Head drain and oil pan It’s been a long time coming. I was in LA at the end of January 2022 and I was suppose to stop by the SR20 Store. Marco messaged me that his family has Covid, so they were quarantining. It’s been awhile since he’s touched it.. but today… I got some …

Project Leopard – ARP timing tensioner kit When I started to buy everything for the RB25det, I was thinking a lot about this kit. Only place I found it to be was on Boostfactory.ca. They broke down what they did. For some reason, I just waited on ordering. I think it was because the engine …
Project Leopard – Boost Doc Water fitting When the RB25det was finally getting worked on, Marco hit stump. He said the water inlet pipe is eroded. This common of this piece. He said it could still be used, but if we can get a new one, we should. I looked at first and I didn’t …

So I decided to update/upgrade some of the engine bay components. NO CHEAP STUFF…. don’t want any INFERIOR fuel product… …
Project Leopard – Exhaust manifold, exhaust manifold and turbo heat shield Cerakote Glacier Chrome Marco (my builder) convinced me to stick with the stock exhaust manifold because it is cast iron and strong. This is what they originally went with during the Project Car Magazine build up. They were also going for the factory look, …
I will be 100% honest with you. While I almost swapped an RB20det in 2007, I didn’t . I battled with what my intentions were if I did a swap. I never was a hardcore drifter and the only reason that I helped with swaps (Honda, Mazda, Subaru, Nissans and Toyotas) was out of pure curiosity and …
