My S13 project

[xPUNlSH3Rx]

Hello all,

I had been searching for a 240 for quite some time and many flaky guys that would always lie to me about theirs S13's but 2 months ago I found a local guy selling a coupe shell with full interior only missing the motor and transmission for $500.

I couldn't let it pass up specially with a great body and already being a 5 speed. Now I needed a motor and transmission, I always loved Nissan skylines so I was looking at the RB25DET but the parts list and availability was gonna push out my project way out, but 2 weeks ago a local guy had a built SR20DET for sale with some nice parts so again I had to pick this up.

Motor:
Black Top S13 SR20DET
Block bored and honed to 87.5mm
Line honed mains
Balanced and polished crank and rotating assembly
Clevite main and rod bearings
Eagle rods
Supertech 87.5mm forged pistons
Cometic 1.2mm metal head gasket
decked block
milled head
new OEM Nissan valves
Brian Crower valve springs and titanium spring retainers
circuit sport rocker arm stoppers
OEM rocker arms
Brian Crower 264* Stage 2 cams
S15 Oil pump
New OEM timing chain, tensioner, and guides
ISIS intake manifold
ISIS Cast oil pan
ARP main studs and head studs

Supporting mods and other parts:
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
ISIS 3" cat delete downpipe
Circuit Sports SS braided turbo lines
OBX racing intake kit
CX Racing big front mount intercooler
SARD fuel pressure regulator with Marshal fuel pressure gauge
Wiring Specialties lower engine harness
and other OEM gaskets and bolts

Parts ordered
ISIS 3" exhaust
ISIS aluminum radiator
ISIS dual fan and shroud kit

As of right now it has the stock T25 turbo and 370cc injectors until the motor is broken in some and I get used to it but t is capable of at least 350whp no problem.

What the fuck is the point of this thread in the TECH section?!?! This aint no damn show and tell. If you wanna show off, we got a damn Picture Thread in Chat. Do not make another thread like this, ANYWHERE.

Build Threads

Almost everyone enjoys building their cars and sharing that experience, as well as checking out others' builds for inspiration. Sadly, far too many users have a tendency to do half-hearted builds and either rarely update or update with trivial progress. In the interest of keeping the Chat forum clear of three hundred 'Install SR, ziptie aero, rattlecan paint' threads, incomplete, or in-progress build threads are not allowed. If you have completed your build, wrangle all those pictures into a post and tell us about it, but make sure the build is finalized. If you insist on having an in-progress build, Premium members have a specialized subforum for that specific purpose.
