Sr20 Conversion To Ke55 Plus Rebuild Plus Pimpage

[JDM55]

so can't realy do anything else on the alternator till the parts are dry, going to send them all off to an auto elec to put new bearings and new bushes in it and get it running like new again, also they can assemble it for me,so till then,

 

back to the engine,didnt get much time tonight to get alot done ,

work is chaos at the moment,but started a few small things...

 

 

i managed to remove the front pulley,by using a 3 pronged puller,

 

 

and heres the front pulley, abit rusty and crusty,but ill soon sort that out,

 

 

 

again to my surprise behind the pulley where you couldnt see what was going on,

was actualy very clean,no sign of leaks from the front seal,

 

 

 

pretty much my idea here is to take off most of what i can get off and clean it ,

paint it ,recondition it ,what ever, just give everything a general tidy up,

also I'm learning alot about the engine as i go so thats always a good thing too,

 

 

so next thing i looked at was the plenum chamber thing,is that how you spell it?probably noticed already my a1 spelling hahaha ,

 

 

 

it was a little fiddley to get off and ended up having to remove the heater hosing and pipe work behind it to allow it to come free,dam japs and there small hands, have no idea how they get to some of those hose clamps if it starts leaking ,

 

 

and here it is off finally after working out how to navigate it off the engine,some thing i noticed straight away was how clean it was inside,was realy expecting to see alot of oily crap,as ive seen in other engines on the net, but strange enough it was very clean just a few little bits if oil ,

haha yeah I'm happy with it ,i have 18 litres of it mixed up ready to spray (also perks of the job):dance: ,should do my hard work some justice i think

[greenmac80]

18ltrs? jeez enough to do 2-3 cars with all that!!

[JDM55]

yeah well its a full respray in and out door jams ,doors boot bonnet engine bay and exterior,and due to the colour being a bit on the see thru side need extra coats to cover,also i wanted extra for when i crash it, so i don't end up with differnt colours all over it,i can't stand that,i see it every day at work, so yeah thats why the excess in paint ,and it was free so what the hell :dancetall:

[JDM55]

quicky removed the manifold tonight ,trying to get time at the moment,things are hectic,hopefully the weekend i can actualy make some sort of progress,

 

 

it came off realy easy only 6 bolts and 2 nuts holding it on,this is what it looks like with out it on

 

 

abit hard to see from my dodgey camera,grrr gona have to get a new one ,bit hard to get decent picture with my phone :bash:

 

the intakes look very clean also, i little bit of blacky stains but hardly any at all ,

 

 

 

 

quite a big funky looking manifold, just have to figure out how to gett the injectors out of the thing
