S14.5 Oregon Revamp

[richmond82]

Picked up a non complete s14.5 that had been built beat and left out in the elements to Die.. Oh yeah someone genuis had installed a huge sunroof on it which leaked like a mojo and painted (rattle canned ) the top 50% of the car...

Cons when i first picked her up.

She was over revved with a Down Shift from hell
5th to 2nd and kaboom bye bye top end...
not to mention when all of this happened he was on the freeway and the hood flew up ( tommy boy style ) funking up the VIS S15 CF Hood
she had a bad boost leak and a T28 that had been starved of the proper oil it needed as they had a jimmy rigged banjo bolt ( of sorts ) out of the block feeding the turbo. Also had compressor surge from the leak being at the Greddy downpipe, sounded like a turkey LOL


First thing addressed was the fender and headlight bracket assembly. The front bumper was literally bracketed to the Head light assembly and drooping... Welding time

Next we addressed new brake pads all around. the fronts came with 6 piston rotoras very nice indeed !

Now it was on to fix the horrible " two tone try out "
this should do for the time being

[208s14.5]

Yea I'm in the current process of wiring the headlights up the proper way, but can't seem turn signals to work when I have the markers hooked up.

Thanks for the reply Big Zee the MZ is a nice diff and i got it from Formula D Driver Luke Lonberger out of his S14 with 400 miles of use...

I got to run it for a few months before taking the car down for rebuild

[richmond82]

Thank you !

She is for certain,thank you. Got her back from Dyno Shop about 4 weeks ago.

Made great power but the dyno shop wasnt very thorough in their Diagnostic and R & R so i can going through it all hose by hose, wire by wire
have a drift event on the 4th of next month that i would like to unveil the car in.

The local drivers havent seen the car for about a year now

[richmond82]

So close to being finished.. need lines made up by Fluid Connectors for the ABS delete and the ASD Hydro install.... intake getting broken stud removed today

Garrett DBB GT3076 to arrive next week... gotta get a downpipe made before the dec 10th tune date /// good problem to have indeed

[richmond82]

Just got my laptop back from comp shop. upgraded hard drive for low cost.. yay

now i can run the haltech software manager with no issues.

installed this am. stay tuned for fresh air calibration

just need to wire in my tps check all grounds then rock and roll

on a even better note i just picked up a Garrett GT 3076 plan to install and make up new down pipe before tune session..

[Bushido]

what did you paint the intake/catchcan/valve cover/turbine/fuel rail with?

loving that finish and color.

[richmond82]

Waiting for the GT 3076 to get here i scored it from a fellow zilvian with low miles and low boost abusing levels

[richmond82]

Thank you

These guys sponsor my car and do the coatings

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rogue...70968462919037

And the color is from Cerakote

[richmond82]

Going to be going through all of my grounds and harness one final time after work today. hope to have a permanent bracket solution this week. going to make up 8 studs that are going to be mounted on firewall.

[richmond82]

Also something i didnt note before is that we are using a top mount fuel rail and top mount injectors and still able to retain the Stock Intake Manifold.... clearance from bottom of intake mani to top of fuel rail is maybe 3 sheets of paper...

lots of machining to make this work but well worth it and definatly a one off

[richmond82]

Finally got the fittings for the Coolant port on the block and the Port on the Water Neck and the ports on the Turbo. Lines made up and going to picked up this am. Car is 98% start ready. need to call Haltech and ask a few questions about the fresh air calibration and the pre start process.

[IMG][/IMG]

[richmond82]

planning to replace the drivers harness this weekend. Talked with Eric at Haltech Tech Support yesterday to get clarity on a few things for calibration and start up.

Ordered up new lines to be made for the coolant feed and return including the feed fitting for the water neck and the return for the block $130 later.

got the coolant feed and return lines and fittings figured out today... Slow progress but ill take it

so to update the build. a pin on the Haltech Map Sensor got destroyed. ordered new one today. I know i know i can go to any junk yard and find a 3 bar GM sensor but i want to ensure i am using all new plugs and connectors on this harness.
