Beems S14 build up

[beems240sx]

Hey guys, been on here for a long time. ive had my S14 since i was 16 and learned all the ways to not build a car. i decided to restart from the ground up and do a total teardown for the 2013 season. i am long into the build and i am doing 95% of the work myself so its hard to take pictures of everything but ill do my best. this car will be my track slut! ill shut up and get onto the pictures :rolleyes:

i bought the car bone stock this picture was about a year ago. it was a stock sr20 with a holset, coils, and rotas. i thought i was the coolest kid in town.

thats basically where i stand as of last night. wish i had more detailed pictures of the process but between building this myself and doing customers its a lot to do! i will try and keep this updated as much as i can

[futures14drift]

going to be a good build. if your gonna do it, do it right the first time right?

[beems240sx]

Exactly my thoughts! Ill have to post pictures of all the rear quarter rust repair too. Got rid of the stupid pinch welds in the back and welded in plates

[Bro]

Love seeing homemade fabrication! You're lucky enough to a have a shop at your disposal, super jelly.:drool:

[beems240sx]

nothing too exciting. i used the hydraulic press and got the stance solid subframe bushings in, went in like butter with a press. i test fitted the subframe so i can make the boxed in braces for it. then ill redrop it and finish stitch welding/undercoating!

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p204/beemsmx6/subframe.jpg

also picked up a plasma cutter so i can easily get the passanger side tub done and make life easy

[Gleeso]

Some quality work you're producing, mate. Keep it up! :)

[S14Serge]

any more photos of the fuel cell?

[beems240sx]

No I don't have anymore. It's just an RCI 10 gallon from summit

[bc.]

Damn, looks good, a couple things though...

1) Thought this was gonna be a Beams swap... which would have gnarly to say the least.
2) You really like purple, allot.

Other than that, looks really good, what kind of power are you shooting for with this setup?

Haha hell no! Gotta stay nissan motor. Yeah purple is my favorite color. Honestly not sure on power levels. Probably around 500ish. But going to keep it on wastegate 14psi until I learn the car. Then crank it up later on

[beems240sx]

UPDATE: started undercoating the whole car with POR15 and 3m rubber spray

what are the plates welded to the LCAs for? Strength and durability from bending?

[beems240sx]

what are the plates welded to the LCAs for? Strength and durability from bending?

yes just for strength, since i didnt buy lower control arms yet i figured this would do for now. ill probably do an angle kit and such next winter

[beems240sx]

UPDATE: engine PRON, fitted the front subframe. just have to find where i put the bolts for the clutch/flywheel so i can put the trans on then drop the car on the motor.

i decided to leave the motor on the stand and drop the car down as to not scratch the paint. if anyone decided to do this, i had to pull the turbo and throttle body off.

[ShadowMan]

Wow, nice progress, Just been lurking on this one for a little bit. How is that hi-mount held in place, if you happen to have pictures? In my opinion, that white valve cover kinda throws off the engine bay tho. Maybe a wrinkle black might look a smidge better, but what do I know, my bay is still bare metal with old paint in places I'm too lazy to sand down. Overall, it's a nice project, very very nice.

[beems240sx]

Wow, nice progress, Just been lurking on this one for a little bit. How is that hi-mount held in place, if you happen to have pictures? In my opinion, that white valve cover kinda throws off the engine bay tho. Maybe a wrinkle black might look a smidge better, but what do I know, my bay is still bare metal with old paint in places I'm too lazy to sand down. Overall, it's a nice project, very very nice.

It has two tabs on the side of the intercooler and has two. Bolt holes on top. It was a pain in the ass to get it in and not scratch the paint. And yes the valve cover looks off now. But only because the car isn't painted pearl white yet (: I have another valve cover that I will be getting AN fittings welded too for my catch can setup and powder coating that one. This one is just spray paint. But thanks for the kind words!

[madserv]

very nice project.. nicely going on

[Dtap1022]

Clean Build! you can eat off that subframe haha.

[huffandpuff00]

how much whp are you hoping to make?

[beems240sx]

how much whp are you hoping to make?

I really haven't a clue. At least 400. Closest set up I could find to mine with a dyno sheet out down 550. I'm not too concerned about power. It will just be a safe set up.

Update: bolted on the subframe and diff. Then cleaned up the stance coilivers

Finally got a throw out bearing since I lost all three of mine... So I can pop the trans on and then all I need are bolts for the rear arms

[lewisfk]

self etching primer: Brand, and was it out of a spray can? How hard is it to paint over and the amount of product used? Thanks!

[beems240sx]

self etching primer: Brand, and was it out of a spray can? How hard is it to paint over and the amount of product used? Thanks!

It's 2k primer. Yes it's out of a can it like $16 a can. I used 3 cans. It's easy to paint over. That's why it's so expensive. The reactions we had we due to too much activator in the basecoat

[beems240sx]

UPDATE: did the last finishing touches on the control arms and knuckles. This took a lot longer than I thought since the POR has to dry over night

Unfortunately my outer tie rods don't work with the inners. The outers I have are Touge factory. I'm assuming I was accidentally sold s13 inners? The treads on the inners are too small

[bllabong89]

Looks good. I also use POR 15 on my parts. It is such a good product...time consuming but well worth it. Looking forward to seeing more!

[beems240sx]

I got a little bit more done. Still waiting on miscellaneous parts to come in. Just trying to do as much as I can for now

yeah so you can just unbolt the panel if/when it breaks to fix it. whenever ive drilled out normal rivets it normally tears up the fiberglass. this was super easy

[beems240sx]

Finally got these all sealed up. I stupidly didn't realize the stuff I grabbed was brown until I started. So hopefully you can't see it. If you can ill just redo them

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p204/beemsmx6/image-1_zpse8644fc2.jpg

Running fuel lines tomorrow, welding on the iat and bov flange. Just waiting on new front rotors and the front wheels to come in. Hoping to be a roller this weekend so I can start the interior. Unfortunately I'm just about broke so a cage has to wait :\ I'd rather buy a motor for the FD than a cage anyways

awesome build man this car looks amazing.

p.s. im mad jelly of the xd9s

[beems240sx]

Well done! Can you give more details on your power steering setup? Specifically that blue high pressure line, thanks.

It's one I had custom made by a guy that does industrial plumbing. Most of the kits you buy barely thread into the pump, which is idiotic. He matched all the oem fittings and I just gave him the length I needed. My shop has them in stock for KA and this was our first sr setup

[skyline_guy777]

What size trailer fender did you choose to use out of curiosity? That was a sweet idea.

[beems240sx]

Let me know if you get any more made for an SR, I might grab one since it's only a matter of time before my high pressure lines turns into a low pressure line... :(

yeah just cut it in half, rounded the tops by the strut tower and they fit great. life was made easy with the plasma cutter however. if i ever had to do it again, i would NEVER do it without that tool.

[Big Zee]

and yes i know i need to put the spacers on... keep in mind these wheels are intended for the FD. ill probably buy some nice wide wheels next summer when im not broke again

[beems240sx]

was that Kyles S13 before ? it sure looks nice, a lot of attention was paid to the detials.

yes it was kyles, the outside of the car is fantastic. wiring wise is another story.... all new harnesses are being ordered for it, they are beyond repair. and the exhaust fell off by the turbo. the car still needs mad love, and it will get it for sure when Jake and I are around. thanks dude!

Oh man this build is AMAZING. I am in the process of going top mount, and I'm glad to know that I can still keep my PBM HMIC. Great work!

Subscribed. Sick build. I can't wait til you paint it, it's gonna look amazing

[Ramonesfreak2010]

I am assuming you are using reducer fittings for your fuel lines?

[beems240sx]

I am assuming you are using reducer fittings for your fuel lines?

No it's -8 the whole way

[Snatch'D Factory]

Liking this, keep it up!

[Ramonesfreak2010]

No it's -8 the whole way
So all your fuel parts (fuel rail, filters, and regulator) have -8 inlets and outlets? Only reason I ask is because I am piecing together my fuel set up and it either has -10, -8, and or -6 inlets and outlets, so I figured I would use reducers so I can use once size line. For example, fuel rail has -6 inlets, so use a -6 to -8 adapter so you can run a -8 fuel line.

Yeah i ran into that issue but just bought all new fittings, not reducers. so it didnt look ghetto. majority were already -8 so i stuck with that even though its overkill honestly.

[beems240sx]

Got all my brake lines in, along with oil feed and my teamtech harness

[ino20]

so thats where you and your car have been hiding!!!! lol man vlads car looks weird with no wing and real tires

[Shanevasquez]

Nice ass build. What powder coating gun do you have? I do powder coating, in fact waiting for mods to approve my build thread for the shop drift car. I am getting ready to get a gema v2 tabletop gun. only a price of $5,200. lol

[beems240sx]

Yes sir! I went Mia for a while when I was building it.

Nice ass build. What powder coating gun do you have? I do powder coating, in fact waiting for mods to approve my build thread for the shop drift car. I am getting ready to get a gema v2 tabletop gun. only a price of $5,200. lol

Some gun from harbor freight. It's honestly all in prep. Good sandblast and preheating and it will look like glass. No need for that expensive stuff honestly unless you're going to be doing wheels or chassis

[Shanevasquez]

We do pretty much everything. Not chassis yet though because of size. I do a LOT of candy's, which is where the gun upgrade comes into play. with the higher grade gun comes way easier application. Which when doing 5-6 sets of wheels a week is a must. Currently using a spectra coat which even that one is a $1000 gun, but not happy when it comes to applying candy's.

Yeah that makes more sense. We just got it so we could mess around and do calipers,brackets, anything that would fit in the sand blaster honestly lol

[Shanevasquez]

That's funny. I started the same way. I used to own a performance shop and I got the gun just so we could do smaller stuff in house. Just made so much money doing coatings that's all I do now. lol

[05subysti]

just read all 5 pages, nice work! lovin all the purple, and body work. Fuel cell setup is good as well. Are you gonna weld more sheet metal to enclose the trunk from debris etc?

and yall make alot of money powder coating?? i have always been interested in starting it.

[Shanevasquez]

I am not sure how much they charge since there primary business is not powder coating but I make pretty good profit. Depending on parts and colors using can make 80-90% profit off parts coated after price of electricity. lol

No I'm going to leave it open how it is. Ill be closing up the opening in the rear seat and that's it. We rarely powder coat for customers. Just for our own cars really. It would be nice to do it for customers but we would need a bigger sand blaster and oven

[StreetSweep]

Very legit build definitely subscribing.

[dtfdanyo]

car looks great. I really like the zenki tails.

[ino20]

so wanna switch 240s when mine finally gets running :D

[beems240sx]

teamtech harness in, and yes i know i need a cage so i can mount it correctly. but for now if i get paralyzed its my own damn fault

i finished most of the wiring, still waiting on my switch panel to come in. but the car cranks over and everything works. start up hopefully this weekend if my tuner is free

[beems240sx]

well last night was the big night, got her to finally fire up.

then after extensive persuasion i ditched the rocker arm stoppers, apparently they do more harm then good if one pops off and holds a valve open

[Devinjay]

This build is incredible. When are you looking to paint it?

[Boss s14]

I'm very happy you finally finished I been watching for a while. I just started the build on mine haha. I hope to one day i see it in person. You should go kouki!!!

[beems240sx]

Car put down 470whp/430ftlbs @ 19psi

I'm pretty happy with that! Could of made more but it was on pump 93. And there was an issue with the boost control solenoid.

Specs? Or is that topsecret?

[beems240sx]

What would you like to know?

[jr_ss]

Motor specs, really. You've already said what turbo, boost and fuel used. Do you have a dyno sheet? Mind posting it?

[turbo2nr]

Who tuned your car? looking for a good tuner myself.

[beems240sx]

9.0:1 compression cp pistons
Manley rods
Arp all the things
Cosworth head gasket
Bc titanium valves, spring, retainers
Bc 264s
Hks adjustable cam gears
Turbofab exhaust manifold
Tial 38mm wastegate
Tial bov
Id1000 injectors
Aem v2 with all sensors
Fuelab 1200hp pump run on low setting
Fuelab fpr
Fuelab dual fuel filters

That's the big stuff. Lots of little parts and details

This was at 19psi/93 octane. Issues with the boost control solenoid kept from anymore

Tuned by devo Adam (previously AMS) and now the Mitsubishi rally team.

what is the spool time looking like? Sounds like a beasty setup.

[beems240sx]

drove the car to Indiana for the d1mc event. on going issues with the fuel pump didn't allow me to drive it much. fuelab believes its the foam in the cell breaking down. I pulled it out but still have to clean the prefilter to see if its fixed. also my turbo is too big so switching to a gt28. still had a blast and smashed my front bumper

You're down sizing quite a bit on your turbo. Ever thought of going with a 3071 T/S? The GTX versions are quite quick with spool and still allow a pretty large peak number and powerband.

I've thought about it but I've had several turbos that just don't spool with a dick. Just want instaboost for once. A buddy of mine had the same pte and went gtx2863 and said there was no equality of fun.

Understandable. I loved the spool characteristics of my 12 STI. That thing was a light switch, even at 80 in 6th on the interstate. I surprised a lot of fast cars with that car on BPU's and a protune.

My problem seems to always come in the form of wanting more. I reach a set power goal and in a few short months, I want more. It's never ending.

[gbaby2089]

The car looks great, but that rear wheel fitment is just killing me.

[beems240sx]

What do you mean? I have to be able to actually put down the power and have normal tire wear. This ain't no shit missle car

[gbaby2089]

I can't put my finger on it, something about the lines of the over + the wheel's slight poke (?) + the design of the XD9 just has that one aspect of of the car not working for me.

[beems240sx]

Well looks like you're the 1 out of 100 that feels that way

[RB180sxChris]

awesome build bro!

[STL240SXDRIFT]

Looks good, Red + White

[KravingAKouki]

I thought your plan was to paint exterior white? Looks good in red, but just was thrown off at the purple bay with red exterior.

[dtfdanyo]

would have been cool purple :(

[beems240sx]

I changed my mind like 10 times. But it's whatever I love it and that's all that matters.

[240Cali]

sooooo good.. just read all 7 pages and wow so much respect.. car came out amazing cant wait to see pics with the hood on tho lol

[beems240sx]

[madserv]

[Alan_405]

was curious to see what you ended up doing for your custom grill.....last pic there wasnt a grill....

Love the build, been following for awhile just never posted up.

[beems240sx]

I'm not doing anything with it. Not about to block more airflow to the inter cooler. I'll be removing the stock latch assembly once I find a dmax hood

Last time these two cars will probably meet.

[Nissansota240]

Dig the car man, color combo, rim choice, the wing. . . all of it looks awesome

[beems240sx]

Thanks dude, I'm moving to Phoenix in less than a month now. Going to get new coilovers and go a little lower and maybe change up the wheels. Need more rezax. Then find a shop I trust to do a cage

[beems240sx]

So was going through my photobucket when I found pics when I bought the car 6 years ago. Amazing how time flys and how far this turd has come

If you would have been in the midwest I would have suggested PMF (the guys that built my cage) or also Ryan (oppomotors) But that shits in MN and I would say there probably is a just as qualified cage builder out there.

[Snatch'D Factory]

What a awesome build up dude, thanks for the inspiration. What is your grand total for this build?

[beems240sx]

What a awesome build up dude, thanks for the inspiration. What is your grand total for this build?

If you have to ask... You seriously don't want to know. Let's just say I lost track once it got close to 30k and that was well before the car was done. Shit it's still not even close to being done in my eyes

[beems240sx]

All packed up and ready for Phoenix

[beems240sx]

Forsure man. I'm tossing a smaller fuel pump in. Can't beat on it since I can only find 91. Know where I can get race gas? I plan to downsize to a 2867/71 in the near future and retune

[theericsmith]

[beems240sx]

sell me the coils and wheels dude!

You fucked up, wheels were forsale when I was in Chicago.

[theericsmith]

Hahaha yeah definitely snoozed on them I remember seeing your car at MSP all the time man it looks incredible from the last time I saw it in person.

[Snatch'D Factory]

She will fit in nicely in AZ.

[hypercrush]

Hope I see this car around town, and that you enjoy Phoenix. If you do end up wanting to cage it I'd have future fabrication do the work. Best fab in the valley and who we use for our needs.

[Matej]

Someone built your car in Australia a few years ago. :)

[jorge1190]

Do you run stock coil packs? I'm shooting for similar power levels/boost but last time I got tuned I was running out of spark. Turbo is getting upgraded so hoping to hit similar numbers.

[beems240sx]

Yes stock coil packs.

[hobbs]

Meanwhile in chicago, cold as fuck.

[beems240sx]

Well it was a pain in the ass to get these too fit. I still need smaller tires up front but for now I'm happy. I had to remove a few nuts from the multi link arms to add more caster, more negative camber, and more toe in. Wasn't thrilled about that but they fit and look nice

Now to spend a couple hours polishing them

[benarovi]

what size tire is that on the rear? that is a lot of camber for the rear especially from your last setup. try shaving the fender and taking some out

[beems240sx]

265/35r18, ill probably switch to 255/35 once i destroy these. my last setup has 0 camber. i cant shave it anymore i would have to bow the fenders. so just leaving it as is. car slides nice and clutch kicks easier now haha

Haha, that camber is ridiculous!
Looks good...

[beems240sx]

Yeah I know it is. Might try a 245/35 so I can take some camber out. Or just flip the tires a lot lol

[juvi22003]

Damn looks good but i hope i don't have to run so much camber since mine will be a daily, whats the full specs on your wheels?

[jr_ss]

And you thought you didn't have traction before...
