Update 180sx Proyect : NEW ENGINE!
After a lot of research, in the end I could not close the rb26 deal well, a rb25 did not interest me much, so I decided to look for some sr20, and found some that were modified and were half the price that a rb26 converted to Rear-wheel drive, So, while I was searching I found this ...
A sr20det blacktop with some modifications like ...
Tomei exhaust manifold
Yellow injector (?
T28 Turbo
In addition to bringing the gearbox, ecu, wiring, air conditioning system (that will not use it), and other things
Although it does not have an intercooler or radiator, that will be placed later
When I saw it I was interested, I talked to the owner, we met, and I bought it, the engine was in good condition, I got to work installing the engine, and here is what you see in the photos, I have to get a radiator and an intercooler with its pipes.
It was quite easy to install it because the 180sx since it was manufactured was designed to be installed a sr20det / de, Although mine was adapted for a rb25, but the only thing that the owner did was to make a hole in the floor so that the gearbox is well placed, and that hole is covered by the dashboard, then he made some adapters to place the engine, luckily, after removing the engine, the previous owner removed the adapters, leaving the frames intact, helped me a lot with that.
I have to get intercooler and radiator for now, then I'll take it to the dyno and then to tsukuba or ebisu
Spoiler:
Money spent :
Engine : - V$ 3000
V$ 10370 - V$ 3000 = V$ 7370
Update 180sx: Intercooler, Radiator and some parts of the body
Taking advantage that the engine lacked very few things, I went and bought what was missing (which was the intercooler and the radiator), Then I went to a scrapyard and bought two pop up and a front bumper chuki, Although without grids or fogs, but does not matter
I installed them (Pop up left them fixed and crooked on purpose, do not judge me hahaha)
And there would be a few small things that I will look for, which would be some measurement clocks (boost controler, among other things)
It's almost over, Now when I finish it I'll go to Tsukuba to taste it
Spoiler:
Parts :
Pop ups : V$ 100
Front bumper V$ 250
Radiator : V$ 300
Intercooler : V$ 330
V$ 7370 - V$ 980 = V$ 6390
180sx update: Gauges, boost controller and customized gear lever installed!
Nothing very interesting or out of the ordinary, the ls watches needed to keep the engine under control, and the lever needed it because otherwise I can not pass the changes, obviously
Spoiler:
Parts :
Boost controller : V$ 200
Gauges : V$ 100
Shifter : V$ 90
V$ 6390 - V$ 390 = V$ 6000
