hpipro4 s13 ka-t build - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

hpipro4 · 02-09-2013, 01:42 AM

well i've been on here for a while but never really made a build thread so here it goes...i do have an s13 wire tuck thread.

my 1st car.... my 1st build. all works done by me with my own bare hands and lotza sweat & hardwork! started back in 2008 and my build has been ongoing.....

car is a 92 s13 salvaged title lol bought off a chick that drifted it. cost me 2600 which i now realized i overpaid for it! needed new tires and a/c compressor was hanging. brown interiors with welded diff lol

1st day i got the car.....

didnt know a thing about s13 till i actually went out in the garage and got dirty lol

got bored one day and decided i was going to make the bay look tucked! so there i went....

started with engine harness...

battery tray was a bitch to removed!

after engine harness was done i decided to re-locate battery, and fuse/relay boxes to the inside....

also installed few electronics.......

August 2009 the car was up and running....

relocated s14 ps fluid tank/ intake cut out

relocated charcoal canister

slim HID

coolant reserve

September 2010 went all out.....

stance LX+ luv em!

suspension techniques sways

PBM luv!

my clutch went out so i went with all this

finished my z33 caliper swap using stock e-brake cable

jdm visor

rps13 kouki center overlay

January 2011 decided to go ka-t

scored a ka-t stuff locally and decided to take out dash again and re-wire/relocate where my gauges will go...decided that im going to ditch center vent and creat my own triple gauge pod using fiberglass stay tuned...

also wired in an viper 5901 remote start system...lovin it!

ditched the center and taped it with foil tape...y?? i dunno i felt like it..haha

moved some of the relays to the top so their not showing underneath glovebox.

i g0t very creative and modded my toplite that i never use and manage to fit my greddy mss(use as fan controller) in there w/o doing anything to much just using dremel w/cut off wheels and viola!!!!!i think it turn out perdy cool. wat ya think?

hpipro4 · 02-17-2013, 10:16 PM

May of 2011 my finished KA-T
t25, n60 blow thru, 370cc, rs-enthalpy rom tune, isis fmic, pbm cobra dp, 255lph walbro, areomotive fpr....

so i decided to retrofit another h4 housing with morimoto d2s bi-xenon projectors.

Jan 2012......
decided to cover the entire interior with sound deadening material i got from ebay called fatmat. same stuff as the dynamat but less expensive. while im at it, going to laydown a new blk carpet frm stockinteriors.com cheaper if you bid on their ebay store. while gutting the interiors, some of my wirings were on the way so im re-wirings things around....enjoi

tear down....

ya! ill be running optima d51r yellow top aka honda battery lol

yikes....

fatmat 50mil

this my old fuse panels....no problems but i need more stuff to fused..

mock up of the new fuse panels.....got a bigger fuse block n midi holder(replaces the 75amp fusible links)

factory relays were bulky so i found these on ebay...

the current and finished relays

re-did brown interior into blk carpet

greddy ti-c 80mm catback

resonator sat really low and hits my swaybar.....

decided to buy myself an everlast pt185 micro tig welder...never tig bfore so bare with me!

was tired of the resonator scraping everywhere so i decided to make just 3" 304 ss straight pipe. my 1st time tig welding stainless so it look like crap but will work for now. i did back purged.

also tig my own coolant overflow tank and powdercoated wrinkle blk

hpipro4 · 02-17-2013, 10:19 PM

also bought an eastwood powdercoater & harbor freight blast cabinet....luv em both!

some examples what it can do.......

man i hate having to smog the damn car every 2yrs! forgot to swap out aeromotive fpr & 255lph....shit was running rich!

carb legal KA lol

only drove 235miles in 2yrs!!!!!then out came the engine.

so heres some update on my build.....

scored an awesome deal on a brand spankin new s15 t28

i know i dont need forged internals but like what they say go big or go home!
eagle rods got a good deal so why not!

reason why i pulled off the engine was to redo my oil pan bung but instead im going to rebuild the motor and bought some xcessive goodies! still need to get the lower pan tho

OSK timing chain kit

going to give this godspeed intake manifold a try....still need to do mods on it and clean it up better!

skvngr · 02-17-2013, 10:56 PM

valves had plenty of carbon deposits, specially on the exhaust valves.

had them in a box till i knocked a few over and i was like... thats it!!! im going to DIY my own spring holder. had some foamy board frm dolla tree and grabbed an exacto knife, ruler and gluegun. this what i came up with lol

also my skullworks oilblock came in thanks to juan aka ManoNegra...looks pretty dope! has -8an in/oulets and 3 1/8npt ports with 2 plugs.

taylorwallace9 · 02-26-2013, 05:53 AM

Looks amazing dude, love seeing your progress

S13x88 · 02-26-2013, 07:19 AM

Saw this build thread over on ka-t, love it! I remember seeing your wire tuck thread, I'm extremely jelly of the cleanliness of this build. I'm currently working on a ka-t build right now. Question though, you said you built your own coolant overflow tank; where did you buy that little side sight? The one on my circuit sports broke.
