I fucking missed it!

A little project I'm going to start on. Currently has a ga16de in it. But that'll change soon.

The Sentra diet

Preparation on the Sentra is in full swing. Mainly, we're removing everything and anything that we don't absolutely need. So far, that includes

A million coolant hoses that circulate coolant through the lower part of the intake manifold and throttle body

Powersteering

A/C

Secondary radiator fan

EGR

Secondary idle control valve

Cruise control

Windshield washer parts

Misc splash shields

The biggest difficulty was the powersteering. You see, on a GA16DE motor that we have, powersteering pump was on the same belt as water pump. So  to remove it, the alternator had to be relocated to where powersteering used to be. So, many hours later with the angle grinder, I trimmed the massive alternator/compressor bracket to fit where powersteering used to be. It worked out fantastically well. The bracket fits well, alternator pulley is in same plane as crank/water pump and even the stock tensioner is reused (although it had to be extended about 1").

Looking at the alternator from the above

Idle control system was greatly simplified. In stock form there are 2 idle valves - one for warm-up and another one for idle-up. We removed the idle-up valve and about 5 air hoses. The warm-up solenoid was relocated to the front reusing 2 of the stock hoses. Looks almost factory, doesn't it?

The EGR system was very easy to remove. The stock cross-over pipe was cut and then crimped in a vise. This is temporary until the bung can be properly welded.

And finally, overall view of the engine as it sits
