My SR24 Beast S13.5 Build.

[ETHANOLED SR]

I've contemplated on making a build thread for so long. There are so many awesome builds on here and I wasn't sure if mine would even compare, but I figured I needed to share this setup and see what everyone thinks of the Stroker SR20! After seizing my S14 motor about a year ago, I decided to rebuild or go RB. I even considered going LS, but my obsession with the SR20 seemed to have a grasp on me. I ended up with an S13 stroker fully built drag setup long block. I've poured sweat, blood and tears trying to get this together over the last 6 months now.

The motor setup is almost all complete and ready to be fired up for the first time. Just a few more weeks of sweatin' and bleedin' left to go, not to mention bigger pocket holes. I am looking forward to seeing the #'s this motor puts down after it's properly broken in. I'm not worried so much of the HP #'s because I know the motor was built for and can handle a 1000HP with the proper setup. I didn't want a drag 240 but a track and drift setup seemed way more fun and maybe much less of breakdowns. I wanna see the power band it achieves with the t.s Full Race setup and on low boost/pump gas. For now! :naughty:

I've learned a lot from my mistakes over the past 10 years of being an SR owner, dealing with the wrong people and what not. DIY has been my motto on most of this build, one reason being labor cost and the other reason is just knowing you did the work. Any input or ideas from my fellow Zilvians could be new knowledge and is always welcome. Feel free to post any questions, suggestions and or comments! To keep this short and sweet, I'll let the pics do all the talkin'.


Goodbye S14 motor!! :sadwavey: 310HP (on Dynapak) wasn't enough power but it will be missed! This was my first and only SR since 1999 which I beat the hell out of, it was only a matter of time before something went wrong! 310 to the wheels was nice, but I seriously need something that's gonna scare the livin' crap out of me!

Time to get this grime and grease off and prep for welding!
http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/turbosr123/SR24%20Beast%20build/ProjectBuild39.jpg

After lots of elbow grease, sweat, blood and some simple green. It's clean.

Here's the bay being prepped for stitch welds. Prepped under the tubs for stitching as well.

My buddy Matt helping cut out front section of tubs. I wanted to get rid of the front halves and especially that rusted ass battery tray.

Other side is on now.
http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/turbosr123/SR24%20Beast%20build/IMGP0491.jpg

I decided to plate off all these holes, no need for so many open holes.

After many weeks of trying to pick a color for the engine bay, I decided to go with the BMW Laguna Seca Blue 2 stage solid. I tried to capture the true tone in some of these pics, but it still looks much better in person.

All Earl's plumbing, took a while to figure out the right and perfect setup for custom made turbo and fuel lines. Lots of measuring and fitting went into this stuff. But hey not bad for my first time with AN assembly and install.

The problem here was I had built this motor and assembled all the bolt on parts but I had to get it down the stairs somehow! Believe it or not me and my bro brought this thing down a narrow flight of steps by ourselves on this custom made wooden dolly thingy!

Thanks to Matt Castle for the fab. work on the bay and everything that needed to be custom made! Thanks to Yonathon and Sirac for giving me a hand in dropping the Beast in and much more.

Injector Dynamics 1000cc high impedance injectors are here. Took some Vaseline to get these babies in just right. Good idea Sirac!

I will keep this thread updated as I get more done on the Beast!

[tqstarburst]

sick,loving that color, what code is that blue?

[Okinawandrifter87]

1 post in and I am in love with this build already! Keep up the good work and can't wait to see more! Subscribed!

[Edwin562]

sick ass build dude... all nice and sexy... loving it... keep up the good work

[Om1kron]

why did you paint the engine bay before making headlight brackets and how will you mount a bumper support?

Really don't understand the tub work either. I mean the motor itself looks like a great drag strip motor.

Great work so far but some of the stuff in the order you did it kinda has me scratching my head.

[JDM Sil4ty]

^^ yea me too, not doing chronological order?

maybe $$ isnt a problem in this case..

[HOBBS240]

In on first page.

Sick build!

[g-via]

eyes are glued on this build!

you have excellent taste in parts man

[tricky_ab]

I love the engine build! You selected some great parts!

[gunluvS14]

nice planning on building an engine upstair :-P
i couldn't imagine carry it thru that narrow stairs

[mrphams]

Mate that's a crazy build, love it!

I'm shopping around for stroker kits, had my eyes on the Brian Crower, but keen to see how your Peak Performance goes.

BTW, just curious... why are there welds on the front of the rocker cover?

[Quail]

This is amazing.

[didderson]

BTW, just curious... why are there welds on the front of the rocker cover?


Looks like a custom removable front valve cover. For adjusting cam gears.

Great build man, Lol some say drag setup? twin scroll full race= Nah, plenty of response.

I love the polished aluminum look Fuk YA!

also, I might have missed it but what's up with your valve cover? I saw the welds then I expected to see a s14 rear section.

did you polish the manifold or get it chrome dipped?

[badbob2121]

absolutely am amazing...........BRAVO!!!

[Team DET]

this looks so sick ...that full-race exhaust manifold :wackit:

Cool fab work. My kinda build.

[Darkvillin]

i want to hear it purr....and then again. and then again. and then again.

[ETHANOLED SR]

Thanks for all the props! I will definitely keep this thread updated and I hope to make it a sick ass car when it's finally running!
:2f2f:

Thanks! It's a BMW color code 448 Laguna Seca Blue.

I seem to do things the way I plan them out in my head. I had the 15 front end before and I pretty much know where and how I will attach the new brackets. I did my hood latches after the paint and they came out pretty well! I'll make the custom brackets and drill the holes for them on the core support. Getting all the welds complete before the paint was my main concern. I'll do the same with the inside, cage first then paint. Oh, as for the tubs, I really wanted them gone all the way to the towers, but I decided to keep them and get rid of the front flat sections instead. I think it looks good with the stock tub sections and I didn't see the need for custom high style tubs. I got just enough clearance!

nice planning on building an engine upstair :-P
i couldn't imagine carry it thru that narrow stairs

LOL! :duh: Man I was so stressed out on bringing it down in 1 piece. Instead of carrying it we used the 4x4's as sleds and slowly slid the whole thing down. Thank God it made it down safely.

Mate that's a crazy build, love it!

BTW, just curious... why are there welds on the front of the rocker cover?

Thanks! I hear the B.C. kits are pretty sick as well. We'll find out how the Peak Performance stroker kit does pretty soon! The valve cover is gonna be used for ease of tuning the gears w/o removing the whole cover on every adjustment. Not too sure if it will seal for the track though, I might get another permanent valve cover or have this one welded shut after the tune.

Correct! it's for ease of tuning! Thanks man!

It's for ease of tuning, and it's polished!

i commend you for having kids and still being able to live the dream. you are every mans hero and they dont even know it.

Haha! I wish! That's why it's taking me so long to get it together. My kids come first and whatever is left over (which is very rare) goes to the hobby!

[HPKMotorsports3]

wow nice choice on the stroker kit something that is not done much... and lets be honest that is your son's car... lol

[97240TB]

I mean I guess the engine is okay and all....




But that color made my penis erupt in a fiery passion that could not be stopped, With that said...



Continue....

[Ceepo]

That color is sick!!! looks really good :D

[zooopreme]

awesome build, can't wait to see how it'll turn out

[ETHANOLED SR]

I got these 300zx calipers sandblasted, rebuilt, & Looking brand new again. Thanks Kim for hookin' it up on the rebuild. Now I need to have them painted with a high temp. mix. I'll either do the Laguna seca blue or a gloss black on all 4 calipers.

Also, I got my chassis harness done. I deleted all unneeded plugs, relays, and wires and rerouted the whole ugly engine bay chassis harness with all the relays and fuse boxes right under the dash. I eliminated 1 of the relay boxes completely and retained all relays into 1 box. All the gauges and electronics are pretty much hooked up and vacuum lines ran. I still have some sensors to finish. I'll post some pics of the dash and wiring work later on today if I get a chance.

I can't run the rears till I get all the missing hardware pieces and e-brake cables. But maybe I'll run a separate hydro e-brake later!

[BlitzRPS13]

Looks really good.

Update what you did with your cabin harness!

[heavenboundkevin]

how much do you think the longblock, in the config that you moved it down the stairs weigh? like 350-400 lbs?

im talking about from the oil pan to valve cover, with all internals, the intake mani and exh/turbo manifold...

[HOBBS240]

http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/turbosr123/SR24%20Beast%20build/IMGP0081.jpg

Mind is full of fuck

Seriously though, you're using 300z brakes over the stoptechs ? any reason in particular?

[ETHANOLED SR]

Thanks again for all the props!!! :hsdance:

Update what you did with your cabin harness!

I want to but with the killer heat wave these last few days I can't even imagine being in the 240 for more than a minute. Waiting for the weather to cool down so I can get some work done and snap a few pics for updates.

I'm guessin' at least that much if not more with the wooden plank and all. I'm pretty sure the billet forged Stroker crank, Darton cast sleeves and top mount F.R. kit added even more weight.
Considering 2 guys brought this down those stairs I think it was pretty amazing nothing was damaged!

You would rather have these over these?

You're right, mind is full of fuck. :loco:
I wouldn't choose the 300z brakes over the Stop Tech bbk, but I had to since the Stop Tech's are gone now!!! Forgot to mention that in the thread. I give you props for paying attention to detail!

Hopefully I'll get a sick BBK all around soon, but for now I have to do with the Z's. :spank:

Well honestly... Depending on what you are doing, the 300zx brakes should be fine. Unless of course you are building a show car which I seriously doubt.

You previously mentioned drag so I assume that's what it's being built for? Or are you building it for multiple purposes?

The Z brakes will be ok for drifting and street, but on time attack it won't last much with the amount of heat the small rotors will be exposed to.

I mentioned drag as in the long block was built for a drag setup, but my turbo setup is a 30R FULL RACE twin scroll. NOT a drag setup at all!

If I wanted to drag the motor I would've went with the original 42R GT turbo setup plan. Here's a picture of the block with G-Dimension's Castrol Challenge Turbo setup that they ran on their 2.2L block and pulled over 900hp easily! They still had room for way more boost and HP gains!

This is what my long block was built for!

This is the setup I have on it instead for time attack/Drift/and hopefully street! :boink:

[GroundPerformance]

Wow.. Sick build keep us updated.

[scoob]

please clean that alternator!

sick build man!!

[ETHANOLED SR]

^^^ Thanks everyone!
I've got some progress on the build. I got all the engine and chassis wiring complete and ran, all my gauges, boost controller, Tein EDFC unit, turbo timer, and the power FC hooked up. I still need to do my ground wires, and run the electric fan wires and relays.

I fed the engine bay harness back thru the driver side hole, welded that big hole shut. Then I open up the harness and deleted all relays and wires pertaining to. I was able to delete one of the relay boxes completely and consolidate all relays into one box. I re loomed the new cleaned harness and ran it along the bar under the dash across to passenger side. I used zipties like a mad man to keep it all together and tucked up along the dash bar neatly encase I need to troubleshoot. I then extended any wires that needed to reach to engine and trans. It's a long and grueling process but it will pay off if done right. Now I have nothing in the engine bay other than motor and parts attached to it. I was able to get the dash all bolted on as well.

I had this custom water pipe made for my temp sensor.

Wow, amazing attention to detail! I am really excited to see how this looks in the end. Keep it up man!

[Sreds13]

More detail photos of the wire tuck... It looks like you shoved everything under the dash where the wires would fit? I did the same thing last year and this summer I ripped it all back out because I could get to anything. Heres a before and after just for ideas for you. Build looks great just adding an extra idea for you. Keep up the good build man.

Yeah, I want a custom race style chassis harness done with switch panel and all but budget is very tight and I'm at the point of just wanting to get it started and broken in already. I have big plans still but need time to put some ends together. I did this harness out in the sun drenched in sweat and all :dead:. This is temporary till I have it done proper later on. Thanks for the idea though!
Your setup looks nice and it seems like you spent a lot of time, it must have been nice doing it indoors though! :bowrofl:

[PerilousActs]

Can you list what relays you removed? I'm about to start mine and would love to do the same thing.

[Gordo714]

Better yet, get a quest alternator from ebay and the bracket to run one from codyace!

I canceled all the relays from this box except for the ACC relay which I relocated with the other box.

I've heard of this upgrade, do you think I need the quest alternator considering I have nothing but ignition, fuel, fans and lighting? Will it make a big difference with my setup?

[97240TB]

Ah I see, Well then you would definetly need a better brake setup lol

I wasn't sure exactly what your plans were for the car but everything looks to be coming together rather nicely, Great job man.

[fckillerbee]

so I have a questions, you cut most of the front away to save weight...but you ended at the front wheel wells. ummm, why? I understand it would prevent things from getting in your engine bay, but you cut the front off? so istn't that defeating the purpose? Or did you have other ideas for keeping shit out of the engine?

[Om1kron]

I've heard of this upgrade, do you think I need the quest alternator considering I have nothing but ignition, fuel, fans and lighting? Will it make a big difference with my setup?

I paid 80 bucks for my alternator and 75 for the mounting hardware (not sure what the price is now.) I run taurus fans, big hp draws a lot of juice. I'm just prepping for the future. You look like you got a nice light show going on inside of that car. I'd say it's worth it.

I'm sorry but I am completely lost in your grammar and I can't figure out what exactly it is you're asking!!! I cut out the s15 core support and sold it, then I decided to make a custom core support second time around. I cut out the front flat sections of the tubs because they were too beat up to fix. I decided to keep them cut out and open rather than adding new pieces when there's no use for it! I also thought of cutting the tubs all the way out to the towers, but decided it would be too much open space for my taste.

So, in conclusion, I just left the tubs in and the cut out flat sections out! It's different than the usual tub job but who says they have to go all the way to the core support? The whole engine bay is stitched and has a tube core support, I'm not worried of any extra rigidity those flat pieces might have added if any at all!

I'm pretty sure he meant, "Now that your engine bay is no longer completely sealed from the elements, WHAT THE HELL YOU GONNA DO WHEN SOME O'DAT SHIT GETS UP IN DERRRRR?"

SRSLY, who lets things from the outside world get into their engine bays?

WOW!!! This is all new info to me, thanks in advance! I wasn't aware of that small front section of the tubs being my protectors from the elements and the outside world! Man, what was I thinking? :hahano:
Wait so the fact that the whole bottom side of the engine bay is wide open to the ELEMENTS and The OUTSIDE WORLD makes no difference? But the front section of the tubs do? OK!!!
If you haven't noticed this car will not be very street friendly thus I won't be street driving it much.
Thanks for translating for me though! :whip:

Yeah, I covered the bottom of my car in duct tape, then i weather-stripped the bottom of the hood. I couldn't imagine a world where dirt and road grime were allowed to share a space with my KA24DE.:bigok:

Where did u get the mount kit for the alternator?

[Okinawandrifter87]

Where did u get the mount kit for the alternator?

If you just hit the search button you would know that the member on here by the name of Codyace on here makes the kit him self and sells them. Next time search cause people won't be as nice to give you an answer you can find on your own.

P.s even Om1kron mentions him by name in his post. Welcome to fail. Population = you.

Can't wait for more updates OP.

Thanks. And I did. But I guess I didn't put the right words down.

hey man amazing job i lvoe that your putting so much effort in the sr around where i live 90 percent of people hate the sr but i love it. it loks amazing and keep it up

[Weedm]

inspirationalmiracleliciouslybig&tasty and stuff. wow, nice build.

[ETHANOLED SR]

Thanks again everyone for all the props! It definitely drives me to get more done on the BEAST every day. :rofl: Hopefully I can get some work done this weekend. I'll keep you updated! :coold:

Wow!!! Sounds like you've built a KA oven in your engine bay. HAHA!
I know what you're saying though, the last thing that I need is dirt and grime getting all over my motor and engine bay area, but it's gonna happen regardless. I'll probably make a skid plate later on, that should help keep the bay cleaner!

hey man amazing job i lvoe that your putting so much effort in the sr around where i live 90 percent of people hate the sr but i love it. it loks amazing and keep it up

HI MIKEY!:fruit:

[ETHANOLED SR]

very nice coming along great!!

Thanks! It's been a long staking build!

Why not KA24?

There's nothing wrong with the KA motor, just not my cup of tea!!! If 90% of the people there hate SR's and they love the KA motor instead than I guess the stock truck NA motor is their cup of tea!!! The KA has potential if rebuilt right with a power adder slapped to it, but so is every other motor!

I practically have a KA displacement in my SR now!! haha!! I would love to do a comparison test with a full built KA-T! Dyno graphs (power band, HP and torque #'s), 0-60, 0-100, 60-130, and front to rear weight balance difference. This would make for a good thread! :goyou: or a great gamble!!!


what a build... that full race kits is mind blowing

It still blows my mind every day! I took turns sleeping with different parts the first week I got it. Manifold was first in line! :ssex: lol!

I was kidding. oops.

Haha!
HI MIKEY!:fruit:
WTF?!? OK!

[97240TB]

That would be a excellent thread in my opinion.

You could also toss up Cost to build and MPG, I think you are on to something there hombre!

[s15specR]

Subscribed!

What throttle body is that ?

[ETHANOLED SR]

That would be a excellent thread in my opinion.

Looking forward to it if "GroundPerformance" wants to compare one of his built KA-T's. Just gotta finish the build first and I'm in! Not so sure about the cost and MPG factors of interest.

Subscribed!

What throttle body is that ?

Nissan Pulsar N15 70mm T/B. I had the idle coolant passages cut off (no need) and I mounted it upside down with throttle cable pulley to the inside, I'm running the throttle cable under the plenum instead!

[GroundPerformance]

I'm down for a friendly competition just LMK how, when and where. Yeah, not sure on the cost factor as I always keep my builds reasonably put together but will definitely not hold off on the HP power production.

[Om1kron]

Ground Performance should give you a good run for your money, I saw him dyno his daily while the tuner was having issues with the wastegate it still put down 360+hp if I recall and of course after he left he got the WG issues sorted out, still would like to see how much more hp he could've gotten out of that motor.

[ETHANOLED SR]

This is motivating to finish this build even faster! I wouldn't call this anything near a competition, but a comparison for the finding facts and knowledge learned to better our builds! I think the upcoming comparison thread will be very interesting regardless!

Sounds good!

[jspecusa]

did you use a s14 oil pick up or modify your stock one?
I also suggest you get some type of Ign amp system and use AEM ems
or Motec for engine tuning.
sr is a superior over ka in all aspect in technology just smaller in displacement.
I would pick a KA build over SR due to lower cost then SR for the same amount of HP,
but I still love the high rev SR more.
Cheers

[wgJoY]

Ahhhh!

I was hoping I would get another update before I finished the page!

This is an amazing build, hope everything turns out for the best!

[mxsx25]

If I recall right, I think my builder used the better oil pick up. I'll have to ask him.
I was planning on running a good ignition system soon, as for the engine tuning Power FC map based is what I have for now. We'll see how it does. Koji from Driftspeed will be tuning the motor and as far as I know he's the man for the job.
Hell yeah, SR over KA all day here too. I can set the rev past 9k on this motor, but I think 8.5k or even 8k might just be plenty, we'll have to see.

Ahhhh!

Thanks man! I haven't had any time lately to get any work done! Weather's been nice and cold too but just no time. I should have the brake calipers painted to match the engine bay pretty soon!

I think this might be one of my favorite engine bays... so clean! Keep us posted

I did aim very high on the engine bay setup. I figured do it right once and for all. The rest of the car will be done right soon after the cage work, race harness, and a full paint job. Bigger rims are in plan as well!

PowerFC will do the job fine, just that it's not the optimal tuning tool for 400+ hp. Easy way to explain it would be you can run a 80mm pipping exhaust for 400+hp, but a 95mm or bigger pipping exhaust would be ideal.

Koji is great, he was my mentor when I was young, learned alot from him.
In fact it was at his house I saw my 1st japanese video of a s13 silvia and made me want one.
With background from XS Engineering as Apexi master dealer, he won't have any problem with Power FC.

Another thing I would've done would be to bore your N15 throttle body 5mm bigger before tuning it and make sure you change the heat range on the plugs.
Good luck

[daftphunk]

Dope ass build thread. I say paint the calipers gloss black, so much blue is wild. But the bay is sick!

[ETHANOLED SR]

Wow! that's cool that you've know Koji for a while. He knows the SR motor and tuning it is his specialty when it comes to the power FC. To be honest he's probably the only person that explains things to you and they make sense instantly.

I got the NGK 8's to use for the motor, and I'll probably leave the t/b for now and see what Koji suggests! But thanks for all the suggestions man, I appreciate it!

[ETHANOLED SR]

I'm trying to find some time to get stuff done on the car!
I picked up some goodies from Earls yesterday! I got some more fittings and prolite hose to complete the fuel lines all the way to where the stock hard lines are. Also, picked up a teflon speed flex -4 hose with steel end fittings for my new clutch line.

are you using hard tube adapters for the fuel line? or tube nut and tube sleeve?

[Chase Bays]

You got -4 for your clutch line? Too big. You need -3AN.

Yeah I got the hard line adapters from Earls. This setup should be good enough for now. I'll upgrade the whole fuel system later on!

You got -4 for your clutch line? Too big. You need -3AN.

I know it's supposed to be a -3 like the brake lines are. I figured I'd get the -4 instead. It'll just take more fluid.
Did you get my pm for the brake lines?

[japslapsilvia]

Yeah I got the hard line adapters from Earls. This setup should be good enough for now. I'll upgrade the whole fuel system later on!



you MAY run into a problem. im assuming the earls fitting is a -6AN to 3/8ths hard line. if that is the case you should run all new 3/8ths hard line to the tank. the stock line is closer to 5/16ths.
I ended up using a -5AN tube nut and sleeve, then a -5 to -6AN fitting for mine.....

in anycase GREAT BUILD!!

Actually I got the 5/16 to a -6 AN adapters. I measured the lines before hand so I don't run into any issues later. Thanks for the heads up though, I should be done with the fuel, clutch, and brake lines by next week, my next step is the power steering lines, cooler, and I/C pipes!

I'll take pics for the updates!

Yeah I am about to call you.

The -4AN as your clutch line isn't about the fluid volume, the pedal is going to feel a lot worse. Its going to feel, for lack of better words "mushy" hah

[ETHANOLED SR]

Thanks for all the props guys!
Got some updates on the build!
For my brake lines: I got some of Chase Bays relocated stainless braided -3 lines on the way. Big Thanks to Chase Bays for hookin' it up! I'll have those slapped on as soon as they arrive and I'll have some nice pics of the install!!!
I got my -4 clutch line installed from cylinder to slave, I know it's bigger than the stock -3 line and if the pedal feels sluggish at all I'll have to replace it again with a -3! We'll see how it goes!

[ETHANOLED SR]

I was thinking of moving the fuel return fitting back a few inches! I made the Prolite hose long to give it slack to accommodate the motor's torque play. Now that I'm looking at it I think it needs to move back more! I'll have pics up soon.

Also, I should have my custom throttle cable bracket and radiator brackets completed soon!

I'd like to have it ready for my tuner Koji by the end of this week! :bowrofl:

niice build

[LSjauN]

AMAZING BUILD!!!! Both motor and fabrication alike.

I REALLLY like the Leguna Seca Blue, it looks like it damn near blinds you in the sunlight. lol

Just out of Curiosity though, seeing as you striped it all down, already had a welder out, and had covered up some holes. Why didn't you just weld some Tubs in there to give it an even more Smooth look, and why didn't you just go ahead and weld up all the other little misc. 1/4" holes that were there from the Relay boxes and such?

Just Wondering though.

[SuperiorS14]

nice...great to see that waynes motor will be put to use!

[Magical Trevor]

What fuel pump are you going to use? Also, do you plan on running this setup on E85? I can't wait for this build to be done.

I REALLLY like the Leguna Seca Blue, it looks like it damn near blinds you in the sunlight. lol

Just out of Curiosity though, seeing as you striped it all down, already had a welder out, and had covered up some holes. Why didn't you just weld some Tubs in there to give it an even more Smooth look, and why didn't you just go ahead and weld up all the other little misc. 1/4" holes that were there from the Relay boxes and such?

Just Wondering though.

Thanks!
To answer your question and everyone's curiosity as well.
*Need: I really didn't see the need for tubs!
*Impatience: tired of having the built motor sit for so long and want it running soon!
*Budget: I want the car to be done right, full cage and paint inside and out! But my budget is tight and I can't wait any longer. lol.
*Scared: Some tubs I've seen look great and others horrible. I guess I'd rather have stock tubs over a nightmare job!
*Space: I did everything in an open space so far and if I had an enclosed garage I know I would've been more meticulous and I wouldn't feel so rushed.
*Regret: I'd hate to mess with the engine bay later on if rubbing issues arise, but I can always have it resprayed with the cage and the rest of the car if I have to. Oh well!
For the time being I can enjoy my dream motor for a bit instead of looking at it every day as it sits and waits!


nice...great to see that waynes motor will be put to use!

Yeah he definitely had big plans for it as a drag motor! Hopefully it will last much longer with my setup. Wayne has been a big help with my build. He hooks up with the best prices on parts. I owe him a big thanks and I know getting this motor fired up will put a smile on his face still!
Hit up phase2 for your parts! Wayne comes thru every time for me!

What fuel pump are you going to use? Also, do you plan on running this setup on E85? I can't wait for this build to be done.

With budget in mind, I'll be running a dual Walbro in tank! Should be enough for now! My original plan was to do E85, but availability in Ca. is small still and not worth the 30+ mile trip for every fill. Then there's the fuel setup factor that E85 demands, whole new system from tank to injectors consisting of bigger lines, big pumps, and Teflon layered hoses. It also burns a lot quicker than gasoline!
I figure if I can achieve a quick responding motor with a broad power band on pump gas with a boost range of 17 to 22 psi and putting down over 500rwhp, then I'm good for now.

I swear those close up engine bay pics make that blue pop!

Yeah it sure does, seems like a whole different blue in the light!

Here are some small updates:
I was bored out of my mind so I made this bottle into my coolant reservoir tank. It should do the job just fine! :goyou:

Here's my old oil catch can that I'll be running on the new motor setup, Thanks Yonathon! I am converting the fittings to AN later on, but for now it'll just be hoses.

I almost drilled some holes in the firewall to have it mounted before realizing this perfect spot for it on the passenger tower. I used the factory holes which matched the threads on my catch tank. Not bad!!!

I love love love that blue. So good, and I usually hate blue so that says alot.

Are you going to paint your valve cover?

[Magical Trevor]

Are you on a 3071R or 3076R?

[ETHANOLED SR]

Thanks man! Yes I'll be painting the valve cover, but not sure on the color or if it'll be this v.c. after it's welded shut or another one!

Are you on a 3071R or 3076R?

It's a 3076R with a 0.82 A/R twin scroll turbine housing. :snoop:
I figured the 3071R is too small for high end and the 35R is a bit too big and laggy!

[didderson]

I hope you have a tube going to the bottom of the 'coolant tank.'
It does need to suck fluid back into the system when the engine cools off.

[jspecusa]

*Need: I really didn't see the need for tubs!


ya there's no need to tub unless it's a drift car.
spend the time and money on the right things 1st time around.
oh I didn't know that's wayne's old motor, it was at gdimension for
the longest time.
BTW cut and weld the coolant return pipe on the motor to make it larger
like this.

thats weird,i didnt know they made that a/r for twin scroll...whos the exhaust housing made by??also that backside is actually really small to make 500 @20lbs on pump..is this a t3 or t4 twinscroll?when configuring a/r on twinscroll its very misleading as the runners are divided so you actually only have about 60% of what a normal a/r would be.sorta like a .82 t/s housing would be equal to a .43 a/r open mouth hotside...im interested to see if it gets choked out up top...goodluck homie,its a very nice setup!!should make for an unbelievable street car!!make sure to post up dyno's please!!:coold:

You would hope that I know how a coolant reservoir works right! Haha! Thanks for the heads up man, but yeah I'll have a hose coming off the gold barb fitting to the bottom of the can.
Here's a pic of the back side of the cap.

Yeah it was with James @ G-D for a minute and Part of the reason why I don't want it sitting around much longer!
I see your point on the water neck modification but is it really necessary?
When you look at the stock neck it does get flatter right under the CAS but wider at the same time to compensate for the fluid volume.

Here are some updates from today. My buddy Matt came thru with these brackets for the throttle cable and some aluminum radiator brackets up top. He did these without having the car there to work with so I will be modifying them tomorrow to make 'em sit better and look cleaner!

Throttle cable bracket: (I'll raise up higher so it sits closer to T/B)

http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/turbosr123/SR24%20Beast%20build/SR24BEAST211.jpg

I can't figure out where to place the reservoir tank but I'm guessing right next to the radiator would be nice!

Yeah twin scroll housings used to come in a 0.78 A/R housing option only but over the last year now they've added the 0.63, 0.82, and the 1.06 A/R options for both T3 and T4 flanged Garrett GT family turbos.
I ordered my whole turbo kit from Full Race so I'm not sure who makes those housings for these, I'm guessing it's from ATP!!!

My friend's 2.2L SR20 on a 3076R twin scroll single waste gate setup on pump gas 21 psi made over 500rwhp on dynapack! I'm sure my 2.4L full built stroker block will hit the 500 mark on pump.

I trust my tuner Koji to do a reliable tune while achieving the most hp and torque at the same time, sure you can mess with timing and fuel to achieve higher hp on the dyno but it's not good in the long run. As long as the power band curve is good I'm happy!

We'll have to wait till dyno day! I'll have videos and detailed charts to post!

huh,cool man..wow,thats sick that your buddy made that kinda power,and on a dynopak WTF!!!it makes ma more optomistic for my pumpgas goals.im 2.2 fully built ve head with ve pistons with full race t4 t/s 6262.im hoping i can get close to 550 on pump.i really admire the attention to detail in getting it right the first time around.ive been messing with this setup for about a year and a half,anf hoping to have it on the road by december.ill be watching this thread closely.goodluck with all aspects of it!!and try not to get depressed about the money your spending on it like myself..lol..

[Maapy]

Keep up the good work you'll finish eventually. I'm not even done with the car yet.

[LSjauN]

Is this going to be a dedicated track car?, or are you going to register it and actually drive it on the street every now and then?

[ETHANOLED SR]

Keep up the good work you'll finish eventually. I'm not even done with the car yet.

Thanks! I haven't been in my 240 for over a year now! I can't take it anymore! lol.

It's already registered and will be street driven every now and then or maybe even more than that! But track days will be fun! :goyou:

[Backintoans13]

Wow just read from the beginning....definitely subscribed. Sick as build bro!!! When im ready to swap in an SR i hope to have it looking as clean as yours....the stroker kit isnt really my thing but i love the detail you have done. Is the car going to be the same color as the bay? Also is the inside including cage gonna be same color or do you have something else in mind? Again sick build!!

[LSjauN]

It's already registered and will be street driven every now and then or maybe even more than that! But track days is where all the fun will be at! :goyou:

DOPE

Though, only thing i see that might be a problem, is your DP being right next to/in front of the brake booster. I had a Top mount kit on my old RB25'd s13 and the DP was in the almost exact same area. After about 15 mins. of driving, it would get so hot that the brake assist wouldn't work, and it was all "manual" braking/ having to pull the e-brake a little bit.

[Maapy]

Thanks! I haven't been in my 240 for over a year now! I can't take it anymore! lol.Update!! Can't wait anymore joking haha. I haven't even drove mine since i started the project guess it a normal thing for everyone. Yay for another stroker SR and S15 front conversion lol.

Thanks bro!

I'm thinking of doing Laguna Seca Blue throughout the engine bay and interior after the cage work. Exterior will be Satin Black!!!

I don't want anything flashy on the outside so I don't stick out like a soar thumb in traffic!!! But I might change my mind by the time I get the cage done!

I have the heat shield for the master cylinder for now! I'll probably have to wrap the whole booster and m/c heat shield piece with the gold nasa heat reflector tape or Earls's orange flame guard tape! :bigok:


Update!! Can't wait anymore joking haha. I haven't even drove mine since i started the project guess it a normal thing for everyone. Yay for another stroker SR and S15 front conversion lol.


Haha! Thanks! Only other one I know of is Boso's S15!

[97240TB]

This cars exterior should be painted gold so it's as flashy as humanly possible. lol

Real talk though I'm surprised no one has brought up the fact that you are doing this with a S-15 front end conversion. =/

[ETHANOLED SR]

For over the last year now my pad has been a 240/SR parts store! I had parts throughout the entire house, parts in the attic, bedrooms (including my daughter's bedroom and closet), living room, hall way and anywhere else I could fit them! I wasn't expecting to take so long! lol.

My girl has been on my case for it every single day and just recently the motor moved out and the rest followed as I assembled it back together! I'm so glad I don't hear it anymore, lol.

Today I got my fenders down and put on the Beast! I'll have to make time for the side skirts another day!
http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/turbosr123/SR24%20Beast%20build/IMGP0157.jpg

Took me a good 3 hours of fitment, drilling, more fitment, alignment and so on! These things are 30mm over so the car looks in desperate need of spacers or wider wheels with lower offset up front and definitely some wider panels on the rear quarters! :hyper:

[ETHANOLED SR]

Thanks guys!
Finally found time to get some work done on the Beast! :eek3d:

I got my AN fuel injection fuel filter from Earl's and some more fittings to complete the fuel setup. The filter flows up to 4000GPH with 0 restrictions!

http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/turbosr123/SR24%20Beast%20build/SR24parts62.jpg

Filter element is cleanable and reusable!!! Better be for $75 bones! :hahano:

http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/turbosr123/SR24%20Beast%20build/SR24parts68.jpg

I wanted to move the return fitting further back near the feed line, but I had to buy another tube/AN adapter fitting because once you compress the ferrule piece on it can't be reused.
Even though these fittings are reusable, they don't sell the ferrule by itself thus the reusable part is out of the equation if you're relocating it! So, I had to buy the whole adapter unit again! :axe:

I have to say I was pretty impressed with their products! High quality parts, cleaner looking setup, easy install, and great service from Chase Bays! :rofl:

[idahotuner]

look great dude. loving the AN lines. wish i was baller enough to do that lol. i would also like to do my front like yours with a tubular core support, and bucketed fronts. i would liek to bucket the rears to but i dont have a wire feed at this time. as soon as i do i will.

[Magical Trevor]

Looks amazing! I love the brake lines!

[LS14]

amazing!! u sir are building inspiration... love the full race products too

[Xclusive_racer]

Ahhhh so many good ideas and ways to build an sr! TWO THUMBS UP! I still need your number so i can talk to you about my Haltech.

[S-Nation S13]

after much thought, im starting to like tha chase bay brake lines..any word on what WHP you'll be putting out, if not at least a estimated guess??

[nathanong87]

alot of cool parts in this thread

[tricky_ab]

I'm always down for stroker kit builds! Keep it up! And I feel you on the part about your house being littered with parts. I'm stocking up mysef right now...

[killer240]

does the chase base clutch line and brake lines have a tight fitment? or the lines are long enough to reroute them?

i dont see this on their website?

[zylvia213]

very nice build. Seems like its coming along pretty good. Nice work bro

[Backintoans13]

does the chase base clutch line and brake lines have a tight fitment? or the lines are long enough to reroute them?

+1.......was also thinking the same thing by looking at the pics you posted of the lines. Are they long enough or is it a tight??

[CamryOnBronze]

Looking great... Thanks for the additional pics of the Chase stuff. On my list for this winter!

[LSjauN]

I love just going through this thread and re-reading everything i've already read....lol

There's gonna be some pretty crazy bends in those IC pipes to get it to match up to the turbo, amirite?...




Only thing I honestly don't like about it, is the s15 front, lol

[Backintoans13]

I love s15 fronts....dont know why majority of ppl on here dont?? Wanted to do it to my last s13 but with my new one im gonna go kouki.

[LSjauN]

ehh

I like s15 fronts on s14's, but not on s13's. The s13's body lines are little bit too "sharp",(if you will), for the smooth/rounded lines of the the s15 front

IMO of course

[whereda40at]

looks pretty simular to my build. i have had my 2.35 stoker sr for a couple years now with my ported head and kelford 280 cams fully built head. just finished up my season with my gt2876r turbo. next season im running a b/w s366 going for 800hp. i really want to see what your set up does to compare to what mine should do. IMO you should run some 1600cc injectors. just my 2 cents.

[PoorMans180SX]

Chase bays stuff looks great!

Question; If I'm not mistaken, you're running an EGT sensor in your downpipe. Why? EGT is only good for tuning when placed before the turbo.

[ETHANOLED SR]

Thanks all for all the props and inspiration to keep this build alive!
Sorry I haven't had any updates lately or any responds to your q's, been very busy with work and the family!

Ahhhh so many good ideas and ways to build an sr! TWO THUMBS UP! I still need your number so i can talk to you about my Haltech.

I'm guessing 500+ on pump gas with the best power band curve my tuner can pull out of it.

The Chase Bays lines all fit great! No issues there!

There's gonna be some pretty crazy bends in those IC pipes to get it to match up to the turbo, amirite?...
Only thing I honestly don't like about it, is the s15 front, lol

Thanks! Yes the I/C pipes will be very interesting to look @!

I love s15 fronts....dont know why majority of ppl on here dont?? Wanted to do it to my last s13 but with my new one im gonna go kouki.

Everyone has their own taste I guess!

looks pretty simular to my build. i have had my 2.35 stoker sr for a couple years now with my ported head and kelford 280 cams fully built head. just finished up my season with my gt2876r turbo. next season im running a b/w s366 going for 800hp. i really want to see what your set up does to compare to what mine should do. IMO you should run some 1600cc injectors. just my 2 cents.

I'm wondering why you are running a T28 turbo on a stroker SR with big cams?!!
My ID 1000's are more than enough for my setup as of right now!

Chase bays stuff looks great!

Question; If I'm not mistaken, you're running an EGT sensor in your downpipe. Why? EGT is only good for tuning when placed before the turbo.

The EGT sensor is for my EGT temp. gauge and is not being used for tuning. I'm actually running my new wide band O2 there instead and placing the EGT on my lower down pipe!

Here are some recent updates so far. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, I'm waiting on a new pda from AT&T as soon as I get a day off so I can choose between the I-phone 4 or the Samsung android captivate! Any suggestions on which OS is better?

The Beast is currently @ Driftspeed and in the hands of my tuner Koji.
I will probably do a slow break in procedure by having a drive ability tune done so I can put some miles on the motor without any boost and staying below 4k rpm, then I will take it back for a full tune on pump gas. We might do a full dyno break in and race tune same day depending on how the motor sounds on first start up!

Got my S15 front bumper and head lights!

I will have some video updates of the Beast's first start up, shortly followed by the long anticipated tune aiming for 500+rwhp on 91 octane pump gas and a boost range of 17.4 ~ 21 psi. :hsdance:

[smelly240]

What he was saying is that the EGT gauge wont even register 400degrees in the downpipe...

At idle when it should be reading over 700 - your needle wont even move. An EGT gauge only functions before the turbo where exhaust pressures are high. You'll be moving it. I tried putting mine there in summer of 04. I ended up moving it to the #4 runner.


The engine looks fantastic though.

Also - I would talk to the machine shop about the "slow break in" - that doesnt work well with modern engine materials - or with the way most places are honing. With plateau honing you can pretty much heat cycle it one time - do a part throttle pull - and you're good.

[widebodyseven]

I saw your car at driftspeed a few days ago while we were dropping off parts for my brother in laws car. The blue s13.5 on the lift on top of your car.


Your car looks so nice in person specifically the engine bay. Good luck with the build

[dms2]

wow...super nice setup!
PERFECTLY
cant wait to see video

[srstan]

looking good...i want to stroke the SR...makes me want to have it done soon..

[jofus228]

Amazing build, I can't wait to see this thing running. Any thought about getting rear over fenders to give the back a little flare to match the front fenders?

[Om1kron]

I really hate build threads with pictures of "LOOK WHAT I JUST BOUGHT" with no building involved so fucking lame.

[fastbackinit]

I really hate build threads with pictures of "LOOK WHAT I JUST BOUGHT" with no building involved so fucking lame.

Then you can really hate yourself for speaking... had you read the thread or heck, even skimmed the pictures you would know that there was some serious fab efforts put here. Next time think before you make yourself look like a idiot. And if I could afford a s15 conversion id show it off too. If you don't likey don't looky.

Anyways....

Awesome build!!! Bay looks clean! Keep it up!

I know for a fact there was a lot of building going on, there was no time for "stop! i gotta take a pic for my build thread"!

Not trying to sound rude but im pretty sure this was a kinda spur of the moment post of a build thread! I know! i have helped him throughout his build!

Thanks! Yeah I see that s13.5 there all the time now waiting for a heart transplant.

Thanks! I'll probably get some over fenders to match the fronts later. I'm not too sure if I even like the fronts for keeps. Something's gotta give though to make it flow right!

I really hate build threads with pictures of "LOOK WHAT I JUST BOUGHT" with no building involved so fucking lame.

LOL! If you're so blind that you missed all the building involved parts than why do you even care? I didn't mean to offend your little brain with pics of just parts, I've been so busy with work lately I haven't got a chance but to drop parts off to my tuner and my garage.

Yeah it sure was a spur of the moment build thread! Thanks for all your help man! I'm sorry but I forgot to take some pics of the Z calipers you painted for me. I'll have them up soon.

Updates:
Well I took the car to Driftspeed a few weeks ago now to have it tuned by the infamous "Koji"!
I didn't get to finish a lot of the little things before taking it to him so he's been stuck having to do the little tedious tasks on top of the major one's like starting up the SR24 Beast for the first time and inspecting it thoroughly and so on.
My plan is to do a drive-ability tune initially so I can rack up some miles on the motor before we start boosting and putting down some heavy #'s. I'm still not sure, but I think I'll be tuning on pump gas for now till my fuel system is ready for ethanol later.
I got a chance to drop by Driftspeed for it's first start up and warm up yesterday, here are some vids and pics. More updates coming soon!

[Darkvillin]

keep pushin. looks great!

[ross.cottrill]

man,that thing is going to make power everywhere!!!i talked to geoff from full-race about oh,two years ago,and at the time ,he said one of the sickest cars that hed driven so far was a 2.4 30r car!!should be a blast man!!

[ETHANOLED SR]

Thanks guys!

I'm getting the final touches done on it! I should have it running for break-in driving soon.

I ended up exchanging the AEM wide band for the new Innovative MTX unit. They're supposed to be better and more accurate than AEM!
I'll have some pics up soon.

[ETHANOLED SR]

Here is the Innovate MTX unit I picked up in exchange of the AEM.
I should be installing it sometime this week. Looks pretty clean!

My Baby is pretty complete now, can't say fully yet till I do the full tune on the motor. We set the fuel cut @ 4500rpm and or 10-12psi of boost for the break in drive. The motor is insane with response and wants to spool instantly. My tuner says it's almost impossible to keep it out of boost! @ 2800rpm it's already spooling with not much throttle. I can't wait for the full tune and better yet for the race gas tune. I gotta do some installs and prep work on it myself and bring it back when it's ready! I guess all good things come in time!

Here are some recent pics:

looking real good ....sorry for the lack of words its lookin great :bow:

[Imarvin240]

that setup looks so mean! great looking build so far, deffinitly coming along well. good luck with the rest of the build!

[RickyS13.]

Its builds like these that make me wonder why people sell their SR's and go a different route. Im soooooo loving this build!!! I guess i just have an obsession with the SR like you do :D ................im also an S13 fanboy so thumbs up lol!

[onehundredoctane]

whats early word on hp/tq? I need something to aim for, then surpass... shit looks nice and clean under the hood!

[bb4_96]

Really impressive build. curious to see driving impressions on chasebays brake lines, Toby has them too and i think he's going to post up his thoughts. +1 for being impatient. My build is going on 6 years and I can't wait to be finished.

P.S. the key your looking for is between the , and the / not next to the ` lol

[Garage.Works]

such a bad ass car!

[NYS13SLIDER]

one of the nicest engine builds ive seen on zilvia

[mdc240]

this is def sick! More please!!

[mdc240]

Stupid question, what about smog?

[slider2828]

Interesting, what did you end up doing for hte crank case line?

[s15specR]

Great build.


I would look into getting the ID2000's if you're planning on running e85, I maxed mines out at 613hp on e85, 100psi.

Thanks! Definitely not the best route as far as cost, but the obsession is there for sure!

whats early word on hp/tq? I need something to aim for, then surpass... shit looks nice and clean under the hood!

Thanks!
Hard to answer but let me break it down as follows:
Block built to handle 1000hp+ on a bigger turbo setup of course.
My current setup is capable of 700hp+ with race gas and high boost.
With my current setup on pump gas and low boost should be in the 500hp neighborhood. Key factors for me are response, power band, and reliability.

Head lights are on and mounted but unfortunately I had to cut out sections of the core support. I will just have to redo it again and I'll add gusset plates for better support this time around. That's what I get for being impatient!

looks really great, i like it alot. we planned on doing Laguna Seca blue in the bay of our shop 13 too, wish i hadnt let people talk me out of it now. my shop is less than a mile from Full Race and a couple of their old employees have a shop next door to me, they really do make some amazing parts. hope you can continue your attention to detail to the end, its really impressive! best of luck in 2011!

^^^ Thanks guys!

Sorry I haven't really had any updates recently!!! The car has just been sitting in my new garage collecting dust. :wtc:
It still need a full tune and a clutch upgrade so it's just been waiting on the funds. lol.

Lately I've been really thinking of parting the whole car out and getting another chassis to drop the beast into. Something VIP or a clean and stock looking 13 or even a Z chassis. I can't drive this around the way it looks and feels, complete track only car!!! Anyways let me know what you guys think?
I might have a part out thread soon.

[tx240ss]

so, I'm confused... just read every post, watched you spend some serious jack, did some great modifications, showed tremendous imagination and patience, but you didn't realize that a 700-1000hp car wouldn't be much fun on the street? So you're thinking of parting it out????????? I guess you just answered an age old question... Can you ever have too much horsepower?? yep, I think you can.... Still, I love your build, just don't know what it is.. it is NOT a drag car, really way too nice to drift, too powerful to daily, not built for any sanctioning body to race... I KNOW.... it's a magazine car... You've just created a new NICHE!!!!!.

[Jonathong]

This sir, is truly the best s13.5 I have ever seen in my life. And usually I hate the s13.5. Really glad you shared your build with us.

[199240sxcoupe]

how much power did this beast end up putting down?

[Riq]

I love everything about this build minus the god ugly bodykit, it kinda looks like it's wearing a dress. Other than that keep up the great work.

[RB180sxChris]

awesome wish i had the time to do my car good luck with everything!

[initial_jc]

nice build really diggin the S13.5

[ETHANOLED SR]

I apologize for the prolonged wait without updates....

I'm considering a 14 chassis to finish the build with all the way through.

Part 2 coming soon...
Stay tuned... and thanks for all the compliments!

:bigok:

[GroundPerformance]

Glad to hear its moving along...

[Pray And Spray]

Damnnnn all this work and its going into another shell? Your crazy for that but hey man i give you kudos that shit looks beast.

Staying tuned for v2
