Now, some feedback would be nice guys. I paid $5k for it, good deal?:bow::newbie:

[secondtonone317]

5k is a pretty fair price.....car looks good, love the black leather

[Ben G]

Looks like shit

this.

The paint looks perfectly fine, maybe down the road if you hate the color you can go nuts and paint it stock nissan red... Your going to NEED bigger injectors and a good engine management system so it will run properly and efficiently without blowing shit up. Pick up a z32 maf while your at it too.

But for $5,000 it seems like a good deal especially since it's an s14 :)

Yeah, I've got the Z32 MAF now with pigtails, ordering injectors and fuel pressure regulator, and she will be done for me, except for the fact I might get different wheels also. What kind of engine management do you recommend?

[seanforney]

Also, forgot to add, ordered new 300Z brakes front conversion for it, im redrilling them for four lug, need to pick them up as well!

[drift213]

ill say you just need some nice wheels (your choice... my opinion 17x9 with low offset) and throw a lip and slam it to fit nice dont worry about the paint it looks good but if you decide to paint it my opinion is white :D

[sidewaysil80]

you NEED a stand alone or a reflash for that setup. piggy backs are complete shit, for the longest time i was inquiring about the levels of mods to where you can get away with it but bottom line you need at least a reflash (enthalpy, jim wolf) or a stand alone (apexi power fc, aem, haltech). what size injectors did you order?

[seanforney]

I'm new with the SR world, I'm still debating on which ones I am ordering, 550's maybe, I want to boost about 18-20, she is at 1 bar now. I will prolly go with a reflash, after I get everything for her, she is just a toy and will sit in a garage most of the time, so I will wait to get all of the parts and all if my plans done and get a reflash, im not too worried about getting other things after the reflash and having to get it done again, as long as it is done right the first time i will be happy. The guy that I got it off off said that he had it reflashed this past year when he put the T28 on it, it does run smooth, but I still wanna get it done by a reputable place with my money if ya know what i mean. Like I said she will sit most of the time, she will come out when she is completely finished, I drive a 2007 Acura TL Type S M6 as my daily, I will drive the 240 to shows and to cruise in's prolly for the most part. What are your thoughts on injectors for that boost goal, and best reflash to go with? Thanks man for your input, sorry for the book! lol

[sidewaysil80]

your going to need 740's for that amount of boost for that turbo. reason being they will be dangerously close to if not at their max duty cycle. as far as reflash, enthalpy is the shit from what i've heard but i never went with them. i was going to instead got lucky with a deal on power fc. this site has an ass ton of knowledge for the questions you have your best bet is to just search tech section and the gt2871r users thread.

drifting oil pan?

[speedfiend]

On the FPR I would personally recommend the SARD FPR. I have run one on my s14 for about 3 years with absolutely no problems. As for your reflash, I also ran the enthalpy tune for about 2 years and loved it. The tune was pretty much spot on and he was very willing to help me out with any questions I had. As for the rest of the car its a very nice find and a reasonable price. Just get those 740cc injectors, FPR, Rom Tune, and some coils and you should be good to go. Your heading in the right direction, just keep browsing these forums and you should be able to find the answers to every question you have.

Nah, i havn't been anywhere in this car yet. Sorry!

drifting oil pan?

Yeah is like slim, and has baffles in it, so the oil doesn't go to one side and blow the motor up. That is the list he sent me, not sure of the technical term for it, but it's nice!
