[Behind Horizon´s] 200SX S13 Drift Project...

[Behind Horizon]

Hello guys,

it is a pleasure to me to watch your great projects which gave me a lot of inspiration so i decided to give you something back. I like you guys over here at this board as some of you are very crazy, just as i am.


I think its now my turn to inspirate you guys with my project and i want to introduce it to you, so enjoy it and write what you are thinking of it.


History:

I bought the car back in May '06 it is an '90 RPS13 200SX ,i bought the car without a engine but with a good transmission and a relative good
overall condition. The previos owner ripped the engine out of the car for other purposes.

On the same day i bought a totally damaged '90 S13 A/T but with an good 30.000 km engine in it which was replaced and completly overhauled by nissan.

After we took the engine out of the damaged car and all the good spare parts we brought the car to the scrapjard, so i had one less SX in my garage.

The project:

The car is build up primary for trackdays (grip driving), especially for drifting and for the nicest and curvyiest streets in Black Forrest (Germany).

Before we took care on the upgrading we first fixed all the damages 16 car years had caused. All rust was removed carefully and other little and big problem zones of the car was fixed.

First i want to say that i want the car to be technically superb and want to save the money for expensive bodykits and rims for the first time.

The engine is a full Stage III setup with some goodies i will concentrate on a very good torque curve and response and not on the peak horsepower.

The important thing for me is to do as much as possible by myself and to be as creative as possible whether then spending a lot of money on expensive Parts.

We choosed to use an uprated twice as thick and with better rib design as the OEM watercooler, including 2 E-Fans and a thermoswitch.

The airbox and its mounting is finished now + painting the engine cam covers. The hood is painted now black and we are working on the air guide for the V-mount. Also we managed to get the battery in the boot. More pictures will be posted in one week.

http://mitglied.lycos.de/bkfhw2004/Projekt/200sx/IMG_0986.jpg

Update:

We changed the timing belt and the two rolls, also we put the CA16DE Cam in and checked/set the ignition timing.
The engine is running fine and is making a very very insane sound.

Also we relocated the battery to the boot due to place problems in the engine bay and weight balance. The battery
will be covered by a box soon. (Its the old battery sitting there)

[S13FREEAAK]

Nice work. I really like the front bumper.

[Neejay]

Are you going to paint the fenders red? I haven't seen an s13 with the whole top part being black (roof, hood, and light covers). That's cool.

I actually like the front bumper, but mainly because it's functional + stylish. If it were on a semi-stock S13, I probably wouldn't put it on (personally). Good job on that hood too. Before I scrolled up and saw where you cut it yourself, I thought it was aftermarket lol

Originally it was planned this way:

But as the first german drift board opened a month ago i offered the guys to put a huge decal on it for promo reasons. I'll get a custom decal graphic soon which will cover the whole side of the car and it is looking brilliant. :naughty:

You almost killed my computer. Great frickin work but I honestly wouldnt expect 500hp. Not with that turbo/injectors. Hurry up and get out there with a camera. I want driving vids.

Haha the clutch is good for 500hp i dont meant my engine have 500hp. The clutch is a bit overrated for my engine but there are not many clutches for the CA18DET, so i bought this one.

I dont know how much hp my engine is producing but i guess about ~300 hp, as guys over here in europe have 280-300 hp with much less performance related parts in their CA18DET at Stage III.

wow great project man!! btw that front bumpers looks awesome! make sure to keep us updated!

I'll keep you guys updated ! :bigok:

You might want to think twice about the heat wrap. It often works to well and builds up high heat in the cylinder head and turbo. The end result is a blown hg and turbo.

Trust me, the engine bay is far too hot for my taste, there is still heat escaping through the heat wrap, even some of my hoses melted as they was too near at the manifold. I planing to cut some more heat exit holes in the bonnet right above the manifold.

awesome build man. must be nice to be able to buy all brand new parts. if the car came out exactly

IMO, the front bumper needs to go, and the hood looks way ricey, but those r just looks anyway.

for going the furthest with what you've got, it came out great.

Yes we used lead on several parts of the car, some parts of the arches got some lead on them too. I think it is a bit more common to use lead over here in Europe but it is still not very popular.

That center concel is the sexiest thing I have seen in a while. What did you use to fill that?

I used a fixed sheet perspex from the back, and filler in the front.


did you paint the car yourself? looks great!

We did all the mods you saw by ourself in the garage including the paint and we will only do mods in the future which we can do by ourself. :D (Except custom mapping)


wow! what a great build, i wish i had money

Just buying things is what every Kid can do, the complicated part is to get things on the car as you want, and then to get things working as you want.

You need very very good workmanship.

The car was built actually much cheaper then you guys might think as i did only lost money on the parts.


great stuff, keep up the good work. by the way, what method did you use to remove the old bushings? thanks.

You can see the method we used on the pictures, we used primary a car jacker to remove the bushing.

I saw CA18DET dynographs with a stock cam and a CA16DE Inlet cam, the CA16 cam will steal you about 10 hp at the top but will give you much more HP/Torque in the midrange. I dont think i have 320 hp at the wheels but maybe nearly this figure at the Flywheel.

The old side markers are already sold, and the selfmade taillights and fronts wont be proof in rain as they will look shit if you make them really proof, so you can only drive arround in summer with them, also i need them as spares if my Koukis get damaged.

"you dont come over 320flywheel HP and the stock engine can hold this"?:eek3:

sorry i`m not trying to put your engine down or something like this, but this is very interresting to me cause what ive heard it is like this

stock HG 200 - 230 HP
stock piston`s lil bit over 300HP
stock con rod`s somewhere abouve 300+HP

................if i`m wrong correct me

so your stock bottom-end can hold lil bit over 300HP (depend on condition, temp, what oil is used......)but i`ve think its just a matter of short time until your HG blows.
i don`t say i wish you that, i would happy if not but that`s astonish me.......
especialy since i used much money, time and effort to build up my ca18 with good, strong engine parts JUST for run around 280 - 300HP safe

you run the same oil as mine, i was told by an another sx driver here in austria, who asked castrol what for oil should be used on a ca18det, that the best oil would be the castrol 10w60, i think its called "TWS" what you can ONLY get from BMW, its especially made for BMW (i think for the V10 M5, M6 engines) it hold almost three times the "pressure" as our oil, but i dont know how expensive it is:faint:

Hello,

Wow, I am enjoying the craftsmanship and effort that you put into building your car! It is really great work! Do all those switches in the center panel really work (ignition, engine start, etc.)? If so, wow, that's a really cool setup.

Not all of the switches are working until now, but they will in future.

Nearly everyone who have an S13 is modifying it over here in Germany. The thing is that S13's as S14's are very Rare over here.

I think the high temperatures come form the manifold and turbo although the manifold is covered in anti-heat-band.

I choosed the CA18 because it is the stock engine in all S13's over here in europe.

I still have the hoses and the canister because it wouldnt bring me anything to remove them...

You just have to put a big GT-wing on the boot to create as much or more downforce then a diffusor, this is what i'll do in the future. A diffuser have the same effect but will need a lot of more work to realize compared to a GT-wing.

One other thing is that you have to remove the fuel tank to create place for an effective diffusor.

Hello Behind Horizon,

I see that you are from Germany, I live in Spain and I have a S14, performance parts are hard to get for the car here in Spain and laws here are very strict on modifying cars. Just wondering where you get your parts from and how you are albe to pass yearly inspection on the 200sx with a modified engine.

You did a great job on your 200sx, the body work and engine work is first rate.

I got my parts mostly from germany, england, the states and japan. We over here in germany have only a inspection every 2 years, i have one year left on my car.

Therefore i need to get my car legalized until then, what might be possible. Thats why i'm driving arround with it only at night, but there is still the risk to be catched by the german cops.

Because of this, this summer will be the last i'll drive arround with it on the street, the car is just to hardcore and dangerous for driving arround on the streets. Also the problem is that i want to make it even more hardcore. :bigok:

Just wondering where you get your parts from and how you are albe to pass yearly inspection on the 200sx with a modified engine.

The inspection is only every second year and it`s possible to legalize almost every modification in germany, but that`s very expensive. I`ve spent over 700 Euros just for the german TÜV this month.

You just have to put a big GT-wing on the boot to create as much or more downforce then a diffusor, this is what i'll do in the future. A diffuser have the same effect but will need a lot of more work to realize compared to a GT-wing.

But wings are much more pitch and roll sensitive, and are more difficult to balance with front aero, assuming they provide any downforce at all (most wings sold are nicely fake). Properly designed underbody aero is the way to go, as it allows for a car that is aerodynamically stable with respect to center of pressure, and can provide more efficient negative lift.

My new turbo ellbow and down pipe in one:

Circuit Sports Cobra, also we shortened it by 27mm as i wasn't satisfied with the clearance to the ground because my turbo is hanging lower then stock because of the Race-Manifold.

Also i wasnt satisfied with the ground clearance of the Spec II exhaust so we extended it by 70mm and welded the silencer

awsome work. any chance for 5 lug and some bbs? :))

I'll do a complete 5-Lug swap incl. Brembo Brake swap at this weekend, new wheels are here too but not bbs. I think BBS are looking great on BMW's but not exactly on S13's /S14's.

are u going to have problems with those nuts backing off from the turbo outlet, and how hard was it to get to those nuts? :)

That are normal nuts, a lot of people do have problems with these ellbow nuts coming all the time off...

I made various templates for the holes with my computer and printed them out, that's why the holes are exact like that.

Then i used a jigsaw to cut the holes out, you'll maybe waste a bumper until you have a good result or maybe not.

Unfortunately none of the 350Z brakde disc shields are fitting the original S13 knuckles. So i had to modify them:

Top cutted OEM ones, bottom OEM 350Z ones:

http://mitglied.lycos.de/rpshtach2/Projekt/IMG_2373.JPG


Left rear 350Z shields, right rear S13 shields:

All shields are already welded and powder coated by now.

As my uncle need an engine for his own S13 i decided to sell him my CA18DET and i bought myself a "nearly" full spec RB25DET.

Therefore i cant use my old V-Mount setup anymore due to place problems of the RB engine.
