My KA-T build 91 & E85 Daily driver S14

[2.5T_/<ouki]

Thanks for viewing my thread :mrgreen:

This will be my first time tackling the KA-T project so any and all advice is welcome. I've had stock KA's, SR20's, and RB25s so this should be a fun time. It will more than likely be a slow build/process, however I will upload the thread with pictures whenever I do get a chance to work on the motor. Picked up my s14 rolling shell (with complete motor) non running about a month and a half ago (10/15/2015).

Picked up up a long block today for $100 and brought it home. Owner stated it had a water pump failure which caused it to blow the HG; I didn't mind as I will be rebuilding the block. My goals for this is going to be 400whp on E85 as my daily driver. Hope to have a dual tune for 91 & E85 as 91 is the highest here, besides the E85, however it's not always the easiest to get. Luckily for me I have 2 E85 stations both within 5 miles from me so I shouldn't have a problem, it's when I travel in the car it may become an issue.

Parts I plan on using for the build:
- Clevite main & rod bearings
- Wiseco 9.0:1 90mm pistons
- Eagle connecting Rods
- Felpro engine gasket set
- OSK Timing chain kit
- OEM Nissan oil pump rebuild w/ rebuilt regulator
- OEM Nissan water pump
- Felpro KA24DE engine gasket kit
- 97' KA 5speed Tranny
- XTD RB flywheel
- ACT RB HD street clutch kit
- JGS Rubber motor mounts
- JGS Rubber tranny mount
- Aluminum radiator

One thing I haven't decided yet is the turbo I'll be using for this build. I plan on going the stand alone route as far as engine management goes, however if I end up not being able to fit it in the budget I'll more than likely go Nistune/Nismotronic.


HAPPY BUILDING!

Not much of an update, however I did remove a few of the accessories that were on the block. I was planning on removing the head today but didn't get a chance to pickup the socket sizes that I needed. More than likely tomorrow or this weekend when I've got more free time. Had to replace thermostat and thermostat housing on wifes POS Ford Focus.

SORRY FOR THE CRAPPY PICS. IT WAS DARK IN MY GARAGE AND ALL I HAD WAS MY HEADLIGHTS LOL!

Started yanking these off the engine bay/motor today. Not too much time as I had other things to get done around the apartment before tackling what I did. So, pretty neat to see the KA with a huge hold in the block ;).

Will also be doing a 5 speed swap to my car as it's an automatic! Picked up a 97' KA 5speed Transmission. I don't have $1k to fork out just for a z32 tranny mount KIT, plus the z32 tranny, PLUS clutch/flywheel kit. So, with my power goals, I'm hoping it'll last me a while before It blows lol (if it does).

Dropped the block off at the machine shop today after work. :mrgreen:
Will be getting hot tanked, honed, and bored to 90mm. I don't plan on having the block/head decked as I am going to go with the felpro kit. I was leaning towards cometic however decided to go with felpro engine gasket kit.

More presents came in the mail for me today! :D

I got the head pulled off of the s14 KA today as I was planning to use the s14 head on the s13 block assuming the 14 head would be in better condition. Overall warpage I have not checked and I'm purely going off of looks, but the s13 head looks to be in much better shape than the s14 head.

I've noticed one of the exhaust valves is not seating correctly and could more than likely be bent. I will find out fully once I remove all of the valvetrain. I will remove all of the valves on both the s13 & s14 head and compare. Id really like to stick with the OEM valves however I may purchase a kit of BC intake/exhaust valves.

the s14 KA has seen better days.....much much better.

Labeled all of the intake/exhaust shims as I was planning on using the oem shims along with the s14 head, however I am rethinking at the point.

As you can see here in this picture that cyl 3's rear exhaust valve is not seating correctly.

Here you can see the water ports in the HG are basically caked with dirty coolant/water/rust. This is another reason I'm skeptical about using the s14 head, even with a hot tank.

Had some time to work on the s14 while the block is at the shop. Will be purchasing new BC intanke/exhaust valves STD size for the head as well as get the head a valve job. The s14 dashboard is toast; it's so sun banked it crumbles like crackers lols. I'll be in the market for a new one in good condition pretty soon. I removed the dash today so I could get to the firewall more easily. I've done a 5 speed swap without moving the dash/bar and it's a real PITA.

Here is the "stencil" that you'll drill for the clutch pedal/master cylinder.

I was gonna say, make sure you mark your valve buckets before pulling them, I made the same mistake and now I'm paying extra to have a machine shop do my whole head and get it right. By the way, how did you pull the cams without undoing the bolt in the front to get the sprocket off and relieve tension on the timing chain? I am for sure subbing to this build thread since you're doing almost identical build as me with similar power goals. I recommend a different clutch however, I bought a used exedy clutch and aluminum flywheel and had a local shop rebuild it, for 300 dollars I have a clutch that can handle 400+ hp reliably:) and with 660 injectors and a disco potato turbo kit you could see 400hp, that's just the route I'm going though I also have 8.8:1 comp pistons, by the way don't forget s13 and s14 ka heads have different comp ratios.

You recommend me going a different route on my FW/clutch? Also, clutches are rated in TQ not HP, and the ACT clutch kit I got is rated I believe somewhwere around 500ft-lbs TQ so I'm good in that department, plus it's a 250mm FW/clutch disc. Honestly, I think the chain was just stretched as It was pretty easy for me to remove once I removed the lower chain tensioner. I will be using my S14 KA head on the S13 KA block with 9.1:1 pistons. Yes, I labeled each one of my valve shims so I know exactly where they go so I don't run into that problem :kiss: . I havent decided yet if I want to go top or bottom mount turbo setup. If I go bottom mount, I'll be going with either codyace SR to KA manifold w/ 44mm external WG welded or Tomei's new cast manifold; I will pair either manifold with a GTX2867r. If I go top mount, I have no idea which manifold/turbo setup I want. I'm looking for a reliable 400whp DD.

[2.5T_/<ouki]

Swapped out the bent valve that was in the s14 head for a good straight valve from the s13 head as I will be using the s14 head on this build. Also did notice that it looks like one of the water ports on the head which meets the block is either VERY VERY clogged or doesn't exist?

Oh, hello there valve seal!

Here is the bent valve compared to the good one it was replaced with.

Picked up my block and head from the machine shop today (11/24/2015). Gotta say it looks pretty good :D; can't wait to start putting it back together. I had the block bored & honed to .040 over (90mm) and had both the block (removed .007) and head (removed .013) resurfaced. In doing so I made sure to also have the timing cover decked/resurfaced with the block, and had the upper cam cover done with the head. All parts were also hot tanked! :mrgreen: I'll be sure to get some pictures for you before I begin the install process.

Did some more work on the block today. Busted a newb move and snapped one of the piston rings. Need to order a new one and get this last ring gaped. Also got my RB20/25/26 XTD light weight aluminum flywheel, RB20/25/26 ACT HD street clutch kit w/ pressure plate. I am running .017 top ring and .019 bottom ring.

Had some free time today (11/28/2015) to play and got a decent amount of work done. Installed the clevite main bearings, dropped in the crankshaft 1st time (made sure not to spin it here as I was checking for clearances), and dropped in the ARP main studs. Also had some time to work on the head, so I replaced the exhaust side valve seals.

I have never done a motor rebuild only two stroke builds on blasters and dirt bikes, so this is a learning experience for me. I also need to get my timing cover decked before assembly.

Yes, make sure that you get the timing cover done with the block if getting it decked and the cam gear cover along with the head if resurfacing.

[2.5T_/<ouki]

I got the pistons in today! Only downside is that I can no longer turn the crank with the pistons by hand, at least a full rotations! :(
I get about 1/2 of a turn then it's REALLY tough; it's getting hung up on something and I'm guessing it's the thrust bearing (clevite). If i put a socket & wratchet on the crank it's pretty easy to turn with minimal to little effort.

Also painted the upper cam sprocket cover. Not sure if this is the color I will be going with or not, I'm basically 50/50 on it. It's aluminum finish.

[lalo167]

Very nice build. I'm doing the exact same bottom end build but also building the head. Do you plan on boosting?

[spooled240]

^^make sure your girdle is on the right way. My buddy installed his girdle on his VG backwards and it was very difficult to spin the crank.

[2.5T_/<ouki]

Thanks man! I thought about doing the head as well however it was not in the budget. Another thing that kept me from building the head was my power goals. I plan on 400whp boosted on E85 so a built head is not needed. And yes, I do plan on boosting :keke: . I want your manifold for my build ha!


^^make sure your girdle is on the right way. My buddy installed his girdle on his VG backwards and it was very difficult to spin the crank.

Thanks for the reply. Girdle is on correctly however clevite's standard size main bearings use a .15mm thicker thrust bearing which is retarded LOL. I have already sanded down the edges and it was able to turn a lot better.

I need to check end play and possibly sand more of the girdle side thrust bearing.

[dbeiler]

Did you use engine oil or assembly lube on the bearings during reassembly?
Did you apply engine oil to the piston rings or cylinder walls? It looks bone dry to me. I don't see a single speck of lubricant anywhere.

Do you still intend to use the factory thickness headgasket? .020" is an awful lot of material removed from your deck surfaces. Using a stock thickness headgasket with raise your compression ration up roughly .5 to 1 putting you back to the factory 9.5 to 1. Not a big deal but it defeats the purpose of using lower compression pistons.

It looks like the pistons will come awful close to smacking the quench areas on the head. Doesn't hurt to measure piston height. At TDC, are they sticking above the block deck surface? A thicker headgasket will remedy all those issues.

[dbeiler]

Have you figured out why the valve bent? I'm guessing valve float? Test the valve spring (better yet, replace it) before putting it back together. Reinstalling a fatigued spring will cause more bent valves.

Thank you for the reply. All those points are great and they too are ones I'm thinking about a lot doing this build. I did use assembly lube on all bearings; I like to clean off the lube on the parts it doesn't need it. The pistons do not stick out of the blocks deck surface at all and yes I do plan on using stock thickness as I'm using the felpro gasket.

Honestly couldn't tell ya. This s14 head is off the motor that is in the bay of the s14 right now. I purchased the car (s14 rolling shell w/ blown motor) about 2 months ago. Check the pictures up top.

Nice, I'm hoping to be in the 500's on E85 with a gt30. Are you keeping the oem fuel lines? Still undecided if I should run a bigger line to prevent problems in the future.
And it would definitely compliment your build!

Someday I hope to hit the 500's but we'll see. I read you also decided to build the head correct? Which head studs did you go with?

I plan on replacing the old rubber fuel hoses under the car that connect the gas tank to the hard lines with new rubber lines that are E85 compatible however I do not plan on replacing lines with ones of a bigger ID, oem fuel hose ID should be sufficient.

[KAT-PWR]

Good luck!

[partytron69000]

Would love to see your results from using NIStune. There used to be a licensed dealer/tuner here in Middle TN, so I'm wanting to go that route too, just with a little lower power goals.

Yeah, pretty much everything BC. I'm still not sure on what cams to run. and ARP head studs.

Still debating if this is the route I will be going. I would love to go the standalone route as my first choice however it's about twice the cost of Nistune lol.

Right on, so the standard 10mm ARP head studs correct? I know some guys go the 11mm route LM19's or something along those lines.

[2.5T_/<ouki]

Was able to get some free time today to do a little bit more on the build. Felpro head gasket went on today along with the ARP head studs.

I ran into a little problem when installing the ARP KA24DE head studs. The very front stud on intake side didn't want to sit as flush as all the others. I have removed whatever I thought could be blocking the threads and have verified that there is nothing in the hole blocking the stud from going all the way in. Has anyone else had this problem? I wasn't able to torque down the head as the 12mm 12-point socket I have works on all nuts/bolts EXCEPT the one which sticks up further. This requires a deep socket 12mm 12-point.

Also, just to confirm, the felpro head gasket DOES fit w/ .040 OVER (90mm) pistons. The gasket does NOT have any overhang into the cylinders; it fits it perfectly!

Had some time to get the timing chain on today. I went with the OSK timing chain kit. It's actually pretty heavy duty and OEM feel. Also in the process, one of my cam bearing caps' bolts snapped when I was torquing it to 8ft-lbs. FSM calls for 6.7-8.7ft-lbs TQ. I'll have to see about removing the snapped off part of the bolt from inside of the head another time.

Don't mind the timing marks

I liked everything besides the fried block you rebuilt. The parts everything looks good. Well thought out

Nice rebuild.
I'm following this build as a guideline because I'm about to do the same thing, so keep the pictures and updates coming....

Got a few more things done today. I was able to remove the snapped off section of the cam cap bolt from the head today, got the camshafts in, and was able to get the upper timing chain on. What I did to get the snapped off par was to drill a hole down the center of it, got a torx bit slightly larger than the hole I drilled socket with an extension, and was able to hammer the torx bit in carefully through the hole I drilled causing the teeth on the torx bit to grab the bolt. I was then able to loosen the bolt until it came right out.

Decided to swap out the 232 s14 intake cam and swap it with my s13 248 exhaust cam. Rotated the 248 cam CCW 3 teeth.

[bennett1]

Wish I had e85 in my area :(

Yeah i had some issues with the Clevite bearing also with my build did you happen to buy the bearings from FRsport?

[2.5T_/<ouki]

Yeah i had some issues with the Clevite bearing also with my build did you happen to buy the bearings from FRsport?

No I did not purchase from frsport. I actually bought them from a local guy unused unopened for $70 for both main and rod bearings. The Clevite thrust bearings come oversized .015mm thicker than should be even with their standard bearing size. What I did was sand the outter sides of the girdle side thrust bearing first with 400grit then finished with 1000 grit.

Nice method for removing broken bolt. I will remember that!

[2.5T_/<ouki]

Nice method for removing broken bolt. I will remember that!

Totally! I'm glad it honestly worked out as I thought I would have to spend more $ at the machine shop having someone remove it. Looks like I'll be back in this position with a different car LOL. Wife's motor mount bolts just snapped (yes both), which in turn, caused the passenger side axle/half shaft to rest against the chassis which basically ripped the CV boot making the axle useless lol.... FUN STUFF I gotta do within the next couple of days. Oh, and to top it off, I can only work on it at night. :picardfp:

Ha yeah ! That saying was def the case in my situation today. All is good now, got everything fixed today and with daylight (had to call off work).

Instead of sourcing those M12x1.75 studs, I just purchased hex bolts in that same thread pitch with about 40mm in length.

So this is what it looked like once I was able to remove the old beat up motor mount. Both studs had snapped off inside of the block.

Again, I was able to resolve this issue with the good ol' drill through the center and hammer a torx bit socket into it and loosen ;)

New OEM FORD motor mount installed today with the hex head bolts instead of studs. The OEM mount was about $100 more than the cheap vatozone one, however I was willing to spend the extra $100 for piece of mind as I've read the cheap vatozone brand blows out in about a month or less LOL!

[2.5T_/<ouki]

Front crank oil seal came in along with the clutch pedal spacer I was fortunate to find! I'm using the s13 clutch pedal which doesn't have the spacer spot-welded to it like the s14 clutch pedal, as its spot-welded to the firewall on s13. In order to use the s13 clutch pedal on an s14 chassis you either need to make 30mm spacers or find the OEM spacer lol.

OH! And I may have purchased my coilovers :). I went with Fortune-Auto 500 series coilovers with 7/6kg spring rates as this is my daily driver. Paid $1150 shipped to my door. These coilovers do have an estimated 3-4 week wait/build time as they are built-to-order.

Just curious what did the pump rebuild run you for the gears and pressure relief stuff?

New OEM Gears (15020-S13001) - $32
http://www.courtesyparts.com/oe-nissan/1502053f25

New OEM Regulator (15132-77A25) - $14
http://www.courtesyparts.com/oe-nissan/1513277a25

So about $46 + shipping. Not bad for peace of mind. :)

And I thought it was pretty darn funny so had to share. Buddy came over for me to take a look at his bov for him as he claims it hasn't been opening or working properly lately. So of course the first thing we do is check the shims inside of the bov as well as the spring to make sure everything is still good. Well, the shims were there of course, ALL $0.75 worth

Got a good amount of stuff done today. On a side note, does anyone have or know the part# for the oil pickup/strainer o-ring? I actually picked up an OEM Nissan oil pickup/strainer gasket as most the nissan motors use the same ID" pickup and center to center hole distance. Not sure if anyone has used this type of gasket here or not ? I'm just hoping it's air tight because if not, my oil pressure is going to suck :mrgreen: (no pun intended). It'll basically be like drinking out of a straw with a hole in it LOL. I'm thinking i'll be fine just thought I'd ask you guys.

Oil pan also went on today! This is the NA oil pan as I like to call it. I have a spare that I will be tapping/bunging for the turbo. That will go on once I'm ready to install the turbo AFTER the motor/clutch have both been broken in properly.

Thank you good sir !

What I went with was a 45* mild steel bung so when I weld it on it will be at the perfect angle I need so I don't get oil buildup from a low spot in the return line; Wouldn't want to starve the motor of its precious oil! Also, mild steel M18x1.5 (mm) o2 plug (bung plug) and M18x1.5 to -10AN fitting. This all but cost me $18.

sick pictures man! love see old ass blocks getting that fresh look. I'd use a sanding block and block the nissan logo to remove the paint so the words are shiney.

Thanks man. You know, I've thought about doing that with the sand paper, however I've decided I want it to be all black.

Installed the JGS Rubber tranny mount. Gotta say, it's a pretty beefy setup and I can't wait to try it out on the road! I've now owned the car 5 months and haven't been able to give it a wash LOL! It's been sitting in the garage and I've been working on it dirty. Planning on taking it to a pressure wash and getting the underside. (Didn't bolt the mount to the tranny in the picture). I advise that you pick up (3) M10x1.5mm locking nuts; one to fasten rubber mount to the cross member and (2) one for each side of rubber mount to transmission.

-- Drilled 7/16 size hole in the (center :angel: ) of the 2 factory mounting holes. This is where the M10x1.5mm studded rubber mount fastens to the cross member.

I got more goodies ! Got a text from my dad today that read "come over after work, I've got something for you". Show up, and what do you know?! He picked up a z32 N/A R200 VLSD for me! Removed the z32 axles and took the diff to the pressure was to clean it up nicely! Will be painted it to match the subframe/car. Also, will be changing the fluid to Redline GL-5 75W90. Picked up 5 bolt J30 axles for the diff.

I've been pounding away at the car and have gotten SUUUUPER close to being able to fire her up! I'd say within the next couple of weeks I should be golden! Here are some updated pics.

So, getting my intake manifold ready for boost as well, however I will be running it like this N/A also. I will be breaking in the motor N/A. Aluminum welding was getting pretty expensive, so I opted for the tap/plug option. I used 1/8"-27 NPT tap & pipe plugs. Came out pretty good :)

Had some time today to remove the s13 tranny that's giving me problems! Picked another one up last night in super excellent condition with all sensors, clutch fork, TOB, shifte, AND crossmember/mount. Decided since the tranny was already out I would drill the hole for the S14 crank angle sensor into the bell housing. Also flocked the dash.

Made my "template" for drilling the CAS. 9/16" back from end of bellhousing (where it meets the block) & 1" from nearest bolt hole.

Need to get some washers/spacers to raise the sensor up.
