You have no idea how much joy it brings me to see that you didn't give up the SR20 engine, while you still use the 1JZ/2JZ's and RB's in the other cars you own. Cannot wait to rebuild mine SR20 in the near future!
I wish my 240sx came with a SR20, but because their getting hard to find I took the first one I found. So the 240sx I found had a single cam KA24E. So I'm going to LS swap it once my KA breaks down. Why LS because evey other motor is just too expensive. I can build an LS for cheaper then getting an SR20.
I know my SR in and out been using it with out issues in over 10 years , recently tore it down to inspect it and give it the attention it deserves .. but enjoy seeing other peoples SR content.. good stuff
Adam I just want to say thank you for posting and doing what you do. Your channel and content is unique and extremely entertaining, I appreciate everything you do and feel someone should tell you that!
Just FYI that gasket sealant makes paper gaskets one time use and disassembly takes some force. Really best reserved for sealing surface damage. As a teen I sprayed a 2 stroke gasket set all at once without realizing they'd be ruined when removing the CVT cover and intake/carb for tuning. Made a bunch more cleaning work too.
Hey I just wanna say your my motivation to continue trying to learn how to work on cars I’m a beginning and I was just looking at car videos and I landed on a video of you talking about not knowing much about cars and ppl saying mean things this video was posted 4 years ago and your progression just motivated me to never give up thank you
@@240sxRule depends where they're from, outside of the States Silvia's didn't have KA engines. they went from CA18DE/T (actually older, from the S12, but more power than a KA stock and super strong) and halfway through the S13 model went to an SR18 or SR20 for the 180sx and silvia respectively. Depending on your country, SR engines can be dirt cheap since they were in Primera's, Silvias for like 20 years, Pulsars and a few more, but the CA is well worth building and doesn't sound quite as bad as the SR lol
@@helplmchoking No need to explain all that to a 13 year old TH-cam account named 240sxrule. I was just guessing he's an American, as Adam, and a majority of his viewers are.
Just spent all day with my bitchy s14 zenki.....cuddling and petting her to get her to play nice...rewarded with a working MAF and smashing good run around the block ...AFRs @ 14.7to1!!!! came in sat down after a long hard ,very hot day .....and this ASWOME ALZ video .... thanks Adam you just made my day
@@Matty.Hill_87 VVL head. 9000 rpm no problem. Neo VVL is the "vtec" version of Nissan. Basically the cam profiles have two cam lobes, one denote as low cam and the other high cam. When the engine rev reaches a certain point, a solenoid will lock the rocker arm activating the high cam profile. This increases engine air flow capacity giving more power while still retaining torque in low revs with the low cam. Basically An SR. Version of Nissans design. Came in NA sr pulsars, p11, p12 bluebirds.
Wire wheeling your alternator definitely cleans it up, but it will make it rust. find a direct to metal clear or galvanizing coat to put on it to make it last longer.
Be carefully with the gasket spray stuff. I used it and it ended up getting into the air, via fans I was running I guess, and I ended up with orange metallic on my freshly paint corrected 996tt. Had to go over it with a clay bar twice then with polish and a foam pad to get it all off
Im not usually early, but since I am here. Adam. I have watched you from saying "you dont wanna be a car duesch" when you were riding bmx before you had a car. All the way to now. I am so happy for you and Collette. I have never seen you so happy and fulfilled. With the dogs, and just talking together.
I don't even have valve guide seals in the little 4 banger I have, they restrict flow. doesn't need them anyways. but its nice when the replacement gaskets have a bead of silicon already on them.
325kw - 18psi 363kw - 21 psi G25-660 e85 9:1 256/260 2L Full boost with VCT by 3400, built motor, you should be able to get the 550 at the same if not less, and don't have to worry about the rods going on a holiday having a built motor. Currently doing basically the same build on my built motor for my s14 drift car. Would kill to get my hands on that manifold, my high mount stainless is a pain to work on 😒
Adam, not all of us can afford Sr20's we would be way more interested if you could make videos about stuff we can relate to like ka's. .......... jk lol
Should have gotten a Hypertune intake manifold and a Hypertune exhaust manifold, they are from Australia and make top quality parts, you should check them out
Great video. I've done what you did here and from my experience it's better to sand blast & powder coat the old parts whenever possible. Buying of the brand new ones and fitting them without a powder coating is kind of a time waste, as these will corrode/oxidise again...
Might as well do a Bosch electronic throttle body too it looks a lot cleaner. The 60mm has the same bolt pattern as the oem SR20 throttle. Just need longer bolts.
That exhaust manifold needs expansion reliefs between the ports. The CTE difference between the head and the manifold can shear the exhaust studs over time without expansion reliefs
The coolant return line fitting that you removed and sealed by weling , it is actually the main hot coolant retuen for the thermostat, the mian reason to flow thru there is to let the thermostat see how hot the coolant temp exit from the head, AND YOU MUST KEEP THAT ALIVE, the one that closer to the block you keep, is the heater return line, which WILL NOT affect the thermostat operation and it does NOTHING to open the thermostat, THATS THE ONE YOU SHOULD BLOCK OFF if you do not need heater, if you keep the factory thermostat or a low temp thermostat and your coolant flow like that, you will have high water temp problem, caused by improper hot coolant flow path, hot coolant did not flow thru the back of the thermostat, and the thermostat will be too lazy to open. IF YOUR COOLANT FLOW LIKE YOU DID , THE ONLY CONDITION WITHOUT OVERHEATING IS NO THERMOSTAT TO CONTROL COLD COOLANT FLOW BACK FROM THE RADIATOR. --- ie: welded blocked off path originally design to flow hot coolant on the back of the thermostat to fight with the cold coolant flow from the front of the thermostat !
Someone should tell Adam that the ideal SR20DET is actually an SR20VET. Again he might want to look to Australia for examples. But putting a VET head on the SR20 makes for incredible gains.

Same, cant wait to slap a neo head on!
Word of advice for taking studs out. Find 2 nuts that fit the threads. Tighten them together and use nut closet to the block to spin the stud out.

That exhaust manifold looks so different to what we normally see

You guys turn these round so fast 🔥☑️

It's aluminum.
Mike Miller My bad. Corrode… it will still oxidate. Regardless still needs a protective coating of sorts.
I still remember a video where he broke handle bars on his BMX and was absolutely LIVID, it’s crazy how far people get.

Never get bored of an sr build vids

I’m stoked to hear this sr20. Starting to look so good!
Love the color of the S15 Enginebay
Woah. Never been this early! I miss the old vibes, glad to see its slowly making a come back!
Him working on a SR20 definitely gives me some serious throw back vibes but this time he knows what he's doing with more confidence😂🤷🏽♂️
I want one of those manifold! Would go great with my gtx30 and Tial back housing! 💪💪
Man that shop has been bright as hell in the last few videos
RTV gaskets for the win. I have an SR20DET. They are great. Great content. Thanks for sharing!
Been loving the channel since you graduated from college man keep grinding loving it looking forward too every upload

Love that ex manifold . Cant wait to ear it and see dyno result

God damn it Adam right as I wanted to go back to work you drop a amazing video I NEED to watch😁😁
Glad to see wrenching vids coming back!!

what you did there, I see it

not trying to sound like a hater but i think this is the first video ive enjoyed in a while.

I'm actually super interested in that exhaust manifold, let me know where I can get one of the "limited" ones asaply
saw the new manifold looks great its not from Australia though, i would have bought one
