My S15 Spec R

[AllanOrr]

Little Up Date

1st of my mates S14a that we are rebuilding aswell :wack:

Now My S15 :wack:

Safe to say taking out the Diff, Prop and Driftshafts and Gearbox with the car just jacked up at the front was entertaining for a Sat night :wack:
Few more parts will be ordered next week and a good few bits already added to the growing list

 

[Fruitbooter]

Haha forget doing all that with it just jacked up at the front!

Bet that was a tight squeeze!

 

[AllanOrr]

Dude I had to jump on the back of the engine while my mate bare huged the gearbox out! I got a diff in the nuts aswell when it came off the driveshafts lol

well earned drink on sat night

 

[AllanOrr]

Another update

Japspeeds own Shane Lynch's bonnet from his V8 S15

Big thanks to Japspeed for sorting us out with this and one of their FMIC Kits

 

[pegliobaglio]

Nice update mate, and that bonnet is all kinds of cool!!!!

 

[AllanOrr]

just fitted it aswell going to look ace cause one of the carbon pannels has been taken out when Japspeed put in the V8 with the Sr20 you will be able to see all the centre of the engine, inlet and turbo set up woohoo

 

[pegliobaglio]

Any excuse to show off lol

 

[AllanOrr]

Well another big order confirmed tonight can you guess?

Once again big thanks to Cougar Power Motorsport for this :thumbs:

 

[pegliobaglio]

One word..............
Jealous!!!!!!!!!

Dude ,I been looking into this myself there are some really good prices on their kits atm,how much did it set you back???

 

[AllanOrr]

a gentleman never tells dude

though you are right so far cheapest retail price I have seen is from Nengun at £2800ish delivered to your door though sometimes it isnt all just about how cheap you get something lol

 

[pegliobaglio]

Ha ha ha fair enough mate! Which spec kit is it you have gone for.

 

[AllanOrr]

HKS only do one type of Stroker kit for the SR20DET dude here is the part number etc

21004-AN001
Nissan SR20DET 2.2L Kit, Capacity 2164, Piston Size 87mm - 22mm

most of all the details you would need is here from nengun aswell
http://www.nengun.com/hks/stroker-kit-nissan-sr20det-22l

Though I am also going for the cylinder liners just to be on the safe side considering it will be a HKS Step 3 Headsystem aswell in there

 

[pegliobaglio]

Thought there was more than one kit as I have seen prices vary from 1400 up to like 4000 ? Thought with that wide variation would have been diiferent kits maybe just a. Search error, cheers mate will check it out,seem beTter priced than other kits,Your going for a full hks set up then,gonna be pretty awesome!

2.4L stroker: http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/customer_part_detail.asp?PartID=380

 

[AllanOrr]

"note this part is no longer available" :wack:


to be honest I personaly think a 2.4 stroker will be a bit OTT for what I am looking to gain and with a pritty much fully forged HKS engine I would be pritty happy in pants

Pegliobaglio - nah dude I am sure HKS only do the 2.2 for the SR20DET as thats what they run in their own S15 and the Top Secret S15 aswell

 

[pegliobaglio]

Sweet,yeah I looked into it a bit further and all are the same model number,just don't see how the prices vary so much,found a place doing the kit for 1200 dollars shipped yesterday? Then the next place was 4400 dollars???? Best to get it from a reputible supplier and spend a little extra.
Your bedroom is gonna be sky high with boxes!!! Loll

 

[AllanOrr]

I personaly wouldnt go for it if they are saying 1200 dollars thats to cheap if you ask me, they go up and down so much I think depending where the company is baced like a UK company will charge more 20% vat and tax on top of the RRP where as the likes of Nengun is not 20% vat because they are japan only thing you need to worry about is import tax though is you buy it from a company in the EU you dont have to worry about that

Tell me about it dude I am going to need to sleep on the couch soon :wack:

 

[DeanS15]

has no one ever fed back on the apex stroker kit ??? thats good value if it does the business.....

 

[AllanOrr]

I looked at them dude, personaly I was considering it but after reading up on most of their rads have been bursting and the FMIC's taking months after months I would much rather know whats in my car has been tested 110% and is used in alot of other top S15's such as a Top Secret S15 to name one of many
Value is there on it but its the small things that put me off such as why sell a stroker kit with a crank that isnt balanced? For all the cost in it its small things that just would make me spend that bit more for peace of mind


....and being a total brand slut

 

[adz87kc]

why sell a stroker kit with a crank that isnt balanced?

Pretty sure a crank needs to be balanced with the flywheel and clutch assembly all connected in order to be balanced correctly. And seeing each clutch, crank and flywheel combination will be different it makes sense to sell them unbalanced.
