'Bout Damn Time Build Thread - Warning, Pics Inside.

[RPS1392]

So this project of mine has been going on long enough. Figured I'd better get it done and on the road. Problem is, if I keep stopping to wire wheel the nuts and bolts, Ill never finish!

On with the Pics...

Tomorrow I will post the pics of the turbo install

[IRN]

what was misleading about the rebuild? nice work though.

[RPS1392]

Original plan was to rebuild the T25...

Anyone want a T25 rebuild kit?

[dirtdiggler666]

ill take it who made the kit??

[dirtdiggler666]

oh is their a site where you can buy the cs downpipe?? it looks fucking rad as hell

[shade]

Is that a HICAS rearend I see?

Nice build. Looking great so far.

[blasting_speed]

Damn, this is wicked awesome. Great work dude.

[IRN]

i just bought a rebuild kit today and seeing you said the rebuild kit or rebuilding in general was misleading, i was just a little curious. how so? and how much for the kit?

[ant_s13]

as far as i can tell, he meant misleading in the context of his thread as he is not going through with rebuilding his t25, he is infact using a t28...

[rb25_s13*CHUKI]

Build is looking great.. Nice color's and nice choice with the hicas rear end... I also like that you let your son help... Get em started early so that by the time he's your age he will own u.. haha... Nice build

[mrmephistopheles]

Problem with your pics lies here:

/Project%20240/

Make that part:
/Project 240/

And you'll be set (gotta do it for every image though).

[RPS1392]

Is that a HICAS rearend I see?

Nice build. Looking great so far.

Yes, it is. I'm not crazy about the whole rear tie rod setup. Ive been thinking on fabricating up a set of links.

I looked at the spindle, and it seems I can just press out the tie rod end, and replace it with a bushing.

[RPS1392]

Ok, some more pics on the turbo install. I'm going to test a couple of links to photobucket to see if I can get them to function.

A little of this goes a long way to keep parts from becomming unattached.

looks good, is that CS adapter so you can use your 3 bolt T25 inlet/outlet pipe on the 2 bolt T28

[RPS1392]

Not exactly. It rotates the compressor output to match up with the stock hotpipe an a S13.

EDIT: I have confirmed that each 1st pic conforms to the proper format. Not sure why each pic after the first works. Maybe one of the moderators could help.

[JDMslide180]

very nice buil soo far man, Good luck with the rest.

Nice build thus far.

You installed this line incorrectly though.

You could have left the wastegate bar as-is, used the straight end on the turbo, and used the 90 at the block.

It looks like you will be stretching the hose, the way it shouldn't in order to fit the hotpipe outlet.

Won't fit either way...

great build man keep up the good work.

[RPS1392]

reeeeeeeeeallly now? (lightbulb) .. Was it hard to mate it with the car? Any issues? Good idea!!

No issues other than the normal. had to replace the ebrake cables, and do some creative mounting (see pic).

Sourced and installed the HiCas eliminator bar.

Last, the rear muffler hanger is not located the same. I cut the one off the S13 subframe, and will have an exhaust shop weld it on for me.

It mounted and looks like it belongs there.

but good work

It's always good to see people do things right. That diamond gray is perfect!

I love seeing people breath life into cars by restoring and rebuilding them.

Keep up the good work!

[RPS1392]

Thanks for the comments guys.

I just got back from the local Nissan dealer where I ordered new brake and clutch line clips for the firewall. After paying for them in advance, and having them tell me they will be in for pickup in about a week. Today they tell me that they're not available. Fucking fantastic. Now I have to start calling dealerships hoping someone has 'em in stock.

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j11/yesd0g/Project%20240/DSCN3591.jpg

[jspaeth]

What kind of intercooler is that?

It looks like Greddy R-SPL.....same as the one I've got it.

If so, that intercooler is pure bad ass. I have a PowerFC and GT2871R, and at 18 psi, the intake air temperature (even at full boost) is not higher than the air temperature under no load.

Either the turbo puts out unheated air (doubtful), or that intercooler is just sick at cooling the charge air.

[burnsauto]

FINALLY, someone knows what silicone to use. i hate seeing that orange (yes i know they call it red.) shit crapping up good engine builds.

you should sell that skid plate.
id be intrested in one for a KA

I did the same as you when inserting the line on the turbo.

Just flipped the actuator bar around right?

Yes, just flipped the actuator rod 180 degrees and installed the line. No sharp bends in the hose. I like it like that.

Thanks, I'm working on it as much as I can each night. Not real crazy about dropping the engine in till my lines are routed. The powder coat gun is awsome for $40 bucks. I just went to Goodwill and picked up a $10 toaster oven. I want to do my calipers, but I'll have to tear them down to do it.

Heres a pic of me test fitting the one 18 I have..

mmmmm....tasty wheels. My gun was about $60 i believe. I like the compact size of your oven, but it does limit the size of parts you can do. I'm hoping to do all my suspension arms etc. I'm kinda pissed now cuz i spent countless hours rebuilding, cleaning, and PAINTING my new Q45 brakes a couple months before i got the PC gun. D'oh!!

I do have one other thing, a small sandblast cabinet. for proper adhesion of the powdercoat, you need to apply it to preped bare metal from what I understand. I got the gun and SB cab from Harbor Freight and salvage, and the powder from rosey's powder coat on ebay. They sell cool colors in small quantities.

[RPS1392]

Ok, its been a while, but Ive got a lot of progress to post.

awesome build so far! What torque rating is that electric impact rated to? I have a 14.4v that doesn't really cut it.

I'm not sure, the new ones are different. I llok at my paperwork when I get home.

One question.
Those of you that have done SR swaps, what did you do with the igniter?. I removed it from the mounting bracket, but I'm looking for a sanitary way to mount it to the strut tower. I'm trying to keep it out of the way of the fuel lines/filter.

Any Pics of the way you have yours mounted would be appreciated.

Yes, it is. I'm not crazy about the whole rear tie rod setup. Ive been thinking on fabricating up a set of links.

I looked at the spindle, and it seems I can just press out the tie rod end, and replace it with a bushing.


just swap everything to the s13 subframe and you wont have to fabricate anything.

Not sure if this helps but I just mounted mine with two sheet-metal screws right onto the shock tower. It was easy and keeps it out of the way. I don't have any pics though.

Ive got it mounted with some doublesided tape right now, I'm thinking that I will extend the harness and move it around the back of the strut tower for a fixed location. I dont like the idea of it sitting there right under the fuel filter.

nice build, way to do things the right way!

So tonight I did some wiring so that I could have a boost guage. The setup Ive got is from PLX. I wanted to keep the dash area simple, so I went with the column pods, and eventually have another display. The two sensors I have currently are boost/vac, and wideband AFR. In the video you can see that AFR reading 14.6, thats because I dont have the O2 sensor and harness hooked up yet. Also tonight I fabricated a throttle cable bracket.

Edit... the sound is horrible in the video.
