Tortrons it's old school now wingroad

[tortron]

Correct radiator for this will be a p10 primera. It's the same as the ga15 wingroad in dimensions and style, but it has the 35mm hose outlets for the bigger SR hoses. 

 

There's one at the wreckers, old but in good cond. But I'd rather pay another $50 and get a new one

Good choice. I only have regrets from wrecker radiators.

Here's the crossmember out of a p10 sr18 primera

 

[tortron]

And here it is in the car

Even the bolts for the plasticpanels line up. Perfect 

 

 

[tortron]

I took the rhs engine mount out of a h11 presea

It is the correct type. 

However I will also need the bracket/plate it bolts to on the engine as the bluebird one is different again. Maybe someone has an Sr20 dead on their floor? Be easier to take it off an engine not in the car, bit of a pain at the wreckers as it slumps over when you pull the mount 

 

Basically I chose a bad donor, but it was a great car to drive till the wof ran out and there was nothing cheaper, so I might have to buy a blown facebork hustle engine for a few bits

Are you sorted for flywheel etc? I believe this setup collecting rust in my shed is to suit sr20.

 

The Original plan was to mod it to fit between Evo motor and 370z gearbox, but Nissan rb26 made way more sense once I found out it shared the same crank pcd as early 6 bolt 4g63

How many spline is the clutch? 

All fwd sr20s (not 4wd/det. 4wd is same, larger, diam as rwd) have same diam flywheel, but if I change boxes I'd need a different clutch and pressure plate

[mjrstar]

Looks to be 24 spline.

 

Pressure plate part no is nsc624

[tortron]

I think that's for rwd

 

Bluebird one is 215mm diam, 24 spline,  25.4mm spline diam

Somethung with a 32a box would have 215mm diam, 18 spline, 20.5 spline diam

Stock RWD SR20 clutches utilize a 240mm diameter, 24 spline clutch disc with a 25.6mm diameter sprung hub.

 

 

I believe I wouldn't physically fit on the fwd flywheel

 

[tortron]

This is the bracket I need to swap for the engine mount. 

There should be about 70mm centre to centre on those top end bolt holes, with the centre one being about 37mm taller. 

This bluebird one is wider and taller

 

[mjrstar]

OD of the clutch face area is 220mm, centre bore of clutch disc is close to 25.6mm

[tortron]

I think it won't work for me, I will probably use an 18 spline box

[RUNAMUCK]

Fun fact,

SR20 primera clutch disc is 200mm, and uses the exact same spline as an A series datsun.

Correct engine mount bracket on right vs bluebird one on left

Fuck what a mission to do this

The strip of concrete in front of the shed is just deep enough to fit the crane on, so I had to push the car back and forth into position, then drag the crane sideways to get the engine in the right spot and angle. 

Doesnt go in (from the top) with box on. So pulled that oily mess off. 

Eventually got it into almost position only for the hoist to shit itself and not pump, so much dragging and levering the engine to try get it to line up with any of the mounts. 

Conked my forehead perfectly on the arm pin, so I beat the cylinder with the handle while calling its lineage into questio, and it started pumping again, and then it all fell into place nicely. 

 

To sum up

Fuck oily cars, I'm so greasy now

Fuck nissans

Fuck hydraulics

Fuck the haters, I have an Sr20 wingroad booooiiiiiii

 

At least now I can push the car back onto the driveway and have lots of hoist room

That's taken a beating.

Had a brief look at the wiring. If you have a Ga16 sentra and you get the correct Sr20 donor, you can just plug everything in. 

 

In my case that is very much no. Not sure if it's because ga15, but I think really its because of what I'm calling "big nissan" donor. 

Not a huge issue in my case, I expected as much, and even more so it doesn't really matter because I'm putting the haltec in it. 

I might check out some other SR nissans to see what their loom does, as it might be worth it to change a section of the loom to the correct type for in cabin plugs. 

 

 

First up was the alternator sub loom. Bluebird has the same plugs on the alternator and aircon pump, but car side is different. Unwrap the bluebird alternator loom section, as it is partially connected to the rest of the engine loom. Unpin the yellow with red stripe and the white wire from the grey 8 pin plug. Can now seperate the bluebird alt sub loom

 

Ga15 alternator loom is already fully seperate, so just have to unclip it and attach it to the Sr20 alternator (80amp vs the ga's 70amp) 

 

The loom clip thing needs to be moved a little, so the wires aren't too strained

 

Otherwise that's it

The ga actually uses much heavier wiring for this too, also sr has 2 power feed wires coming off the alt. mildly interesting
