It never got to see the dyno unfortunately lol
Hopefully mine will see the dyno before it gets parted out. I don't assume a whole lot, maybe mid to high 200's? It's quick but nothing too crazy haha.

While I'm at it, here's just a few more photos and a small update with my plans.

The aero still doesn't match the rest of the car paint wise, and the front end/lip needs some help. The fenders are trashed, luckily I finally found some OEM metal ones. Hopefully in the next couple months over winter the car will be prepped for paint.

Here's right after I finished the turbo setup. Bay needs some cleaning up, but that's the plan over winter as well!


A few last photos I took with the BRW03's




Here's a small update, I finally found an OEM sunroof cover. Been looking for one of these for awhile now, and also scored an OEM sunroof bag.




And last but not least a picture of my son in the drivers seat. Haha

They're stock LE seats re-wrapped in leather by Katskin. Previous owner got them done, I absolutely love them other than the ugly Katskin logo on the seats haha

A little update, got the new wheels in! Super excited for these. They completely change the feel of the car. Thanks again Kunio & GTR Garage for the quick shipment! These came in a set, two are 17x9 +18 and the other two are 17x8 +35. I'm on the search to replace the 17x8's with some 17x10 +20's, then the 9's will go up front. All in due time!

Picked up some Advan AD07's for the rear and some Falken Ziex's for the fronts from a buddy of mine. Threw them on and here was the outcome!

The previous ride height was a little too low for me, even though it looked pretty neat.



Raised the rear a little to be more even with the front and here it was!




Volk/Rays lugnuts will be here next week

Awesome build man!!! You really turned this S-chassis around and brought it back to life. Side note: I could have sworn that I saw this same exact car listed on my local Craigslist when it was during this "phase."

What size are your front Regas?

I have a pair of 17x9 in the front, and I'm trying to find a pair of 18s for the rear. Hard to find good sizes, and really expensive.

Fronts are 17x8 +35 with a spacer. I'm trying to find 17x10's to go in the back and the 9's will go up front but yeah, hard to find and fairly expensive!

Thanks man!

Sorry, I made the build thread but didn't want to go into too much detail and bore people haha

Started off as a KA24DE, I boosted it and had some fun, then I came across a deal for an SR. Picked it up, rebuilt it and threw it in. It kept having issues and turned out the head was warped, and rather than going through all the hell of tearing it apart again and sending it off to the machine shop, I figured I'd take a stab at an RB25.

I ended up getting the wrong RB, which was a huge downer. Eventually I said screw it, sold it and spent that cash on other things for the build and got another KA just to hold me over for awhile. It wasn't long until I got bored with a stock KA, so I boosted it again. This time it's much more fun and fairly reliable so I've stuck with it haha

How did the KA-T compare to the SR? I'd imagine you liked the TQ more then revs?

Yeah exactly, the little extra torque in the KA was just more fun to me. The SR just felt kinda gutless I guess

One small update, I grabbed some blue Rays lugs for the wheels. I think I should have gone with red, but they still look good in my opinion!



Random interior pic, and another from the other day. Don't mind the krinkled fender, or mismatched bruised aero. I'll get the new fenders and aero paint matched soon!

You got those wheels through GTR-Garage or Yahoo Japan? I need to get my hand on some of those.
