SDP Sr20det Build part 1

[blu808]

So we are building an s13 sr for a customer. Just wanted to share some pics of the engine build.

The customers original engine failed due to a blown HG that induced coolant into the oil and caused a rod bearing failure.

We Started off with a fresh used sr block. After having the block hot tanked, bored, and honed, we went ahead and had the whole rotating assembly balanced. After balancing was finished we assembled the bottom half of the engine.

Cp pistons, Total seal rings, Crower rods, ARP 2000 rod bolts, ARP main bolts, Clevite 77 race bearings, S14 water pump, new oil pump, timing chain, etc.

Here is the bare bottom end.

Next we were ready to install the oil pickup. A major problem with the sr20det oil pickups that is not very well known is that the tube is only tack welded to the flange.

I have seen many sr motors fail because the tack welds will break and drop the tube into the oil pan. A little secret we do here at SDP is to tig weld the tube to the flange, and tig the tube to the pickup. Remember to do this if you ever have your oilpan off.

Next we bolted up the new rear main seal, and resurfaced the face of the oil pickup flange since the heat will bend the metal a little bit.

Then we started to clean all the items we will be reusing on this new motor.
Greddy intake manifold, 740cc injectors, etc

nice build i wish i had that kind of money to throw down on something like that it has taken me a year to get were am at on my sr, that motor is going to be a bad ass M/F that is for sure

[Gumballf355]

Looks like your beer drinking/kicking back skill have been lacking lately. Good build Luke... You've really come a long way since I first met you. Welds are starting to look like piles of silver coins!

[blu808]

bobby22_8: Thanks. I wish i had the money to build a motor like this for my personal 240. Any pics of your setup?



Gumballf355: Thanks Jon. Sitting at home and drinking with friends is allways fun, but when it comes to work its a whole other story.

[bobby22_8]

why does everyone say they hot tank the block. You dont hot tank aluminum parts, due to the fact that the hot tanks contain chemicals that will melt aluminum. you can jet clean or use other fomrs of cleaning just a pet peeveof mine

[daryl337]

Im not sure what machine shop you work at and what kind of chemicals you use, but at the shop I worked at hot tanking would not melt aluminum. We used solvents of course but im not familiar with such an industrial grade solvent that melts alluminum. Seals and gaskets of course will be ruined. Just my two cents. :)

[yojimbo206]

love that seat.

[rednerd]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Clevite bearings were a no-no? Does clevite now offer more than one size/grade bearing?

[wangan_cruiser]

is the seat is for sale? LOL


good build luke and clean sr is coming back to life

[Dutchmalmiss]

Mass production on the new bride seat FTW!!! CLEAN and careful build tho. lovin the welds. i wish i had the money for this hah.

BTW i noticed you installed an s14 sr water pump on an s13 sr. bolt-on? gains in cooling?

[delphis]

damn when I start building my det up I will have to come and see luke that is for sure!

[yaba94070]
