1989 Nissan D21 DD project (first car/first project)
UPDATE: I've got all the interior parts needed.
So, as you know, I've been doing a little organizing, and I've also been prepping all my interior parts for dye.
And here are some pics of the current state of everything.
Cleaned the dash, along with everything else in the bathtub since it was bigger and less likely to scratch stuff up than doing outside.
All the parts are clean!
I was truly surprised at how much gunk came off that I never thought was there.
Thanks Formula 409!
Here is a Before and After comparison of just how nasty some of them were.

LMAO at everyone's obshared_session with minitrucks.
I do plan on lowering the rear more, maybe an inch or two, and I'm gonna toss a KA24DE out of a newer pickup in it, boosting it with an RPS15 Silvia T28 turbo, mid size front mount intercooler, external wastegate, and 3" exhaust from the turbo-back.
And yes, she's a Daily Driver, but I'm gonna slide her around every once in a while.

I'm gonna put the DOHC Frontier KA, take it apart, get it acid dipped and make sure it's clean, clean up the internals the best I can, replace the pistons with slightly lower comp, put stronger connecting rods in, new gaskets, high flow fuel pump and injectors, new valves and springs, and a little bolt on shit for performance(Ignition, smaller radiator, stuff like that.)
Any advice on how I should go about boosting the DOHC KA, LMK.

AFC? And I was gonna go with the smaller Mishimoto Radiators because I dunno how I'd fit an Intercooler in there without downsizing somewhere.
Explain how you'd do it.

Please dont ever talk again, because your way off base.
A KA-DE w/ a t28 and a tune can put down 300hp for 2-3 years if routine check ups are done.
And a SR20DET has a front sump oil pan, a hardbody or any nissan truck has a rear sump oil pan. You will have to make, motor mounts, transmission mounts, and a bunch of other shit.
A KA24DE out of a 98+ frontier will bolt right in, and a frontier harness and dash can be used to make it 700 times easier. Add that t28 + tune, after compression testing the motor. You could put down a reliable 250-300hp, with ease.
That will be all for now.

Hey, I died your dash today, it looks nice.
The truck's going to be over at my dad's Maaco for a while so he can fix the floor and the window leak and other stuff as he sees fit.
And any advice on how I could run an Intercooler?
I will take any advice you have to give, because you seem to know what you're talking about.
