[AllanOrr]

Few more bit have been added to my wee list for when the car will be going off the road to be totaly stripped down for next year woo

 

[AllanOrr]

Been quiet for a while though still collecting my long list of bits

[AllanOrr]

So far as yous can see the turbo side of things is out of there tomorrow taking the inlet mani off etc and then taking out the engine tail end of this week let the fun begin :rotfl:

 

[djmasterg]

Alan, let me know if you're going to take out lsd by 20 of September. Have fun guys

 

[AllanOrr]

[LuPix_S15]

Nice update mate


It's always nice to see the piddly WMIC out of the car haha

 

[AllanOrr]

lol me and my mate had a pain in the arse of a time trying to get the pipe work off from the hot pipe, just gathering more parts the now while we rip the engine out
see the guy you sold your blitz dumpvale and hot pipe to James on sxoc (xpcobra) that my mate in the pic

 

[LuPix_S15]

see the guy you sold your blitz dumpvale and hot pipe to James on sxoc (xpcobra) that my mate in the pic

lol no waaay??!! I was just about to post on this thread that I sold my Blitz SS dump valve to someone from Paisley but I couldn't remember the name of the estate he had on his address haha :wack: What a co-incidence!!

He should have it today delivered by 24 hour courier


So what are your plans with the engine and stuff?

 

[AllanOrr]

lol I know small world dude :wack:

Engine will be getting either the HKS 2.2 Stroke with full HKS head work Cams Valves etc, Topmount turbo set up aswell but just looking into if the costs are worth the 2.2 or if just forged internals will hold enough punishment, but will be a total drift slag for next year fingers crossed will have it done for JAE 2011 :rotfl:

 

[sx-si]

if i was looking at doing it again i would seriously be looking into a ls1 or ls2 v8 tbh

 

[AllanOrr]

See I dont want to take away the fact its still a Nissan know what I mean, If money no object there would be a RB26DETT N1 getting put in there....buuuut I need to start the lottory for that to happen, so sx-si forged or stroke? :wack:

 

[sx-si]

stroked if i could afford it

 

[AllanOrr]

I think am going to go down that road tbh was having a think if am going to spend 1000s of £ on a rebuild I might aswell do it to a good decent spec at the end of the day

 

[LuPix_S15]

Nice1 dude - yeah I was going for stoker but maybe just refresh of the engine with some uprated parts and then the topmount turbo kit from Mazworx with GT3071 (IIRC??) should be nice for 400 bhp plus.


Also need to sort out RB box conversion first tho!! :wack:

 

[DeanS15]

ls2 is my dream engine for this car, cam change, headers and a remap.....500 horsies with BIG torque from low revs, but, the sr is a great engine. the best thing about ls2's is they'd be mated to a gearbox designed to take the power and the engine would only be very mildly tuned for big power so reliability would be good, clutch would feel nice, no nasty noises, no revving the nuts off it.......

 

[craig8585]

How much do they weigh though? I know they are alloy blocks, but so is the SR but half the size!

 

[AllanOrr]

After a think today I am serious for going for a HKS full head set up and 2.2 Stroker kit aswell so thats now the plans for the end of 2010 and 2011 :rotfl: bye bye pennys :wack:
there was a big talk on the ls2's being put in instead of doing a stroker on the sr20 and the guys from driftworks just slated it saying its a waste of time etc, guess its down to prefrance at the end of the day :thumbs:

 

[craig8585]

The most annoying thing about our cars is the weak gearbox. That is the only thing stopping me going for a bigger turbo as I don't want to downgrade to a bodged 5-speed.
