N16 SR20DET conversion

You have no idea!

Anyone know if this has been done properly to an N16 yet? It has been 3 years, lol.

I'll keep you posted.
 
Yeah it was done to some guys N16, Stone something? Anyway he put it up for sale, on ebay. Met a guy to test drive it, the guy drove off and the thing was never seen again!
So yeah, all the best with your conversion lol

that sucks man
 
Thank fuck the ball is rolling. Maximum respect for sticking with it. Make it a sleeper mate. 100% stealth. Make people think it died and you bought a standard one.

Yeah, I know that one, stone2loud. I was being a bit more 'in depth' with my transplant. Hopefully all the power will at least reach the wheels before torque steering me into a bush, lol. Lot's of work going into the gearbox, lsd, shafts and that (dave bull knows what i mean, i'm sure!)

Lol, cheers mate. Remember we're not there yet. Clock starts ticking again in the new year. We'll be done for Japfest! (funny, original deadline was Japfest '05!)
Also, dunno about stealth mate, you seen the intercooler? lol.

Lol, dunno yet chap! Nah, one engine mount needs fabricating I think, other than that it's pretty straightforward. You'll know as soon as I do mate.
 
spray the intercooler black and put black mesh on the front or use a Phase 2 front and rear bumper :)

lol mate I thorght you already finished the transplant

hope it goes all well

thanks
 
Well well well Robbo nice to see there's at least some folks on here plugging the N16 tuning scene!!

Definately interested in seeing how this turns out - tried selling my car locally twice and no luck so looks like i'll be keeping it for a while so would be interesting to see how this happens as one day maybe the gearbox might just go again lol

Like i said right at the top of this page - no quality like perseverance!!! Is it still gonna be 4WD or is it gonna be FWD just to get the project completed?
 
Lol, yeah my chavvy shite lights went somewhere about two years ago!

It's FWD, not by choice, i'm taking whatever i can get at the mo!
 
I don't think there would be any sort of clogging problem if you painted an intercooler carefully, but remember that a black finish absorbs light opposed to reflecting it, and therefore also absorbs heat.. So I'm not sure if that would have am adverse effect on the cooling effect of the intercooler.
 
would black mesh not suffice in covering it up anyway?

I don't think i'd bother though to be honest :)

Very nice work by the way, keep us posted!
 
Lads, i'm not spraying a HKS intercooler black, lol.
Maybe if it didn't cost me my limbs i'd consider it! I think you'll understand if i just get the bastard on the road first? I'm not getting my hopes up until i see some serious progress first.
 
the only thing i would be concerned about is that if the garage are being forced to work on it that they will do a bodge job on it, fingers crossed they dont
