Holy fuck, are those open headers or is your exhaust done?
+199 rep for you, my friend

gsracer · 06-24-2007, 04:12 PM

Thanks for the compliments,

its still open headers it sounds completly different in person than in the video..

midnight zenki · 06-24-2007, 04:57 PM

Just finished reading your build so far and came to the start up clip and all I have to say is

gsracer · 06-26-2007, 08:24 PM

This is all the wiring that had to be connected

-16 fittings welded to the radiator

Fabbed up an alternator bracket for the 240sx alternator, and used the old vh45 a/c tensioner flipped upside down and sideways to tension the whole assembly. The powersteering will work right above the alternator however i just want to drive the car at this point so ill make the bracket later, haha

Plenty of room for a vortech supercharger now with the rad mounted this way. plus i have an empty 6 rib pulley space on the crank pulley

NiZMo1o1 · 06-26-2007, 10:29 PM

Man are you ready for War against Angel and his VQ35TT?

240REVS · 06-26-2007, 10:50 PM

That is bad ass!!! Loving the radiator mounting!

300hp owen · 06-27-2007, 09:43 AM

evil evil evil.
I love it.
crazy rad mount for sure, too bad you couldnt have left in the upper support, or are you gonna replace it when youre all done?
props man, with a 'charger its gonna haul major rumpa.

bigOdom1 · 06-27-2007, 12:27 PM

all bad ass except for the FRAM filter awesome job!!!!

papercake · 06-27-2007, 05:57 PM

My first post to a good cause! Love the build craftsmanship and quality, nice attention to detail. You make it look too easy.

gsracer · 06-27-2007, 07:19 PM

Well got the radiator mounted properly, and got the two upper braided radiator hoses minus one fitting which will be here tommorow, all i have to do to drive it at this point is make a water inlet for the water pump and thats it. Im gonna try and figure that out tommorow.

ch1873857 · 06-27-2007, 10:24 PM

where did you find those fittings and hose? i hate the blue and red one, those are much more tasteful

gsracer · 06-27-2007, 10:31 PM

summit racing,

The fittings are made by earls , russell, and aeroquip. They are called nickel fittings. They are considerably more exspensive than the reg ones.

The hose is braidied nylon and is 1/3 the weight of stainless steel, its only about 3 dollars more per foot.

ch1873857 · 06-27-2007, 11:38 PM

thats flippin sweet man. need more videos

lazierhobo · 06-28-2007, 12:45 AM

why did you decided you needed two upper radiator hoses?
awesome radiator setup, this is what i was considering doing, but havent done yet.

bardabe · 06-28-2007, 10:17 AM

damn that's cool makes me wanna do it to my car. so how are you going to bleed the coolant? jack up the front end so that the radiator cap is the highest point of the car?

240sx · 06-29-2007, 11:02 AM

awesome swap & build man, we love it up here in Canada on the West Coast. Car sounds stunning. I want to make a trip to Florida and just come listen to it!!

cavakilla · 06-29-2007, 11:07 PM

sweet project! i don't feel quite as insane now... i have one of these in the shop for install into an s13....

great job!

any chance you'll build me a set of headers? LOL

Lordrandall · 06-29-2007, 11:53 PM

Big props man, thats a ton of effort.

240sxaddict · 06-30-2007, 12:19 AM

wow, it seems like me, everyone, and their mother has this motor sitting around to swap.

on curious question. MPG?

beautiful job of course

gsracer · 07-01-2007, 07:57 PM

Cleaned up the engine bay a bit

As well as the car

Dont make fun of the duct tape you have no idea how diffiicult it is to find a 3.5 inch silicone coupler at 4pm on a sunday.

Got my dual exhaust made, sounds great, dual 3 inch with magnaflow xpipe muffler

intel · 07-01-2007, 08:18 PM

FUCKING sexy exhaust.. <3 it....

Sad s13 · 07-01-2007, 11:00 PM

i know how hard it is to find couplers on sundays too looks way sick though

nlzmo400r · 07-02-2007, 07:06 AM

if you're using a z32TT tranny, did u also use its differential or is that the stock rear end components? Oh and you have a really shiny subframe

also if you wouldnt mind sharing, how much did you spend on parts for this swap (minus the engine/tranny) ?
