All i can say is Wow!!! my rb swap is nice.

[95s14]

i had a bunch of pics of the swap in progress but it seems the film's came out bad think my camera had a crack in it or something all the pics came out fuzzy cant see anything :{

anyway's finaly got to drive my car today and wow it scares me at how much power is in this motor.

gotta take it easy for 3k miles or so so i can break it in and make sure no major issues pop up.

I will have some vids of the car up some time in the next week or so.

[s14xman]

sweet what model RB?

[95s14]

rb25 one of the newer ones with out the ignitor packs :}

it sounds like a 350z with more balls with the exaust i have on it :}

wish i knew what kind of exaust it was picked it up off a clip from japan for 250$ from the guys at JPR.

[s14xman]

sweet, get a video posted

[AllenRPS13]

sounds cool, loking forward to it!

[sileighty92]

it's great that you got your swap done.

[shift_rwd]

now name your first child han. haha. nice to see your car is finally finished. now they can finally work on chris' ca18. see you around!

[2iv0 sx]

Can I test drive? hehe

[mmdb]

Hey good to hear that it's up and running. I'll be at Han's on Friday (tomorrow) picking up some more parts maybe we can meet up :)

[papa]

awesome... have fun with it

[SpeedMonkeyInc]

Go easy for three thousand miles? Are you kidding!?

1. The motor is already broken in.
2. Any problems will show up MUCH sooner than that.
3. Change the oil/filter again just to be safe and DRIVE!

[sncs14]

gotta take it easy for 3k miles or so so i can break it in and make sure no major issues pop up.

If it isn't a brand new engine just drive it, and as far as far as major issues, you should notice if there are any relatively soon after you start driving it. If it's rebuilt then the break in depends on how tight/loose it was built.

EDIT: looks like SpeedMonkey beat me too it

[drift freaq]

Welcome to the club. Enjoy! RB's are a blast. I cannot go back to driving a setup 4 cylinder anymore after doing mine.

Who did the swap for you? If you have a white s14 and the swap was done at G Dimension I saw your car. The motor looks like it belongs in the car because it fits so perfectly.

[kouki_s14]

no need to break it in for 3000 miles, its a used motor.
drive it for a day chnage the oil and have some fun with it
and be careful since its going to rain soon
boost+rain=no traction

[punxva]

he might still have to if he's got a new clutch, flywheel, or got it rebuilt.

[S14DB]

Who uses film cameras anymore?

[daver903]

^^^HAHA:coold: rb's sound soooo freakin amazing!:bowdown:

[phreze]

boost+rain=no traction

You got that half right its:
boost+rain=some traction, lots of fun

Can't wait to see pics.

[lucky7]

glad to hear you got the car running and that its alot of fun. i cant freaking wait to get behind the wheel of my own.

Welcome to the club. Enjoy! RB's are a blast. I cannot go back to driving a setup 4 cylinder anymore after doing mine.

i am sure as shit i will have the same attitude in a couple of months when i get mine done. get rid of this godawful civic. although i can say ive had lots of fun in the little shit. im gonna have to step up to a wrangler or a 3 series for daily duties. why? because i'll get sooo hooked on the sound of an I6.

[infinitexsound]

Who uses film cameras anymore?
i still do, canon elan7.... great camera!

tho i still have a digi cam... i still prefer developing my own stuff or takin it to a shop and gettin it done...

[brunswick240]

Wheres the pics!!! lol I LOVE RBs Lets see them pics/vids

[Muzzy]

step into the world of digital son....35mm is only for the really good pics now. not everyday snaps....like u needed teh day u made this thread!!!!!!

[S14DB]

step into the world of digital son....35mm is only for the really good pics now. not everyday snaps....like u needed teh day u made this thread!!!!!!More like medium format film. But, even my old neighbor has a digital back for her Hasselblad(16mp FTW).

But, this thread sucks without pics and/or video.

[SilviaSR20DET]

how is handling of the rb25 compared to kat and sr20? any significant weight differences?

[finesses240]

step into the world of digital son....35mm is only for the really good pics now. not everyday snaps....like u needed teh day u made this thread!!!!!!

That's why you do a digital SLR. All the features of a SLR, but the convience of a digital. I love my minolta 5D, great for drift pictures.

[OdessaS13]

WE WANT PICS WE WANT PICS WE :ughug: lol jk but seriosly post some vids/pics

[alchemizt]

WE WANT PICS WE WANT PICS WE :ughug: lol jk but seriosly post some vids/pics

+1 for "WE WANT PICS/VIDS" :D

[koukidough]

picked it up off a clip from japan for 250$ from the guys at JPR.
JPR:rl: I hate that damn place, that guy is a ripoff he sell things based on how intelligent you look. I was just there the other day. If you seem like an idiot he will jack up the prices, if you seem to look like you know what you want you will get it cheaper. Asshole, he try to scam a couple of my friends telling them different prices. That fool think we dont know what parts are worth, we're pro's on that. Also his clips are a bit on the expensive side. Hope you got a good deal tho!

[Muzzy]

well S14DB...thas a world of difference. thas serious stuff.(16mp)

finesses240 well DSLRs are between 700-3000+. im jus talkin about a reg digi cam for everyday stuff. thas all he really needs.

[kouki_s14]

handling doesnt seem any different to me
but i only have my stock ka to compare to
i know people who track RBs and say it's fine and even helps with some understeer that a KA/SR gives the car due to the lighter weight

henry

[95s14]

henry

[95s14]

sounds good to me.

i hate driving my car in the rain :} i slide all over.

[nistech]

now go take some pictures

[Tenchuu]

I'll be sure to snap a few of mine as i do it over the next couple of weeks. any strange stuff you ran into doing the swap that wasn't covered in the other thread?

[kouki_s14]

Well here are some pictures i took today of my car and Ryan's
i hope the mods dont get mad, i know it's not the picture thread, but people asked for it so ill take the risk and post it here

here is Ryan's new heart
http://i2.tinypic.com/rc651v.jpg
the back
http://i2.tinypic.com/rc5381.jpg
also, for those of you who thought my write up on the throttle cable modification was confusing, here is another solution. make a new throttle cable bracket, not the easiest thing but it works
http://i2.tinypic.com/rc53ep.jpg

heres my car, you guys are probably wondering whats happening with it
http://i2.tinypic.com/rc502e.jpg
do my tires look wider?
http://i2.tinypic.com/rc520x.jpg
they should because i put Z32s on my rear! my tires were going bald and the rain scares me so i swapped on my friends z32's until my wheels come in

now for the videos, streetfire didnt seem to be working so i found this site to host it. hope it works out well
heres Ryan's car then my car
sorry it was dark in my garage so you cant see anything so i jsut walk back outside to check out his car
http://i1.zvhost.com/1/z/z1rlia7a.jpg (http://www.zippyvideos.com/6575255294287716/mvi_1828/*henry513)
while he was here i got bored and decided to throw on my HKS BOV so you guys could hear how it sounds. i like it so much better, but it kills the drivability.
http://i1.zvhost.com/1/q/q5ze326x.jpg (http://www.zippyvideos.com/4592398324287806/mvi_1829/*henry513)
and here is Ryan wasting some gas while he left
http://i1.zvhost.com/1/m/mc3s4kh3.jpg (http://www.zippyvideos.com/6351577424287746/mvi_1833/*henry513)

that's it for now
Enjoy!

Henry

edit: sorry but i dont know why the quality doesnt seem as good on the site compared to the originals i have on my computer. so turn up the volume on the last video to hear the BOV and turbo, but its good enough i suppose, i just need a new camera, any donations?

[S14DB]

That site sucks. Ether that or the codec you used.

[kouki_s14]

That site sucks. Ether that or the codec you used.

i used avi format. i assume it's the site because the quality difference is very noticable between my copy and the site. my camera is old and the quality isnt great, but its not THAT bad, i guess the site magnified the bad quality.
streetfire was down and that site was decent with my past videos, any suggestions for hosts from you guys?

henry

[S14DB]

http://www.putfile.com/

[Muzzy]

hot six cylinder sex!!!!! i love the drive by.

ps...u neeed a better camcorder.

[drifter808]

that car sounds awesome. especially with it resonating off the nearby houses. Good Job on the swap.

[kouki_s14]

putfile gives me errors once i finish the upload process. i tried it a few months ago when i wanted to host videos of my swap and i just tried it today. i got the same errors
and its not a camcorder, its a digi cam, so its not gonna be film quallity

henry

[S14DB]

Somehow I can only see the video and not hear the sound. I wanted to try Photofuckits video hosting. looks kinda crappy to me. But, lets see what everyone thinks:

[95s14]

[MELLO*SOS]

More info on that throttle cable bracket? It looks like you modified an existing bracket, care to go into detail about what you did?

[s14xman]

sweet swap, sounds so mean!

[dizbjello]

What bov are you using?

[kouki_s14]

More info on that throttle cable bracket? It looks like you modified an existing bracket, care to go into detail about what you did?

Looks like Han just got a piece of sheet metal and drill+bent some sides up.

What bov are you using?

he is using stock, but if you were asking about the video where i recorded only the HKS bov, its this one
http://i2.tinypic.com/rgvxwp.jpg
old school HKS sequential BOV, i like it a lot better but cant recirculate, so i don't use it.

sorry haha im like stealing his thread, just answering questions since Ryan doesn't go on here all too much
Henry

[95s14]

ya han does alot of making small custom parts he just got a small peice of metal and bent it and drilled it out and hooked it up.

Im sure we can make a few extra if anybody wants to get them from han.

[lucky7]

sounds amazing. i cant wait to get mine up and running.

any kill stories yet?? from either of you?

[Ricks15]

RBPOWER:wackit: :wackit: :wackit:

[silvia_koukis14]

thats some badass ride

[95s14]

I think they are scared of my car cause of the way it sounds. lol

so far no takers on the road.

[sr20newb]

damn looks like your guys do some great work!

[95s14]

going to take some more detailed pics of the car next time i have it on the lift and point out some small problems we had with the swap nothing major but somethings you might over look.

[Muzzy]

i still cant get over how good it sounds.

[S14DB]

i still cant get over how good it sounds.
To quote my next door neighbor. "Sounds like a boat motor"

[Muzzy]

never heard no boat sound like that b4.

[S14DB]

Ether have I. But my neighbor came over one day asking why my car sounded like a boat motor.

[2iv0 sx]

Who did the swap? Looks really clean!

[95s14]

a guy named han at autohan motorsports in city of industry.

if you have any questions about his swaps pm me. he will do pretty much any swap you can think of.

rbs in 300z's as well :}

his swaps are so clean its just nuts at how much effort he put into hiding all my wires.

[autohan]

hey Ryan actually is Autohan Performance
i will be updating the website soon
now i am working to swap a VQ35 on a S13 Chassis that will be fun

[Muzzy]

RB in Z32??? hhhmmm....makes a Z32 worth getting now,

[Vatche]

i personally like my sr sound better ;) but it sounds great , looks great and is great great work and enjoy it!

[Muzzy]

^^^^
you're high...drive an RB....you'll say..."SR?? that little ol' 4 banger?? ..kid stuff" you'll wish u had an RB. i've never even driven an RB but i know i would like the torque and that alone would sway me....and i own an SR.

[95s14]

nice Han is here woot woot.

han does great work so you should all go get your work done at his shop :}
