got the engine in the car finally


i had to cut the transmission tunnel a bit for the new shifter but it clears the center console just fine


here it is with the shifter in place and my nismo shifter **** showing off the 6 speed sticker lol


removed the valve cover to paint it and put new seals on it and found my head to be quite clean for an engine built in 1992

i do change the oil mobile 1 every 3k miles

all it took was a little degreaser and a hose, no scrubbing at all to get my valve cover looking like this.


Metallic Redfire Pearl


all cured with clear coat on


got the drive shaft and the exhaust back on.


since the slave cylinder on the z33 tranny is on the exhaust side of the SR20 engine i routed the clutch line under the frame rain to where the factory steel brake line goes to avoid exhaust heat i also ended up wrapping my downpipe with heat wrap


and just to make sure i wont be melting any rubber boots from running the 2 step i made a little heatshield from a piece of factory KA24 exhaust heat shielding.


i always wondered why my SR always took a while to get warm, so i went to change my thermostat with a new one just because the engine was out and its cheap i found the car never had a thermostat just a skeleton of one lol!
Top is new bottom is the old skeleton that was in my car lol.


new belts from Gates my old belts were all dry rotted


found a perfect place on my strut tower for my Sard FPR, no modding needed the holes were threaded and perfectly spaced for the SARD bracket lol


was testing the hot pipe to see if there was enough clearance with the intake and there is


and finally these sensors have been lost with USPS for 31 days now and they just showered up today! now i have everything electronically to finish this!


more to come, i need to buy some silicone couplers and tbolt clamps before i can tune but that should be soon enough
