I've decided to make a build thread. So let's start it. The car was traded for my first s-chassis, an 89 240sx s13. Here's the 240 the first day I had it and the last day...
6987869879
Upgraded coils
Stripped
Unmolested ka24e
And so on..
Now lets note this won't be a quick build, so its gonna be a while. I will be doing all the work by myself and a couple friends I am learning a shit ton along the way and hope you guys can give helpful input. I'm only 17 and still a junior in high school.
This is the first photo i got of Ruby(that's her name)

When I got to the kids house this is what I saw...
69881
The kid I traded it for said the previous owner took it apart for a blown head gasket and he just never put it together.

69882
More motor work, I have to leave it outside with no windshield and living in Nebraska where the weather changes every second
The kid said all I'd need to buy is the two turbos, gasket kit, and 60k timing kit... We'll turns out I need all that plus the exhaust manifold, downpipes, and the exhaust which sucks because after the turbos and the two kits, I'm all out of money... I work as a cook at a family restaurant but don't make enough.
I got the kits and the turbos.. Now to start the engine rebuild..
Turbos

Top oft he motor is all mocked up but no bolts anywhere in it..
69884
Right head on
69885
Left head on
69886
With the top intake
69887
I gutted the car the second it was home...
69888
All of the sound deadening out and the stupid 5 lb weight for the trunk I lost 300lbs of everythjng sprayed the floor red
Before
69889
After
69890
The kid relocated the battery to the back so I made a custom box so it wouldn't slide around while driving..
69892
So yeah this is in the first week I'll post more when it's approved but yeah I'll post some pictures of some cars in my town too.. Here's a couple..
