I'm now waiting on an SR20 and Z32 box to arrive :D

Could you take a pic of the firewall clearence you have. And possibly some showing better the sump clearence to the steering rack.

Amazing work. Any thoughts of selling engine mounts?

yeah im interested to see what you do for your ebrake setup.
Other than that! Swap looks good, car looks good.
Cant wait to see startup vids

Just doing a CNC hydro for now... Hopefully going to do a second caliper for it in the future.

It looks like the motor is sitting pretty far forward in the engine bay. Even with how lightweight the sr20 is, wouldn't it be better to get it closer to the firewall? I'm not well versed in the overall weight balance of the verts so I could be way off. Either way I'm really enjoying the build.

I thought I posted a picture showing it, but I guess not. The motor is within an inch of the firewall, it's as far back as it can go really. Any further and the shifter would come nowhere near the stock hole (it doesn't line up as is and has to be cut), and you'd have to work out something for oil pan and steering rack clearance:



It could have gone maybe a 1/2 or 1/4 inch back, but I may switch to a Moroso oil pan soon, so I wanted a little extra clearance.

Some more work... Intercooler piping is just about mocked up, and test-fitted the plastic bumper on the front, so happy to be rid of the diving board.



Just hangin out

nice work going on here, the cage gusets are awsome,

SR's are the bomb!, if you could post some pics of the exhaust dump off the the turbo and the e30 steering shaft clearence when u get to that point that would be awsome.


dont be afraid to be a pic whore on this swap prettty please !

The exhaust is probably still the biggest question here, we're looking into other options for the steering knuckle to give some more clearance. I'll keep the thread updated.
