sr20DET V-mount setup

z32 fuel pump custom mounted in tank

simply beautiful! that v-mount is a great use of space. i wanted that set up on my fd before i crashed it.

*btw what are the dimensions of the intercooler and the radiator that you are using? pm me aiite, thanks.

This is so awesome Mikey, and the colour looks sexy as. I'll reply you via email after I've had a proper look at all the pics

Fine looking project, however and I am sure you have it all worked out, make sure that the head is not higher than the filler point of the radiator, or you end up with air bubbles in your head. Another thing to remember with the SR and a system like that where the return to the radiator will not flow down into the motor, you really need to backfill the system with coolant first, or its not a pretty result.

Awesome car though.

Hi Mikey, that a VERY hot project that you have there

About the head being higher then the radiator - sometimes it cant be helped, a way around it to have a "header tank" mounted elsewhere in the engine bay and plumbed up to the radiator and various other places so that way its all apples in term of cooling.

Cuong

All i can say is...fresh! How about the front grille panel and lights? Easy bolt up or have you worked around it?

i do have the header tank...just not installed as of yet...i will surely add the coolant first,,thanks

as for the grill, lights, bumpers, etc...will be and easy fix...all need to do is make tabs and weld them to the new core support. will do all when i get the parts from lachlan.

heres a few more pics with the intercooler pipes and blow off valve

couple more angles

Mikey,

The Ken and Mary is coming along great. So is the whole thing painted or just the engine bay? Need more pics, have you updated cardomain?

On my end, my Ross pistons finally came in, Wats have been on for a while check out the thread if you missed it. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18850

All other parts are purchased just waiting for the motor to finish so I can start assembly.

I was just out in your neck of the woods last week for 4 days in Huntington Beach. I met a guy who has a sweet 240Z w/ RB25DET that I am thinking about to compliment my L6 Turbo.

I am still trying to track down 2 15x8 XR-4 no luck so far....

Later,
