The last month and a half has been a blur. A good friend challenged me to have this thing on the road by 9/28 for a charity car show his girl-firend is organizing. I dont think I'm going to make it, but I'm so close that I can literally taste it. I'll let the pics do the talking. White bunny d21 clu...

Man - auto correct made a mess of that.... ^ No not the o-rings on the AN fittings. In the central bore, there are 2 o-rings that seal against the oil stalk shaft to keep oil flowing through the filter. The powder-coater that I used did not remove the o-rings before he baked the part...trashing them...

its been in Connecticut all its life. Bought new in Seymour - all the original dealer paperwork sans the window sticker came with the car - My guess is it was the last car that a couple bought together and it just spent more and more time in the garage as they got older until it finally sat. Its bee...

I made that adapter with a friend. The skull works adaptor was ok, but it takes a weird size o-ring, and after trying 6 different sizes and the oem ring I have up. It keep cutting o-rings....finally just gave up on it. I even reached out to the chi that made them on the nrr forums, nothing....

Feels good to be making real progress Finished cleaning of the undercoating last week and started painting and all the minor fab work to make the s14 parts play nice with its older brother.

wow, this is a fantastic build.

We have a ton of parts in common, and I'm real jealous how good it looks on your build. Im red, nickle, and gold - youre black, golf and silver....looks real good.

man that thing is going to rock when its done.

I've got a DD 88s10 that I let my bro drive, and I cannot imagine that thing with power. Its got the stock 2.5L iron duke, and even at that lowly power level it feels like a death trap.

what power level are you shooting for?

Man, I forgot how much bodywork sucks. So in the meantime I've decided to spend some qualitytime finishing the KA. Picked it up from storage, as it has sat for the last year or so http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd505/superDorifto/2013-06-01180745_zps6dc1fc66.jpg http://i1223.photobucket.com/alb...

Yeah man, its gonna get interesting real quick.

I'm going to try and bang out the Paint and install before the end of June. I just need to stay on track - feel free to stop by anytime..

Quicky photo update - after putting up a pretty good fight the old motor is out: http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd505/superDorifto/2013-05-26192906_zpse06b664d.jpg http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd505/superDorifto/2013-05-26193650_zps493b27c4.jpg http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd505/s...

how did those oil cooler lines/fittings work out? you should stop by sometime and help with my new project.

your build looks great, I'm running nearly the same set-up, right down to the way you trimmed the OEM sr heatshield.

I am only running a GT2560 with in HKS internal gate....tho

One day I'll be baller like you with the external and the gtx.

Well, good news and bad news. I have not been posting lately becasue I've been in the process of buying a house - I sold parts of my project, and actually ended up selling the Kouki. Closing on my house hopefully next Friday, so I've freed up a little bit of cash, and went out and bought a shell to ...

I'm liking your build so far, We have the same turbo and style intake, should be interesting to see what we make power wise. thanks! very much indeed! yours already running? thinking about getting that ATI crank pulley, did you have to heat it up to install on the crank? No to both, it fit right up...

I swear I just saw your exact manifold/turbine housing/DP for sale....cant remember if it was here, or zilvia...

Project is still on I hope?

Not so sure on the truck blocks, but on the 240 KAs the starter mounts from the engine side. meaning making the cut with the starter mounted flush to the bellhousing like you show it means there will be a sizable gap once the tranny is actually mounted. Last time I looked it was 1/8 to 1/4 thick, bu...

Sooooo, I'm not following the high comp pistons? Are you running straight ethanol so you dont need to worry about detonation?

Otherwise baller as ****. Makes me feel like I half assed my build.

Thats your cleanest option, if you dont want a CEL. It will start without the crank signal, but the CEL will never go away. I ran a 95 for years with it unplugged. The only real difference between s13/14 motors besides the emissions crap and the timing/valve covers is the distributor/coil, and the c...

If you use the proper resistor it will never through a code. You don't have an obd2port anyway. An obd2 ecu is also going to be looking for a crank sensor....that will throw a cel unless you get an s13 ecu

I read both of the PDFs they supplied, and garnered taht the majority of the settings for the EMS are intended to be set and forget....unless you want to use them later. Battery offset is a tricky bi*ch, and while I love that EMS has a handy drop down table, once you start dealing with modified inje...

I'm just happy to finally know what the vacuum/cooling circuits llok like. for a long time it was all up in the air, and it took a lot of research/disucssions with my machinist to decide what to keep and where to mount it. That all being said, I wish that I had also moved to 2 coolant sensors to the...

pretty sure that dichromate is toxic...it def causes cancer. Just a heads up. We don't use it on jet engine parts anymore.

Walperstyle, I watched a couple of the vids in your playlist, and they are def helpful, but I still have sooooooooo many questions. I'm getting used to playing around with EMS, but there are so many options and settings that can royally **** your efforts if you are not aware of them....I literally h...

Some pics of the final mods to the manifold. I relocated the coolant return to the backside of the thermostat, there was an area on the backside of the waterneck that lets you tuck the connection behind everything. I just need to get an NPT plug for the old hole. I also mounted the MAP sensor, and t...

that is the temperature sensor for the egr valve. Its easy to eliminate on OBD1 and 95 cars. A single 10K OMH resistor will fool the system into thinking the temp is excessively low...hence the egr valve with never cycle, and you never throw a code. On OBD2 cars you need that sensor to allow the mon...

silly question, but do we have a thread for hosted AEM tunes, similar to 8 bit's sticky? I'm just starting to play around with my EMS and would love to have more base maps to look at.
