Something behind the timing belt cover? Maybe the water pump gasket or the pump seal failing? I'm just grasping at straws, I'm not at home so I can't really look at my engine to give you any ideas.

sarhd · 03-26-2014, 07:53 AM

I have my engine out. Where exactly is this hole?

MiamiZ33 · 03-26-2014, 09:13 AM

Something directly behind the crank pulley on the bottom side.

sarhd · 03-27-2014, 09:39 AM

Sorry haven't been able to take a look. It's been pouring over here since yesterday morning.

What clutch flywheel combo is everyone using?

What trans are you running? I have a full set up for a ka/sr trans that has brand new ACT lightweight flywheel and pressure plate. Just needs a disk. I only mounted it, car never ran. Let me know if you need it!

That's the tranny I'll be using how much were you wanting? Could you send me some pics

MiamiZ33 · 04-02-2014, 09:00 AM

So here's that hole where the water was coming from. After a brisk cleaning I realized it was a hole in a plastic cover.

So, after downloading a tutorial on waterpump replacement from ClubLexus I started removing stuff until I could see the waterpump... behold, a $2.00 freeze plug is going to cost me $150 to replace the entire waterpump. Looks like it's been leaking for a while too. Oh well, at least I'll have peace of mind.

Looks good without any of the front covers

Shitty man. At least that's one less thing to worry about!

Turtle, how much for the trans brackets shipped to 30189?

turtle m3th · 04-06-2014, 12:05 AM

^ I can do them for $20 shipped

Drifting Kalamari · 04-06-2014, 12:42 AM

Sweet, you'll be getting a PM soon!

Drifting Kalamari · 04-06-2014, 01:30 AM

How much of an improvement is there from tubular manifolds? I may just go with modified logs if the improvements from tubular aren't that significant

Is anyone running a sway bar with their setup?

Drifting Kalamari · 04-06-2014, 05:49 PM

Yes, I have whiteline. SIKKY and whiteline make sway bars that clear RB/LS/1UZ oil pans. About $300 shipped usually

w0lfatncsu · 04-06-2014, 05:51 PM

Is the sway bar spacer from daft worth buying? Or should I just save and get an aftermarket bar?

Drifting Kalamari · 04-06-2014, 06:31 PM

Either run no bar or get an aftermarket one. That's my 2¢

w0lfatncsu · 04-06-2014, 06:32 PM

Sounds good to me.

Jifter · 04-06-2014, 07:22 PM

I run no front sway in my s13 coupe. Running on HSD coils. Drifts like a beast. Has no understeer issues. No sway, no problem. Plus you get more clearance for steering lock lol

Drifting Kalamari · 04-06-2014, 07:29 PM

Yep, stiff coils will make up for lack of sway bar.

sarhd · 04-07-2014, 10:46 PM

What spring rates are you all running?
Still need to pick up my transmission adaptor any suggestion because I've heard of fitment issues with the Collins adaptors. Also anyone running the ka transmission how much did you shorten your driveshaft by

turbronegro · 04-08-2014, 07:47 AM

Only fitment issue I ran into was the stock headers don't allow the adapter to fit.

Anyone thought about using a 2uz engine?

zenkiset · 04-09-2014, 12:22 AM

I'm running a Sikky sway on my s14. Can't vouch on anything yet since the car is not finished but it's super beefy and clears the oil pan no problemo. Still debating on cutting and redirecting my the headers myself or buying some from turtle

codybrown408 · 04-09-2014, 12:42 AM

is anybody still doing this swap?

Drifting Kalamari · 04-10-2014, 09:32 PM

My friend is and I am.

w0lfatncsu · 04-10-2014, 11:04 PM

I am as well.

sarhd · 04-10-2014, 11:13 PM

Same here just piecing everything together

Reason 2uz isn't thought to be use is:

1. it cost more since its in newer motors. A lot more on that note.

2. It's a iron block.

3. there's no real advantages from 1uz to 2uz

turbronegro · 04-11-2014, 12:01 PM

Eh I have 2 2uz engine that i got each cheaper than my 1uzfe. I just dont know what I'll do with them. One I think I'm going to swap NA into some old toyota pickup and drive it around like that. But then I'd have to swap the fbw throttle body to a throttle cable setup. The rods are weaker but the head flows better than than non-vvti 1uz. The block adds 82lbs i think.

sarhd · 04-11-2014, 12:57 PM

You can put the 2uz heads on the 1uz block i thought

turbronegro · 04-11-2014, 02:42 PM

I think it's 1uz heads on a 2uz block. But you'll have to modify the pistons or rods because they're too long. I dont exactly recall.
