RPS1392 · 03-17-2008, 08:18 PM

So this project of mine has been going on long enough. Figured I'd better get it done and on the road. Problem is, if I keep stopping to wire wheel the nuts and bolts, Ill never finish!

On with the Pics...

After Moving to the house.

JDM S14 brakes, can you say 30mm. I knew you could.

The shop boy at work (AKA my son Duncan)

Prep with the engine out

Primer...

Ive got Pics of the Sealer, but cant find em..

On with the Paint, and clear!!

awdfury · 03-17-2008, 08:30 PM

Very nice start!! Great color choice as well.

RPS1392 · 03-17-2008, 08:41 PM

Hold on, theres more...

Ive had that gallon of color for almost a year now. Always planned on painting it Diamond Graphite!

Starting reasembly.

Changing Fuel pump...

Old Stocker

New 255 Walbro

Parts yet to be installed.

RPS1392 · 03-17-2008, 08:48 PM

The rebuild kit there is misleading. I scrapped the rebuild Idea and bought this instead...

Good cat, likes the smell of new parts.

khilgers · 03-17-2008, 08:52 PM

nice build so far, keep up the good work.

RPS1392 · 03-17-2008, 08:57 PM

I'm not sure why the first image is a link in my view. Let me know if any of you viewing this post see the same, and I'll try to figure out whats up.

Ok, since I have an audience... More Pics!!!

The CS downpipe is pure art.

Since I have S14 spindles for S14 brakes, I need....S14 ball joints!

Taking off T25

New -4 oil fead line, and pressure restrictor/filter for upcomming S15-R T28

ByeByeSti · 03-17-2008, 08:57 PM

any more pics??? didnt really see any of the car itself or anything. post some more if you have them please

soon2bs13 · 03-17-2008, 09:12 PM

looks like fun... keep it up.

cbcustoms · 03-17-2008, 09:18 PM

Plus rep for you. Good job with the build so far

RPS1392 · 03-17-2008, 09:25 PM

In keeping with the holliday.

The rest of the car is still stock red...( I hate red!)

The entire rear suspension sub assy is out of a 92 R32 GTST. Thats how I got the rear five lug and big brake swap done all in one shot.

JRas · 03-17-2008, 09:30 PM

nice keep up the good work

RPS1392 · 03-17-2008, 09:30 PM

Heres a couple of shots of the car when first started.

Not much progress tonight. A lot of cleaning. Put the crossmember and front suspension back on. Sanded and buffed out some runs in the clear.

The lackeys helping me clean parts

MMM wire wheel + nuts and bolts = Shiney

Putting the steering rack back in with the new hard bushings

Me holding my end up

Nice and clean

Ready for new struts to show up, and the spindle to be put back on.

Tomorrow I will post the pics of the turbo install

IRN · 03-17-2008, 09:32 PM

what was misleading about the rebuild? nice work though.

RPS1392 · 03-17-2008, 09:47 PM

Original plan was to rebuild the T25...

Anyone want a T25 rebuild kit?

dirtdiggler666 · 03-17-2008, 09:57 PM

ill take it who made the kit??

dirtdiggler666 · 03-17-2008, 09:59 PM

oh is their a site where you can buy the cs downpipe?? it looks fucking rad as hell

shade · 03-17-2008, 09:59 PM

IRN · 03-17-2008, 10:52 PM

i just bought a rebuild kit today and seeing you said the rebuild kit or rebuilding in general was misleading, i was just a little curious. how so? and how much for the kit?

ant_s13 · 03-18-2008, 01:57 AM

as far as i can tell, he meant misleading in the context of his thread as he is not going through with rebuilding his t25, he is infact using a t28...

rb25_s13*CHUKI · 03-18-2008, 02:19 AM

Build is looking great.. Nice color's and nice choice with the hicas rear end... I also like that you let your son help... Get em started early so that by the time he's your age he will own u.. haha... Nice build

**mrmephistopheles** · 03-18-2008, 02:49 AM

Problem with your pics lies here:

/Project%20240/

Make that part:
/Project 240/

And you'll be set (gotta do it for every image though).

Yes, it is. I'm not crazy about the whole rear tie rod setup. Ive been thinking on fabricating up a set of links.

I looked at the spindle, and it seems I can just press out the tie rod end, and replace it with a bushing.

RPS1392 · 03-18-2008, 06:54 AM

Ok, some more pics on the turbo install. I'm going to test a couple of links to photobucket to see if I can get them to function.

A little of this goes a long way to keep parts from becomming unattached.

Installing the S13 adapters.

Installing the CS lines

Had to adjust the actuator rod so it wouldnt come in contact with the line.

Before:

After:

Turbo is mounted. Glad I didnt do this after the engine was installed.

jimmybahh · 03-18-2008, 07:25 AM

looks good, is that CS adapter so you can use your 3 bolt T25 inlet/outlet pipe on the 2 bolt T28

Not exactly. It rotates the compressor output to match up with the stock hotpipe an a S13.

EDIT: I have confirmed that each 1st pic conforms to the proper format. Not sure why each pic after the first works. Maybe one of the moderators could help.

JDMslide180 · 03-18-2008, 08:54 AM

very nice buil soo far man, Good luck with the rest.

Slidin240Wayz · 03-18-2008, 09:14 AM

Nice build thus far.

You installed this line incorrectly though.

You could have left the wastegate bar as-is, used the straight end on the turbo, and used the 90 at the block.

It looks like you will be stretching the hose, the way it shouldn't in order to fit the hotpipe outlet.

Won't fit either way...

Fits
