sano86323's GTR swap

[sano86323]

Nice find man, and in GA even better! haha Just curious but what axles are you using?

I also may be interested in some goodies off of your gt, particularly the rear disc assembly. Let me know.

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised to see how many members we have in GA (especially two being in Warner Robins, what are the odds?) I'm using refurbed ones from the 88 323 gt turbo.

Sorry, I'd be using the rear disc myself(f*** drums) however the stupid kid that owned it bent the lateral link through bolt in the hub spindle on one and the other he drove it until the f***ing rotor broke.... (if you want a pic I can take one lol)

**** well if you arnt using the RHD stuff you should try selling it on here, i would def pick it up, but im sure it wouldnt work with a escort

if i had a 323 id buy it from you in a heart beat

Unfortunately, me not thinking let my brother haul the clip off for scrap with the RHD stuff......

looks awesome! you should definitely sell all the GTR stuff you didn't use...i'm sure even the most littlest of things will sell real quick lol.

what condition was all the factory intercooler and piping like? i may be interested in it lol...

Thanks, the factory intercooler and piping is in great condition. I'll pm ya when I get ready to let it go.

is there any particular reason why your using BG mounts?? with B6T mounts you can have the mounted easy

Actually I used two BF mounts (on the crossmember to the transaxle) and a custom mount. I'll upload some more pics and a progress update today/tomorrow.

Progress update time.

The newly fabricated passenger side engine mount



Here's the radiator, due to space limitations I had the original b6 radiator
re cored. The original core was 2 rows of 1/2" tubes on 3/8 centers,
smooth tubes, 16 fins per inch and 1 and 1/4" thick.
The new core is 2 rows of 5/8" tubes on 7/16 centers, using dimpled tubes, 14 fins per inch and 1 and 1/2" thick.
Even the original water temp. sensor from the GTR fits!


In order to make running the intercooler piping easier, we have decided to move the mounting location of the radiator.
Here is the original mounting point.


New fabricated mount and brackets



New mounting point.


CorkSport intercooler.


Both mounted.

awesome!, dude i like the headlights on your car aye probably nothing special for you guys but i would love a set of those lol

Yeah, I like them a lot too. They just need to be cleaned bad, so foggy.

lookin good!! just going with custom piping i take it? car should fly lol

don't forget about the gtr piping for me tho

[sano86323]

Small update tonight. Got her running and she sounds great. The stock alt has gone bad on me unfortunately, looking into using a 92 mx-3 alt for the 90amp upgrade.
Also found antifreeze dripping from the oil pan, it appears to be coming from somewhere under the timing cover.
Need to get tires and the last of the body wiring in and she should be ready!

Did you replace the water pump?

[sano86323]

Nope, but that is exactly what I was going to look at.
Hopefully my FS thread will get me some funds xD
