click on the " 91 coupe" it was taken last weekend since then I install Apexi S-afcII, and as soon as project Nissan ship me my power enterprice boost controller I'll be getting somewhere.
The gold hatch is my old car which is sold to my buddy ( we dynoed it last weekend for 189.6whp on dynojet with 12.5 a/f ratio on pump gas @ 13 psi, with nothing but 3" dp,3"cat, and Trust 3" exhaust, SMIC and SrT25).

The red S14 is my lil bro, and the red coupe is mine...let me know what u guys think.
yes, u can move this to picture thread if u need to. thanks C

nice front lip... :wiggle: where everdid you get it? lol looks good man.

[liv2drift045]

yea why didnt u get a ka koyo (or whatever brand u bought)...anyway...clean bay..woot for ca's

[Loofee95SE]

thanks for the good reviews guy, as u all know Zilvians a some tough critics. anyway the reason it got the Ka Koyo radiator on is because " they sent the wrong one" and it will cost me $$ to sent it back and forth. but it will be fix soon. thanks again. C

[sLiDewAys]

constructive criticizm is the only think majority of us do, then we have punks like makoto and such. hermmm who just down everyone n try their hardest to make u feel as badd as possible. but hey keep up the good work man. i hope to see u stick with this motor, its an up and comming respectable motors, its jsut gona take a while for the sr gusy to realize it OWNZ:)

[Loofee95SE]

I've been with the CA for the past 2 years now, and love it more and more each day ( maybe thats the reason why I quite dating lol -_-"")...and I just now got started. but yes it does OWNZ. thanks C

thnx,
The turbo mani is working out good, it fits but Problems running the breather hose or filter, had a braded line which caught fire, so i gotta figger something out for that, one the pipes is like 1mm away from the V.C. and one bolt is impossible to get too, Other then that no prob it works good, changes nice colors gold silver and blue..

My setup is Full engine back exhaust 3"s all the way back from the turbo dump, no cat. walbero 255 fuel pump, custom FMIC, ApexI bov, running a new type of plug called e3 gonna see how it works, stock 10lbs of boost for now, Battary relocation kit, pretty much it alot of money on MIST parts to get it running right, the CA is by no means a easy swap, the shop went threw 3 CAs till we got one that was good. Clutch fan...this thing is expencive, i've droped 8k into it, I need to let the cash collect again, electric fans are cheap but i'll deal with the clutch fan for now lol. I wanna get everything installed, conversion, etc..

personally, CA is the easiest out of them all( ca, ka, sr,rb) smallest engine with the most working space.. which is why i did it myself and do all my own work on it:). nice car but i find it hard to believe you've spent 8k on the motor alone... thats a TOMEI genesis motor hehehe :duh:

[dvdevo]

maybe he bought everything at full retail price? :dunno: Ca isnt easy, that damn crank sproket is a bish to get off =x

[Loofee95SE]

I don't think I have 8K in my car!!! and thats everything included!! damn, did u pay some body to install it for u??

nah 8k in the car, the CA cost me 4400k to get it all running with the FMIC, Turbo mani , fuel pump, Bov, the motor, labor, auto to manual conversion etc.. the rest of the 8k is suspension, body mods like the conversion, with the fiberglass fenders the front k's bumper and facial i bought, bomex sideskirts etc..

haha i see that you also did the sr cold pipe conversion with the extra pipe that was cut. i havent used the hot pipe yet becasue i need ot modify it for the new turbo. ca looks good man.keep up the good work...

[Loofee95SE]

I'm using the Greddy S14 FMIC kit, the only thing i had to do was the lower hot pipe that I had to cut out about 2" and rotate it and it will all fit into the right position. I'll be upgrading the Hot pipe in Dec, right now I just need to Dyno tune it @ the end of this month. Thanks for the good reviews. C

[liv2drift045]

and why clutch fan?? get rid of it man..C

actually the clutch fan setup WITH fan shroud cools very well...upgrading the radiator is still a good idea of course...e-fans are nice but not always a necessity(sp), tho they are a good idea...

CLEAN ca.... wish mine was that pretty lol... i hear ya on the breather hose...i burnt my stock one up cuz my dumb ass didnt notice it was touching the manifold lmao now my manifold has a ugly burn spot

[Ghettokracker71]

HOT SHIT!!! Too bads it not a hatch :doh:

[Loofee95SE]

hahaha, if u r where i am?? the hatch is plentyfull, it is the coupe that is hot here in the South east.
but more ca guys need to post their pics and set up. C

[Secretsquirrel]

It will be going in the car in January. I just need to wait til my school money comes in on Jan 3rd so I can round up the last few items.

[mutkung]

^^^nice^^^

[sLiDewAys]

time and effort pays off. but what pre-instal. maint. did you do to the engine when you say "BUILD UP" currious.

[ReLevent1]

http://www.escic.com/240sx/rebuilt.jpg

Damn that motor is helluh clean. It looks brand new. Is the intake manifold new? or did you just clean it up? :drool:

[boosteds13]

I don't know if this was directed at me, but here goes....

block hot tanked
plateau honed
crank ground then micropolished with new bearings
new front cover/oil pump
head cleaned and resurfaced
new valve stem seals
hand-lapped valves
t-belt idler
t-belt tensioner
crank sprocket
CP Forged Pistons (stock bore, stock compression ratio)
Cometic metal headgasket
ARP headstuds
Every single gasket has been/will be replaced

That's it really. If I find a good deal on some 272 cams I might throw those in before the motor gets dropped.
