: Doing a DET swap soon...what else do I need??

Things are set in motion...the DET + many other goodies will be shipped on Monday arriving either Wednesday or Thursday.

What I have coming:
BB SR20DET
JWT Turbo ECU
2.5" downpipe
Intercooler relo kit
various gauges (boost, H2O temp, oil pressure)
Redline 90-250 tranny oil

What I need still:
new driver's side axle (one on car now is going)
water pump (?)
3" exhaust

Anything else I'm missing??? We're planning to do the swap Nov 2 and 3 so I still have time to pick up some stuff and do other prep work. I'm getting anxious to know what it feels like to have 200whp at all times....hehehe. Wish me luck!

Already have a JWT PP + stock disk. I'm sure this will hold on stock boost. As for the flywheel, I'm putting in a ZEX 10.5lb unit. http://www.sr20deforum.com/NonCGI/wink.gif

Any other tips?

Motor mounts, the stockers are gonna go fast. There is a chance yours might not come with the turbo to MAF hose, you might need to make something, I would also replace the water pump while the motor is out. The swap is pretty easy over all.
Good luck!

Already have the ES full set! I'm sure all the stuff I'll need will be coming, as I got the DET from Chris at SR20 Development. I think I am fully prepared, but I just remembered that I will be needing a battery relo kit and axle seals!

Damn! The "little" stuff adds up quick! Oh well, it'll all be worth it though!

Wish me luck everyone...and if anyone is in the Bay Area that would be interested in coming over and witnessing this transformation, email me...you're more than welcome!

Hell yeah! Man, I can't wait to get that thing in! It's gonna be great...we're gonna have some fast ass SR20s up in NorCal...you, me, Luis, Sherman, Larry, and Ron once he gets his car back together. It's going to be an awesome scene when all of us are kicking ass at Sears Point when it gets remodeled...hehehe.
