[ysosrs] dc2r k20 turbo

[mnc1408]

Got my Jdm k20a flywheel machined.





Picked up a spare gearbox my cousin didn't need. It's a Dc5 5 speed box with a cusco 1.5 way lsd and a spoon 5.1FD. The gear ratios are similar to a 98 spec itr gearbox but taller 2-3-4. Ideally I would like slightly taller gearing but I will work with what I have







headed down to my local automotive store to pick up some supplies.

*Primer and paint for the gearbox
*wire brush and degreaser to prep the gearbox
*thread lock for the flywheel and pressure plate bolts.





Positioning this lump of metal for its makeover.





Ass shot for some motivation.

Midway through wire brushing the gearbox.





After wire brushing, I used wax & degreaser to wipe the gearbox clean and free of contaminents. This is after 3 coats of engine enamel primer.







And finally, 3 coats of aluminum engine enamel paint to match the engine.







About an hour in after the final coat, Melbourne weather took a turn. Thank god the paint has harden and dried but curing it will take another week. First thing I did when the weather changed was put a table over the top to protect it from the rain... which didn't happen luckily.




Here are some progress shots of the bay done by a friend.

Removed a chuck of seam sealer here and put on a thinner amount.

Trying my best Quang!


A little slow the last week or 2 due to a bruised vein.





Put on the freshly machined Jdm k20a flywheel and the comp clutch stage 4 sprung. Mixed reviews with the clutch, too late to change now because i bought it 2 years ago lols.

Flywheel bolts torqued to 90 ft/lbs
Pressure plate bolts torqued to 20 ft/lbs

Also applied thread lock to the bolts.





My buddy Sang was kind enough to donate me a set of dc2r side skirts so that I can fit my Top1 side splitter. Straight forward with the drilling and also used a little thread lock on all the bolts for safe measures.

Bay prepped, and ready to go.





Freshly painted for the 2nd time. Will hit it up with a wet sand around some areas and a nice polish in a week.









Reo bar and bumper support back on.





Hood Latch with some new hardware.





Oem bb + bmc and the s2000 cmc with the checkered sports spacer adapter.





Mocking up the brake lines and clutch line.





Started the brake tuck, Rear lines re routed into the car.











Bmc brake line tuck. Planning to do a custom hard line setup in the near future.







New release bearing, Oem is best!





A few things before the gearbox goes on. Greasing fork, splines etc.







Had a few of the boys come over to give me a hand with the motor. As usual they are always down to give me a hand regardless what time.

This has been the moment I have anticipated for the last 2 years, Feeling overwhelmed!
