Hi guys ive met a bunch of you last year at the fall kanc cruise. My names chris i drive a 92 nissan 240sx. im the ugly flat black nissan. Damn i need paint and a new front bumper.
Last fall i had an sr20 in it that was pretty much stock. My down pipe fell off right around lunch time on the cruise and everyone was eager to help i think someone lent me a couple tools and maybe even a coat hanger haha, but hey it worked for getting me home. The next day after that cruise i pulled my turbo out to fix the studs that had backed out but my friend convinced me to upgrade to a larger turbo and he'd buy my stock one. I agree'd So he hooked me up with wholesale prices on a gt2871r and then bought my turbo for about $250. I didnt really drive it much after the new turbo cause i knew id need a tune and i just didnt have the money plus it was time to park it for the winter.
Hood popped fixing my exhaust lol
After the fall cruise i could not wait for spring to meet up and do it all over again however it was a complete failure. Maybe about a month or two before the spring cruise i had pulled my motor with intentions of just upgrading to arp headstuds and putting a cosworth gasket on. To my surprise when i pulled the head i had a decent sized gash in cylinder number 1 from rusting i guess. So i tore it down sent it to the machine shop put larger wiseco forged pistons in, bought larger injectors, z32 maf, and nistune for tuning. I literally put the engine together the night before the 2010spring cruise. That night me and my friends pulled an all nighter putting my car backtogether so i could drive it up with them. at about 6:45am it was time for the first start. Turned the key and all i could hear was the starter spinning so i thought i had a bad starter. We did everything we could with no luck. At that point my friends had to go if they wanted to make it on time for the cruise i stayed home to mess with the car some more. Turns out i left the sparkplugs out lol. i put the plugs in and it fired right up but by that time all i wanted to do was sleep and my friends were already in nh haha.
But it doesnt end there after building the engine i still couldnt afford tuning so while it was parked i pulled the engine again to clean up the engine bay. Anyways long story short while the sr20 was still out my friend sent me a craigslist ad to a wrecked 02 camaro with 400whp running 11.4 quarter miles that still ran fine for $3900. A deal i didnt want to pass up so now the engine has found a new home in my nissan.
This story is missing a lot of bits and pieces but its for the better. i dont want this to be 298742387 pages long. Pretty much where the car sits now is i just need to install wiring and see if it works if it does ill see you all at 9am on sunday!
More pics and a vid of the camaro doing 11.44
Heres my nissan where the motor now lives.
