A Mates 360 build.

Ouch. If that's the 360 I'm thinking of, that hurts quite a bit

I wondered about an SR20 conversion, surprised no one i know of had done it sooner to be honest. Frick loada work though. It might be a little sacralidge, but look at all the AE86s and KE70s etc with SR20s and S2K engines. That'll be bloody quick!

Wasn't yours was it?

Nah it's just my car's twin in 360 form

It will go fast.

Was Ben Mckie's, now Alanovich's AFAIK



It's a 360 GLEi SE isn't it? Leather/Aircon/Everything else? http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... 30#p136668

WTF am I on about, really should stop coming on here after the pub. This should be really cool

It's not - I think the pic was used as an example, check the registration of the build car, it's an F plate. Awesome looking build, and the SR20 is a nice lump! Cage is interesting though, not convinced on the rear strut bar being welded to the arch skins and it's also way too low for harness mounting - AFAIK the straps should be horizontal.

They said the same thing at Turbo Bricks.

Cages are such things which I would do by the book because if a cage is improperly designed it can cause more damage than good if you flip the car.

ahh this is a good find, anyone chucked s13 running gear in aswell? i was pondering about this... the volvo is only 150mm shorter wheelbase, if that i can't remember what it was when i looked into it with some detail. currently looking for a rotten s13 myself
would require some massive forestry arches off an escort though

Why would you want to do that... the CA18 likes to eat big end bearings for breakfast I'd rather use a turbo'd Volvo redblock than one of them

SR20DET a different story...

Volvo's redblock seem to be generally an underrated engine among the (300-series) drifting scene for some reason even though every other motorsport section from rally to +1000hp drag cars uses it as a base.

200-series drift scene is another thing..

Still something different anyways so props for that. I hope that the interior parts and possible rare accessories don't go to waste bin!

haha forgot about that, just when i looked half the 200sx on the market have the 2 litre lump in

Marko, that is true; but you know just as good what is nescassary to get a redlbock to +1000hp, or even reliable around 400bhp... even M-rods start to strugge with tuning to above 250bhp
a SR20DET can throw out 400bhp+ with a few bolton and commonly available parts (compared to redblock relativly cheap; much more nissan tuning in the market), and it will stay in one piece for a long time.

to me the only pointless thing in this build is all that work into a nissan engine swap, and maitaining the 360's original drivetrain i'd personally strongly reconsider that and preferradly use the nissan gearbox and rear wheel drive / suspension; the guy definatly knows how to weld so what's holding him back from using a setup that will take a lot more...
also not convinced about the cage, though the horizotal member between the rear arches is on a FIA spec height to use as harness mounting bar.

one word PIMP!! lol saw this in the flesh and i creamed my pants lmao super cool so much work gone into it lots and lots of man hours will be epic when finished
