I'm in Houston... South Side, near NASA, where all the car geeks are... I've only had my B13 for 3 weeks, already got a DET longblock, suspension, and other parts selected, just have to sell all my Honda shells and B20VTEC stuff, or finish the build and then sell it. I've done SR work before for my buddies drift cars and some full rebuilds, but itching to finally get my DET done. I'm going to try and revive the SR good times in the area. A while back the SR scene in Houston was top notch, but ppl have forgotten about them. So I'm currently building a group of frineds with different setups, All engine work done at my lab.
(B13 SR20DET Bluebird) B13Kev on the forum was my first FWD DET swap, had to do some internal seal replacement on the engine before I put it in.
(P10 02 RR SR20DE) John P10 RR swap done sucessfully fully using original OBD1 ECU, and keeping it stock to push the roller rocker limits when he goes boost.
(P10 GTI-R AWD conversion) Dean: Installed a new crank and kept the engine running for him...[ just so he can save for a GTI-R.] Already sourced a complete front clip, rear subframe, driveshaft shop, and in planning stages for time. Planning on getting a donor shell to cut apart and test fit the subframe before we cut up a hard to find super light P10 chassis...oh and its rocking Brembos and suspension stuff
(S14 (S14 SR20DET) swap) James: Done, completed, stock as can be, awaiting for employment to roll around... Engine bay was completely stitch welded and painted Java Black off an STi
(S14 (S13 SR20DET)) Justin: Rebuilt his original S13 SR20DET that he transplanted from his S13 into his S14 chassis, poor thing over heated and he really liked the engine, he does competition in it, very clean red S14 with lots of decals on it. after only 2 weeks of run time on the engine he was hard at the track bouncing off rev limiter on a GT2871R... too much power so now he is back to stock and just perfecting his technique... will add power later though.
(S13 (S13 SR20DET)) Ton: Going to have a headache with this car... rats nest wiring, sub par engine rebuild... looking at total tear down and redo of the engine and full stand alone Haltech
(B13 SR20DET) MINE: Full rebuild by me, Mazworx 1/2 inch headstuds, Cosworth HG, Weisco Pistons, Crower Rods, , Top Mount CT GT350, side exit downpipe, 2001 G20 LSD transmission(already sitting in a junkyard on hold near me
)
(P10 SR20VE full NA with nitrous setup)... [Possibly going to be done by me if I can sell some of my other cars]... I have my own work space just running low on time now adays.
If Anyone in the Houston area needs some small parts or a complete bottom end, LMK, or needs a repair on the engine done, I'm the guy to go to.
