Completed 1UZ swap!!!! S13

[shoguner]

Well I started out in 2009 and bought a s13 single cam from Mikerbike
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u216/shoguner91/IMG00521.jpg
went to my first drift event

It was awesome! Broke my first tie rod. Replaced it at the track (first time really working on my own car)


Then i got sick of the multi colored paint so I painted it primer.... Not sure why...

cut springs...


But a week later something came in the mail.
My brother is in the military and was in japan when he stumbled apon some some hks coilovers for 50 bucks! So he gave them to me.
Non ride height adjustable... Oh well
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u216/shoguner91/2010-10-24154841.jpg

sold them for 500!

I had my brother pick me up some new ones i found on upgarage. We think they are KTS dampers, switft springs, and cusco top hats (anyone seen these?)

Broke my stock seat. Friend was selling this kirky for REALLY cheap, so i picked it up and mikerbike mounted it in my car. Rocked it for awhile drove all the way from utah up to idaho, wasn't the most comfortable thing in the word.

I painted it orange for some reason too..

I REALLY should have taken more pictures. Unfortunately my brother is no longer there.


Installed a tow hitch to tow tools and tires to an event in idaho... Looking back on it.. Waste of money! Haha Before I got my new truck and giant trailer i wanted to be able to be self sufficient with just the 240! lol
hgsqaZYSO9c
Here is a quick video of said event. Smashed my oil pan and put a hole in it.
JB welded it together. Held for 5 or so months before I Swapped in a new engine.

I got a nice raise at my last job so i decided to "Upgrade" my car.
Paid $1500 bucks for parts car with a "freshly" (I say that because it has a rodknock now) rebuilt KA24de, with; custom T3 manifold, ebay turbo, awesome high mount intercooler
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u216/shoguner91/335627_10150367809381365_1874514547_o_zpssdulht2y. jpg (http://s169.photobucket.com/user/shoguner91/media/335627_10150367809381365_1874514547_o_zpssdulht2y. jpg.html)
and TONS of parts. Ended up selling most of it making more than what i paid for!

First the thing ran like crap.
Then I didn't tighten the cam bolt tight enough, so the cam sprocket came off bending all my exhaust valves. Instead of rebuilding the head, I just bought another head.

Got a new head on it. Got it "started" head a loud pop then, nothing. Wouldn't start again. When i tried the starter it just span. 0 compression in all four cyls....

THIS THING! The damn keyway sheared causing ALL my valves to bend....

Got it all back together and it "ran"

Kinda....
gIA2XE-9Wgs

I was in the mood to bash on something so i installed fender flares.

and got some knuckles made by Mikerbike
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u216/shoguner91/337853_10150548884571365_1755740225_o_zpsxkircs58. jpg (http://s169.photobucket.com/user/shoguner91/media/337853_10150548884571365_1755740225_o_zpsxkircs58. jpg.html)It has awesome awesome angle!

Still wasn't running correctly. So I got rid off all the variables, got a stock ecu, injectors, and maf. I was running sti injectors, chipped ecu, and z32 maf.
Ran! Awesome too! Lean though. Stock with 6psi with large turbo... 13 afr under boost haha
nDkF0Ng3shA
Ran well enough to kill my POS ebay clutch. Over heated like a motha though. Probably wounded it that day.
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u216/shoguner91/380612_10150696384176365_1327516289_n_zpsjjcsq5al. jpg (http://s169.photobucket.com/user/shoguner91/media/380612_10150696384176365_1327516289_n_zpsjjcsq5al. jpg.html)
Worked great as a hot dog warmer though!!! :S
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u216/shoguner91/468609_10150717317371365_935606913_o_zpsdxohsklp.j pg (http://s169.photobucket.com/user/shoguner91/media/468609_10150717317371365_935606913_o_zpsdxohsklp.j pg.html)
stock flywheel and XTD stg 3 clutch, gone! haha
I got a spec stg 3 in a trade so that plus a new light flywheel.


Finally figured out that, with the board i was running in the ecu, I could run 2 tunes and switch them with a jumper... I had burned the tune on the secondary position.
1 jumper is all i had to do!
So now I had a ~250hp ka. It was rad! 6-8psi of boost was nice on the large turbo. Spool'd a little too slow for me...

So, by now i had grown up a bit and bought my self a 03 2500hd CNG so i could tow.
Bought a crappy trailer (later sold it for the same price i bought it. Even though the fenders fell off of it! Ha)

Also decided to paint my car white.

By now, I know how to drift decently and decided to go with Team D-Spare up to CO to drift in a comp
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u216/shoguner91/457273_10150914441986365_1565008157_o_zpsxfn5knpz. jpg (http://s169.photobucket.com/user/shoguner91/media/457273_10150914441986365_1565008157_o_zpsxfn5knpz. jpg.html)
I only ran single comp since i didnt have a cage yet. Got second place because my "new" alternator went out causing fuel cut under boost.

All in all, it was flipping RAD!
ColoRADo!
8RU1f8DqQ1w
Brandon took 1st (purple coupe)
Nick Stucky took 2nd (red miata 190hp)
Mikerbike took 4th (black hatch)
William took 5 or 6th.(ae86)

Now... on my way home from an awesome weekend I hit a deer.... In my new to me truck (14 days to be exact!)

Took out; trans cooler, radiator, bumper support, hood, fender, belts, all the plastic... I was so pissed!!!!
BUT insurance covered it 100% It was very close to being totaled.

They did a great job on fixing it though!

Well,
Sold my rickity trailer and picked a super rad ~26 foot trailer.

Hell ya cage! Cheap on from BDR fits pretty well!
Had to lower my seat for me to fit though.
Don't mind the horrible welds.

Took the car to a local event.
Took 2 runs.... Got a rod knock. My Ka didn't even make it a full year.
This could be because of a TON a reasons. Pistons, the beginning where i had all the problems. Or my newest theory is that the oil pump died. When i took off the oil filter it was pretty empty...

So i was done with ka's
i wanted a little more torque with out a turbo..........
Yes....
you guessed it
V8!!!!!

Tiny little thing is used in nascar (little worried about drivablity. Anybody use a 7.25 triple plate from QM?)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Started the tear down. I am not rebuilding this engine as it was pulled with ~120k miles.
Just doing minor maintenance.
Timing belt.
Water pump

Wires appear to be semi new

Here it is being torn down.

Custom motor mounts will need to be made. It's too bad the sump isn't a bit further forward....

More to come!

Nice thread, I think the KA still could been fun but i guess doing a V8 conversion is cheaper where you live? as there are plenty of them...

About that QM clutch it could be a little "direct", like a hydraulic motoxclutch

I've had 1 QM before and it was like that, depends on what plates u got there tho, thick or thin cerametal

Thin are the worst/most direct on/off

Are you planning to supercharge or turbocharge the engine?
Would be nice looking with a quad turbo setup, or at least twin turbo :D

Nice entertaining thread. Im sure the 1UZ will be loads of fun and reliable. I'd go to the trouble of replacing all of the seals and intake gaskets and what not. You know, things that could cause it to run lean and shorten its life. But im nitpicky like that. Thats going to be alot of fun. Are you doing all this drifting with an open diff? Maybe you mentioned swapping it out and i didnt notice?

All in all a very inspiring story, makes me want to get off my lazy ass and get to a track where the real fun is.

proper build thread. keep it goin'.

Ya i think it's a thin plate... Oh well it's not a street car by any means.
I might upgrade power later down the road. but for now i just want reliability

Nice things about these engines are the price. I can get a whole another engine from a wrecking yard for ~$250. So if blow this one up, I am not too worried haha.

Ya i forgot to mention I bought the car with a welded diff.

I also have Ikey formula RUCA and 1 cusco toe rod and 1 ebay one.

The car slipped off the jack stands and the jack stand hit the toe rod haha.

proper build thread. keep it goin'.

Thanks man! I am hoping to have the engine in by this weekend!

[EnvyS13]

I bought an engine hoist from HF for $150, so first i put that together.... Holy shit haha

Got my clutch, flywheel, and adapter plate all bolted up to find out that my flexplate hit my starter ever so slightly.
So i had to space my starter back a bit.
Once i took everything off and put it back on, it was perfect!!!

So, now i have my own engine hoist i dropped the engine into the bay to see what would clear and what wouldn't

The guy who i bought the engine and trans from already started to move the shifter forward, and it seems like it will be pretty damn good and close.

So all and all, last night was a good night.

[Motary]

awesome thread!

[shoguner]

Small update.

Got the engine all bolted in.

My awesome fab skills lol
Transmission mount made from the stock one and some spare metal i had.


Well. I thought with my rack moved forward more than 30mm i thought i might be able to get my steering shaft around the header. Doesn't seem like it.
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u216/shoguner91/823602_10151299039631365_756470202_o_zpszx18b8l3.j pg (http://s169.photobucket.com/user/shoguner91/media/823602_10151299039631365_756470202_o_zpszx18b8l3.j pg.html)
Collector sits right by where i need to have my shaft come out.

So now I have dilemma, I have a friend that can make me some awesome headers for ~200 bucks. Or me, with 0 fab sillz, hack together something. Only problem is that I will miss vegas round 1 if i have him make them....
I also think with his fab skills he could make headers that benifit me in power vs hinder it haha.

Some of his faboulus fab work.... lol

Hi, i forgot about this.
Ive done major work. It's still not driving though :/

I ended up just making my own headers.
Don't mind the shitty welding.

Built a electrical panel.
Basically for the wiring i left the factory body harness (for now) and ran new power for the ecu, engine, fan, and fuel pump.

from left to right switches.
1 ecu
2 fuel pump
3 fans
4 (haven't decided probably going to be a radiator sprayer.)

The red wire goes to my new fuse panel. (yes there is a fuse in it)


The wiring of this engine was so damn easy.

1 constant to a plug in the engine bay.
1 switched to a plug in the engine bay.
1 switched to a plug near the ecu.
and 1 "start" to a plug in the engine bay.

THAT'S IT.
I had some problem with not getting spark for a bit. All it was, was a ground on the back of the engine not hooked up....

My friend Ellis made me this drive shaft.
Btw if you are thinking of using a z33 trans or g35 trans you will need to get a new yoke, you can NOT use the stock yoke from the z33, you can from the g35 though.

Got the radiator and hoses installed. I had to make one of the hoses with a metal pipe, I also drilled a hole and welded a bung in there so I can install a temp probe.

Also installed a power steering cooler.
I used a Ka24e power steering line. With some manipulation with a hammer.

Made the BEST Shifter ever.
Made out of 10 dollar hammer at harbor freight.

Pass seat mounted.


Then this...

Went and drove it. It's stupid loud... My neighbors don't like it haha.
Came back noticed when i pushed the clutch in, it made a noise ( a new one i have never heard)

Pulled it back into the garage looked in the clutch fork hole. I could see the clutch wobbling....

So, i pulled the engine and trans out,
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u216/shoguner91/934965_10151411668036365_891250311_n_zpshgskpeou.j pg (http://s169.photobucket.com/user/shoguner91/media/934965_10151411668036365_891250311_n_zpshgskpeou.j pg.html)

Pulled it all apart. turns out my 1200 dollar clutch has a warped flywheel... (or forward most friction plate) So ya, that's cool.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u216/shoguner91/904615_10151411668176365_1576061374_o_zps2glbggmw. jpg (http://s169.photobucket.com/user/shoguner91/media/904615_10151411668176365_1576061374_o_zps2glbggmw. jpg.html)
So here it sits, 1 week before an event that i was supposed to drive and give passengers rides at....
I wonder if quartermaster can get me a new flywheel.

[shoguner]

fo0KO_sU8QQ

This is what the clutch was doing...
Turned out to be the spacer and not the 1200 dollar clutch.

[pigeon]

Did you have to extend the steering shaft at all? how did you do so?

[shoguner]

Nope just pulled it out some more since it is a collapsible stock.

[Prove It]

oh man. real build thread...swaps in worst motor ever...seems legit

[blueshark123]

You give 240 owners that shitty reputation. This car looks like a pile of dicks with herpes.

[Jfitzg38]

Car looks terrible, throw a nice kit on it, paint it, and gow low and it will improve x1000

Lol alright.

240's already are a pile of dicks with herpes... what's your point?

No gow low. function is better than sitting pretty.

[Big Zee]

awesome build!!
I'm in the middle of my 350z trans swap into a s13, do you have any pics of how the shifter sits as finished product ? also does the trans sit lower then the frame rails at all ?

[turtle m3th]

^ I'm wondering if the trans sits lower than the rail too, because the z33 trans sits about 1/4" lower than my rails in my fc. But fc's are a joke when it comes to rails, so yeah...

It is pretty low. Another reason I don't wanna lower it,
I'll take a picture tonight.

[Big Zee]

Thanks dude, I just have to get an idea for my car lol. its not super low but its low enough to scrape everywhere untill I get my downpipe modded and tucked up better.

Sorry.
I was busy getting it all back together for the event tomorrow.

I didn't take any pictures

other than my mofuggin hood fits.

[shoguner]

So,
Took the car to a local event.

It is really torque, wasn't use to the power. Spinned a couple of times on the course.

Mostly I was having fun in the donut box giving ride alongs.

Car was doing great, till i took it on the course one last time.... Mid Corner went to upshift into 3rd, dropped the clutch, nothing.
Car stopped moving.
It was weird.
It would go into gear just fine.
It would start, so the flywheel bolts didn't shear.
I jacked up the car and could see the clutch fork pushing the Pressure plate.
The pedal still had all it's resistant.
Only thing i could think of is the the clutch just died. Which doesn't make sense.

I plan on pulling it apart this weekend to see wtf happened.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u216/shoguner91/394475_10151423586941365_1277190623_n_zps44gdzg9d. jpg (http://s169.photobucket.com/user/shoguner91/media/394475_10151423586941365_1277190623_n_zps44gdzg9d. jpg.html)
As for now, I leave you with this.

A friend got a video of me smoking some tires in the donut box.
I'll post it as soon as it's uploaded.

This is gnarly. Can't wait till i start my 1uz/ka trans build

[Snatch'D Factory]

This may not be the cleanest car, but it has one very nasty swap in it. Very nice job with the swap, and good luck this season.

Thanks for the kind words.
If i was into clean cars, I wouldn't be racing haha.

[shoguner]

Alright.
I'm going to make a write up on the wiring.
You ready???

There are only a few wires that you need to hook up.

EB2 connector is a 3 pin connector and is near the igniter
EB1 connector is a 6 pin connector and is near the igniter
IJ2 connector is 17 pin connector near the ECU is dark gray, has 2 rows of pins.

You need switched power to EB2(2). This is a black and orange wire.
You need switched power to EB2(3). This is a black and red wire
You need switched power to IJ2(11). This is a black and orange wire.

You need constant power to EB1(4). This is a black and yellow wire


To start you need to supply "start" power to EB2(1) which is a black wire.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f73/keriish/ConnectorEB1-Lexus.jpg
EB1 is RIGHT next to EB2

MAKE SURE YOU IGNITORS ARE GROUNDED!
Also that the grounds on the back of the engine are bolted on. I spent about 4 days figuring that out. haha

Hope this helps!

All this info was taken off of other websites. I do not own any of these photos or info.

[irritatedmax]

It's not pretty but I respect the amount of work you got in to it. Looks like it works well (when it's not trying to kill itself).

It was way fun while it lasted.

If it is the clutch I will be switching to a more normal clutch set up.
The engine will be out tomorrow and I will be able to see what broke!

I also picked up a tire machine a bit of ago.

300 bucks

Added some wheels to the back so i can move it and load it up on the trailer to bring to the track!

I am also getting a new flywheel spacer made because the old one is so fubar'd
I am also getting the bellhousing machined down 5/16ths of a in. So the input shaft will have more penetration on the pilot bushing.

[silviaks2nr]

I don't have a build thread because 9 year long build threads are almost as pointless as drift missile build threads. The end product is much different; however .

I don't have a nice drift car, therefore this isn't a missile.
This is a build about how i'd rather spend my money on driving than making my car look pretty. That is for later in life.


I have ordered a new transmission should be here this weekend. Hopefully in time for the event next weekend.

[shoguner]

got the new transmission.
I also got 5/16th off of the bellhousing to help the input shaft have more penetration with the pilot bushing.
Got the new spacer. It's quite good. fit amazingly.
Got mostly everything done, still need to find a 90* for the clutch line, bleed the coolant system, build a slave cyl rod, and make sure everything is good to go.
I have a event in 32 hours and i work tomorrow, AND i need to set up the track tomorrow.....

On the trailer headed for the track!

Got to the track and the thing wouldn't start.
So i start ripping apart my unlabeled rats nest of wires. play around with some things. changed a fuse. PRESTO thing starts! BUT we got done setting up the track so i wasn't able to test it. So the helpers and I put our cars in the garage we rented at the track, and my tire machine.


So now. I am ready for tomorrow. 3 vid cameras. Prepare for video!

[05subysti]

love the 1uz swap. Do you have any tips on how to do a wiring harness?

Car did great! I had one pair of 255/40/17s on it ALL morning until about 1.
Swapped to some Continental ExtremeContact DWS and they lasted about 3 hours. With no grip haha.
Here is a clip I grabbed not my best run,
PC0PnZ1IWiY
I drove all morning doing ride alongs. after lunch my brother drove. He learned my car fast so we let him do ride alongs all afternoon.
Here is my brother one lap. P7mr6wrXhUM
Then he spun pretty hard and the alternator sense wire came off and grounded out. He didn't know this though and kept driving till the car died completely.

After that we kinda fixed it. But i think the alternator might be dead....
Hope not... It's not mine...

Got the trailer all loaded up.

I have to drive my truck up on ramps and deflate the rear trailer tires to get my car on the trailer....

Well. All in all it was a good day. I have some kinks to work out, the car misfires pretty bad. I need to change the spark plugs. At the end of the day the clutch felt a little weird, so I plan on pulling the engine (again) and looking at it. I also want to paint my engine bay and get over fenders.

i am talking about doing a custom harness. :coold:

Nope, as you can see, my 1uz is stock. If you search you can find the thread on here.

Good Stuff bro! i yet to go out and burn some tires up....

[shoguner]

Good Stuff bro! i yet to go out and burn some tires up....

Thanks!
You need to get out there. It's amazing!


I found out why my car was misfiring so bad.
1. Stock sc400 fuel rail pressure is 35psi. Mine is at 60psi.
2. spark plugs are from the middle ages and probably don't fire 100% of the time.

Also, I got an offer on my clutch. 900 bucks.
So i plan on selling that and picking up a less aggressive setup!
Little less stress on everything. It will be nicer to load the car on the trailer too and to drive around in the pits.

So this sunday i will be pulling the engine and trans... again. To pull off the clutch. I think i might make a little 30 sec montage of how easy this engine goes in and out of the 240

[Sezio]

You should just get Brett's kit. I got the stage 3 clutch kit. It doesn't feel that aggressive at all and grabs nicely. I still gotta break it in as well as the Engine. You have a FPR? I also Installed a Deastchworks (how ever you spell that lol) Fuel Pump in mine but i'm not running a FPR.

[05subysti]

any tips on merging two different engine harnesses together?

Im kinda thinking my FPR might be bad. It makes a weird rushing noise haha.

Nah, i have a friend who has a new act clutch for 40 bucks, so im getting that, lightened flywheel, and a act pressure plate.

[Sezio]

Mine does that sound too.

[cbcm2435]

This thread needs less 'broken'.

Still looking for the real build thread.

yeah, this isnt really a build thread, this is more of a how to fuck up a car and think its cool thread

[Sezio]

Believe it or not this guy helped me get my car going. May not be the best thread but he's very helpful. And also sorry Shoguner not trying to thread jack but would it be cool if i directed them to my build if need be?

[unwtdhero]

Good build op, lots of useful information in here aside from the regular haters.
You should just put neons on and a aluminum wing. Give them something to bitch about ;)
Subscribed for dedicated track slut, not show car ;)

Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Update!

I was getting sick of my wheels hitting my tension rods and stealing my angle!
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u216/shoguner91/1008440_10151494129871365_247294488_o_zpsajwuivfa. jpg (http://s169.photobucket.com/user/shoguner91/media/1008440_10151494129871365_247294488_o_zpsajwuivfa. jpg.html)

Didn't really clean up the welds.. deal with it. also moved my tension rods to the sway bar hole. Even more angle!

I bought a ACT sr20 disk but all the pucks are loose... anyone seen that?
So my friend gave me this clutch for now, seems really mild, i hope it holds.
There is a clutch shop here that will redo a clutch, so hopefully they can redo the act for fairly cheap.

That new clutch was awesome!!!

But something broke... again.

Now that the car is reliable, i can focus on the exterior.
Paint, overfenders, body kits, etc.

[mikerbike]

deal with it.

I'm not dealing with this very well.

freaking awesome bro! I can't wait to let my car loose at the track.

Well. Looks like cyl 1 spun a bearing.
I think that's what that means?

[Sezio]

DAMN!!! you started hearing some knocking at the track?

[greenwood]

I realize that this is a drift car, but the aesthetics just make me very depressed.

[shoguner]

ya mid corner.
I think the oil sloshed to one side (my pan is dented) and caused this.

Ok.

Overfenders and paint are coming soon. i hope i make you not depressed. Don't kill yourself over a pos s13.

[Sezio]

shit happens.. What weight oil are you using? Also you can get this engine very cheap at the junk yard so no biggy lol

[zenkiset]

lovin the thread man! glad to see another guy with a 1uz setup! I have the engine and ecu for my swap but need a wiring harness. you don't have an extra for sale by chance do you? keep up the dedication! :D. it takes a lot to stay motivated after so many things break, you sire are a role model to me haha.

I did this (or pretty sure it was the cause) to my SR a few years ago. Spun #2 and #3 iirc. It was leaking a small bit of oil and I drove it 400 miles to the track. Took a lap to learn the course (before I refilled my oil to level) and went kinda quick and heard rod knock before the lap was done.

It sucks, I know how you feel *hug* (no homo)

Thanks man

I plan on building a new oil pan with some trap doors to prevent this happening. (even though it was my fault)

I also picked up a 94 ls400 engine this weekend for 300 bucks. Engine, harness, ecu and power steering pump. and i have about 80 bucks in cores i can return.

Needs some gaskets. So plan on some more updates, and another wire up.

[zenkiset]

with the wiring you used, what things for daily driving actually work?

[vehicle336]

Interesting build thread, at least you're doing shit with it instead of hardparking and collecting internets glories.

So when did Miller Motorsports start letting the drift kids back to play? Last I heard Biggie blew a gasket and outlawed it at his events and the park didn't want kids with no liability insurance tearing up their parking areas.

It's nice though, glad you guys have a legit venue to practice at.

Jason Smith Fixed all the problems (even though there really wasn't any, just word of mouth shits)

We have tandem, ride alongs. All the good stuff, we are working on getting on the track for next year.

And thank you. I do plan on prettying this up a bit.

BLAAAAAAAAAAAACK.
I got bored with my engine painted stuff black.

Replaced timing belt, water pump, front main seal.

Still need to replace rear main seal, oil pan gasket. I am going to make some baffles for the oil pan with some trapdoors.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/frechem/oilpan002.jpg

kinda like that, but more square.

[badass8]

Wow you have a lot of people bitching about how ugly the car looks and whatever else "This isn't a build thread". Zilvia members well never appreciate someone sharing their progress. Anyways....

I am trying to pick between an rb20 or a 1uzfe for my next swap. Both are pretty cheap for the power gains. I will just have to do more research on the 1uz swap since there aren't much information on them.

Unfortunately not....
Between lack of funds and motivation this has gone on hold.. for now.
It will be getting a make over this winter though.

I got some over fenders in trade, getting a new driver side fender, paint, dent fixes, wingless hatch, plexiglass windows, and possibly a turbo.

[Panda-Eats-240]

If you've got any extra parts to help me out on my swap while helping you with yours let me know! Still need a wiring harness, motor mounts, and a couple 5-speed swap parts

New shifter set up


Had it running, pretty well, it idles high though.

Then went to test the clutch after bleeding it.
Clutch would not operate.

So. I did what any sane person would do 10 days before an event, who works two jobs.

So much room for activities.

I didn't want to pull the engine, being scared a wire would come undone and i wouldn't be able to figure out which wire is was (because it randomly started working one day haha).


Thanks to my roommate and another friend we had that pulled out in under 30 mins. Never done it this way....

So, tonight it goes back in!

[zenkiset]

nice to see progress on this thing again!

[shoguner]

http://i.imgur.com/8JCCv2K.png?2

Will be finishing up the car tonight. I would like to test drive it Sunday.

Ain't she a purty one.

[badass8]

I need to get started on this swap already, nothing but win.

[shoguner]

Well,
I am pissed.
I took it out to go test it out.
It's misfiring pretty bad, maybe thinking its a water temp sensor.

BUT it started to leak oil pretty badly from the cam seal in the front.
Event is Saturday and i work this week.
Don't know if i will be able to get it finished.....

We had a 2 day event over the weekend.

THe exGF and I painted the car a pretty rad green.
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u216/shoguner91/10483929_10152229763986365_2461307869281388140_n_z psvnh3s2em.jpg (http://s169.photobucket.com/user/shoguner91/media/10483929_10152229763986365_2461307869281388140_n_z psvnh3s2em.jpg.html)es it's spray paint.
Next paint will be a nicer paint, but i need new front fenders, hood, bumper, doors, side skirts, and rear bumper, first.

Event was awesome. SO HOT THOUGH.

Going to be making a box so i don't have to build a whole fire wall.

http://www.diyautotune.com/images/cars/project_cars/240sx/11/tn/diy_240sx_11_14_small.jpg

Got the idea from the DIY autotune land speed car!

I have been toying with some ideas for a hydro.
This car is strictly a drift car never sees the street or any other kind of event.
So Instead of having a separate caliper i am going to unhook the rear brakes from the system and install them into a hydro handle.

While im doing that i am going to be doing a brake booster delete, upgraded master, and upgrading to z32/r32 front brakes.
I have a few people saying this should work pretty well.

While drifting if I am left braking, having the rear brakes doing anything is just going to be holding me back a tiny bit.

So i am curious to see how well this works. If not what i do is totally reversible.

[Clutch Dog]

would be an interesting set up, with the rear brakes disengaged under normal track day situations of heavy braking the cars tail would/should come out from under you, but as a drift car you can use the hydro ebrak to correct that

I opted for 07 sti brembo's front and rear on the car's mainline system with a brake booster, and bought maximum motorsports dual rear caliper assembly and ran the stock rear as my hydro' ebrake caliper. bit more expensive but the car isnt just a drift whore, she's my toy and i want to be able to track her

I think i might not do this now.

I checked with Max, and they said their hydro is designed for z32 rear brakes.
So that is why it's not locking.

Im just going to do z32 all the way around and use BB delete and get a better master.

I didn't know MM had 240sx stuff, do you have a a link to that?

I need to update this. i finished my fuel cell.
Also my car caught on fire haha. (two unrelated)

[shoguner]

So,
Finished the fuel cell.
Grandpa helped me make a box.

Ah so nice.

Also,
Found out my PS pump was, i changed it anyway though. It was my hose that melted and leaked everywhere, It was super rad.

So, ordered Earl's fittings HP steering hose. very nice, I was able to route it under the engine and away from the headers.

We then went to idaho for a 2 day event.
Love this track.
I headed up with FD driver Brandon wicknick and FD licence holder Mike fulkerson. (you will see them driving in the video. Mike was in a 250ish hp Ka-t).
We showed up late about 5 haha.

Had a blast though.

Had a few problems with some wiring being loose.
Then running out of fuel.
Then my fuel filter being clogged.
Fixed all those issues. Car was running PERFECT, faster than it ever has been.

Then my friend and I were drifting when he spoted a fire near his feet (he could see it through a hole in the fire wall, which i need to patch haha.

I think it was a rubber hose that melted and caught fire, but now, I am thinking it might of been part of the power steering hose that caught fire.
Anyway, that melted the fuel line which fed the fire.
I was able to get it out in time. Thank fully i had a fire extinguisher in my car.
DO NOT EVER DRIFT WITHOUT ONE!!!!

Minimal damage. Fuel lines and some wires, main harness appears to be fine.

Anway,
Here is a video made by Hector, cheggit. Im in there a few times, you can hear the cutting in and out from the wiring. Also the fire haha.

This is what I am going with when I get my 1uz up and running.

Josh Lowell is the maker of these brackets. Stock s13 brakes at their stock location while adding a Wilwood part # 120-9687 Caliper. His brackets are $75 which includes both brackets and shipping.

It's a steal in my opinion.

Got the relays all hooked up. New fuse block.
Don't know if you can see, this fuse block has a grounding buss. Super helpful with relays.
I can link what i got here, if ya'll want.
I used 2 blue connectors from the s13 chassis harness, so this is more removable, instead of just spade connectors.

Tomorrow, i will work on the switch panel.

[shawn1331]

Why do you keep going throw motors? any ideas? I always thought 1uz's were reliable as anything. Theres a guy local here been running one for the last 2 years, never rebuilt it or anything and he beats on it. Learned reverse entrys near the end f the year, turboing it this season.

Did he jyst get lucky?

Why do you keep going throw motors? any ideas? I always thought 1uz's were reliable as anything. Theres a guy local here been running one for the last 2 years, never rebuilt it or anything and he beats on it. Learned reverse entrys near the end f the year, turboing it this season.

Did he jyst get lucky?

No,
It is mostly my dumbass.
First year I had the cooling hoses backwards. Never got much cooling.
Second year. Some idiot told me these only used 4 quarts of oil and i never double checked. So, the last event, i changed the oil, but only put 4 quarts in.

These engines are VERY resilient. I drifted a full day on 4 quarts of oil.

[shoguner]

Got my switch panel done.

I added these plugs.
WIll make it easy to take out, if necessary.

[shoguner]

Yey, more boring wiring.

Well, first off, my trusty butane soldering iron died.
It won't heat enough to melt solder, so i have been heating it up with a torch haha.

Bought a new weller.

It's a little TOO powerful, oh well.

I drew up this diagram awhile ago, it has been what i have been using. I need to go back and edit it.

I just trucked away at soldering and matching up wires tonight.
I am excited, this is going to turn out nice. So much better than all the crappy stock wiring harness.

I did crack the plexiglass sheet i made for the relays, kinda pissed about that... oh well.

Now, I need to learn how the brake switches work.

[shoguner]

Did some more wiring.

Looking good!!

[shoguner]

Nice work mate :D

Looking good!!

Thanks!!!

I am trying to do everything right this time so, in the future, I hopefully won't have another stupid problem.

[shoguner]

Ugh,
having some issues with my clutch not disengaging.
My clutch fork is only moving 19mm.
Is that normal?

[shoguner]

So,
I did things today.

First, tried every stinking think to get that clutch to work.
Nothing works. I think my bellhousing isn't milled down enough. Ugh if only i would of done things right in the first place.

Put my old clutch back in, might work for 1 event, might work for the year. Not pulling it, until it slips.

Got the engine in.

Made a list of things to get done by thursday.

I did a few of them tonight, but added a few too.

Truck needed a much needed brake job and a new tie rod.
Turned the rotors.

Cut my radiator support out.

I just used some round bar stock from lowes to get this going.
I want to do a full tube front eventually, so i didn't want to waste too much time on it.

Hey shoguner, im back from being underway for so long. I have my 1uz out on an engine hoist right now.

how much material did you have to grind from the trans bellhousing

what do all the connections to the intake manifold go to

i saw you blocked off your ISC so how does the car idle?

and got any pics of how you ran your fuel lines? power steering lines and brake booster lines?

How ever thick your adapter plate is.

I am not sure what you mean?

i saw you blocked off your ISC so how does the car idle?
Ya i blocked off my iacv, it went bad anyway. Idles great, just adjust your throttle body so it idles at a decent rpm, you will have to let it warm up before it will do any thing. You might have to keep the throttle open for a few secs upon start up.

and got any pics of how you ran your fuel lines? power steering lines and brake booster lines?
i will get some tonight. I just grabbed two of the banjo fittings on the back of the intake manifold and put them on the fuel rail, then i ran the pump to one side and the FPR on the other side at 35 or so PSI.
power steering line is a custom hose from summit, check this thread out, it is in there somewhere.
brake booster goes to the rear of the intake.

[shoguner]

Holy shit guys!!!

Everything is all hooked up.
Cranked it with out spark plugs and the fuel pump turned off to prime the oil.
She climbed up to 55psi and fell and held at 40psi.

I think everything is good to go.
I am useing 6qts of rotella 15-40w diesel oil, plus a bottle of lucas zinc adder. As i have read, this is a good way to do it.

I will have a video up tomorrow!

[Clutch Dog]

Thanks I figured out the idle as well as the fuel and the other lines. im just waiting on the summit parts..

Fries had them on his page of what parts to get the power steering connected. Ill have to re'look at the idle thing a bit. I have an aftermarket ecu so i could run the stock ISC valve.

Will be getting the hood and fenders on tomorrow, then onto the trailer.

[shoguner]

p4QBlTqrTto
So....
Last Tuesday it had 40psi of oil pressure while cranking with no plugs to prime the engine.
Wednesday, start it, it has 0 oil pressure (as the gauge says).
Take off the sensor, oil pours out while cranking. (Must have oil pressure, right? See video.)
SjX6yAmomwM
Let it idle for 30 mins to seat the rings.
Drain oil, put 6 qts and new filter back in. Only got about 5 or so quarts out. So, it had to be pumping oil somewhere.
Thursday buy new gauge and sensor.
0 psi still, take off sensor, no oil squirts out.
So I took the filter off, and then filled it up about half way. Cranked it, oil pumped out. So take filter off. So, i think air must be pumping?

I'm super confused.
I'll be taking off the oil pan this weekend or sooner to see if the oil pick up tube has somthing wrong with it.

[shoguner]

So,
fixed the oil issue.

Traded the engine swap for a mitata. realized how dumb miatas are. Sold miata. Bought M3. drove m3 for a year. M3 broke. Bough 2014 q50. Lived life for a bit. Then picked up e36 and am now putting a 5.0 in it.
