bataangpinoy's coupe build

[bataangpinoy]

wire wheel, three spray bottles of krud kutter (phosphoric acid rust removal and inhibitor), let it sit for a few days, trimmed off the nasty parts but didnt cut out sections of the rail; there would have been nothing left. going to get coated with por-15 and then rhino liner post weld.

Will it come back? probably, but probably not before I smash this one to bits. I would care more, but remember that the trunk floor and drivers side rear tow hook are rusted through and dented up/smashed up? this car is a tetanus shot waiting to happen.

better swap out that r32 tach if you want your revs to read right and not 1.5x low.
also if you didnt sort out your oil pressure problem you may have missed the oring seal on the front cover to the block.

[bataangpinoy]

i have a parts cluster here, i gotta pull the tach and swap it over.
the o-ring was there when i put the new pump on.

If I listened to brewster240 in the first place and changed the pickup tube, I bet I would have oil pressure.

[bataangpinoy]

brake lines aren't my best, so they will get re-done when i have time. nearly done.

I swapped my pick up tube for the revised version from the s14 SR20DET(with corresponding gasket).
Didn't see shit for the first few cranks, took off the oil filter to see what was happening. Burped oil at me! I put the filter back on, and kept bumping the ignition.

After a few more, I had a steady stream coming from all the holes on the oiler tubes, and didn't see any oil on the floor, except for what came out of the filter when I took it off.

FINALLY HAVE OIL PRESSURE. WOOOOOOOOT.


I also just finished laying ALL the wiring in the car too, I only have to put the fuel pump, spark plugs and fuel in the car before I can fire it up.

After that, its all just little things and then my S13 build will be complete in time for the coming season. Never thought I'd ever see the light with this damn thing.

Things get really crowded in the engine bay when I started putting it all together. The P/S system and the Oil catch can really took up a fair amount of space, but w/e. It works, and is still easily accessible.

oh and the car runs now.

pics to come in a few.

[bataangpinoy]

Finally almost done in the engine bay.



Gotta mount the rad, coolant overflow, secure the fuse boxes, tidy up the wiring, and make a BMC heat shield. And that will take care of my engine bay.

Bunch of little shit to finish, hopefully I'll make it to Etown's opener on March 30th.

Sweet build!~

[bataangpinoy]

Evan made up a coil pack cover



Fitted an ISIS radiator



Turns out my old one had a daughter board, and the tune on that rom went to shit.
That ecu came from this guy. This was before I knew about all his previous transgressions.

Also got the floor pan repaired, and put some heat insulation down.


And ordered another E5 ecu for my car, for a damn steal too.

[bataangpinoy]

Got it running, and put it on the road.


Got it aligned, and began my break in procedure.

S13 SR20DET 3" exhaust - YouTube

Here's a vid of the exhaust note.

[bataangpinoy]

But monday night (9/9/13) was a sad night for me. I was on the highway and my HKS turbo called it quits. 15 miles from my house, it came on and off of boost intermittently, and then stopped boosting. And then smoke, then death howl and a nasty sound when it tried to make boost.
but I'm not too upset, not bad for a used turbo that I got for 100 bucks and a pair of wheels.

But the Garrett GT2560r to replace it is ordered up and eta is 2 weeks.

[zenki_240sx]

Thanks man.

[KoukiKid]

Awesome build, can't wait to see more progress!

[bataangpinoy]

Got to sorting the interior.






Gauges n shit




I have since installed the column plastics and the knee bolster.


And the replacement wheel came in. Thankful that my sponsor, Neutron Coatings, could get it done to match the rest of my wheels. Porsche Silver, wassup!




Tires and turbo tomorrow. Got to drain my intercooler too, it has alot of oil in it...
