New Project: Mild build
Sorry for the quality of the pics. Courtesy of the budget cam! I'll add more pics as the build progresses.
Haha, I have inspection at the end of the month! Wateva... whateva...
Fitment:

i just unbolted mine at the intake and then cut it down closer to the header, then pinched it and welded it shut. that if your tryin to block it off. if not then use liquid wrench and a good wrench.
Crazy about the KA
mod list so far:cold air, clutchmasters twin friction, nismo clutch master, short throw, VLSD, 3" ebay exhuast, SSAC mani, .42/.48 garret t3, FMIC, Tein prings, Tokico Blue struts
The Nissan 240sx: It's a lot of sports car, but you can handle it.
Canadians are born drifters!
Dodge Cummins vs. Ford Powerstroke= I'd rather be cummin then strokin

{UPDATED PICS} Its taking me forever!
I made the mistake of trying to take the sway bar bolts off with a "star patterned socket instead of a 14mm hex like I should have. Since it was next to the new sway bushing I could not torch it, so I started destroying just the one side of it so I could still screw it off if it decided to let me!
After the nut was grinded with a dremel down to the threads, a center punch was used on the left edge of the cut and it started to turn. Pliers were used to grab and loosen it further. Then it got stuck. So I used a screw driver to tap it and it slipped and my thumb hit the front brace (the edges are REALLY sharp!)

Here's the bolt of satan that took three days and a trip to the ER to get off.

H£LP! the bolts from the header to the mid-pipe wont come off! Tried penetrating oil, tapping them and started to drill one.
Did you guys take just the headers off, or the headers and the mid-pipe?

The catalytic converter is way easier to get to, but the bolts look like they need ALOT of persuasion to come off

everything fit awesome, the wastegate recirculation flange just needs to be lined up with the flange on the wastegate. The oil return is on, but the oil feed line is a different story...

Oil pressure sensor was removed with a 27mm deep socket. I figured I'd mention the size of the socket because its hard to find searching, plus it was way easier than using an adjustable wrench:)

The oil pressure sensor attached to the oil feed line adapter
http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm31 ... 1212088239
The thread size on the male end of the T-fitting is not metric and so it is slightly too big for the treads where the original oil pressure sensor was located, but the oil pressure sensor fit into the female side of the T-fitting...WEIRD.
I was looking at Issue 3 of Project Car magazine where they cover a turbo kit install into an Integra. THe oil feed fitting for their turbo setup has an extra piece on the end (silver in the pic below). I'm guessing that this piece converts the threads to metric?
http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm31 ... 1212088660
Does anyone know where I could find a piece like this? I've checked Lowes and quite a few sites like JGS.
Where did you guys find a piece for the oil feed line from the block? (I am only using the one port from the original oil pressure sensor next to the oil filter.

here you go:
http://stealthmodeperformance.com/oil-blockfit.shtml
that adapter fitting will make your life a lot easier. screw your OEM sender on the end and you'll have two 1/8 NPT threads on the sides, one can be used for your turbo feed and you can plug the other one or conect it to an oil press. gauge, good luck....

*Update*
Walbro pump and Z32 feul filter (no pic) installed
Does anyone know what this sensor does on an s14? It was on the center rad support. I had to take it off to fit the front mount. I thought it was an Airbag sensor or maybe a smaller horn? (It looked like the wires were coming from the horn wire harness).
Sorry for the one pic at a time build...its my first time

All of you guys builds on here are looking REALLY sick! Its been A while since I posted an update. sorry for the trash quality pics.
. Personally I'm not a fan of the color, but its whatever
So one day I got anxious and thought could install the cams without instructions. I BROKE a BC exhaust cam when reinstalling them. I tightened the cam retainers at 5 lbs in a diagonal from INSIDE to OUTSIDE in the same pattern as the head....
I heard a crack...I found out later that I broke it. Now I know to tighten the cam retainers from OUTSIDE to INSIDE in a diagonal pattern

Thanks for the feedback guys:)
You're right, the motor right now has oversized valves and probably stronger springs. One of the exhaust valves bent though so its getting rebuilt again "on the house" because it was the machine shops fault. I am still waiting for the specs on the valve train from the shop, I'll post it as soon as I get it though

Why it is a great idea to double and even triple check valve clearances:
Oh and check out how clean the piston is after running the engine for a while, no feul was even getting into it!
...and so onto rebuild #2...
Will post more when possible

Its been a while.
wheels with alot of oxidation and fresh curbrash from previous owners, got a good deal on them though
clear coat came off of fender
The hood fell onto one of those tall jack stands (kind of a long story) if only it had fallen directly in the center
hooked up the horn to a switch to pass inspection. Lolz These are NOT staying in the car for long. I plan on taking them out as soon as possible.
Its now on rebuild number three and it wont stay running. It has been retuned to 14 psi and is making about 280 whp. It starts right up and dies. It runs itself lean. I'm guessing its the fpr again (last time when it was running rich the fpr was stuck open) or maybe the fuel filter? The gas has been sitting in it for a while too.
I'm goin crazy trying to figure out why this car never stays running for long! Do you guys have any ideas as to what this could be? Has this happened to any of you guys?
