Get the motor. You want the cams for ths s14 ka if not changed already plus an extra block and head. Always good to have a spare but better to slowly build a strong block.

I had a simple question. How does the DIY'er remove carbon buildup on a piston? I have heard different ways, carb cleaner, green brilo pad plus oil, sand/bean blast, etc. How much did an auto shop charge to remove carbon? I just wanted to get a feel how many people did what and how.

dam that sucks. Oil pump failure is a harsh thing. Hopefully the block is straight and crank, if not 20 or 40 over to rebuild.

Visit your local junk yard. As for the dash lights, may be grounding off somewhere where the vehicle was hit. Hard to tell with the details given along with electronical issues are a pain.

i'll tell you one thing about Nissan. They love to reuse parts. We fitted an L28 clutch on a KA. That is a 280z motor which was made from the 70's to the 80's before being replaced by the Z31. There were an S chassis code. Anyways, we took a 280z turbo pressure plate and clutch and slapped it on. Al...

If you got the motor to tumble with starting fluid, you know the spark is good. As for the fuel, double check your connections and verify the in and out lines are correct. Also, get an injector diode tester to make sure the injectors are getting a pulse. If your timing is off, you should still get a...

Read this info on the squirt.

I am actually going to get a Stanza Auto Ecu and chip it. Stanza with a zif socket, and 28 pin eeproms. Running the daughter board or a 42 or 48 pin eeprom, I cant remember, is not my cup of tea. I like the easier route so I can start tuning. One of my friends owns a shop and has the burner and emul...

I too wanted to try this. But I decided to get an IC from Treadstone, bar and plate design. and outsource the other utensils. If I had money to spend I would try because I read bad things about the turbo's cracking or seperating causing engine damage. The only thing with the IC is the pressure drop ...

The only other thing to assume is the size of the turbo. T25 are tooo small for the ka. Theres a sr fwd b13 in the shop and the 25 is to small. I personally will go no lower than a t3 with a a/r .63 in the rear. You can get this turbo from 280z's and 300's.

I think the secret is to do enough but not enough. Pace yourself so it seems like your doing a lot. I have some body work to do to so that helps me cope. But my motor has been out for 2 weeks now waiting for parts. I actually got paid today and ordered them. Then I can build back the motor but then ...

I want to run a squirt also. Simply leave the MAF alone and go MAP. They are using the squirt on L28's and using the Ford Escort crank trigger setup. Some modifying for the crank trigger to read correctly. I want to go with a squirt but am too waiting for money. Rather spend money on a used ecu, get...

Here is a site that is helpful. I believe in the whole DIY. It is fun, cheaper, and you learn more than you can dream of.

I'll tell you what. S13 KA's have the SCV which does nothing for power. I took a S14 intake runner and swapped with my lower plenum. I removed the EGR and SCV Solenoid. I then followd the vacuum passages from the tb to back of the manifold. Two of the lines run to the scv and egr solenoid. Another o...

The blow by gasses will be pushed out by the pressure in the crankcase. Hence, putting a breather filter on the block will be str8. I just tore my motor away and if you saw the build up of oil and the smoking that came from the motor, you would never want to connect this hose again. Especially with ...

yea and save yourself the headache.

Without a compressor map were stuck in the mud. Looking at the a/r for the rear, .63 works well and the .48 is small, especially for a long stroke motor. Some of the main issues that arise are the a/r sizes. In logic, bigger a/r take longer to spool and if to big will never turn the shaft to the rig...

Has anyone blocked or put a breather filter on the breather seperator that is attached to the block under the intake manifold? Further inspection showed that the breather into the individual runners before the head seized the SCV and oil built up in the runner. I am putting an S14 manifold which doe...

I know it is a sad thing. But it is similiar to most people in the world. They don't want to know how or why, they just want it to work. I think it is more fun to learn and apply the physics and be able to explain why you chose to go with a certain setup. Anyhow, we all know Corky Bell's maximum boo...

I want to test this theory for myself. Probably the most you might gain is 2 horsepower lol but the fun in learning new things. Sounds like a Myth Busters episode. I always wanted to run a small Z32 IC or Saab on a NA motor to see what the outcome was. They made the FMIC but it really acted like RAM...

I would just spend 100 dollars and buy a full gasket set and save all the headaches in the world. Change all seals even down to the valve seals. Either way you take it, your going to either drop the tranny or extract the motor and a full gasket set is a must. We were working on a Z32, convert from N...

I've heard/read people running 300 to 350 with stock internals. I am working on a motor build up now and I want to prove this theory. Some people say the rod bolts are the weakest link and others say otherwise. I believe 300 is suitable with proper tuning hint PLX...and either a stand alone or bikir...

If worst comes to worst, tap the starter with a hammer and block of wood. The solenoid may be stuck and needs a little help.

Remove the spark plug from cylinder 1. Use a long screw driver and place in the cylinder. Turn the crank two turns to make sure the piston comes up. When the cylinder reaches the tops of the cylinder, hint the highest point the screwdriver raises, this is the TDC. Now, as for the cams, a hint is to ...

What you are going to need to do is some research. First, decide what horsepower range you want. Then go to this site, use the horsepower calculator and type in the horsepower you want. http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/turbotech.html Write down the lbs/minute value. Next, scroll down the page for the com...

I was able to view the video with Quicktime Version 7.1.3. You can download the free player here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/win.html. As for the s13 ka, here is a link to NHRA's site with his times. He was in the Quick 16 category. http://www.nhrasportcompact.com/2006/events/race10/results/q16....

I was able to do some researching and the drivers name is Edgardo Ortiz driving a '91 s13. Here are his qualifying times. He make it to the final round of the Quick 16 but must have broke. He didn't show up for Sunday final round.
