That one does not allow you to use AC. One of my S14's doesn't have AC so I was thinking of turbo'ing that one instead...

sup bois, does anyone know of a thread of an sr20 using the borg warner s252sxe? i'm considering using it with the .75 agp housing.

anyone mount an OE kouki 180sx front bumper using just Autocollect Storm brackets and the fender attachment? What is the bare minimum needed to make them at least look fitted? It seems the oe support brackets are NLA, but the side extension piece is. Does the plastic bumper, new from nissan, come with the studs required to fasten the piece to the fender like a stock zenki/chuki bumper does?

you can use a good portion of the support brackets from an OE S13 chuki bumper... only the 180sx kouki side brackets for mounting to fenders and the upper support brackets are bumper specific (both of which are still available for purchase new).

the bumper does not include studs.

the autocollect storm fender braces work wonders for replacing the bent and flimsy OE units (i run them personally). the bumper support brackets, not so sure on as of yet. i have them installed on my car, but i am currently running my DorkiDori Type-RH bumper. ill be test fitting my OE 180sx kouki bumper with them when i get around to molding it in the coming months. i dont see why they wouldnt help. but if you utilize the chuki support brackets + OE 180sx kouki fender brackets and upper support brackets, you wont need the autocollect bumper support brackets.

How does that translate to zenki support brackets?

i honestly cant say as ive never used zenki support brackets. my experience was strictly with using chuki support brackets back in 2006/2007.

also, finding a mint condition one is another hurdle.

If you weren't in Vegas I'd let you use mine!

I wondering if anyone has any suggestions for what I can use to repair the edges where the trim chipped off. Ive tried using fiberglass resin but its difficult to work with so Im open to other suggestions.

Thanks!

How did you remove it? Heat gun and screwdriver?

Quick question for those that have replaced your door hinges for S14s. I have some new ones with fresh hardware coming in the mail and wanted to get some opinions from people whom have done this. How did you do it? Is it best to leave the door closed and replace the hinges one be one? Leave the door open and support it from the bottom with a floor jack and a soft rag?
Thanks

Sweet. Thanks for the advice.

S14rebuild · 08-25-2020, 02:03 PM

Np, just did them on my s14, work at a body shop aswell, was told this is the best way to do it and not screw up the adjustment!

Presto · 08-26-2020, 12:51 AM

Are primer surfacers and filler primers the same thing?

Im using spraymax epoxy primer but for the polyester primer im not sure if filler primer is same as primer surfacer (first time ever doing paint sorry)

Eastwood 2k polyester primer surfacer
(Spraymax 3684026 2k polyester filler primer)

Please look at the picture for reference. I?m looking for the radiator bracket, just like in the picture that helps the side mount intake ?cold pipe? stay in place. It?s in the shape of an L, but ?reversed inside down?.

I would like to buy this off anyone. Lmk please or maybe alternatives.

zombiewolf513 · 08-26-2020, 08:30 AM

^any reason not to run the gktech extended inners? Have all the lenght u need.. no need to mix and match, tryn diffrent lengths

SRSmith · 08-30-2020, 11:48 PM

Got a new turbo that is not water cooled. Can I just plug the water ports, or do I have to run a line between the two? I've got an sr20.

Also, turbonetics recommendes using an turbo inlet filter. I'd think they would have the potential to plug up and starve the turbo. Anyone ise one? I assume the should they be changed/cleaned periodically?

Thanks in advance

S14rebuild · 08-31-2020, 03:32 PM

Is the turbo ball bearing?

Either or i would run it if the option is there... its not that much work/money todo it.... and the sr20 already has ports for coolant in and out.... i beleve there are premade lines already made for it

https://diftech.com/products/top-mou...0det-062-15432

SRSmith · 08-31-2020, 04:23 PM

I would run the coolant lines for sure if I had the option. However, the turbo does not have coolant ports like many t3t4 turbos. Wondering if I should connect the feed and return ports on the actual motor, or if I can just block them off. I heard on some motors blocking them can cause undue pressure.

S14rebuild · 08-31-2020, 04:48 PM

Ohhh i read ur post wrong lol

Yea just block the port off in the block and cap off the other coolant hose....i had my setup like that for years..no worries

ZenkiKid · 09-01-2020, 02:32 PM

How come older/used nardi wheels are going for more than new ones?

Are the newer ones inferior in quality compared to the older ones? Am I missing something here?

Looks like a Synapse Engineering.

I have one that I never used. Fit and finish is nice, but I can't speak for performance.
