Heretics SR20VE Chevron Project

[Heretic]

Ok, so I went a bit midlife crisses and bought an old mans car, but guess what else I bought for it! Try an S14 bottom end and a complete SR20VE!!! Bow before me at the awsomeness of a 600kg rwd with a 190hp NA engine!

The donor car:




Ok, so I actually bought a bare S14 engine as well, so I got some spares, but looks like I need to brush up my knowledge on putting the VE head on the S14 block!

cool as so when is the unveiling of the nissan powered beast?

[Heretic]

It gets dropped of this weekend, and I'm doing a road trip this Sunday to pick up the engine hopefully, but won't know when I am transplanting the engine until its set up for RWD and mated to a gearbox

[SIR GTI-R]

Good stuff mate i still think you should finish the Zed before starting another project tho lol

[TORUKU]

Nice project... would be fun to drive once its done

[evldan]

Cool, I was wanting to do something similar in the future (like midlife crisis future )..just last week I was dreaming of an SR20VE in a Fraser Clubman S

[Mr Smith]

Cool project carl

Should be fairly quick with the SR!

[mungyz]

Carl you know if you want the Chevron to look like that you just have to come see me for a little tinkering
If you have the money I have the time - soon to have a TIG welder as well!

Just pored a slab of concrete under the house (2m by 2m yesterday,same again today =2m by 4m area) to add to the storage room so now there will be less stuff in the garage = can do more work!!

Go on don't piss about VQ35 engine or go home! A jap/NZ version of the Shelby Cobra

I might need some help with mounting the VE FWD head onto the DE RWD block if you are keen - I have found out an easy way to supply the oil to the VVL gallery in the head

[SIR GTI-R]

was that what i said the other day

[Heretic]

Possibly, but I've found a forum with a bunch of pictures of how this 1 guy did it - talk about easy!

[knate]

hmm when you get to swapping the head, i might be keen on the rwd head if you're going to sell it. let me know, and good luck with your project. .

I need to earn money or I will have to go get a job

So yeah I am keen as to help at my standard very low hourly rate

LETS PAINT IT!!! That orange one looks cool - the green just doesn't do it for me I'm afraid.

[Heretic]

I want it red with white racing stripes (there is a caterham theme I like) - the green doesn't do it for me either! Ok, just gotta get a couple of flatmates, then its all yours Glen!

As for the S14 head Knate, yeah, could be a go-er - I just want to keep it for mock up purposes for a bit, then its all yours

[Heretic]

Its arrived, and by god is it quick, even with the carby engine
