Hey guys

I've purchased a S15 shell with a SR20DET that hasn't been started in a few months, and has been sitting outside as well.


Any tips or words of advice before I try to turn it over?


Mods, apologies if this is in the wrong section, please move to the appropriate section!


Cheers

Oil change, pull the plugs out, pull fuel pump fuse so injectors don't fire and turn the engine over untill you get oil pressure. put plugs and fuse back in and start it.

The oil will be fine as long as it still looks like oil- no water contamination, it's not black tar, etc.

It is better to change it hot so you get more of it out. So warm it once, then change it and the oil filter.

Other than that, exactly what was said. Have a good condition battery, Disable fuel, and turn the motor over to build oil pressure before starting.

As long as its all plumbed in (no chance of water getting into the intake/exhaust) it will be fine.

If concerned, turn it over by hand first, before you strike the starter.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
