S13 Forever Build and 14 Daily

[GUZZLE7]

Im just going to start this with a brief description of myself. My name is Cody Loe I started this first build when i was 19, which was just shortly after I got into 240s. I absolutely love all forms driving but one most in particular. God has blessed me with a lot of amazing friends, family, and the greatest passion in the world: Drifting.

Im going to start from the very beginning. My first build was decent I started with a cheap shell from my buddy Derek and $3500 to put into it. Im still learning so if you have any advice or suggestion please feel free to give me your input. The thing i love most about cars and drifting is there is always room for improvement. Also, im not in this just for myself I love the drifting lifestlye and every one in it, so if you have any questions on anything i did or need any help dont be afraid to ask ill try to answer them to the best of my ability.

Heres what i started with (so sorry the first few pics absolutely blow i took them with my crappy broken iphone, but i promise they get better now im using my new crappy broken i phone)

Very straight body which is what first turned me on to the car. obviously everything else looks like a$$. I really just wanted something completely built with my owns hands because you cant trust anyone elses work on a 240.

I started sanding down the engine bay and welding in all the holes on the fender wells and cut the battery box out and welded in a plate. I couldnt stand all the random butt holes everywhere and i Wanted a really smooth clean engine bay. and i apologize these are the pictures that look like i took them with a potato under water.

I undercoated the whole underneath the car and fender wells you can sorta see it in the pic. I recomend it on every car super easy and cheap and it helps with dirt not getting in your eyes when your working under the car. it also helps if u clean every part with a tooth brush like me then paint it but i dont recomend that if you ever plan on drifting soon.

Then you know what happens when you buy a used motor from japan and drive the crap outa it... ROD KNOCK :wtc:

YES i cried myself to sleep for weeks. But i sucked it up and decided to sell the motor and start over with an s14 sr. Why u ask? I have no idea so just dont ask.

Starting all over. heres this mess of metal. it came with 555 cc injectors tuned eliminated maf with a map sensor. i soon found out buying a tuned motor on ebay is a terrible idea.

Everything was coming together i finally got it fired up and has some issues with the whole tuned ECU deal tho. It came with the Map sensor but didnt come with an air intake sensor so i went crazy trying to figure it all out, so i finally bought my own intake air temp sensor and wired it in to where the other one looked it was wired. lol i also bought an AEM true boost, terrible choice but its cool. i accidently boosted it to 30 pounds a couple times while testing it. finally ran it at 16 pounds and it ran the best there. such a terrible unorthadox way to do it ill never buy an already tuned motor again. it was fast tho

Ended up buying an apexi because i still couldnt get it running perfect

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/codyscool/IMG_8730.jpg (http://s3.photobucket.com/user/codyscool/media/IMG_8730.jpg.html)

[GUZZLE7]

So I signed up for a track day at Thunderhill and i had two weeks to get my motor tuned and all ready to go. I plugged in the apexi and wired everything in then brought it down. They pulled 300 Hp and 295 Tq out of it and finally got it running smooth.

The weekend of the event came and i Got all my tires together and bought some spare rims. Picked up my trailer and i wanted to take it out for one last run up and down the street before i put it on the trailer. Then BOOM! I lose all my power and smoke starts dumping out the tailpipe. Motors toast oil all over my engine bay. The night before the track day.

Hole in the Piston, cylinder 1. Tell me what you think this looks like it has no signs of detonation or running lean. it literally looks like the piston flakes off.

So time to rebuild. Safe to say ive learned my lesson, no more buying used motors from across the world where some japanese man has already drifted the sh*t out of it. Any used motor i buy im just going to rebuild from the get go. So i just got some sleaves and ARP studs and im going to get send it off to the machine shop to get started. hopefully it will be done before next season.

Well in the meantime i need something to satisfy my vice so i picked up this s14 for $1000 from by buddy nick. hooked it up. it needs some work but the important part is the motor runs decent. im going to clean everything and make it a good running daily that i can get a little silly in the rain.

So i didnt plan on doing that much work i just wanted to do the 5 speed swap and maybe paint it but then my OCD kicked in and i started going crazy.

I bought all the stuff for the 5 speed swap. Bought coilovers and Energy bushings and the engine gasket rebuild kit.

finally all done puting the S One Four engine together. Replaced all the gaskets and seals, water pump, thermostat, and all the hoses. Replaced some sensors. Ported the intake manifold and fixed some serious coolant leaks because all my ports were rusting off. Everythings solid now hopefully ill have a good running motor that wont blow up any time soon. It was originally an automatic and it was shifting at like 5 grand at full throttle so this motor couldnt have been beaten on too bad but i think its been overheated a couple times. ohh wellll. Now hopefully ill have everything ready to drop it in next week. i want to put the body harness back in and get all the pedals mounted in because the car was originally an auto. so thats all project for next weekend

sorry for such a small update i havent had a chance to work on the car but this weekend im going to get a lot done on it. today i just spent a couple minutes getting the peddles ready to put in. had to weld a spacer on the clutch pedal where the studs go through the fire wall because i bought an s13 clutch pedal and s14 clutch pedals are almost the exact same but they have a 30mm spacer over both studs, where is on the s13 the spacer is on the fire wall .
i had some spacers lying around so i just tacked it on real quick then cleaned up the pedals. i guess u could just stack up washers but i just cant get myself to stack washers

I also wanted to say RIP Paul Walker. My passion for cars began the minute i sat down in the movie theatres at the age of 10 and watched the first Fast and The Furious. I wouldnt be the way i am today if it wasnt for that first spark at 10 years old. Pah i think i originally wanted an automatic mustang before that... So Thank God for Paul Walker and Fast and The Furious 1, otherwise id probably be driving a piece of crap mustang right now.

I just cleaned mine up. you can buy better axles on frsport.com but they are pretty expensive. or you can buy new oem ones on ebay for cheap but idk how good the quality is.

So it was time to put the trany and motor together and slap that b*tch in. i just bought a stock exedy clutch and light flywheel. The KA's factory 160 hp (or whatever it is) couldnt even slip a bar of soap, so i wasnt really worried about buying a beefy clutch

Finally all in and complete. everything is new. every gasket and seal replaced. Manual swapped. new clutch and light flywheel. Intake and exhaust manifolds ported and polished. Full tune up: New plugs,wires,cap,rotor,fuel filter,all fluids,all new hoses,new sensors, etc. new brake master and clutch master. steel braided clutch line and new slave. basically everythings new or freshened up. Ok so i had some funky problems when i first fired up the motor. it would run good for a minute then it would start dumpin smoke out the exhaust and dripping oil from the exhaust manifold and start runnin like dog shit. obviously it was burning oil or gettin oil in the exhaust some how. i was scratchin my head trippin out for an entire night i couldnt understand how that much oil was getting in the exhause. I checked my compression and it was a perfect 190 psi in all four cylinders. i tried plugging off my PCV and changed nothing. Then i remembered that my exhaust was sitting outside for months in the rain and a bunch of leaves blowing around it and its the oem exhaust. So i thought maybe my exhaust is plugged and creating a bunch of back pressure causing an abundance of blow by in the cylinder and forcing oil up out of the crankcase and into the cylinder. sounded farfetched but i had tried everything else already and still scratching my head so i said Fudge it and pulled my exhaust and fired it up. It ran perfect! super loud with no exhaust obviously but it idled smooth and didnt blow any smoke. so im going to need to make an exhaust now. but my motor runs good. now time to get the inior back in and take it for a spin.



New capet yo. lol trying to straighten it out
