hey guys, fairly new to the forums, never really posted or got on just due to my style of living. I don't really go on my computer or play video games much, always out doing something else or on my phone. My names Paulo, 23 located out in Las Vegas, NV, and this will be my build thread on my S13 Hatch.
ill be stealing most of my pictures from my facebook and instagram so they won't be of best quality.
It all started with this car when I ended up trading my old lexus for this car after i smashed my oil pan for the 11th or 12th time, this time being only 3 days since i just resealed a new pan on it. After that i was done with the car and wanted it gone. My buddy had messaged me to give him the car for the hatch in his driveway which i haven't even seen or even knew he had. Later that night i drove over, took a look at the car and we ended up trading the next week. I had converted my lexus back to stock and drove the car onto the trailer with no oil or pan and we just swapped cars.

The car was a 1991 Nissan 240SX LE hatchback, LE meaning it had the rear wiper blades, leather seats, etc. The car barely ran so the next day i set off to grab a set of plugs, and adjusted timing and got the car in driving condition.

sat stock for a good while, then ended up spinning a rod bearing one evening sliding it in the rain, the one and only time i have taken it sliding since it was open diff automatic. This left me in a predicament, i didn't need two broken 240's so i had to make a Decision, keep my coupe that i have slowly and only partially serious about working on and toss this chassis or yank the SR22 out of the coupe and swap it into the hatch. I opted to do the extra work and pull the SR22 out of the coupe and swap it into my hatch because i know the hatch is more solid and complete and well better taken care of than the coupe was. The coupe has rotted frame rails, front end damage and etc.

Now the fun began, yanked the SR out of the coupe, and traded it to my buddy for my old Garsons back. I could have easily dropped the motor back into the hatch that same week but i opted not too. Just like my coupe I cleaned out the engine bay and prepped it to get ready for paint.

now the fun begins, throwing the whole car back together with the power plant.
As crazy as it sounds I came up on this SR from a buddy of mine from the east coast. He had a buddy who had ripped this SR out of a car in japan, shipped it to the US, ran it and then sold it to my buddy who then sold it to me out here in Las Vegas. Its an HKS SR22Det Stroker and came with a bunch of goodies. We haven't torn the motor apart because it was never really needed. The motor had no issues and ran amazing for the passed few years. Supposedly built by HKS in japan. Blue printed and balanced etc. I can't say if thats true for a fact but by the way the motor runs and feels i wouldn't doubt it. It was dyno tuned on 100 octane and 21lbs pushing 450 to the wheels. I keep it a a very modest 10 lbs since its my first ever 240. Never drove the coupe. As soon as the paint was dry enough, I got straight down to business and busted out the install on a nice warm saturday morning by myself.

Heres some information on the motor itself
HKS SR22det Stroker kit consisting of crank, sleeves, rods, and pistons
HKS GTRS Turbo
ISIS Manifold, old apexi had cracked and this is what the previous owners replaced it with.
Tomei adjustable cam gears, confirmed this when i had to pop the valve cover off for typical sr20 things (Foreshadowing)
I was able to get the car rolling and driving for a vegas drift event which was a totally bad idea since i rushed the hell out of it and left a lot of things half assed like not even mounting my PBM HMIC other than the two hose couplers. I ended up getting boost leaks that whole evening just driving down the road and running rich as hell.

Ended up trying to slide it and drive it, ended up over boosting it due to a backwards boost controller, and was experiencing lean AFR's and fuel cut issues.

Drifted it one night and then boom. I get a heavy misfire out of cylinder 4.
Did a comp test, 3 cylinders were at 180 the 4th was giving me weird patterns of 0-50psi readings which made no sense. Id crank the motor up with no plug and just watch fuel vapor puff out of the top of the motor so that told me that the bottom end is still compressing yet no compression reading. hmmmmm.
pulled the valve covers off and boom find this.

Blew out both intake and exhaust rockers in cylinder 4, for those that still don't understand why im getting funky compression readings, you can't get compression when you have no air to even compress.

Also boys and girls don't let your SR's rev passed 8500-9k...... you blow rocker arms. I'm a noob to turbo and sr20's so i had no idea this was even a design flaw.... I changed my driving style real quick after this happened.
Shinyyyy

I hated multiple colored things so decided to swap in a stock black top cover. Im not a very flashy kind of person so this made me a lot happier seeing a very stockish looking sr20 in my bay. As far as cooling go's if anyones wondering im running a stock fan clutch with OEM Shroud and GKtech fan. <3

I found out my buddy had a type x kit for sale that hes been storing for a good minute, i wasn't going to go around and piece together a kit, im the kind of person who will pay a bit more for ease and time. I sold my 20" work scwerts off of the daily and cashed him out for his type x kit. It came in silver so i had some work to do.

After the rocker arm issues were fixed i actually sprung a powersteering leak and ended up putting the car up on jackstands. I had already replaced the PS line that was leaking but in that time I decided ill prep the aero, throw on my 5 lug, install all my drop knuckles, and install my front arms as well too.

So Vegas drift was holding a practice event on the 18th of February i believe and I actually tried and got the car off the jack stands and drivable to try and be able to get some seat time since i have left the car on stands since August or September due to me just not wanting to work on it. Well this was taken Friday evening of the 16th of February, i had to max camber since my fenders aren't even rolled. Seeing it on the ground just made me feel good inside that I might actually be able to drive it sometime next week. Well that didn't exactly happen. My buddy hit me up telling me to bring the car by in the morning and we can get the fenders rolled. Mind you I just threw it back on insurance that morning with hopes and dreams that I might actually be able to drive it that weekend.

Saturday morning came and i decided to go get my moving permit just in case i get pulled over. I had also left my license at home that morning but went back because i wasn't going to risk anything...
got popped a block away from my buddies house for exp reg but they let me go since i had all the right paperwork etc.

After we got the car semi aligned and the fenders rolled, I headed to my other buddies shop to help him drop a transmission off..... in Barstow. (I was unaware of the location) We got back to the shop around 10pm.

on the way home we ended up picking up some stuff from my house to throw onto the car maybe, one of which being a spare differential that i had received with the car that was supposedly a Tomei LSD. Never care to pop the cover off to check so i wasn't sure.
well i popped the cover off and....
https://scontent.flas1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/28058998_10208488079439049_2777216676488403598_n.j pg?oh=68a4d4960ea7c23a44eb290b1bad4e52&oe=5B0CD73E
so that was a nice come up with that.. ended up swapping my 13 diff cover on and re installing into the car. Blake got the car aligned around 4:30 am and i was actually able to drive the car on the street and romp on it without worrying about my arms being all lose and all that. After that it was time to call it an evening. Ended up getting home at 6am and slept in until 11am.

Woke up later that morning, grabbed the tools, cleaned up a tad, and went on to fill the car up with some fresh 100 octane and off we went to Vegasdrift.

I decided to keep it on wet session since this is literally going to be the first time I'm ever drifting it other than that time when i blew my rocker arms while still on open diff. I didn't want to put too much stress on the car incase we forgot to tighten something up but i also wanted to familiarize myself with the new alignment and LSD as well. I have only driven the car a handful of times after the manual swap since it was never registered and it costs a lot to drive a car on 100 octane and a twin disc apexi clutch with a heavy pressure plate. It's my first manual car.
heres a vid of wetsession with me taking it real easy and just letting of throttle everytime i got too high of RPM.

next up is new axles all around, new calipers in the rear end, replace the clutch slave and line since it leaks and maybe a new steering rack.
Ill be sure to keep on updating the post as soon as it warms up again and once i finish mounting the rest of the type x kit. It's like 30 degrees in las vegas right now and it makes no sense.
ill be stealing most of my pictures from my facebook and instagram so they won't be of best quality.
It all started with this car when I ended up trading my old lexus for this car after i smashed my oil pan for the 11th or 12th time, this time being only 3 days since i just resealed a new pan on it. After that i was done with the car and wanted it gone. My buddy had messaged me to give him the car for the hatch in his driveway which i haven't even seen or even knew he had. Later that night i drove over, took a look at the car and we ended up trading the next week. I had converted my lexus back to stock and drove the car onto the trailer with no oil or pan and we just swapped cars.

The car was a 1991 Nissan 240SX LE hatchback, LE meaning it had the rear wiper blades, leather seats, etc. The car barely ran so the next day i set off to grab a set of plugs, and adjusted timing and got the car in driving condition.

sat stock for a good while, then ended up spinning a rod bearing one evening sliding it in the rain, the one and only time i have taken it sliding since it was open diff automatic. This left me in a predicament, i didn't need two broken 240's so i had to make a Decision, keep my coupe that i have slowly and only partially serious about working on and toss this chassis or yank the SR22 out of the coupe and swap it into the hatch. I opted to do the extra work and pull the SR22 out of the coupe and swap it into my hatch because i know the hatch is more solid and complete and well better taken care of than the coupe was. The coupe has rotted frame rails, front end damage and etc.

Now the fun began, yanked the SR out of the coupe, and traded it to my buddy for my old Garsons back. I could have easily dropped the motor back into the hatch that same week but i opted not too. Just like my coupe I cleaned out the engine bay and prepped it to get ready for paint.

now the fun begins, throwing the whole car back together with the power plant.
As crazy as it sounds I came up on this SR from a buddy of mine from the east coast. He had a buddy who had ripped this SR out of a car in japan, shipped it to the US, ran it and then sold it to my buddy who then sold it to me out here in Las Vegas. Its an HKS SR22Det Stroker and came with a bunch of goodies. We haven't torn the motor apart because it was never really needed. The motor had no issues and ran amazing for the passed few years. Supposedly built by HKS in japan. Blue printed and balanced etc. I can't say if thats true for a fact but by the way the motor runs and feels i wouldn't doubt it. It was dyno tuned on 100 octane and 21lbs pushing 450 to the wheels. I keep it a a very modest 10 lbs since its my first ever 240. Never drove the coupe. As soon as the paint was dry enough, I got straight down to business and busted out the install on a nice warm saturday morning by myself.

Heres some information on the motor itself
HKS SR22det Stroker kit consisting of crank, sleeves, rods, and pistons
HKS GTRS Turbo
ISIS Manifold, old apexi had cracked and this is what the previous owners replaced it with.
Tomei adjustable cam gears, confirmed this when i had to pop the valve cover off for typical sr20 things (Foreshadowing)
I was able to get the car rolling and driving for a vegas drift event which was a totally bad idea since i rushed the hell out of it and left a lot of things half assed like not even mounting my PBM HMIC other than the two hose couplers. I ended up getting boost leaks that whole evening just driving down the road and running rich as hell.

Ended up trying to slide it and drive it, ended up over boosting it due to a backwards boost controller, and was experiencing lean AFR's and fuel cut issues.

Drifted it one night and then boom. I get a heavy misfire out of cylinder 4.
Did a comp test, 3 cylinders were at 180 the 4th was giving me weird patterns of 0-50psi readings which made no sense. Id crank the motor up with no plug and just watch fuel vapor puff out of the top of the motor so that told me that the bottom end is still compressing yet no compression reading. hmmmmm.
pulled the valve covers off and boom find this.

Blew out both intake and exhaust rockers in cylinder 4, for those that still don't understand why im getting funky compression readings, you can't get compression when you have no air to even compress.

Also boys and girls don't let your SR's rev passed 8500-9k...... you blow rocker arms. I'm a noob to turbo and sr20's so i had no idea this was even a design flaw.... I changed my driving style real quick after this happened.

I hated multiple colored things so decided to swap in a stock black top cover. Im not a very flashy kind of person so this made me a lot happier seeing a very stockish looking sr20 in my bay. As far as cooling go's if anyones wondering im running a stock fan clutch with OEM Shroud and GKtech fan. <3

I found out my buddy had a type x kit for sale that hes been storing for a good minute, i wasn't going to go around and piece together a kit, im the kind of person who will pay a bit more for ease and time. I sold my 20" work scwerts off of the daily and cashed him out for his type x kit. It came in silver so i had some work to do.

After the rocker arm issues were fixed i actually sprung a powersteering leak and ended up putting the car up on jackstands. I had already replaced the PS line that was leaking but in that time I decided ill prep the aero, throw on my 5 lug, install all my drop knuckles, and install my front arms as well too.

So Vegas drift was holding a practice event on the 18th of February i believe and I actually tried and got the car off the jack stands and drivable to try and be able to get some seat time since i have left the car on stands since August or September due to me just not wanting to work on it. Well this was taken Friday evening of the 16th of February, i had to max camber since my fenders aren't even rolled. Seeing it on the ground just made me feel good inside that I might actually be able to drive it sometime next week. Well that didn't exactly happen. My buddy hit me up telling me to bring the car by in the morning and we can get the fenders rolled. Mind you I just threw it back on insurance that morning with hopes and dreams that I might actually be able to drive it that weekend.

Saturday morning came and i decided to go get my moving permit just in case i get pulled over. I had also left my license at home that morning but went back because i wasn't going to risk anything...
got popped a block away from my buddies house for exp reg but they let me go since i had all the right paperwork etc.

After we got the car semi aligned and the fenders rolled, I headed to my other buddies shop to help him drop a transmission off..... in Barstow. (I was unaware of the location) We got back to the shop around 10pm.

on the way home we ended up picking up some stuff from my house to throw onto the car maybe, one of which being a spare differential that i had received with the car that was supposedly a Tomei LSD. Never care to pop the cover off to check so i wasn't sure.
well i popped the cover off and....

so that was a nice come up with that.. ended up swapping my 13 diff cover on and re installing into the car. Blake got the car aligned around 4:30 am and i was actually able to drive the car on the street and romp on it without worrying about my arms being all lose and all that. After that it was time to call it an evening. Ended up getting home at 6am and slept in until 11am.

Woke up later that morning, grabbed the tools, cleaned up a tad, and went on to fill the car up with some fresh 100 octane and off we went to Vegasdrift.

I decided to keep it on wet session since this is literally going to be the first time I'm ever drifting it other than that time when i blew my rocker arms while still on open diff. I didn't want to put too much stress on the car incase we forgot to tighten something up but i also wanted to familiarize myself with the new alignment and LSD as well. I have only driven the car a handful of times after the manual swap since it was never registered and it costs a lot to drive a car on 100 octane and a twin disc apexi clutch with a heavy pressure plate. It's my first manual car.
heres a vid of wetsession with me taking it real easy and just letting of throttle everytime i got too high of RPM.

next up is new axles all around, new calipers in the rear end, replace the clutch slave and line since it leaks and maybe a new steering rack.
Ill be sure to keep on updating the post as soon as it warms up again and once i finish mounting the rest of the type x kit. It's like 30 degrees in las vegas right now and it makes no sense.
