July 2016

Been a while. Things have been done here and there. LOTS of bay stuff. Which in my opinion brings the whole build together. Anyways, lets get too it.


So it started with me putting a larger throttle body from an SR20 on the car, and a few days later a AEM intake that I got at the junkyard, and cut up to make work. It was for an impreza or something, idk, if it works it works.





Then came EGR delete



EGR block off plate




And then it started.

Painted the trans, as best I could anyways




Got out the seam sealer, welded in a plate, applied bondo, smoothed it out for ten minutes and called it good enough lol



Wire wheeled the block and painted that, again, the best i could.


Did some more hole filling and smoothing here and there, nothing too crazy but enough to clean it up a decent amount. Got it primered up



Cut a massive chunk off the alternator bracket.


And this is the only part that i needed. easily 10 pounds removed.


Made a new power steering reservoir, and relocated it behind the strut tower, fairly hidden.


Painted, front half at least.


All buttoned up

Didnt take more than a few days for me to not be happy with how the bay turned out. Granted im not trying to go crazy with it, but i wanted it noticeably shaved/tucked. So back in the garage it went for more work.

The valve cover was really ugly, that needed changing.





The valve cover definitely helped, but,..


It was time to get serious.

Look at that mess!


With all that out of my way i was able to get the rest of the block painted. Its not painted here, I was just sayin, it did get done.


Took out the Idle Air Control Valve.


Made another block off plate


Shaved the upper intake down


Fuel rail is pretty ugly too. Also needed changing


polished caps


More paint


Lower intake re-assembled.




Upper intake done


Painted the fire wall, and re-hit the front of the bay too. You can also see the wiper motor relocation I did. As far as I know im the first to do that to one of these.



Heres a video from when i was at that point in the process.



Lower intake mounted


Upper intake mounted, starting to look decent!


Look at all that room!


While i was in the bay with the intake manifolds off, I put in an oil pressure gauge, heres a shot of the gauge setup/radio relocation.


And here we have it!






All in all im really happy with it. Its far from amazing but looks nice enough to round out the whole build in my opinion. Heres a a video overview of everything:



So thats about it for now, not much has gone on since all that. But once more changes happen, im sure ill post about it a month or so later

And oh yea, heres some video, taken with my camera tripod ratchet strapped in the back of a passat wagon with the hatch open, scrapping my front lip everywhere i go on seemingly flat ground lol



Until next time my friends.

September/October

Time for my Bi-monthly thread update. Or in this case I guess Tri-monthly. Nothing really happened throughout all of September and October, Worked on alot of other peoples cars and didnt really touch mine except for routine maintenance. I did however, build a pretty sweet moped.



And got a couple dope shots of the sentra

November

And then November rolls around and shit hits the fan.



Okay now lets rewind, back to the beginning of the month.

So as I stated in my last post, I spent most of sept/oct not really working on my car, and helping out some friends here and there with theirs. Well one of the cars I got to work on was a MK1 Audi TT Quattro, which had a replaced motor. Well the owner still had the old motor, and turbo. So guess who got a free, used and abused but in working condition, KO4 Turbo?! This guy did!

Now while I dont have any pictures worth posting of the build process up to this point, I do have a 5 Part build series on my youtube channel, over 2hrs of footage that covers basically everything ive done, which I will include in the post.

Current setup is as follows:

KO4 Turbo running 6-8 psi on a modified stock wastegate
2.5in Exhaust dumped straight out the front bumper
SR20 Injectors ( 259cc )
SR20 Throttle Body ( this is an old mod but figured id list it as its part of turbo setup )
Ebay HKS SSQ BOV
Intercooler is from a MK4 GTI
Intercooler piping is 2.5in
Fuel filter from a Mercury Mountaineer ( lol had it in spare parts bin, flows more, why not )
Ebay adjustable FPR set at 6 bar
Ebay 255 lph fuel pump
AEM Wideband ( betcha were thinking id cheap out there huh? lol )
Apexi SAFC 1 ( Old school is cool, and affordable, and works kinda )

And thats basically it, for now. I was Originally planning on just having fun with this setup for a while and then SR swapping it and carrying over the turbo stuff, But im starting to change my mind. SR cars are pretty hard to find, every few months one will pop up for around 1000ish give or take, while at any given time you can usually find a GA car for 500ish give or take. So I think im gunna just buy another GA sentra, Swap all the 5spd stuff over to my current car, and either make an automatic daily, or sell all the stuff i dont need thats worth selling and scrap the rest, and then id have a spare motor already. But well get there when we get there.

On to the Videos I mentioned:











And some pictures from the other day, Got rid of the Enkies in the midst of the build, needed extra cash. Im content with the new look, Its a good winter setup at the very least.










So thats it for now, still dialing in the setup. Hopefully the next update will contain a 5spd swap!

I love the white wheels.

Have you thought about tinting those yellow corner lights? They stand out a little too much for me.
