kori's 240 build

i never said it was about horsepower at all ryan. I know i talk down on SR's a lot just because i am not a fan. I know quite a bit of Sick ass SR's around. Im just replyin to the post stating WI ppl dream and IL ppl do. Just stating that my motor swap cost 4 times what a SR swap would. Ive been to drift events before but it was 3 years ago in my maroon coupe KA-t setup. I planned on takin my car to Road america a couple times this summer but im puttin a hault on that till my RHD conversion done with roll cage and a new set of coils. I woulda had all my suspension done this past 2 weeks but i decided to move out instead so money is a little tight right now until i get my new job

kyle, whos puttin a RB in?? And why wasnt i notified? lol whoever it is if you need help im your man. I got more RB parts and knowledge comin out of my ass than any one person should

BUT we are gettin totally off topic in her build thread. So lets get back on track

You want to use that 26 trans? Your nuts dude. That thing weighs roughly a billion pounds. Plus its a bitch to replace if you have to.

My asking price is more than reasonable for the z32 trans I have.

Evan

lol I was talking about Kori's when she gets it

pm sent.

its heavy as hell if u dont take off the transfer case and all the bullshit. Once thats stripped off its the same weight as the Rb25 trans according to ppl ive talked to that have done it on nico. I know your z32 trans price is amazing and she will more than likely end up buyin it off ya. I just want to see if i can modify the AWD trans and make it work.

kyle, i thougth u were sayin RYan was swappin in a RB lol the way you worded it

Ben, I am not saying it cannot be done.... I have seen it done actually. I never pulled the tail housing off of my AWD trans to check it out. I sold it to full race actually.

That trans with transfer case weighs about 200 pounds!

Evan

hell yeah that thing is heavy as fuck with the transfer case. when i helped a buddy move some of his RB stuff from one shop to another he had a AWD trans there and hes like pick that thing up for me. Could barely move the thing myself lol that transfer case has to weigh at least 100 lbs

I was never an SR fan either. thats why I built a CA18 and a KA-turbo before I decided to get one. now i'll never go back. I used to talk down on SR's as much as the next KA-T fanboy. but now I know better.

ive just had bad experiences helpin friends fix SR's so ive grown to dislike them. my RB has never broke on me *knock on wood* ill never go with another series motor

yeah i decided ill let ben try to fuck with it but when it doesnt work (no offense ben lol) ill be buying that off you evan.

as for the WI vs IL.. us WI people will have the faster cars. I dont care if they see the track or not on a regular basis we still have them and i sure as hell am going to daily drive the RB so it'll get full use out of it on top of going to track...

weird people and their need to have fast cars. different strokes i guess.

damn street racers

i wouldnt say cuz u want ot have a fast car makes you a street racer? if thats the case every 60yr old guy with a midlife crisis that bought a Z06 is a street racer?

ok fine.

damn car racers.

yeah i'll race people? Doesnt mean i cant also drift the car.. Why not be able to do drag, drift, and autox....

im confused on your point of damn car racers?

i would not expect you to understand. do not trouble yourself

ok?

I'll take it as you have no point.

since when does ryan have a point to any of his posts? no offense ryan

ohhh snap

ordered my mishimoto radiator last night.. then laptop died lol so ordering the FMIC/piping today.

Kori what I/C plumbing do you plan on using? I chopped up an SR kit and it fits pretty well.

I was looking at an SR kit actually.. was going to do some research to see if it works lol.. i guess you confirmed my thinking, so probably with the SR kit.

I had to do some cutting and have it re welded. IMO don't order any I/C plumbing until the motor is in the car. Your welcome to see mine to see if it will work.

Evan

Well i own an Arc welder so the re-welding wouldnt be an issue...

Got any pics of yours, you can PM then if you dont wanna post em up..

Why wait to order it? I was aiming for having everything at once to put on..

or just get your shit custom made...

it would be custom made... by me lol.. i havent ordered any of the fmic kit shit because havent decided what im going with.
