crazed build

Crazed hatch · Nov 28, 2011

been lurking for years, i guess its my turn to make one of these.

first one i built way back when

decided to pick up something a little less beat up

and what is going in it

so i got busy and stated pulling stuff out

figured everything was out so i might as well start cleaning a little

picked up a few parts to get my started

so thats where im at now. i have been slowing down working on it cause its been getting cold outside and im not lucky enough to have a garage to put it in. ill post more updates along the way

gotta have the pink lettering

mock up, still a little off

i had a question about power steering. on the hatch the pulley is on the driver side and in the coupe its on passenger side. like so

now are those interchangeable or is there something special i have to do? obviously to mount it to the motor it has to be on the drivers side.

those fans are garbage use the stock clutch fan or get altima fans

you can swap out the powersteering lines from the hatchback. i ran into the same problem with my ca swap and cheaped out so now i dont have powersteering

little update today

decided to go out and switch the power steering lines and pump over to the drivers side. all went well, besides it being a pain in the ass. i was going to tear down the sr20 and have it ready to be pulled tomorrow but the mosquito's decided it was time for me to go inside.

i also found this today when i was taking off the hot pipe to get the the power steering lines

Crazed hatch · Dec 22, 2011

KAman19 · Dec 23, 2011

i havent done anything in a while now. i lost my access to an engine hoist and i dont have the money to buy one so i kinda hit a dead spot, but i did decided to go outside today and start tearing my interior apart and do some cleaning and tar removing.

after i removed all the carpet. it wasnt too dirty besides the random pieces of corn under the back seat

the only rust i found on the car was in the trunk, nothing a little silicon and sanding cant fix

gotta love the backyard during a build

once i get paid next month, ill be off to ice house to get some dry ice and start the long process.

How's this doing?

Crazed hatch · Oct 10, 2012

sorry for the long void in the build update guys. i have been really busy with school and havent really had a chance to do anything. until this past week

after some tweeks and chasing wires and plenty of oil

motor was swapped and stared on first key turn !!!

so while i was waiting for check in the mail to go get her legal and registered, i decided to take off all that nasty old purple tint.

all clean!!!!

and just a little walk around of how the car sits now

i did notice that i had a crack in my turbo manifold the other day, so i am waiting on a new one to come in the mail. ill just weld up the old one and keep it as a spare. the windshield needs to be replaced because it has a nice crack all the way across it

the last problem i have to tackle is im going to recirc my bov. ive heard that if you recirc your bov that it will fix the problem of the car dying when coming to a stop when the clutch is pushed in and running rich. which is two problems i am having right now. so im waiting on some stuff i ordered to see if i can fix it

Leave the cracked windshield- it matches the dash

Just kidding. Good work man!

i still have not seen a 240 without a cracked dash around here. i might fiberglass mine someday... on the list of many things i will probably never get to

Crazed hatch · Oct 13, 2012

well i had some parts come in yesterday

new turbo manifold to replace my cracked one

recirc intake pipe

BOV adapter

some hose to go from the BOV to the instake pipe

going to spend the better part of today hooking everything up and testing it all out

i might try and hook up a MBC i got off ebay but im not sure if i want to trust it

Crazed hatch · Oct 13, 2012

Well today was going good, everything was coming off like it should of. I didnt break any studs off takeing the manifold off.

it is always nice to have parts scattered throughout the yard

and in the attempt of taking off the O2 sensor i found this .....

so i guess its time to order more parts.... i guess the good news is that this might kick me in gear to get a nice exhaust setup

Mikester · Oct 14, 2012

That's a NASTY crack dude!

When you put the new manifold in, make sure to use the little support bracket that they usually come with; it will lessen the chances of it cracking on you. Also, to run that turbine inlet pipe, you need a 2-bolt flange adapter IIRC.
