Turbo LS Formula D S14 Silvia ks

[milo2191]

Ok this is a build with me and with help from my roomates due to the fact they want to learn more.
We first picked up kenji's Formula D retired silvia k's. It has a beautiful cage just a lil surface rust but thats already been mostly taken care of.
Has a tube front end that needs a little finishing.
Has camillion paint which we may try to keep not sure yet but it is bass boat orange in the inside.
Things we have got for it so far:
Struts and lowering springs
doors
carlos's turbo 5.3 swap
freshend up t56
custom steel driveshaft
newer ls6 clutch
exhaust straight pipe - will need to be muffled ha.
I got a ls1 cam which should be a 25hp gain but rather do a ls6 and pushrods and springs and turn the boost up to 10-12lbs going for 450hp atlteast.

Things I need:
Fuel pump
oil pan - moroso
custom mounts ill make
carlos gave me a trans mount that should work
fittings lol
axles

The normal concerns are the fitment with the rack and steering column.
test fit with starter and was really close, but it worked out perfect.
As well the slave master is really close but fit aswell with no prob

Dope build, def following.

[milo2191]

it has been a minute but I have a some what substantial update
1. got a set of godspeed rs coilovers. I know they are no where the best but for what I paid its ok for now.
2. got a welded diff
3. got new bmagic rear over fenders 50mm
4. Rear sump oil pan has been notched and made
5. pic up tube has been extended and modded
6. clutch pedal assembly has been finished and revised
7. I was working with chase bays on the custom 6.5 ft powers steering line due to it being rhd in all. but was never contacted back so i decided to do it my self. Used earls 6AN power steering line and russell fittings
8. I had to remake the mounts to clear the oil pan. I did not like how close it was to the cross member.
9. Ran the engine bay brake lines and put new pads and brake job all around.
10. 70% done with the new chasis harness. just have the brake lights and fuel pump to get wired up.
11. Lastly I finished the fuel system. Corvette FPR/Filter

Next step is to make the trans tunnel. I just need to trim it up and order the metal.

very happy with it not being a standard N/A LS swapped 240...carry on!

[milo2191]

Thanks man. It's been not so easy to say the least. The rhd factor has made everything twice as hard. The oil pan drain is grabbing the hard line. So I have to fix that.

[Imarvin240]

couldn't you place a drain plug on the other side of the pan to solve that issue?
