well had a bit of a setback with engineering the sr esky. it passed all the performance tests no worries but failed emissions.
its a non turbo sr thats been converted. runs a fuel only ecu and we were having issues tuning it. basically it needed a new ecu or that engine wouldn't pass.
with the engine being unknown condition (was told it lacked maintenance when i bought it) i had some thinking to do.
ended up finding a new SR20 engine to fit in for a good price. only done 20 thousand odd klms and came with loom and stock ecu. its a s15 sr too which is a later model. has variable valve timing on the inlet and bigger turbo than the older models.
next the fun began
scott powered haha.
new motor going in. ready to drop in. only had to swap the sumps over.
biggest job is re doing the wiring. the old loom was very messy and not nice at all. lucky for me the old man is good with that stuff so is cleaning it all up. should be nice and easy when its done.
how it sits at the moment
small ford show in sa is on at the end of feb. i want to have both the esky running again by then. here is hoping :)
