I lost all the photos to this section, so bare with me I had to revise it.
Cylinder head removed
I got the engine block torn down and dissembled according to the FSM, and I got the block to be steam cleaned and minty fresh

We also managed to clean up the valves while me and my partner where at it.

Also my camshafts looks too be scored I gotta measure it and what not, but I'll most likely have to replace them that's fine cause my buddy Dereck says he has some clean OEM ones.

ka24debt · 09-13-2011, 01:48 PM

awesome build your remind me of me spray painting every single part that could come off lol

jason_rsx · 09-14-2011, 07:19 PM

wow alot of attention to detail

xharobikeslifex · 12-01-2011, 12:10 AM

Late update super busy with school and work. I know excuses excuses. Welp my laptop crashed and well all the photos I had saved for my rebuild on my SR is now gone, so this will be a giant leap of currently where my engine stands.

Installed pistons and rods, I gotta say torco assembly lube is amazing it reduces friction so much my rotating torque on the crankshaft (With all the pistons installed) was about 9 ft lbs, which is not that much at all.

Timing Guides and Chain Installed. No: 1 piston at TDC. Also you can notice that I hot tanked the block, and installed new freeze plugs.

I installed the oil pump/timing cover, and also the harmonic balancer. I didnt bother too torque the crankshaft pulley until after I get the head and timing set.

Flipped the engine over and installed the baffle plate, and started to install the oil pick up tube. Before installing the oil pans, I made sure I squirted oil at areas I might have missed.

Greddy oil pan installed as well as the other baffle plate. This is the current "state" of my engine. *Note there is no excessive RTV haha i'm learning!

F20cS13 · 12-01-2011, 05:00 AM

Nice work. Really like the rhd,hatch,s15 work you have going.

xharobikeslifex · 12-10-2011, 02:19 PM

Ahh so clean 5 angle valve job, new exhaust valve guides, and seals. All thats left for me to do is to install the CAS, timing bracket, timing tensioner, freeze plugs, and the valve cover.

Installed the Apexi Headgasket

carmaniac1993 · 12-11-2011, 05:54 PM

Just read the whole thread man, looking good.
And also, much improvement on the internals!!
Love attention to detail. Hate to see people being lazy while assembling motors.

xharobikeslifex · 01-31-2012, 07:57 PM

Update!
I probably should of updated this last year, but as always, I'm too caught up on things.
Onto the build thread!
Installed the CAS, timing bracket, timing tensoner, the rest of the freeze plugs for the head, and the valve cover

Installed the P/S pump, I cant find my Greddy pulley otherwise I'd have it installed.

Bought a Tomei FPR

I got the alternator and belt installed

Current state in what the motor looks like after the rebuild

I bought some roll around wheels MB Battles. The MB Battles are staggered, 17x9.5 +15 and 18x9.5 +15, with Federal 595's 215/40 front and 225/40 rear. Here's a mock up on what it looks like in the rear, I only bought the rear 5 lug conversion, so to be continued for the fronts.

Overall this is the current state in what the project is currently at, I wont update for a while due to the fact that im really in credit card debt with the engine rebuild, so sorry but hey it was well worth it no regrets. 8)

OnPoint · 01-31-2012, 09:44 PM

great build bro.

xharobikeslifex · 11-20-2012, 09:11 PM

Okay all you guys called it out, I'm done with this build thread and I'm parting out my car everything is for sale minus the turbo, mb battles, and bride seat.

mitsuracer85 · 11-20-2012, 10:28 PM

You're not parting it out til we see it run..

ZenKi_373 · 11-20-2012, 10:31 PM

sell the shell! pm me a price.

Slippin'eight-nine · 11-22-2012, 04:27 PM

What a letdown..

xharobikeslifex · 09-19-2013, 10:34 PM

Guess who's back
Dereck came over a while back to help mock up the over fenders, we first taped it all up with painters tape then worked around with it, and drilled holes at the appropriate areas and installed Clecos before putting actual rivits in them just to make sure everything looks dead on. I'd have to say it came out pretty well.

I then handed the car over to Rolando to have the quarter panels cut and welded (which he did a amazing job in cutting), but ended up handing it over to Chris at Nobles Automotive. I gave him pretty much shopping list of everything I wanted done before I get my hands on her again.

Nobles installed the radiator support got the rear crash bar completed, and almost finished the rear quarters.

I went down to Lincoln MO not only to check out the progress, but he needed the doors and taillights to begin the next job. But after a 2 hour drive I realized I forgot the center section of the taillight shit lol. The car seeing it before my eyes was breathe taking to say the least. I wanted him to lower the lift but I had to head back before it got dark (because I'm afraid of the dark duh)

The front crash bar still has a little bit of work to do, but it looks done to me! That mock up of the s15 front btw is 10x better than me laying it all on there like a pile of wood. You cant really notice, but you can kind of see I got my front 5 lug and the MB Battles are finally on.

conrad_s13.5 · 09-20-2013, 08:39 AM

I like where this is going

Reece · 09-20-2013, 09:00 AM

Glad you didn't part it out.

xharobikeslifex · 10-15-2013, 10:43 PM

So I recently got some news on how my car is doing at the shop, the front and rear crash bar are done, metal fender work is done, and all rear aero is fitted. The S13.5 conversion fenders are getting glass work done to them because they were short at the doors. I'll see if I can get some pictures soon.
Until then here's a teaser pic of the roll cage in progress!

05subysti · 10-18-2013, 10:22 PM

Badass build, love the attention to detail and correcting things like the
Engine rebuild and rhd firewall.

Glad you didn't part out!

twomahs · 10-19-2013, 05:23 AM

awesome build, i was hoping for a normal s13 front build and having a built SR but oh wells. it's still good! its funny your projects name is also my girlfriends name. "Lilia" but keep it up. you're almost there!

Hoffman5982 · 10-20-2013, 01:55 AM

Who did your valve cover?

xharobikeslifex · 10-30-2013, 11:08 AM

I plan eventually to stroke it no homo haha but I mean its a reason why its a build never ending project

I actually bought the valve cover off zilvia from someone who was parting their car. There's a website I went to that can do burnt titanium finishes dunno whats it called its shop is from Cali I know. But the turn around time was insane like 2 months its a long process for just one piece. Wouldn't recommend dippedparts dunno if their still in business but the customer service blows.

xharobikeslifex · 10-30-2013, 11:15 AM

buh buh balling!

greenwood · 10-30-2013, 02:50 PM

I went over my bandwidth usage for this month on photobucket, but it should be up and running again. I post this not only on here but two other forums as well.

Hatemy7 · 10-31-2013, 08:45 AM

oh ok gotcha bro. I just saw them and yes I am loving the build. Seriously

Arteeste · 11-02-2013, 04:18 PM

I like the detail put into this

Thanks man, and heres a November teaser for the cage GUSSETS!

xharobikeslifex · 12-09-2013, 12:39 PM

Cage has been all anchored, and the drives floor have been dehumped. All the aero is fitted. Getting ready to glue the quarters and rivet all the aero on. Next will be a little body time to make fenders match doors.

Let me know what you guys think!
