PandaStar Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 This should be interesting for me and anyone who follows along.. Warning this is a budget/sloooow build with lots of driving inbetween :) and I will be asking for suggestions for the build. here is the current shape of the 620 Quote Link to comment
datrat77 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 depending on your location you can start pulling emissions junk and throw it in the bed with the rest of the scrap. Whats that switch near the fuze box do? Quote Link to comment

Looks like standard height to me. Where at in NC? I have a couple sets of rims. Performance wise... It's got the f'd up w58 smog head. Ultra tiny (compared to earlier) steel sleeved exhaust ports. Find a better head for it. Getting more power from that engine is all about making it breathe! Good carb and exhaust. Stock hitachi carb can be a bitch. Webers are a good upgrade that can use the stock manifold. Also several single and dual sidedraft carb conversions possible. Browse the forums and find something you like. I'm currently working on mechanical injection for mine. And find a nice 5 speed. Better performance and mpg than the auto. Quote Link to comment

I been looking at the SR20Det installations, would that be a better idea? Just ditch the current engine and put the SR and a five speed? Oh and the current engine is in need of rings it smokes like a washed up hooker. Quote Link to comment
datrat77 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 :lol: just remember to stay outta the classifieds Ollz I don't know if you saw the thread but the op was tweakin. I was antagonized! Speaking of which we're gumming up this mans build thread Anyways. Is this thing running and driving? Whats the odometer have on it? Ok see that post now. That would be a great swap. I'm sure it's been done and documented here. Also Z22-24 etc and KA engines. It smokes even after it's warmed up? bummer. Full rebuild on that L20B will run about 350$ in parts. Can find a swap for that if you look hard enough. heres cars with sr20de (just add turbo) 180SX1991–1992, 1994–1997200SX SE-R1995–1998Almera1996–1999Avenir1990, 1992–1995, 1997–2001Bluebird1989, 1991–1993, 1995–1998Liberty1998–2000Infiniti G201991–2002NX20001991–1996Prairie Joy1995–1997Presea1990–1993, 1995, 1997–1998Primera1990–2002Pulsar1991–2000R'nessa1997–1998, 2000Rasheen1998Sentra1991–1994, 1998–2001Serena1991–1995, 1997–2000Silvia1991–1993 1995-1996, 1998–2002Wingroad1996–1999v Quote Link to comment

PandaStar Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 can someone tell me if those seats are factory or someone put them in? Quote Link to comment
Ratadat Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Interested to see how this build goes. Especially if you decide on the sr20det. As for the seats they don't look factory. They are different from mine anyways. Quote Link to comment
