I purchased a 91 se-r about a little less than
a year ago. Awsome car. Was awsome until it overheated
due to a bad thermostat. I ran it on the highway
for 45 minutes past the H on overheat. (OUCH)
Lots of smoke.
I got a new radiator and a new thermostat.
Ran great until we ran some tests on it to find
that it had a slow headgasket leak. Oops.
Also had bad blow-by oil pressure from a damaged
sealent ring on the piston. Another oops.
Scrapped the old for a slightly new JDM primera
SR20DE. Did all the work myself, was a pain, but I
would do it again now that I know whats what.
Had to fab the down pipe. Cut it 5in shorter due to
the fact that the JDM exhaust manifold is longer and
cooler. Also had to weld in the o2 bung.
Anyway. With none of the emissions and all It runs
bad ass now.
QUESTION though. Is the high port throttle body better?
and should I have my ECU reprogrammed or try and get
a JDM GTI-R/Sunny ECU being I have no EGR or emissions?
Let me know. Thanks. Sorry to bore you with my life story.
