Hey guys. I have done a few car and engine builds. I have had 2 '67 Camaros, 1 '70 Camaro, and a '69 Burb.
None of them were ever show quality or complete.
Here is something completely different from what i have had in the past and probable different from what any of you guys have.
This is my 1990 Nissan 180sx. For those of you guys that don't know, The Nissan 240sx was brought to the US with a non-turbo 2.4L truck motor. The Nissan that they kept in Japan was a turbo 1.8L motor and later a 2.0L motor called the sr20det. They never brought this motor to the US. They were the work horse for Nissan and was used in several of their vehicles. Later some import Gear Heads started importing these to the US.

So, here is my 2.0L sr20det motor before I rebuilt it.

Here is the rebuilt heads with Stainless Steele valves, Titanium Retainers and springs.

Here is my rebuilt block with JE pistons and Eagle rods.

Upgraded turbo gt2871r with tubular exhaust.

Finally my complete engine with "Crinkle Red" valve covers. This engine was tuned on a Mustang Dyno and put down 388 HP at the rear wheels. The motor is in a 2600 lb car.
