BluDestiny Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 This project is still alive. Dropped the motor to be assembled at Touge Factory in Chicago, was told the head was damaged by Mazworks (used the wrong type of material when machining the valve seats). They helped find me a new sr20 long block, which I also needed the crank from (and misc. accessories/brackets) and they kept the short block while I got the head. Dropped it off in February, but due to issues in getting parts they have just now finally gotten the motor together (still waiting on lash pads). They are just not getting into fabbing the mounts, and will be doing a complete rewire for a standalone system. My car was dropped off in early June, when the main tech working on my car quit. Big plans are it now has solid lifters, will be using an AEM EMS (instead of my haltech), and will be redoing the fuel system for e85. Block is good for 500hp, and the shop says there should be no issues hitting at least 400hp. So that's where it sits now. My subaru is still my dd, but on a stage 2 protune. I will probably be going e85 on that as soon as I can get a clutch/flywheel combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluDestiny Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Its done. Drove it back last Friday. This thing is a beast. Still needs an exhaust though, so that will be one of my first steps. Edited January 18, 2017 by BluDestiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Brilliant and yet no interest, pfft, looks like you did a really good job here but apparently not fast and furious lol. Seriously, I can see lots of nice detail so bloody well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluDestiny Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 First shakedown event of the year. I think my new fuel pump is dying due to be under utilized since I'm not on E85 yet. Other than that the car ran flawlessly, needs an alignment and larger wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dled Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Going to buy my first 280zx this weekend so I have been hitting the forums hard. This thread is awesome I bookmarked it. I owned a 240sx sr swapped prior to this. Awesome to see the thread still going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Yeah it's been slow going because winter sucks and I haven't actually been doing the work on this car, the shop has. But most of the stuff from now on will be me. I just want to make sure it works and doesn't blow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dled Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I know what ya mean. It has been raining damn near everyday for a while now here in Ohio. I am supposed to be picking the car up this weekend. I plan on trying to get the s13 coilover swap done first. I will be watching the thread for updates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluDestiny Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Well this entire thread is screwed, so much for that. Thanks Photobucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tube80z Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Yeah, photobucket seems to have screwed almost all the car threads and other forums I view. It's understandable but it would have been nice if there was an easy way to migrate but then they couldn't hold people's pictures hostage.

BluDestiny Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 So it seems photobucket has decided to not suck anymore. Imagine that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
