How do the upper struts interact?

Here is one I found on the internet:



In the meantime it is down to engine rebuilt, as I had water in the engine and it froze cracking the head and block:







I had fitted a gizzmo electronic boost controller earlier which runs a super steady boost with my Synapse engineering 40mm wastegate done codyace style on standard exhaust manifold. The menu on these is rather pain to work however, I much prefered the original profec-B series in that regard.



Positive news!

Sold my old custom turbo and ordered this, Borg warner EFR 6258!

[PoorMans180SX]

Dang! That's very unfortunate about the engine.

I am very excited for you to experience the 6258!

great stuff

There:


CNC machining quality is amazing:



The titanium-aluminide wheel:



Eyesore considering the price of it:

[PoorMans180SX]

Woo! Yeah very sad they still haven't been able to go back to investment casting the internal gate turbine housings.

[Motary]

Yeah, but it sucks to find that out after purchase, I now see full-race has also updated their website saying they are sand-cast. A bit poo considering the investment cast housing was part of the reason why these are cool. I am sure the performance of them has not suffered.

[PoorMans180SX]

Ohh yeah, they had to do that a while back. That would be majorly disappointing to find out after purchase. I believe the twin-scroll external gate ones are still investment cast.

Yeah they have done tests to show that performance is the same.

[Motary]

I am still however most pleased with this product, everything is top notch.

It also fits very well with the OEM manifold

[mike10562004]

hows the rear kit going?

[StatticMyke]

i like it. good work.

[Motary]

The rear kit's knuckle looks like this:



2.85kg

[PoorMans180SX]

Quite a bit different than the first iteration, I like it.

[Drifting Kalamari]

Holy hell, awesome stuff going on here! Keep us updated on that back end build up!

[Motary]

First I have to get the car going again so I could collect data on before and after suspension re-design

Fits like stock:



The elbow used is from oem intercooler piping, good that I didn't throw them away

Might be issues with fitment here:

[Motary]

Oil lines:





Wanted a full AN setup, but it did not fit and I had to make a custom hose pipe out of stuff I had (powersteering oil feed pipe, stock hose end)

[Motary]

Heatshield:



ACT NS1-HDR6



Power Enterprise 850cc



New crankshaft bearings





Painted some parts for a fresh look



New head assembled. Just new Supertech valve stem seals and lapped valves



60mm throttle body from SR20DE

[Motary]

Time to get this project back a on roll and fill the emptiness

[Motary]

Shortblock fully assembled, head to be bolted on

[Motary]

+50mm fenders

[pablo13]

What make are those fenders?

Great build

[Motary]

They are copies of Origin, made by Crapworks, look it up on facebook. Price is good and fitment as well.

has anyone done knuckes like these on a car before?

looks more like something that would be on a golf cart or something.

and no offence, just asking. I've just never seen anything like that before. and I am not very good a fabrication, so I'm not going to pretend that I know what I am talking about, or anything like that.

I'm just giving you my first impression I get when I look at it.

Working at GKTech sure is sweet when building an s13:

[Motary]

Clutch master died so I decided to replace it with a brand new one since they are cheap:



Current engine setup w/o catch can



Finally had the time to clean up the workshop:



I took the car for a drive. The EFR is so so good in response! Even at free way speeds in 5th gear it makes boost as soon as you touch the throttle for more power
Braided clutch and brake lines improved pedal feel and new fan didn't let the car get hot even without a shroud around it. I will make a custom one soon

Currently the engine is tuned by myself running 10 psi and 12.0-12.5 AFR at WOT and it hauls awesome, can't wait to get it tuned to 20 psi by a professional.

[Motary]

Something in the works

[Motary]

Got some driving done before a coolant leak and blown head gasket:









I seriously love the EFR turbo, the response is immense and it sounds amazing

[Motary]

[Motary]

Finally got my 4130 from Germany all cut in foot long lengths:





New turbo coolant hose



New rack fluid return hose



Got the cylinder head back from decking, hopefully new gasket is here on wednesday
