Behind Horizon

Hello guys,

it is a pleasure to me to watch your great projects which gave me a lot of inspiration so i decided to give you something back. I like you guys over here at this board as some of you are very crazy, just as i am.


I think its now my turn to inspirate you guys with my project and i want to introduce it to you, so enjoy it and write what you are thinking of it.


History:

I bought the car back in May '06 it is an '90 RPS13 200SX ,i bought the car without a engine but with a good transmission and a relative good
overall condition. The previos owner ripped the engine out of the car for other purposes.

On the same day i bought a totally damaged '90 S13 A/T but with an good 30.000 km engine in it which was replaced and completly overhauled by nissan.

After we took the engine out of the damaged car and all the good spare parts we brought the car to the scrapjard, so i had one less SX in my garage.

The project:

The car is build up primary for trackdays (grip driving), especially for drifting and for the nicest and curvyiest streets in Black Forrest (Germany).

Before we took care on the upgrading we first fixed all the damages 16 car years had caused. All rust was removed carefully and other little and big problem zones of the car was fixed.

First i want to say that i want the car to be technically superb and want to save the money for expensive bodykits and rims for the first time.

The engine is a full Stage III setup with some goodies i will concentrate on a very good torque curve and response and not on the peak horsepower.

The important thing for me is to do as much as possible by myself and to be as creative as possible whether then spending a lot of money on expensive Parts.

Changing the bushes:

Top Nismo, bottom OEM



Left OEM, right Nismo




Left OEM, right Nismo









Checking the bearings, they seem to be fine.






Power Coated parts:

My center console:

Custom Front OEM Drift Bumper:






Painted Number Plate Holder:



Assembled the engine together:




Washed transmission behind the selfmade Nismo Strut Brace.




Instruments wait for their final check to glue them on.




Modified Manifold:

Behind Horizon

Here you can see my selfmade Airguide for the Oilcooler and my selfmade RAM-AIR-System










Assembled the engine to the transmission. You can see here how the intercooler will lay in the engine bay. It will be a V-Mount setup.








Putting the engine to the place where it belongs:

Behind Horizon

My Selfmade Airbox for the Raim-Air-System:



Custom fenders with Alfa 156 indicators:





Sprayed the roof black:





Test fitting my rims, the new coilovers are in too:

Behind Horizon

We choosed to use an uprated twice as thick and with better rib design as the OEM watercooler, including 2 E-Fans and a thermoswitch.

(Actually swaped for a brand new unit as the old cooler was leaking)






The finished V-Mount Setup, mention the very very short IC -piping







My Drift Style OEM Hood with a air exit for the IC , ready to be painted black now

Behind Horizon

The airbox and its mounting is finished now + painting the engine cam covers. The hood is painted now black and we are working on the air guide for the V-mount. Also we managed to get the battery in the boot. More pictures will be posted in one week.



Update:

We changed the timing belt and the two rolls, also we put the CA16DE Cam in and checked/set the ignition timing.
The engine is running fine and is making a very very insane sound.

Also we relocated the battery to the boot due to place problems in the engine bay and weight balance. The battery
will be covered by a box soon. (Its the old battery sitting there)




The new water tank for the V-Mount Setup:




The mounted boost valve and bov:




The hood is now black:

Neejay

Wooooooooooooooow.

That's a HELL of a build man. Good job. You must have both a lot of money AND time.

Thumbs up.

Update:

The finished engine bay:







One piece of the air guides for the V-mount setup.:




lue Led's @ work, some Led's are not build in yet.






My fire Extinguisher-System:




This picture was taken after the first test-drive, the exhaust spit the complete back of the car black as you can see

Impressions:

S13FREEAAK

Nice work. I really like the front bumper.

Neejay

Are you going to paint the fenders red? I haven't seen an s13 with the whole top part being black (roof, hood, and light covers). That's cool.

I actually like the front bumper, but mainly because it's functional + stylish. If it were on a semi-stock S13, I probably wouldn't put it on (personally). Good job on that hood too. Before I scrolled up and saw where you cut it yourself, I thought it was aftermarket lol

Very Nice!

Originally it was planned this way:




But as the first german drift board opened a month ago i offered the guys to put a huge decal on it for promo reasons. I'll get a custom decal graphic soon which will cover the whole side of the car and it is looking brilliant.

wootwoot

You almost killed my computer. Great frickin work but I honestly wouldnt expect 500hp. Not with that turbo/injectors. Hurry up and get out there with a camera. I want driving vids.

wow great project man!! btw that front bumpers looks awesome! make sure to keep us updated!

Anto

Holy shit!

Quite a nice build, from the start to the finish in ONE post!

Haha the clutch is good for 500hp i dont meant my engine have 500hp. The clutch is a bit overrated for my engine but there are not many clutches for the CA18DET, so i bought this one.

I dont know how much hp my engine is producing but i guess about ~300 hp, as guys over here in europe have 280-300 hp with much less performance related parts in their CA18DET at Stage III.

Behind Horizon

I'll keep you guys updated !

It isn't finished right now, and i hope it wont ever be because this is where it starts to get boring .

Farzam

Lots of your pictures are not working now, but from what i've seen, you've built an amazing vehicle.
