Default longest swap in history

well I bought all this stuff when I was in Okinawa Japan in 2001 and has been sitting around since then ...finnaly doing something with it since I'm not being sent to some f**ked up country...for now...I plan to have everything I need by the week of jan 16-23....but we'll see...

The engine is a 95...but the intake was cracked by the shippers so I modified an obd0 one to work...ask if you wanna know how...although I wouldn't recommend it...

The ecu is a pr30

And last but deinately not least the tranny is a Y21 W/LSD...
and by the way I wrote this about 3 times cause I kept f-ing up the pic part so I will just add the picture trail link :thumbup: ...

...oooh yea...BTW thw only work done to the engine other than a full rebuild was that it was bored to 81.50...umm thats about it..

let me know what you think.....

Ahhh.. I remember those build days. Looks good man. Anxious to hear how it turns out and how you like it.

You should have hooked your HAN bretheren up when you were in Japan... I know I could have used some stuff...

Yup, it'd be like being in a candy shop for me... if only I could take a trip like every month and just grab hand fulls of the little stuff. I'd be rich. :chuckles:

Nothing ..Th government paid to move all my "household goods" back to the states. and I'm sure they would have shit if they knew I was shipping two engines back but the people who package everything up over there are Okinawa nationals and they really don't care..

So to answer your question...it only cost me the time it took to take the engines apart and clean them...other than that ...NOTHING...
