Thread: 2002 G20 resurrection

Having snapped a rod in an SR20, I can confirm that they can in fact run like that.

Well all 4 pistons in the old engine rotated as I turned the engine over. So its definitely not a snapped rod. Either way, new engine is in and running great. I'll post up the photos and videos soon.

Got the new engine deliver a couple weeks ago.



Unwrapped.

Old sad engine saying hi to the new(ish) engine.




Prepped for surgery.




Prepping for cleaning and the intake/exhaust manifold, and power steering pump transplant.






Time for removal.




Engine and transmission removed and separated. The old transmission needed a good pressure wash.

Engine and intake manifold cleaned and mated.




New engine installed and buttoned up. and of course, the Infiniti valve cover will be swapped over soon.

FIN... well. for now. Next up, interior cosmetics, followed by exterior, suspension, upgraded brakes and maybe a simple OE DET turbo addition.

It's looking good! Such a steal, ha ha.

sounds like a come up to me!

Update: 700 miles on the new SR and she's purring like a kitten still.

Nice looking G!
