All show and no go!?

Haha yeah the VERY's been waiting patiently for her conversion for a while now - but I got good news a couple of weeks back that C-Red had my SR20DET in the workshop!!

We all knew she was all show and no go - but we weren't quite prepared for just how "NO GO" she was!...

The guys did a pre-conversion dyno run yesterday... So take a guess - how many rwhp for an s15 SR20DE is your money on... have a guess before you click on the thumbnail of the dyno screen >>>

BAHAHA - how lame :P

Once the parts started coming off - looked like some big problems were happenning with the stock exhaust... cat crapped itself and muffler well... not muffling!

But anyway - thats all in the past - ITS HAPPENING!! The old engine is out, and my new engine is getting prepped and built :)

Good compression figures were nice to see on the new SR20DET, and the new Garrett Disco potato is bolted up, all the shiny manifold and Greddy plenum and other bits are on, the RG clutch / pressure plate bolted up, Nismo mounts fitted, and the full stainless exhaust, hi-flow cat, intercooler and K & N pod waiting on the sidelines :)

Big thanks to Josh, Mark, Roy and Jash... cant wait to see the post-conversion dyno comparison to the poor old SR20DE chart! :P

A few workshop pics - old engine out and new engine getting ready...
