van watter bank kom jy vandaan?

Thanks man.

Some further updates.

Last moments of the factory SR20DE

ZHR helping out pulling the motor

couple of minutes later 😂 😂

Engine bay in need of a deep clean!!

So the first phase of cleaning begins

and then off course there is this little battery acid problem!!

So some sanding was in order

Then some primer

and some paint

and she's as good as new... 😀 😀

Battery tray didn't get off scott free either. Also needed some sanding

primer

and I decided on some bronze paint

A close up of the bronze paint. I really like it. Would look good on a centre consol too me thinks.

And while I was in a painting mood the water resevoir also got in the way 😮

looks nice! where did you buy that see-through black paint if i might ask?

Thanks WM. (Especially for changing that avatar - Lol 😂 )
It's not really translucent. Had to add an external water level indicator to the resevoir later. Pics are somewhere.

But the paint came from a hobby shop. It's that Tamiya stuff. I'm sure the plastic interior paints would work just as well if not better.

or just black water?

Where the updates yo I was following this thread with interest.
Dr please do some justice. 😂

updates?

What happened with the motor?
Power ?
Who built it?

lol, guys.. seriously look at dates.. this thread now 4 years old.. lot of the peeps in the thread are not even active on the forum anymore..

Joh, what a old thread!

Im still to see a NA SR20DE or VE motor with throttles make more than 170kw, usually they all sit at 150kw-`160kw. Most guys dont understand that you need to bump up the compression to make some good power, especially if you are running ITB!

My SR20DE is making 190kw NA with ITB, but is past the point of pump fuel, race fuel is all it runs on now.
