Tuesday
Was straight on the case preparing the SR20 to go in... took the manifold heatshield off to find that in the past some Dicked had snapped a Mani stud.. I'm not one to bodge so that had to be rectified, Drilled and removed using modified Easy-Out.
Got the mani off and removed Lambda ready to fit to Tom's Toyosport header
Looped the fuel lines not needed by the SR20, and removed the carbon canister:
Slotting the SR into place...
Bling!!
BUT IT DIDN'T FECKING FIT!! (outside 2 cylinders bolt spacing was too close to the centre...)
That was modified anyway, and the bungs & Lambda were sealed in...
Fitted:
Bay nearly done at the end of the day...
SHE STARTED FIRST TIME

The engine swap... Yeahh thats minor now, 6 bolts and the slag's dropped out y0.
As for fitting that B@$¥@&d Toyosports manifold.... Well....
I sent an email to the ebay seller to see if he will send me some free shit y0! So I am going to benefit even more from your hard work lol. Hope the gangsta wad made the toyosports worth it lol
