thank you sir, let me ask you something... what is your opinion of ramhorns on these things?

Ramhorn? Like a velocity stack?

hahaha funny, I was trying to find a pic of one but my browser sucks... i was talking about a ram horn exhaust manifold for the sr20det... anyone have any input? my stock one might not be useful anymore as there is a stud missing and another one would have to be welded on or something

oh haha. Like a Full-Race setup? What turbo are you using?

well, for now my t25... cause if i get a different turbo now it's going to extend the downtime of my car, i want to drive it already... I've seen one that works with ac and powersteering.... (ac could care less about but I just hooked up my power steering...) from peakboost or something for 150 dollars or something... not too expensive and It looks good too, plus it will flow a lot better then the stoc cast one

resurrecting this thread...

I know it's been a while but I've been really busy with work and such, so hears whats going on...

the wheel wells are being shaped and welded, and the engine bay is being ground down to prepare it for paint...

here's some pics






also the core support is being tweaked a little more to make it fit better, and the steel that is being used to fix the wheel wells has to be heated to red hot in order to shape it properly, so it's gonna take a while

oh, ordered this





car should hopefully be done by the end of the month, but one can't rush these things so it might be a little longer.

more updates soon

Bro.

ONE CANNOT RUSH THESE THINGS.

These things are serious.

true... but I wanna drive it already haha but yeah i don't wanna rush and fuck something up

Damn car needs keemo

keep it up lookin good and ya dont rush things u dont wanna learn shit the hard way

A lot of you have been asking whats going on with my car. Well, I'll show you.

This is what my SR currently looks like.



AC nozzels and things removed.



Wheel wells cut, welded, re-welded, and bondoed.





Engine bay truck bed lined, trans installed.





Little miscelaneous shit painted here and there...





Engine installed... still a wiring nightmare.



Picked up an M Sports type II front bumper



and these... Work Emotion XD9's, fronts 17 by 9.5 +17, rears 18 by 10 +18



Cars comming a long but I'm not that much in a hurry to get it out anymore. I've run out of money and have a truck to drive, when it gets done it will get done. Thanks for looking, and more updates soon!

I've always liked the xd9's.. nice!

this many be true, but I still don't want to rush it and complicate things anymore. As for the tires, yes I was thinking those, only because I'd like some rubber around my wheel should I hit a pothole or something, and not have to worry about fucking them up

FYI these are Matt's a.k.a. taco's old wheels... and he had em for 4 years. I gotta do something about my front fenders however, the wheels are mexilush at the moment... but I got some other stuff to worry about... and I ran out of money haha.

We know whose wheels they were.

fronts are poking all crazy, rears still need 50mm spacer I bet.

"Welcome to Dsquad, here are your complementary/mandatory 50mm spacers."

so true.

remember when you gave me mine?

and what happened like 5 minutes later?

best initiation of my life.

hahahahhaha.

"Bro. I think I only have 3 cylinders.."

"Just clutch kick harder."

AHAHAHAHAHA!

I remember it like it was yesterday.

"bro, come with me, I'll buy you a soda, it will be ok"

"ahh, fuck that line, lets just go rock out with some free samples of NOS"

^ true bromance

yeah the fronts do poke out crazy, so i gotta do something about that, eventually... I need to order some other parts though, and I havent tried the rears yet, although I wouldn"t be supprised if I had to space them.

Shitty pics but eh they are just to show how the wheels look









so yeah that is where the car stands right now. Also question... does anyone know if the air from the turbo on an SR have to be recirculated into the intake? I know on some cars it has to be because it will run like shit, but others it does not and frees up power. If somoene could answer this I would really appreciate it.

you mean recirculating your blow off valve?

you should not have to.

if your car was lower those fronts would fit fine. I just put that same size on brad's car and he's tucking them without issue.
