hpipro4 s13 ka-t build

[hpipro4]

well i've been on here for a while but never really made a build thread so here it goes...i do have an s13 wire tuck thread.

my 1st car.... my 1st build. all works done by me with my own bare hands and lotza sweat & hardwork! started back in 2008 and my build has been ongoing.....

car is a 92 s13 salvaged title lol bought off a chick that drifted it. cost me 2600 which i now realized i overpaid for it! needed new tires and a/c compressor was hanging. brown interiors with welded diff lol

1st day i got the car.....

Looks amazing dude, love seeing your progress

[S13x88]

Saw this build thread over on ka-t, love it! I remember seeing your wire tuck thread, I'm extremely jelly of the cleanliness of this build. I'm currently working on a ka-t build right now. Question though, you said you built your own coolant overflow tank; where did you buy that little side sight? The one on my circuit sports broke.

[hpipro4]

Awesome build
Question though,
Would you care to shed some light on how you utilized the stock s13 e brake cables with a z32 ebrake set up??

i tig welded my own bracket out of 304ss 3/4 flat bar. was rushing forgot to take pics. wen i go underneath again ill snap some pics

i bought a cheap catch can on ebay and it came with it. mcmaster should have some. their airline fittings.

mine are similar these fittings http://www.ebay.com/itm/FIVE-Push-In-One-Touch-to-Connect-Fittings-1-4-OD-1-8-NPT-90-Elbow-MettleAir-/310443530429?pt=Pneumatic_Hydraulic_Valves_Parts&hash=item4847e058bd

[bataangpinoy]

good stuff man, love the build.

[hpipro4]

not much update! talked to my machinist and went over few stuff on whats going to be done to block. head and crank. im not used to having someone do the work for me but machining is abit much too to get into...lol

anyways.....spent my thursday and rest of fridays electroplating tons of oem nuts, bolts, brackets.

im using a caswell copy cad

this my 1st electroplating and im very pleased how they came out!

1st thing i do with the nuts and bolt are bead blast em with either aluminum oxide or glass bead. i degreased em using caswell sp degreaser powder mixed with distilled water and heat up to 140-160f then soak 5-10mins. then they go on acid bath till the fizzing stops.

heres some nuts and bolts soaking on distilled water before plating to prevent rust flash.

got to file fit the top rings @ .018 although, i wanted the bottom ring to be at .020 well that isnt the case. unfiled 3 of the rings had ring gap of .022 & one was right fileable. any thoughts why this would be? could wiseco sent me the wrong rings???or my machinist bored it out too much but i doubt it. i moved the rings around to see if they made any difference but it was the same 3 rings @ .022 and 1 @ tight cant remember exactly.

P.S. you have alotta potential man, so did you have any mechanical experience before this or did the S13 force it? You gotta try to get in a shop if you already don't work at one.

Great stuff man keep it up you will go places. I took autoshop in highschool too, my dad had a bunch of mud trucks growing up we always worked on as well. I only worked in junkyards and a shop that installed stereos, systems, big rims and lift kits. Hopefully after my KA-T build I can use it as a driving billboard of my work and get in a performance shop. Anyway you're doing it right man you get props bro!

not much update but finally done with valve adjustment. ordered few shims frm my local nissan dealer and took at least a week to get 6 shims. then i needed more for the exhaust side so i ordered some frm nissanparts.cc actually got them quicker than my local dealer considering their in Washington.

Mayne this thread delivers!!! Amazing attention to detail! Will keep an eye out on this thread for sure.

I will be doing a solid cali legal build soon too. I can't wait to see what you do with that one. Can you tell me about your interior though? Where did the door trim come from? Also the climate control module. Keep up the good work.

Did you just reupholster the door? Looks good enough to be an aftermarket part.

[ferrariowner123]

Can you post more on the powder coating oven?

What are you planning on using for a heating element and sealing it? Surely rivets cant be enough?

Thanks

[ka-titties]

you dropped some serious coin on welding accessories. where'd you get it all from? 2% lanthinated ftw.

[killer240]

I'm jelly about that oven, you should make your money back with ease

got em frm Mississippi Welders Supply (http://store.mwsco.com/storefront/Home) but noticed when i got my package they came frm this guys Welding Supplies - Not all Welding Supply Stores are created equal (http://www.weldfabulous.com/default.aspx)
not sure why but their the cheapest i found with ckworldwide stuff. customer service wasnt so good at 1st but when they replied it went smooth after that.

the welding table i bought off summit racing since i had 20off.

i got excited for a second because i'm in mississippi and i can't find any good supply stores. come to find out, all of their locations are in iowa, minnesota, and wisconsin... :(

[hpipro4]

havent been productive lately with the build but guess you could say i got some work done!

checked the head mating surface for flatness, its good no warpage. thinnest feeler gauge i had was .0012" and used starrett 380-24 straight edge.
http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/7572/t884.jpg (http://img513.imageshack.us/i/t884.jpg/)

looks like i need to replace all the exhaust guides. checked valve deflection using dial indicator and they average around .015" oe limit is .008". intake side are around .005" so their good.
http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/5898/y5ry.jpg (http://img401.imageshack.us/i/y5ry.jpg/)

was going to make a DIY valve spring compressor but found this on amazon for a decent price made by neiko. its a universal and already tried it out and its works good.

What's up man, you drop that engine yet?

[mex lex]

Quite a build! Congrats

[irritatedmax]

Looking like a great build for sure.

I just skimmed through, but only saw the picture of the block back from machining. Did you have them deck the front timing covers when they did the block? Like take an equal thickness off of all parts. If not, you'll have a leak there where they meet. Just wanted to check before you get it all back together.

[davirene]

Great work....how did your motor perform with the enthalpy rom tune.

I am debating on going this route.....

Enthalpy is about as respected as it gets in terms of rom tunes. I'd use one without hesitation.
