hello everyone... kinda nearing the end of my mini project cefiro... its gonna be a daily driver so mods are simple and aimed more towards comfort then track/drift warrior... well here goes...

I personally imported this ceffy in october last year. bought for notmuch more then a box of coronas with the rb20 single cam intact, the main thing that drew me to this car was thestructural condition ofthe car.. it was in mint condition with full log books, etc... also the fact that it had no hicas made me transfer the money and before long my friend had done the FOB and dereg required in japan...

while the importation process was underway, i sourced a s15 silvia front cut to do the sr20 conversion... one thing is for sure.. this is truly a bolt on affair... once both front cut and car landed... we got to work straight away... the old RB came out... along with gearbox, etc etc... the s15 halfcut was stripped and all parts put aside... whilethe engine was out, i added a stainless manifold with the stock turbo...

as most of you may know already, the s15 crossmember is a bolt on.. i dropped the engine and gearbox in together and while i was under the car found out that the gearbox crossmember also bolted on... no modification required.... damn.. dontyou just love it when thing just happen??... anyways an s15 radiator was used and a stock s15 dump with a 3 inch front will have to do for the moment. I used a gtr cooler and had to make custom piping from the turbo to the hotpipe in 3 inch... for the "cold" side, i used a hks pipe...

the stock cefiro interior was comfortable butthe seats looked huge and kinda sofa-like... so i sourced a complete r32 gtr interior including front and rear seats... they all bolt on except for the back, there is a bit of a gap about 2 cm each side where the seats meet the door... small priceto pay though... comfortable as interior... also a nardi steering wheel was thrown in for good measure as were tomei exhaust temp and water temp gauges

thewiring i will have to get done as soon as the guy (slidewayz, i think he is called) is free... well... thats my story in short... list of mods is below...

stainless steel manifold

Trust Profec e0-1 boost controller

Trust oil cooler with filter relocation

stock dump with 3" frontpipe rest of the exhaust will be custom 3" and an apexi muffler

GTR front mount with custom piping on the "hot" side and HKS pipe on the "cold" side

Tomei Exhaust and water remp gauges

GTR front and rear seats

Nardi steering wheel

Trust Type R bov

for the moment this is all i can remember and dont think i have missed anything though... main priority is to get the car on the road now...

any more updates and ill keep editing this post...

cheers ... some shit fotos from my fone will be included later as i couldnt be bothered to take some high res fotos and post them up at the moment.. :whistling:

cheers

oh man this is the news i have been wanting to hear for sooooooo long!!!

my car is auto and i wanted to go an s14 front cut, cos i heard the 6 speeds dont last that long (im sure that's heresay, from someone no doubt thrashing their cars)

but mannnnnnnnnnnnn thanks so much for the info!!!

no problemo dude.. the rear seats arent too wide.. in fact i meant they are a little too short so theres a gap there... thats all... :O and for people wanting to do an sr20 swap.. i have a s15 halfcut coming in.. its fully dressed so pm me offers for parts if you need.. :devil:

cheers

MAD!

can i just ask... you said the rear seats are that touch to wide. Does that mean it's hard to close the doors or anything like that?

If i get a cef I'd like to do the same thing with the interior so was just curios.

Cheers,

Dave.

    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
