Decided to go a different path so I've been working on that the last year or more. The old A15 started either eating a lifter or eating the cam or both on one lobe so its been sitting for a while. Decided to rebuild an old SR20DET I had laying around to swap into it. Also got a CD009 6 speed to try to fit. The H190 is already mounted in along with tubular control arms. The engine swap had been waiting a long time to get the 200sx crossmember from a guy parting his out, but I recently got it finally. It's almost ready to start the swap.

The engine was an SR20 I got ripped off on many years ago. I was taken to the cleaners hard. Engine was supposed to be ready to run and include lots of aftermarket parts. The jerk never gave those parts, kept other accessories off the engine, and then to top it off the engine had a spun rod bearing. Its all fixed up now with forged rods and 9.2:1 pistons, VE oil pump conversion, ATI damper, Tomei 256 cams dialed in, 1.1 metal head gasket, GTX2871R, Freddy intake, 750 injectors, and it will retain air conditioning so help me God.

We bought another B310 but a hatchback for my son that we're going to turn into a SGX-E instead. That'll get its own thread eventually. We're going to pick it up next weekend and ensure it's roadworthy before driving it cross country home about 3000 miles. Really looking forward to that trip!

I figured it was the same person but found it odd his name/profile on here wasn't mentioned. I've bought from him before, didn't know about efi manifolds. Can you post pics/examples?

Before you swap out your 1200s worn out steering column bushing do yourself a favor. Go to harbor freight and find item 97345, antenna nut wrench. It has an EXACT perfect fit wrench on the end to get the 50 year old bushing sleeve out. Don't forget to undo the two divets made in the slots to hold it in BEFORE you try unscrewing the bushing. Also mark or take a measurement of how far the old bushing sleeve sticks out before removal, then screw the new one in that same depth.

I agree with D, the GX head with the huge ports likely is a bit much for most A series builds that aren't a full race setup.

1902 cc A series with a Hitachi carb?! Why spend sooo much on an engine and downgrade it externally? I'd do that engine proper with ITBs at the very least, better have them send it my way.

I'm more and more intrigued with the E16 crank y'all are doing over there...may have to build one myself if I can get a strong enough trans behind it.

I guess if you're building a 400+ hp A series the 6 speed could be better, otherwise a 71C will live to more than what most A series will ever do. The 6 speed is huge, and the internal slave cylinder sucks, and shifter will need replacement too likely.

Get silicone hoses off eBay to rule out hose collapse and try to run a larger radiator with fan shroud if able.

Please post a link to one of his auctions for this. I can't seem to find anything on Yahoo Japan.
