Willdat? 4,474 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Interesting project, there was a white one of these with pale blue airbrushing with SR20DET in Dunedin in the early 00s on Enkei Tarmac Evos. Looked like a death trap! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vk304 700 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 It probably is, I just found it funny so I got the first one and now it's just turned into this, probably not the safest choice no , I've seen a few rotary ones , probably worse of a deathtrap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegreatestben 2,717 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 My parents had vanettes when I was a kid. Dad had a c20 and mum carted us kids around in one like the silver one. sr20det in either is great! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighLUX 33,255 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Vans with engine conversions are great I still regret selling my Townace with a 3sge swap 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vk304 700 Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 I've had a couple bongos before but I diddnt even know what a c22 van was untill now, only ever seen the bongos and serena's and econovan hiace (pre 90 and 90s) no c20 or c22, so it's cool to have one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vk304 700 Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Yea 3sge would have been a nice motor for a van Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighLUX 33,255 Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Tbh is lacked the torque to drive normally in such a heavy but small van it was great for doing redline doooorts or driving on the limit of van handling abilities Got a few confused looks when I could beat altezzas or integras in a traffic light drag 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Otodat 243 Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Oh man, cool project. Will be watching with interest. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.craw4d 6,181 Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 @Willdat? I remember that van, wonder what happened to it. @Vk304 I realize you've probably already sorted the intake but would an s13 sr20 intake have fitted? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vk304 700 Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Yea I did think that, but I've heard the bolt pattern/port holes are different? Plus couldn't find one 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Otodat 243 Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 That a12 block would explain the gutlessness on the hills you talked about, shame it’s not a15 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vk304 700 Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Yea can't go wrong with mitre10 haha I go through a few , maybe I think that was more the throttle was only half opening with pedal to the floor... could be that too I guess, either way its gonna fly up hills soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vk327 355 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 tech post about changing the primary input resistor on the tacho input to the cluster, the sr will have a low voltage tacho drive and the tacho is expecting a coil negative collapsing voltage pulse, this modo should get your tacho working, done it to my VK from link g4 output and a corona with 3sge beams ecu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Otodat 243 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Well done on getting this going so quickly, can't imagine how nuts it is with that engine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vk304 700 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 @Otodatthanks, it's fun to drive and gets some confused looks haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vk304 700 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Thanks @vk327!! I need to do that, that info can be so hard to find, in my vk I just spliced the whole vt cluster in, all works except fuel and temp, no bcm, not sure why the fuel doesn't work properly, it has vt sender in the tank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vk327 355 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 il chech the wiring info iv got for the vt cluster, fuel input should just be a hardwired input, does the level sender have its ground wired? I think they were 2 wire from memory Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vk304 700 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Yea I might have to drop the tank and check it sometime its possible the sender isn't at the right level , it reads half full at all times, probably when drop the diff and put my lsd in. Thanks ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
