How the f**k did I miss this thread!?
Man, that just gave me renewed hope about how the eyelids will look when I do mine. Definitely doing it now.
Perfect height too!
Nick, I thought that Silver would have looked great on yours

So here's an update
originally it had a 1.6 ten i put a pretty hot 1.8 in it with a few mods and some down draught webbers on it, it went alright was a bit of fun, for when i was on my P plates.
ive now acquired my full licence and its time for a little more power and boost.
i contemplated going turbo g series but i felt it was really worth my time. its an N/A motor never ment for boost being boosted. something will go wrong and they are fairly limited to their power (which is a shame)
but the sr is built standard with boost and is pretty much a bolt in conversion
just swap the engine mounts and she bolts straight in!
not really. im just f*#cking with all you noobs
so i started this conversion about 3 weeks ago pretty much
its not easy
its incredibly hard and lots of standing and laying underneath the car thinking is had.
annnyways i have this week and the next to finish it as everything is closed til after summernats
which is the aim to get there and get a bit more power on the dyno then 69HP haha
soooo this is where i started
i cant exactly find the engine bay shot but whatever its a g series thing
so then andy and i pulled the g series engine out
then i bolted up the gearbox whilst andy supervised
made sure i didnt hurt myself and stuff
then another mate and i did this
then we worked out the flat floor tx mounts do NOT work
so we cut them out and she slid in nicely
buuuut the intake manifold fouled on the brake booster
if i wanted to sit it high it would of been fine but bonnet scoops bumps are just plain f*#cking gay
thats why jonno loves them
the reason it fouled is because the inlet manifolds plenum is underneath instead of on top of the manifold
sooooo 200 bucks later on ebay i bought a pretty shiny greddy style one which should do the trick nicely
so today we made the new gearbox crossmember and bolted it all up
just needs the plates welded in and bobs your uncle not moving
i dont have a picture of it in atm but when its done il post s*#t tones of pictures of all the mounts and crap
and yes ofc SKIDS
so heres the engine in where i want it and the bonnet closes
so yeah
and heres a picture of my wiring
im pretty much done just need to get the loom inside then i can connect everything up and start it
soo yeah
pretty much where im upto
mounts get fully made and done NEXT weekend the hopefully exhaust gets made monday week tailshaft hopefully this week then order my intercooler and get that s*#t sorted also before two weeks haha
any questions hook i more then likely have forgotten something
cheers

Ok so I haven't updated this since I was in the middle of doing it and I had been lazy and I smashed my phone had no Internet for the last month etc etc
But anyways I finished it, got it done before New Years took it for a quick test run down the street after I had dropped it Nd had the interior done, took it home. Packed my s*#t up and left for Canberra the next day
I left about midday as. Had been up 38hours straight getting it done so I could get to Canberra to solve jonnos boredom
But I drove it down only had to stop a couple times for quick repairs for hoses blowing off and stuff
I drove down with one gauge, the fuel
I had no radio no speedo to temp no boost nothing
But without the radio I found a lot of vibrations that I'm getting sorted
But yes down there for New Years then after kaining it in Canberra for a few days it was summernats
Had an absolute ball
Didn't get kicked out this year which is a positive
Got yelled a lot to take it home because it was stock. Didn't last long ounce it was on boost
I threw it on the dyno and it managed 209hp on 10psi
Not bad considering the turbo gasket was pretty much non existent and the O2 sensor didn't exist haha
I have plenty of pictures just need to upload them
Can see most of them at elite Gemini owners on fb if you can't wait
Any questions hook in, il try answer them
And since I've put it in its been my daily and I've been to Canberra and back twice
