Kilamax03 s13 boost or die trying

[kilamax03]

:zzz:Whats up everyone I wouldn't consider myself new here lol but im still some what of a newb to the s chassis platform. ive always wanted a 2 door and something rwd.

Ive been thinking when should I start a build thread and I figured the best time would be now considering im losing momentum on my build and looking for inspiration.

bought the car from a friend who decided to get a Camaro SS (big upgrade)and one dope ass car..

I also own a 2003 Nissan maxima that I daily and still mod here and there.

any who comments are welcome please don't bash me cause if you have something negative to say I really don't care:rolleyes: lol but insight and guidance is welcome.



here is the car when I first bought it

dropped on stance coils 280z wheels
I isis front and rear lower control arms (I think)
and an HKS exhaust. everything else Is pretty much stock.

Picking this thread up fron the dead

[kilamax03]

Decided hid upgrade and 5 lug swap was a must..so i installed 6k hids and also did.the 5 lug swap and threw on a set of 350z wheels. I also bought a set of chuki side skirts.. To accent the front lip..

[kilamax03]

So after my 5 lug swap i decided to go a little further with the mods nothing major just little stuff to make a difference in appearance and handling.. I saw a friend with an x bar and thought it looked pretty cool so i sought one out and bought the god speed x bar. I didnt use the end bars because i felt there was no need. I also re fittwd my chuko side skirts and i also upgraded my dash to white led's

[kilamax03]

After a while i felt like the car was out growing yhe stock 350z wheels and came across a deal to do a trade for another set of wheels.. I also got a hole less hatch from the junk yard with a wiper figured it would be better than having to repair the holy hatch i had.

[kilamax03]

So i traded for these xxrs and i loved the way they made the car look. These pics are right after i put them on b4 adjusting suspension ect

[kilamax03]

More pics with the new wheels

[kilamax03]

So after convincing myself to go lower i realized i had to roll the front and rear fenders and i also took off the coils to examine them and i also decided to upgrade my ruca in case i wanted to add more camber or take out camber. I maxed out the stance coils in the front and raked the back a little bit because i had a sligtly fatter tire back there..

[kilamax03]

I also added a rear g grow lip. And Got my windows tinted =D

[No 240.. No id]

Car looks cool, keep it up

[kilamax03]

Picked up an s14 with a sr that had a bad head gasket. Main purpose for this car is the motor and anything else i can use to fit my s13 then sell the shell

[kilamax03]

Car looks cool, keep it up

[kilamax03]

so skipping to my s14 I bought.. lol...
it had a s14 sr in there bad head gasket... the car had been rear ended and It was not in the best of shape in my opinion. so I just pulled the motor and everything I needed for the swap

[kilamax03]

motor out, I started looking for things I wanted to keep before I sold the shell, so I kept the seats the wheels and a few other notable things I needed... wish I would of kept the 5 lug conversion on it would of saved me a lot of headache and money that I ended up having to spend anyway...smh

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/mrdrkngood/IMG_20131218_123937.jpg (http://s55.photobucket.com/user/mrdrkngood/media/IMG_20131218_123937.jpg.html)

[kilamax03]

so I decided I wanted to go lower and possibly get more aggressive wheels in the fture so I hanged out my rear upper control arm. I went ahead and purchase some stance one wich are beautiful and do the job..

[kilamax03]

[kilamax03]

when ever the 240 is undrivable I have my Nissan maxima to pick up parts
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/mrdrkngood/20131225_081135.jpg (http://s55.photobucket.com/user/mrdrkngood/media/20131225_081135.jpg.html)

[kilamax03]

started taking the head off and check for ther things in the cylinder walls
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/mrdrkngood/KILAMAX03/IMG_20140308_174205.jpg (http://s55.photobucket.com/user/mrdrkngood/media/KILAMAX03/IMG_20140308_174205.jpg.html)

I didn't take any close pics but I saw that some of the pistons had slight nicks on the edges.. the cylinder walls seemed fine though... but now I was like might as well open up the oil pan... and in there I found lil bits of aluminum....

once again its been a while so these pictures are buried in my phone... but it was like the size of dime, a couple of them..


so instantly I knew I was gonna have to go the whole way or scrap the build

so I started ordering parts for the motor rebuild

[kilamax03]

and more parts started to come in


http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/mrdrkngood/KILAMAX03/IMG_20141111_203256.jpg (http://s55.photobucket.com/user/mrdrkngood/media/KILAMAX03/IMG_20141111_203256.jpg.html)

I always wanted this

[kilamax03]

i started to change out worn parts on the car because my steering felt real sloppy. also i sold my stance coils because they seem to bobb under load like when coming into s steep corner the front end would just bounce, and i hated that.. so i went with PBM,,

I as back and forth on getting s14 FLCA's but i just opted out and kept the s13 ones and pressed s14 ball joins in them..'
the PBM coils are awesome i love them ride is perfect even at the height im at.. people ride in my car and are shocked to how smooth it rides

lol yeah my maxima is my go to... i have a picture with me transporting my motor in my trunk..lol

[kilamax03]

just showing some quick progress pictures of stages the car has been through...
i wanna say that 350z wheels are dum heavy and the car felt like crap with them. lol


another thing is the god speed x bar i most deff noticed a difference in the rear body roll, the quality is not bad either. i think its way better that paying book bucks for a miracle bar if you can find one..

also i found out that my buddy upgraded the front and rear sway bar already so i won't have any need to do that.. well now i do.. i hit a big bump in the road and it bent my front one back and dented my oil pan a lil while back.. it has deff taken a beating over the last couple of months and host likely saved my oil pan.

[kilamax03]

for a long time I vowed to stay pig nose. but then I got bit by the type x bug.. seeing these front ends on INSTAGRAM made me want to change up things a bit.. I saw this bumper for sale from Thailand being sold by a dude on here (I don't remember his name)
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/mrdrkngood/20140301_165921.jpg (http://s55.photobucket.com/user/mrdrkngood/media/20140301_165921.jpg.html)

when I received the bumper it was super clean got everthing I needed to attach it to my s13. lights were pretty mint and everything lined up

[kilamax03]

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/mrdrkngood/20140301_150735.jpg (http://s55.photobucket.com/user/mrdrkngood/media/20140301_150735.jpg.html)

right before the front end swap/





took the pig nose off

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/mrdrkngood/20140918_115932.jpg (http://s55.photobucket.com/user/mrdrkngood/media/20140918_115932.jpg.html)


put the type x on
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/mrdrkngood/20140802_195637.jpg (http://s55.photobucket.com/user/mrdrkngood/media/20140802_195637.jpg.html)


everything lined up perfect

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/mrdrkngood/20140918_120153.jpg (http://s55.photobucket.com/user/mrdrkngood/media/20140918_120153.jpg.html)

[kilamax03]

and then the wiring. yes I know my wiring looks crappy.. but everything was electric tape wrapped then water proof silicone wrapped

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/mrdrkngood/IMG_20140803_102941.jpg (http://s55.photobucket.com/user/mrdrkngood/media/IMG_20140803_102941.jpg.html)

I had issues with the top marker lights since the bulb size was different and the plugs for the type x kit was 2 wires, where as the plugs for the piggy nose was 3 wires. so I had to figure out how I was gonna make that work..

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/mrdrkngood/IMG_20140803_164723.jpg (http://s55.photobucket.com/user/mrdrkngood/media/IMG_20140803_164723.jpg.html)

I ran no top side marker lights for a little while because I wanted to have my light functioning not just in there..

.http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/mrdrkngood/IMG_411.jpg (http://s55.photobucket.com/user/mrdrkngood/media/IMG_411.jpg.html)

I also ordered a type x front lip to make the car look lower... and the accent the type x bumper.. I must say the lip from driven86 ( i tink that's his name) is very good quality, and fits perfectly... no gaps or slack... nicke snug fitment..

[Ratpack_Chad]

So awesome, keep it up man.

[kilamax03]

took off the lower lights to figure out wiring since i wanted to run both lights at the same time, and i realized to run the top lights a side markers and blinkers i cut the ground wire. i then wired the bottom lights to the left and right side marker lights.

ended up selling the XXR's and stepping my game up

[kilamax03]

started collecting more parts and more parts... lol... decided i wanted to get a roll cage, i also figured i might as well upgrade my brakes while I'm at it... i ended up buying a set of rebuilt brakes from a guy on here but they both ended up leaking on me... he kept his word though and refunded me my money!! cool dude thanks... i ended up goint to oriellys and picking up a set of calipers. i also upgraded my hubs to s14 and the same for my spindles.

so the motor i pulled from the s14 hd a blown head gasket,
but when i opened up the oil pan i saw this... not idea what where it came from, the nothing looked out of place or overly worn when going over the block. cylinder walls were not terrible enough to cause this... any ideas?

yeah or at least felt like it..lol

[TheRealSy90]

It's possibly slag from the casting process when the head or block were made, that eventually broke off and fell down into the pan.


I'd do dual rocker arm guides while you have the cams out but that's just me.

This thing took a leap forward. i love the wheels.

[Almighty So]

eeeeek. Definitely check other spots/piping for similar pieces but if everything else is fine..

[kilamax03]

so i continued to tear the motor down thought about scrapping the sr build but i decided to move on forward with it.

[kilamax03]

here are the spec of the motor

S14 SR20DET
manley pistons
bc springs and retainers
hks 264 cams
oem hydrolic lifters
eagle rods
full set/ acl race bearings
arp head studs
arp main studs
apex head gasket
head decked hot tanked
block honed hot tanked
crank balanced and micro polished

had and issue putting the oil pan on because of the arp studs.. luckily i researched about how they stick up a little bit. so i shave the sections where it was hitting.
