i bought this car about a year ago with the full intent of doing an sr20swap and dragracing it
this is what it looked like when i got it
when i got the car it had like truck liner on the dash i found a dash at u-pull-it for $50 here's the pics
old dash
new dash
i took it to the drag strip and i ran a whooping 17.2 in the 1/4mi
i removed 48lbs out of the car
i took out all of the a/c stuff it didn't work anyways
i weighed the box after i was done
i removed the egr and the recirculate from the exhaust and installed a new o2
then i needed to find out why it stuttered when it was at wot it picks up OK but its still holding back
i found out the the intake gaskets were leaking and the #2 injector was going bad fixed that took it back to the track and ran a 15.5
after pulling the intake off
this is where the bomb went off lol
i installed a full 3" header-back exhaust
cat-less pipe
pipe measurements
then i got a header for the tired ka
before
header
after install
i went out and drove it and its got a lot smoother excel. and i ran 90mph in the 1/4
well the car still wasn't fast enough for me so i decided to put a nitrous kit on it at a 75 shot
pics
when i first installed it i put the wrong pills in the nozzle and made it run super rich i took it to a dyno and when they hit the nitrous the a/f went off the chart lean
so i put in a smaller nitrous pill that fixed the problem but i didn't pick up any time in the 1/4
so i took it to another dyno and gave them my pills and told them to make it run.
well after i took it to the track it went
first run 14.2
run two 14.0
run three 13.7
run four 14.3 and when i hit 3rd gear the clutch never came up off the floor
so i had to replace master cyl and slave cyl
i ran the number and it showed i was spraying a 125shot and the motor was holding it
then i disconnected the speed limiter and ran it up to 124mph w/o the nitrous
i was going to go faster but i came up on traffic
on DEC 30th 2008 the KA finally fell on its face after betting on it for a long time
i tore the block down to see how it faired with all that i had put it through
and i found out that the #1 bearing was the one knocking it was the only on that was deformed and scored i couldn't get a pic or the scoring but you can see how deformed they are

then i made a build video
YouTube - 240build part 1
well the car has been sitting waiting for the sr for about 3months now my taxes should be in mid month
while it has been sitting I've installed a J30 VLSD and cleaned the engine bay
plans for the sr20:
well i called Andy at AutoVaughn Performance Murfreesboro, TN Welcome to the Frontpage they are a disturber for Nistune NIStune - Nissan Realtime ECU tuning
i was on the phone with him for about an hour talking about what he does and what i can do once i have it install in my car
first: when i get my motor set in ill have to send the ecu off to them to have the data board installed with an usb port for connecting to the lap top and when it is shipped back to me after 2-4 days it will come with the link cable and software with a basic tune installed on it and i can start tuning from there
the software will not only let me tune it but i can log everything IE. knock, A/F, wide-band, and all the sensors
and i get it all for right at $500 shipped
also i have to send off my gt2571 turbo to forced performance and have them do the big 28 upgrade Forced Performance Turbochargers: Nissan SR20 FP Big 28 Upgrade that will be about $800
i still need to call them and talk to them
