Ouch. If that's the 360 I'm thinking of, that hurts quite a bit
Re: SR20 Powered 360 Bulid.
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!

Re: SR20 Powered 360 Bulid.
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.Speedy88 wrote:Ouch.

They said the same thing at Turbo Bricks.SteveP wrote: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.
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.

Re: SR20 Powered 360 Bulid.
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...

Re: SR20 Powered 360 Bulid.
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.SteveP wrote: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

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!

Re: SR20 Powered 360 Bulid.
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.
