Thread: NX2000 Awd Conversion

3-12-09

Here are some of the new parts I ordered.

Dual 11" fans


Cometic Head Gasket


Oem water pump


Koyo Radiator paid $301 shipped. It has the smaller inlets but a local radiator shop gave me some adapters so my radiator hoses would fit.


Autobahn Silicone Radiator Hoses


I also ordered a Spec stage 2+ clutch which should be here next week as well as some arp head studs.

Installed the water pump today


Moved my power steering lines so they wouldn't interfere with the rear engine mount.


Also took the transmission off so I can bring the flywheel to get resurfaced tomorrow.


Stock clutch

Here is the condition the clutch and flywheel was in.




Pressure plate


My air compressor wasn't able to get the flywheel bolts loose so I had to chain the flywheel up to keep it from turning. Then I was able to crank on it with a breaker bar.


I'm sure the previous owner had some fun seeing that there is a lot of heat marks in the flywheel.


ARP head studs arrived today

going to put back another stock disc in there? might be worth it since if it really can't hold too much power you won't kill the trans. The clutch would just slip.

I ordered up a Spec stage 2+ already which arrives next week sometime.

Hey looking good, I'm kind of curious on the weight of the oem flywheel and clutch is. Any chance u can throw them onto a scale?

the reall work will begine with you start to put the awd stuff in !!. so whats going on with that hood?? lol

Real? Have you seen all the work he has done in this thread? He been doing real work lol.

um like i said before the rear stuff is the REALL work. This is nuthing to him

lol, the rear will take some more brain power but it should go faster since with the front I had to remove and reinstall the engine everytime I did something. Jen36 i'm starting on the hood after I get the awd finished so sometime in april.

I'll weigh up the stock ones for you as well as my new spec clutch once it arrives.
