3sge Beams pistons thrown in when I had an otherwise standard rebuild done on her (purchased for $100 brand new) to give 7.0:1 compression. Currently running 15psi boost.

Holley carb mods done as per readily avialable hangar18 website.

can u do this for me :D

[nme308]

Haha, I'm on the exact opposite side of the country if you're in WA mate!

 

List of parts to perform operation is not too large:

 

SR20 turbo and exhaust manifold - can be had for beer these days!

A couple of carb spacers/adapters to take the standard 2 barrel manifold out to Holley 4 barrel.

650 double pumper holley with A-hung float bowls.

Some left over exhaust bends.

An old school 4 barrel carb gas hat.

A sack of leftover hose, hose clamps, and brass fittings.

A 2nd hand ecu or msd btm for spark control.

Throw in an el cheapo ebay diaphram blow off valve. Needs diaphram so it can be open under manifold vacuum and sealed under boost.

 

Obviously this can be done rather cheaper than not if you have access to welder and basic shed tools or can call in favours!

 

Cheers,

Jason

haha u are a legend in my eyes right now

and i just started working again and there is a nissan wrecker up the road this may be a good time for this knowledge

[nme308]

Oh yeah, I did briefly mention the 3sge beams pistons, however 3sgte, 1jzgte, 2jzgte, and certain 4g63 pistons with 22mm gudgeon pins (I think 22mm is the size...) will all fit and give a nice low compression ratio. Of course custom forged are available too!

 

The nissan SR20 exhaust manifold is obviously topmounted with a homemade adapter out of 12mm plate steel. An aftermarket topmount SR20 manifold would be able to be fitted without the adapter as the front and rear bolts line up and the rest are a simple file job in between the SR mount holes for correct fitment. The 3tc port spacing is identical to SR20.

 

I'll add anything else if I think of it...

 

Cheers,

Jason
