Well that was the last show over and done with. By this time clutch had started to slip. So after only a few months car was coming off road again. In the garage once again, a 200s natural habitat haha * Matthew jeffries from limitless imports ps13 lurking in the corner. Been it's home for last few years. * * Now at this point I was not set on what to do. I don't like SR20s, never have and never will. That goes for all 4 pots. So that engine was coming out and never going back in. * Now I had two options. Do I go back to the v8 idea, this was going to be costly, I still had a engine and r154 box but would need manifold, turbo, management injectors and all that to get the power I wanted. It was going to cost alot and thought it would take a while to do. So I decided against that idea for now. Well option two original was a cheap one. I had a 400bhp 33 sitting in corner in need of TLC.* This was going to take a few years to do all the work so I could borrow the engine.
So it was a plan. I'm borrowing the RB from 33. After all has only dome 89000 kilometres. It was a good plan. Cheap engine swap as I have everything I need apart from one or two bits. Well that wasn't the case atall.* First up was pull engine out of 200. * {} * {} * {} Next up pull engine out 33. * {} * {} Was difficult on your own as engine so long and heavy. Now while it out i obviously wanted to paint it. Change belt and few other odds. Needed to check clutch also as was told it a nismo one but had no proof. Well it was and in good nic so was happy. * {}
Car looks great pal. Your work is incredible!!! What's Matt doing with his ps13? Iv posted in his build thread but had no reply. Has he lost interest?
Thanks fella. It going good, he taken it home now, it been for mapping and is almost ready for mot. He may not of been on but no doubt he will one day
First problem I knew I'd have was the fact the bonnet probably won't close on engine with OEM inlet. I wanted a forward facing plenum. Sothing that looked cool. Anyway after lots of thinking I got this. {} {} From Australia and made out of billet aluminium, really nice. So after engine was painted I could see what it was like on. And there welds on my intake that could blow if I run to much nos {} {} {} Yea good a bit meh! Wasent shade I was after but **** it.
