I know how that feels… been waiting 5 weeks for my car… it sat at the shop the first 2 weeks until I started bitching at them to hurry it up, and stopping in every few days to see what they’ve done… that seemed to work. Dave… need O2 sensor! :shock: haha thanks 😉 Jeff ---

You’re not the first to have shitty luck with the SR motors my friend. I think I top the cake with mine though. Seized turbo Fried ECU, new one was fried again, then the next was for an S14, and then they were out of stock. Rad hose filled with saw-dust CAS broken off Turbo hot pipe outlet cracked clutch/flywheel done Missing Ignitor chip Missing Air flow sensor I can’t even remember half of the other shit that came on it broken or missing But good luck with it. Remember that you will be limited to low boost because of your fuel situation. ---

Welcome to the world of modifying cars. The prices always go up, and you’re always waiting for parts. It’s a never ending battle with the mod gods. 😉 The internals should be good for the 400 - 450whp mark. Although this number is usually done with some good tuning and all the precautions needed to get there etc. Just make sure the engine is healthy, and you don’t cut corners. Cutting corners is cheaper, but MAY cost more in the long run when shit breaks. Good luck. ---

my sr story is another sad sad tale: It came without ecu/tranny/ignitor chip/wiring harness. I got all the parts eventually, just 6 months late - Im glad it all took place over winter. The only thing I didn’t get was the wiring harness. I had to source my own, and payed $600 for it. It was kinda funny, the ECU that origionally came with my car was for a front weel drive, non-turbo, automatic sr20de, the complete opposite of what my car is! ---
