Thread: Operation SR24VVL IN PROGRESS ONCE AGAIN

Cool man I currently have the radiator and fan shroud kit. Now that I know the hoses fit properly I am going to pick up a set.

to start with, the V-band clamp kicked my ass:o. i had to loosen the cat connections to make it happen. after i was sure the exhaust system was not coming apart again, the wide-band sensor could go in.

then the regular o2 sensor.

then it was the aft mm bolt that gave me shit. after at least 30min. of screwing around i took a 10 min break. came back to it and WALLA.
so the exhaust system and cross member are DONE. now there is the regular, limited access to the motor from below. not to worry. remember, the excessive mani is gonna be a flange and a set of runners (with no plenum in the way) i can install from the top side......then the plenum will go on last. sort of a modular I/M.
i talked to Rich@xcessive this morning. he received his shipment of sand and will be starting on my I/M very soon. i'm gonna have him make me a flange(s) for q45 and n1 t/b's. for testing purposes
didn't leave the house for cotter pins so here she sits.

car and stillen kit still waiting for a trip to the body shop. so close to being finished, it has earned the plate

10 months ago (1/19/10), when this project started, i never thought it would only be this far along.
oh, and happy b-day to ME. 10/20/....

Happy Birthday! I wish you many more with that lovely 200SX you have there.

Nice, coming along. Happy B-day... 10/20/1922. haha.




Chris.

thanks guys..and you to Chris
i'm getting stoked..er drunk.
i just listened (for the 1st time) to a set of kelford 184c's v2 idling. holy S5'd de batman (de je vu). there's the lopey idle i love so much, in a ve no less. really gives the motor character. these big bad bro's are coming my way, like tomorrow!!
(and they work good to:rofl

Happy bd glad to see everything is starting to come together. Can't wait to see end results....

the bitch is on its own 4 wheels

one of the vvl solenoid connectors is missing the metal spring lock thingy and so is the knock sensor. without these things the connectors aren't secure but its not a show stopper by any means. think i'll hit up a local PnP tomorrow with a set of dikes in my pocket
should be turn-key very soon

Nice man ! Break her in 1000 miles and dyno !

Stratton.

just use paperclips and make your own connector locks
