SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Well, the gods were in my corner yesterday! After attempting to back out a broken exhaust manny stud, I broke an easy out off in the stud. FUUUUUUUUUUU So I found myself running around all day looking for a carbide bit. I finally found one in the Dremel isle had to spend $$$ on Dremel and other stuff Uggg So I went home to start my journey not knowing if it would work. Well. afer 45 minutes of pecking at the broken bit, I finally chipped it out enough to get another easy out in there. And it came out!!! Whoo Hoo!! So I went ahead and replaced ALL of my studs! Now my exhaust manny is on! Quote Link to comment
peanutbuttercups Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Mmmmmmmmm. Love this motor. It's Murphy's law when building a motor, it's getting there. Good job. If it's any help I can't even get the bed off my truck (rusty bolts) but there coming off!!! Quote Link to comment

peanutbuttercups Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yep Murphy's a fucker!!!!! Yesterday I saw a chicken get run over with a polaris. And my son got stung by a wasp today. No time to work on the DATTO. Please it'll fight you but your gonna win. I've only seen an sr20 Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Crap, hope your son is ok. Believe it or not, I've never been stung before. Sheeze, I bet Murphy would step in there too and I find out I am allergic to them! What do you mean "I've only seen an SR20?" Quote Link to comment

SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thanks man. I grew up in the back seat of a Datsun and have nothing but happy memories of it. I wish I were more into Datsuns as I grew up but I was more interested in Rock-n-Roll and Girls, Not necessarily in that order.. hahaha 1 Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Even more parts. Almost ready to install my Surge Tank. I just need to figure out the wiring for the 2nd Fuel Pump... Some Fittings for my Filter and Fuel Lines.... Still waiting on a few more that were on back order.... A Dual Fan Control with built in 50amp Relays and breaker switches.... (Got a free hat too! About time something was free! HAHAHA) Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Let me know how that fan control works when you get it running, Kragen crap is well.... Crap lol 1 Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 You know I will. Flex-a-Lite has a simple one for 35 with a push in probe. But I have 2 HO (high output) fans that need the relays and breakers. Plus this one can be set at any temp between 140-250F and the 2nd fan turns on 10 degrees higher.... It uses a temp sensor that I screw onto the block or radiator.$125 but it's all self contained. Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 are you running dual 12" fans? The guys at Ron Davis told me that one 12" fan is more efficient than dual 10" fans. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 2 slim 12" fans... 1 Quote Link to comment

SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I have a buddy coming on Sat to help. I have 2 SR's and 2 engine stands but no cherry picker. So I couldn't go any further till I can get a hoist. So he is bringing a hoist. My new SR is still on it's shipping stand and the other is on a 4 wheel engine stand. I needed to Transfer the stripped long block to the 3 wheeled stand and them transfer the New SR to the 4 wheel stand. No way am I trusting a cheap 3 wheel stand to hold an $11k Motor! Just ain't happening..... Then I have to install the upper and lower oil pan. Ater that, there are just a few other things like the alternator and belt then motor is finished. I will install the CAS, VC and plugs after initial motor priming. After the motor is installed, I will then crank the motor without VC, plugs OR CAS to check Oil pressure and such. Then I will install CAS, VC and plugs and the fire her up! And I will be taking vids to commemorate this joyous event! Lol 2 Quote Link to comment
