I came across a S14 SR Head with valve cover for 50$. Decided to use it to make the S13.4 hybrid cover since I had a spare s13 cover already. If you don’t already know the reason for doing this is the upgraded internal baffling the s14 cover has over the s13. No need for a stock external catch can.
Since I do powder coating now I’m able to make all my metal parts look great. Wish I had access to this when first stating on this car !



Finally got around to rebuilding the R33 front brakes for it. Blue powder matching the valve cover.
All new hardware, pads, and braided lines of course





Since I’m installing the brakes my wheels will not clear them and a 7mm or so spacer will need to be added.
The problem is my wheel is already maxed out against my fender (camber maxed). To make extra room I have to tweak my set up.
I’m replacing my 2” extended control arms with a fresh set of 1.5” arms. This time they are tig welded! Of course I paint matched them the same black with purple flake the old ones were.



Will soon be installing everything and re doing the alignment

Awesome progress.

Its amazing that people don't understand how simple / relatively low cost a powder coating set up for small parts is. I have a handful of friends who do it in old home ovens. Typically having a blasting set up is the hardest part.

Tell me about it ... still trying to dial in my blast cabinet. Actual powder is super simple. I’m curing in a small cooking smoker

Hybrid valve cover and brakes are now on. Had the rotors turned but there already rusting since the car doesn’t drive anywhere haha
The new strut bar I’ll talk more on once it’s finished.




Had to replace the valve cover pcv valve with new




I learned that when doing this s13.4 valve cover conversion you’ll need to trim the RH rocker stoppers if your running them. Or else the cover will not fit due to it having a extra fin/baffle.
So instead of trimming the inside of the cover I decided to trim the stopper.
( notice how much is cut. After installing the cover take off your oil cap and inspect the cam does not make contact with the stopper due to the cover pushing downwards on it)
The stopper still works perfectly fine this way.




Only a couple more exterior things I have plans on doing to the car then it’s onto finishing the interior !

A while ago I was building a strut bar which I finished then down the road someone made a offer on it so ... I sold it. Here is the finished product

I felt the dimple plate down the middle didn’t flow with the rest of the car so I made another without it and CNC cut out the bolt ring to strengthen the entire thing
My intercooler piping was old work and didn’t aesthetically represent the quality work I do now so I redid it all !
Might be hard to tell at first but now has much less pie cuts and welds while the welds are much better than before


Finally got around to adding the intake to valve cover AN line too

Suprareal

That’s gotta be the awesomest thing said about this car! It’s inspirational being a inspiration haha
Reminds me of a time I was at a red light and a kid holding his dads hand in the crosswalk pointed at my hatch and said “daddy is that a race car ?”
