MY very own s13 build.. RHD, SR20, full cage etc(moar pics)

[howyfeltersnatch]

I bought the car in august from a friend of mine Sheldon, who purchased it from a friend of his who couldn't finish the build. basically a big birthday present to myself. originally from what i was told the car was an 89 240sx bone stock, then a full s13 front clip was purchased and put on by a guy named natedog, he also put in a full cage.

240 Right Hand Clip Swap - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast (http://www.tristatetuners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52169&highlight=natedogcreations)

fast forward alittle bit i guess the owner before the guy i bought it off of had the whole car painted an awesome blue (i named it that because i forget the actual color) and had plans to do a vq motor swap in it. well i guess some things came up and he had to get rid of the rolling chassis.

already has full cage, 5 lug swap, red top sr20det, circuitsports fmic, Tial bov, custom 3' straight pipe turbo back, nrg carbon racing seats, ebay harnesses and a set of gold with chrome lipped XXR 962's 17x9 in the rear and 17x7 up front

here is a pic during his build with me geekin at something..

so after buying it from him after he decided he didn't want it and wanted to move on to better things. i decided to upgrade alittle bit. i wanted a low key 400hp setup that was reliable.


a good friend of mine Tyler mentioned a site for good inexpensive parts for the sr.. after seeing all the stuff he got from them for his sr'd s14 i decided to give them a shot.

list of things i picked up
Megan Racing 52mm Boost Gauge
ISIS Intake Manifold - Sand Finish
ISIS Turbo Upgrade Package RS3871 Turbo
Megan Racing 52mm Oil Pressure Gauge
Megan Racing 52mm Water Temp Gauge
ISIS Stainless Rocker Arm Stoppers
NRG Engine Torque Damper
ISIS Short Throw Shifter V2
AEM Gauge-type Wide band UEGO Controller

a few other things i picked up from various other sites

ARP head studs
nrg quick release hub and nrg wheel combo
set of sti sidefeed injectors from witchhunter punched out to 770cc's
derlin or delrin solid motor and trans mounts

[howyfeltersnatch]

here is where ive come to a turning point in my build. ive managed to come across a top mount setup my buddy got out of a rediculous deal he managed with some kid. picked up a whole sr swap for $300. the head was alittle banged up and the trans bolt holes were stripped but still

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr356/boosted30rej25/168688_547234817017_213600324_31869938_1542712_n.j pg

lucky fcuk.. but it does sorta benifit me.. in that deal he got a top mount ISIS manifold and a pretty big Borg Warner GM-8 turbo and the downpipe that goes along with it. all i would need is the turbo lines:wackit:

[howyfeltersnatch]

and here is where i am currently at right now. last night i finally got down to the garage to work on the car alittle bit.

Started by throwin it up on stands and takin the wheels off.. inspecting alot of stuff etc

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr356/boosted30rej25/IMG_20110130_181810.jpg

then i got to pulling the IC pipes and intake off so i could get to the turbo lines and everything easier. *im going to have my IC pipes intake pipe and valve cover powder coated white

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr356/boosted30rej25/IMG_20110130_181647.jpg

then taking a whack at the rusted ass bolts on the stock manifold.

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr356/boosted30rej25/IMG_20110130_181658.jpg

took a good while to get that back hardline out but boom!

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr356/boosted30rej25/IMG_20110130_192608.jpg

mockup for the top mount manifold, i need to either find a smaller wasegate or move the shit thats located on the strut tower somewhere else..

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr356/boosted30rej25/IMG_20110130_192124.jpg

well i wanted to see what i was dealing with looks and setup wise with the top mount kit i have. i like the way it sits so far.. so that is why im selling my ISIS bottom mount kit.

[howyfeltersnatch]

CROWER CAMS on the way-
Specs: 264/264 Duration and 12.06mm/12.06mm Lift

aswell as
nistune
isis oil pan
isis cold pipe
spec stage 3 clutch
a tial 38mm wg setup for 1.1 bar
and a few other things

[MidwestMyriad]

Hmm on the right track...new wheels in the future? any aero thoughts?

[MidwestMyriad]

Also curious as to why crower cams, but grey market everything else?

[Imarvin240]

i think i remember seeing this at the sonic meet in morgantown, pa a couple years ago...car looked real clean from what i remember. i was rocking my rhd S13 coupe then hah good luck on the build man...you need any parts, let me know........i have tons.

[howyfeltersnatch]

Hmm on the right track...new wheels in the future? any aero thoughts?
the longer i have these wheels the more they grow on me. i just with i had a 3' lip upfront aswell. but i like the look they give my car. it doesnt look like every other brotato's car tuckin 18x9.5's the 17x9 in the rear is good enough for me

as far as aero... first i need to deal with the gearing/trans to be able to go fast enough to where aero would be benificial, 115 mph in 5th gear screaming at like 5k no bueno (im partially joking) but no i haven't thought about it at all yet.
Also curious as to why crower cams, but grey market everything else?

well the way i see it after my WRX build where i sunk 17k into for topshelf parts to get to 350/350 then seeing other people top it with unusual brands.. i just figured why not, why spend all that money for perrin or hks or greddy etc when ppl were making well over 400whp using a holset on a 2.0 motor.

when you say grey i assume your referring to ISIS- they make decent parts for a price you cant really argue with.

and crower is my personal choice. i did alot of research and decided 280's for my wrx after seeing power gains, flow charts, quality.. so cams for the sr was a no brainer for me

[NoPho4u]

Pretty cool build fore BFE America standards and bottom of the barrel chinese knock off parts I guess.

will do man, i just got done surfing your threads a bit. im sorry to hear? i guess lol everyone is ok which is all that matters, but your house and parts are schmegma on the ground.. that sucks, atleast you can start over and have fun replacing them (jukebox in the bathroom) ;)

fore?
BFE american standards?

I appreciate the bottom of the barrel comment, it almost makes sense...

[coupekidz13]

this car was at the Quakertown sonic meet that me and my friend set up. If you needs any parts also let me know, i have everything you could imagine haha.
You will have go cruising with me since we both have RHD cars, gotta stick together!

[dreamin240sx]

maybe the next best thing is a good set of coilovers

nice, thatd be awesome man. i think it may be time to purchase my first set of coilovers.
maybe the next best thing is a good set of coilovers

yea i think you might be right. im also looking into upgrading and swapping out a couple parts around the front knuckles

[howyfeltersnatch]

hmm since alot of people on here know alot more about sr's than i do id like to get some feedback as to how i should go about building my head

1) stock cams with upgraded springs/retainers and stock rockers?

2)street cams, springs and retainers and solid lifters?

3)street cams springs/retainers and stock rockers?

im only going to be reving to 6,800rpm thanks to the nistune and only boosting 1.1 bar

also getting pistons rings and bearings soon, tyler @ anarchyperformance is hooking me up

I've seen almost every post NoPho4u has made since joining, and he's a mouthy little bitch. Im calling him out and asking to see all the top notch parts and work he has!

Don't sweat it though bro. Keep the progress coming! :bow:

good call.

been getting alittle side tracked with the Anarchy Performance sr20 WRX...
(yea i said it, big whoop.. wanna fight about it??)


ill hopefully be tearing down my motor this week

[OBEEWON]

First please get a gtr grill and brick headlights, it will do wonders for the car. The car is super clean but in order for a sil80 to work you need some type of aero to square it off front to back. Back is more round than the front.

Why are you only revving to 6,800? with that turbo you need to go higher. Also what is your goal? Just fun on the street or what? Also what duration and lift cams are you talking about.

I will say this. BC cam's (unless you meant Crower) are sketchy. They are wierd and hard to get to work right. Stay away from the 272's especially if you are serious about revving below 7k. I've had 2 sets of BC cams for the SR and I wouldn't buy them again. Customer service is like pulling hair out of your nose with welding gloves on.

I would recommend HKS 264's. If you want something mild look into Jim Wolf stuff. Talk to Coday Ace. Matter of fact go to the Sloppy Mechanics dyno meet coming up and talk to him.

Also talk to Steve at Rom is Burning (Smelly240). He does live ROM tunes.

Both those guys are local to you. Good luck.

[MidwestMyriad]

Word....nah I agree, I use some ISIS parts too, just wondering. 3" lips in front is must.

I have 17's all around too.

a GTR grill, and brick headlights you say.. ill look into them see how i feel. and what all do you mean by more aero? lip, skirts etc? i absolutely love the car the way it sits right now. clean and simple but not trying to hard.

i did talk to cody ace alittle bit over on tristate about it. he told me to look into JWT S4's id like to not get too in over my head (with my head lulz) anyway.. so im thinking a mild cam and port job and be done with it. and yes i did mean crower not bc. kinda complete troll BC is not the same as brian crower like i had assumed but really similar names. ill be at the sloppy dyno day, im hoping ill have this thing done and broken in before it. and as far as goals-wise id like to get reliable 350-400 but streetable and not at some crazy psi. if thats at all possible. im only going to be running 1.1 bar max (15.something psi) so whatever it makes with that im just gonna stick with. then eventually save up for a twin scroll setup.

the only reason i had mentioned 6,800 is because thats what the guy had it set at when he used it for drift events before i got it off of him.

lol i sat here for a minute and imagined trying to pick my nose with welding gloves. i got a good chuckle outta it. thanks for the heads up with them though. i really dont have the patience to deal with stuff like that. im not a fan of sitting on the phone with someone discussing my problems. thats why god made women.

im running nistune with a built head reving out to aroun 9k with no problem

care to share you specs on your setup?

Word....nah I agree, I use some ISIS parts too, just wondering. 3" lips in front is must.
i know... but its at the bottom of my list right now, unless i acquire a nice set of wheels for one of my NRG seats im trying to get rid of.

[howyfeltersnatch]

well anarchy performance is ordering me $1800 in parts

changed my mind and just deciding to take a buddy of mines advice and just rebuild the motor. im not trying to have it turn into a year long project right now. send it out get it cleaned. new bearings, seals, rings etc and just run what i have.. it should be good enough for 325ish (im hoping) and just save up to build it fully later.

You bumped this fucking thread just to say that and post some pics of your (acclaimed) irrelevant car? :ugh:

Some premie you are!

And why are you sticking up for NoPhou4U anyways? I've seen all his posts and he's just running around and internet nut swinging! Maybe like yourself perhaps? U TyTe JDM boi!

Shocking isn't it? His intercooler alone is probrobly worth more than your entire car. If you have been in this community long enough you would know about nopho4u including that his account is not his first. But look at your age/location/join date of coarse you aren't going to know. Keep dreaming about that lsx swap you will never have.

^^^ ummm okay..... on another note nice work bro

[KPNITRL]

This is coming along nicely.
Paying all that extra cash for the high end stuff is fine if that's what you wanna do. But Ive never ubderstood why those kids are always hating on everyone else who doesn't dump thousands into an intercooler or other parts.

You keep doing what you do.
If you have haters, your doing it right lol

yea thanks. i never understood the need to gloat. sweet you paid $1000 for that front mount... nails a groundhog:Owned: lol i been there paying top dollar for my wrx parts. i paid $2,000 to turboxs for a utec and a fmic kit when they came out (terrible) or $4,000 for ppg gears..its a hard one to swallow... ive done it, there isnt a need to rape yourself on every car you own.

[howyfeltersnatch]

well head gaskets replaced, arp studs are in. turned out my head was pretty gnarly and i didnt have the funds for a new or used head. so i decided to put off the big top mount setup until i address the scarred cams and journals etc. i decided to just get an new isis oem replacement turbo for now till i save up to finish it. i drop in the new spec clutch, isis intake mani, wired in the new injector clips and will run 770cc sti side feeds and see what this setup gets me for the time being.

all thats left to address is stock fuel rail which i have to get a new one since i banged mine up pretty good just tryin to get the injectors out, driveshaft loop/mount, some wiring, the fmic and put the front end back on
