Why I'm here is because of my latest purchase! I bought it a few months ago, has gone through a few younger guys before me and before that was owned by some old guy, so it is completely bog stock apart from gay wheels I got with it.

So this is it; prepare yourself, its totally a grandpa car.

yeah, woo, super cool. not really. It came on 15 x 8 +0 steelies WITHOUT stretched tyres. I will let you imagine that, I wont hurt your retinas with such bad taste.

Anyway I'm making this post because I have a terrible habit of saying I will keep track of everything I do, then once i start someone asks me and I can never remember everything that i change - so i figured for this car as its starting with nothing I had better try keep track of everything!

its completely bog stock - or was - when I got it. It had a furious rb20e in it that was held in line by a glorious auto box.

Such rubbish, such slow slow rubbish.

Somehow with that rubbish i managed to smash a rocker completely in half, at the same time jam the cam with the piece, strip teeth off the timing belt and break it. needless to say this went down about 2 months into owning it and this has already happened;

So after a week or two of sitting, i could not for the life of me choose what to put in it - I wanted to be silly, I wanted to go LS but no, thats just gay. in a laurel especially. 2J was/is to much work and I didn't want another rb25 as I also own this bucket.

but thats another car and for another post if people want to know about it! It actually has cool shit and work done.

so I decided to do this, as it was for daily duties and will be driven everywhere as my 'reliable' and hopefully more stock than anything else car - I did the unthinkable.

Thats right. SR life.

I won't bore you all with progress shots - but I will leave you with a mods list so far; and a photo of the bay as it sits at the moment!

Also, if you dislike wrinkle black - stop reading now - i have a thing for it at the moment and this engine bay is going to have a shit ton of it.

10525965_10152616351704747_5547746282494

List as of right now!

Engine:
Sr20det (low km's s13 import engine)
Low mount 4 into 1 manifold
Stock turbo
Stock injectors
Stock intake
HKS death mushroom filter
S13 crossmember and mounts
A/C delete

Gearbox
Rb20det box
Sr20det bell housing
Custom gearbox mounts
Nismo Clutch
Nismo Flywheel
Single piece tail shaft
S13 pedal box (brake and clutch)


The other usual boring stuff:

In bay front mount

Exhaust - 3 inch - 1 muffler, 1 hotdog and High flow cat
Triple core copper tanked and centered radiator
Walboro 255
Battery to boot
Turbosmart Boost gauge - got rid of the non-working clock.
Boost tee
Woodgrain Nardi
Front lip - club L?
Some hekkaz habiby sub and speakers and amp.

So! it hasnt been run yet, I'm a bit lazy and busy, but hopefully this week that changed and something actually happens! It goes for exhaust next week so it should be fine to roll after that!

Then once all this is sorted, running and getting me to and from work fine, I will add in:

Knuckles
lock spacers
2 way diff
Coils
Solid diff and rear subframe bushes
Adjustable camber/toe/everything arms

Then probably just a tiny bit of low on the s13 stocko's and call it a day! I just want a clean, functioning and tough little street car to fly under the radar! If i want loud, flame popping, attention drawing and silliness I will just jump in the cefiro instead!

Hope it is some peoples taste, SR's aernt my thing but I may as well give it a good go!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
