hey all, aint posted on here in a while so some update info

got the old GA14 out and dropped in an SR20 from the Almera GTi/Primera GT....etc 140bhp

got the engine in and running within 14 hours! gazeebo up at 6am started work at 7am and crack on through to 9pm

bled the brakes on the sunday...

boy does it shift, even if it is down on compression! 3rd gear, foot to the floor... oh yea!

just about keeps up with robs gti... with same mods

got an SS Autochrome 4-2-1 and downpipe with an Autech exhaust system (comes as standard from the Autech tuned Pulsar) Autech are basicly like Brabus/Overfinch etc

next on the to do list is:

- buy a bloody lambda sensor, currently sounds like a big V8, lambda sensor should cure the problem
- fit short shift kit
- get paid
- buy new rubber (Toyo Proxes or Yoko Parada Spec 2's) for my VAG G60's
- fit G60's
- drop the front a bit more... too high for my liking lmao
- get paid/bank job hehe
- nismo fpr
- JWT highlift cams
- Dastek Piggyback ECU
- get some balls and lift the 40grit and go mental... or some more nitromors

got the car dyno'd at AI Autosport yesterday

pretty happy with the results seeing as its low on compression

any ideas how to get the torque figures back up?

can i ask though, why didnt u just start with an almera GTi as a base platform and work from there? they are cheap 1-2k for a decent one, saves buying an sr20 and spending 14 hours fitting it!
 
for torque, have u played with the igntion timing? on my primera GT i got a timing light and advanced the ign to like 19" (stock 15) and ran only on super. i had an SSAC mani and also a SS powerflow catback!

incidently i have a PC link cable and softwarefor the ecu interface so u can measure things and set to timing mode (for sale cheaply). and i also have a nismo oil filter cap (genune imported from the USA), for sale also. as i have sold the pirmera long since.

how much for the software and cable?
 
I know this car through kieranV I'm sure. The bonnet was rat look gone slightly different as it was galvanised?

I quite like it for what it is. I want to get myself a primera or an almera gti in January!
 
yikes! i paid £2.5 for a V reg primera GT Limited edition with 50k on the clock (full leathers) in excellent conidition with SR20 already built in!!!! and that was 4-5 years ago now:/

prob £25 for the cable etc! no idea what i did with the software but ill try to find it. its called like datascan or something.

yea datascan! thats the one, think you can download it, IIRC! :S

well the gti was in bad shape, rotting, rusting, chassis rails were fubard, went to the dogs tbh

the sr20 was putting out 189bhp with dastek piggyback ecu, jwt s3 cams, nismo fpr, hks cold air induction kit

guy i got it off sold the cams, fpr, and kept the piggyback ecu and stuck it onto his autech pulsar which is now putting out 170+ i think
 
I was going to take the mick but the ore I read the more I liked. Plus your car is my ones younger brother thus we are siblings :D

Now I want to do an SR20 swap in mine, any links to good info, possibilities, and recommendations ?

ah right, is that anything to do with Rowdy GTi at all? i remmber he had a pretty track smart almera from back in the day!

but yea apart from that good luck and keep promoting the almera. i tried on this foruma while ago, but they had non of it, despite me posting links to several reviews that stated that the car was infact a much overlooked gem with decent potential.

ah well.
