Hi, I'm new. I currently drive a B14 SE-R. I have in my possession an SR20DET from a JDM Bluebird. I have it on a stand right now awaiting to be installed into my car. Before I install it, I would like to freshen it up. By freshening it up, I wanted to install new seals on the outside of the motor and anything else which I may need to replace. I made a quick list of things that I was thinking of purchasing to freshen up my motor.

-Front/Rear Main seals
-Valve Cover gasket w/ spark plug gaskets
-Oil filter(should I order one for B13 SE-R's or will B14 SE-R oil filter work?)
-Water pump(would I be safe in swapping the water pump from my current SR20DE (70,000 miles) or should I replace it while the motor is out?)
-Spark plugs(copper is what I think is reccomended for DET's, but what heat range? 7's?)
-pilot bushing(i believe my motor was mated to an automajic)
-exhaust manifold gasket(mr. copper)
-gaskets for turbo(?)


Tranny stuff
-left/right tranny seals
-throwout bearing

I also read that I should probably check the rod bearings. Although, I did remove the valve cover, which revealed a very clean top end. Would this be enough to lead me to belive that synthetic oil was used and that I don't have to check rod bearings? Or should I check them anyways to remove all doubt.

I would like to know if the list of things I have listed is ok. Are some things overkill? Did I leave anything out? Advice from those who have swapped a JDM SR20DET is more than welcome, as well as those who haven't, but possess the knowledge.

Thank you.

a walbro fuel pump! I have one brand new for $100bucks. This is the same pump we used in a 333hp car. It will handle way more power!!:D

se-riously boosted;

Check your PM box! I PM'd you about that fuel pump a few days ago.
