today, sunday swap day , removing ka24e.

depressurized the ac, took off the ps lines, had a small problem with the manifold pipe, 2 bolts were jammed, so had to separate the manifold from the engine, and took the exhaust aside, kept the gearbox hooked, cuz dont have all the tools i need, i was short on so many tools, but its good, a good mechanic can manage anything

engine bay toooo dirty beyond what i imagined

ka24e out, tomrw, cleaning all the engine bay, putting a dohc power steering lines, new bushings for steering gearbox, t28 with manifold new gasket, turbo snail new gasket, and down pipe new gasket, then droping engine either tomrw, or the day after, hope the wiring wont be a pain in the ass, but its cool.
stay tuned for more pics.

awesome build, really like this.
all the haters need to realise not everybody can throw endless amounts of money at cars, and some of us have to make do with what we have and can get hold of cheap.

thx tom, yes indeed, well most of the drifters built their cars with low budgets, i personally dont want every racer to be like this, but i really want people to realize that, even if ur dead broke, the enthusiasm and love for the sport, and the feel u have towards those machines, will push u to build with low budgets. thx for following guyz... will keep u posted soon i was sick for a couple of days, so hopefully tomrw il be better, and il get the engine bay and front end ready for spraying

back with some updates, ka is out

thats day number 2 working on the cars here

engine bay, cleaning started

a corona jst fills it all

taking the ca out of rex

found a crack on the wategate of the t28, btw im runing t28 on stock everything, il keep it low boost til i upgrade whats needed

well, my luck cannot get any better, the ca8de on this 200sx, is actually a ca8det, but they removed the turbo, and placed an na manifold, people here dont know how to take care of turbo cars, i knew abt the engine when i was checking the oil and water feed lines on the block

so i thought about rather than sticking to the wiring loom i got that isnt complete, id take out the wiring from the red sx

end of day 2

[driftking27]

starter in place

got a pilot boost gauge from a friend and tried many ways to see where to install it

got thisfrom the other sx, this hold the oil valve that fits on the wheel arch nxt to the tb

was gona fit it here, but too high

this is too "in the center" for a boost gauge, so no

i like this place

but this is the perfect place, in the middle of the kilometer, i can see all the cluster gauges

[driftking27]

heres the last updates

installed the wiring

installed the head lights

installed power steering lines

tested the pipes and intercooler

 

[chidley]

rule number 1, make sure the breather at the back of the rocker cover on the right hand side is in good condition and is returning to the bottom end, they're prone to deteriorate and starve the bottom end of oil, as the heads on CA18's breath heavily. also, strange intercooler pipework run, will you be able to still use the viscous fan and shroud?

 

[driftking27]

thats toshi

modified the MAF wiring and some others that were barely hanging.

filled some dot 4 clutch oil and bleeded the clutch

tested the air filter pipe jst to check if everything fits perfectly, it turns out that i need to remove the fuel purge can, or modify the pipes

installed the driveshaft and tranny seats

took out the starter and alternator wiring from the ka to install on the ca

here im just checking the ignotion module from the red sx, but i havent found any diagram from the ignition module or how to install it on the ka stock fuse box, so tomrw im gona plug it out, and add its current fuses and plugs all together

last pics before i left

thx for the advice on the breathers, but didnt quite get what u said exactly, can u plz explain ? thx, and i will change the location of the pipes, they are gona be fitted on top of the fan cover and sitting tight nxt to the radiator, but here the fuel purge tank is in the way, il fix that too, and plz dont forget to explain what do u mean about the breathers.

 

[driftking27]

back after alot of work, never had actual time to go online, anw heres the last pics and updates
disconnected the dash to check why there is no positive on the ignition key
