on my friend's Del Sol which she bought just before winter. A little ricey, but it has a B16 and it's her car and she likes it, so that's pretty awesome.

Then a couple weeks back we put a Stoptech Big brake kit on my friends M3. He had the calipers custom painted before fitting them, as he likes to keep things original. Was a pretty straight forward install, 15" rotors and 6 piston fronts... 4 piston rears. They help with 428whp on tap ;)

Time for new ball joints, and new wheel studs... This is what happened to 2 studs on left front, and one on right front last summer.... uggh.

Now, I got myself a tool chest finally, hopefully help me stop losing tools all the time. And this weekend hooked up an old stereo I had kicking around in the garage for some tunes.

Pulled these out of my basement for install:

Engine is getting close to being ready to go. New waterpump and tbelt need to go on, CTR header with 2.5" collector is on, new oil pan gasket, and OBD1 injectors and alternator going on as well in place of OBD2 pieces.

Well there we have it... I should have engine ready to go this weekend for sure... now I just need an engine hoist as my friend who leant me his took it back the other week. That kind of sucks but what can you do. Then it is all downhill, hopefully.... Now I just need more funds too. :thumbup:
Good progress man! update FTW
looking good...hope you have it rolling soon. keep the updates coming
lol i know what you mean. for me it's quite often a case of drop everything to help someone else. this last update is win though. progress ftwQuote:

Thanks everyone... And I hope I have it rolling soon too. Don't have a super long summer here, and I want to get some use out of the car. I think I possibly found an engine hoist to use, so I will find out about that tomorrow, and then things will be back on track!Quote:

I want aluminium radiator installation in my car too.:thumbup:
great work and congrats on all the new goodies man. are you building the b20 or going ls/vtec? or leaving it a stock b20?
Thanks. I am hoping to go B20Vtec over next winter with a b16 or b18 type R head. I would like to get some debt like old student loans and such paid down first, so that may take a little while, but the master plan is to build a fairly mild b20vtec setup down the road, something I would like to do myself in my own garage again too. The thought of boost has crossed my mind too, as at our elevation here, NA is tough to make good power with, but that will be a ways down the road if it happens, I would idealy like to get a new winter car before that happens, I want AWD.Quote:

u get an engine hoist yet?
Wow, this looks amazing. I hope I can do stuff like this one day. Awesome work!!
Thanks for the compliments guys. Unfortunately no engine hoist... although I did finally find a friend who has one which I can borrow whenever I can steal a truck from someone I know.
Honestly not having a job and having bills to pay and another car to keep on the road has slowed things down, as has just enjoying the shit out of summer!! I wish I could be doing it with my 3g but I don't want to rush things, I am trying to do everything right the first time so I dont have to redo shit down the road.
I know the feeling man,you do what you gotta do not what you want to do.Looking good man.
Thanks import racer.... For the record, love your sig! Viper was an awesome show, and filmed here in Calgary too!
