Here's my 91 S13 that I've been working on for many years, it's finally to a point where I can get it out and have fun with it!

Seems like you have some dialing in to do. What trans?
Trapping 137 you should be in the 10.2/10.3 range.

Made some progress at the track! I never even planned to run a 9, planned to run a 10 and that's as far as I figured I'd ever go but man she was running good and boom, 9.8@142!


Unfortunately I also lifted a head and torched the gasket and the block and head so I had to tear it all apart to fix that.

But now it's on head studs and LS9 oem gaskets and all back together. I also got told by track officials not to come back without a full cage so that really cut my racing season short lol. Now I gotta put a game plan together for a cage...but first I want some good street driving before it gets too cold for the year!

Very excited to run around on 700+ rwhp

Current pic with new intercooler set up. Thinking about building a 1 piece cooling panel to cover up that whole area. Also after disassembling and painting my alternator it now won't charge doh! Guess I painted some areas that need to be grounded?

Thanks! @fredallenburge if anyone wants to connect on IG, I post up a lot more there and about my other cars too.

So, pulled alternator, stripped all paint off of all points that contact the block or the bracket, reassembled and still no charge. Had it tested at Autozone and it was just bad for who knows what reason. So warranty got me a new one and now that's all behind me.

But then...

The rear mains seal started puking VR1 all over the ground every time I fired her up - doh!

So Sunday I pulled the trans and replaced the seal and all's good again. 5 hours flat to pull trans, fix seal, eat lunch and reassemble everything - decent

Now it's finally time again to go to Mexico and log some hard pulls to see if my dual Walbro 450 fuel pump set up is working. Also to log IATs and see if this Bell Intercooler core is working. I had them spec it for 800hp at 20psi on a V8 but it's tiny - 16x8x3.5". Seems way too small but I spoke to the engineer guy there twice and he assured me that's the right size fore the job. I do need to build some ducting for it also so that it has the best chance possible of working so that's probably next up.
