It's Down, Polished and Everything Nice


Has been a long time since my last post because I have been pretty busy with work and my car as well. So far the modifications has just started. My 1994 SR20DET Blacktop is being rebuilt at the moment with some goodies going in of course. Well this in kinds a big project for me as everything from the head till the tail is almost all changed to make this car a reliable and a mean piece of machinery.


Engine's out!!!


Engine Head That's Fresh From Skimming and Polishing

Stock Pistons

If you look carefully at the top of the piston on the right, it is actually damaged caused by detonation in the engine therefore you can see some of its metal has chipped off and it left a black burn mark.

Crankshaft

Polished Valves

Valve Springs and etc

On Monday, I received a call from me friend Jerome(S15 owner) at midnight saying that he found a Nismo Super Coppermix Single Clutch that he thought it was for the S15 6 Speed and but after consultation by his mechanic, it is actually for the S13 and S14 5 Speed. So he offered to me whether if I would wanna buy it for a very very good price. After close inspection by my mechanic, he said that the Coppermix Disc is still quite thick and for the price, it is very worth it as it is indeed a rare item. So without hesitating, I bought it. Enjoy this rare piece of Beauty in RED!




After much thoughts, I decided that might as well change the worn pistons into forged ones since the engine is disassembled. So i got this!

Wiseco Forged Coated Pistons

It is 87mm bore which literally strokes the engine up a little bit from 1998cc to 2045cc. So basically my engine's gonna be a SR20.5DET when its done hahaha

Till the next update. Have a nice weekend ahead guys!
