revolutionz_s13's s13 coupe build, pic heavy (update 6-28)
Well, I finally started ordering parts for my car again. Its been sitting in storage for about the last 2 years, due to a checkbook drought , but now I have a new place with a heated garage and some decent income again. I'm going for at least 450whp on e85, would like to see 500whp, but that might be a stretch. I still need a whole grip of parts (and money) , but I think I have a pretty good start on it. On to the parts list/pics....

tein tie rods
TechnoToyTuning subframe collars
Energy suspension poly bushings in the rest of the arms
Exterior

(Yes, they are 4 lug!)
front 255/40, rear 275/40
ARP wheel studs
Bomex front lip
silvia sideskirts
What I started with, about 5 years ago:
Pulling old motor, tearing it down to send the block off, sanding it down for paint:
Block back from machine shop, car back from first attempt at paint, put on suspension parts, test fit wheels:
Bunch of the parts I have sitting in my bedroom, waiting to be bolted to something...(no longer have the emanage, sold it to get aem ems)
Parts I'm planning on collecting over the winter:
Vibrant intercooler
Synapse Synchronic WG and BOV
oil cooler
One piece steel driveshaft
ID 1000cc injectors
Spec aluminum flywheel
Spec Stage 3+ clutch
Circuit sports clutch pivot
AEM Coilpacks
AEM twinfire
AEM FPR
AEM EMS
AEM Wideband
Aeroquip -6 Fuel lines
Bosch 044 inline fuel pump (fed by in-tank walbro)
Apexi boost controller
Ksport 13" front and rear brakes
I also have some work to do in the interior, and plan on stitch welding most of the car and possibly doing tubs in the front.
Shooting to get it tuned next summer, and completely finished by next fall. Still needs alot of work, but I'll be starting on the money sucking piece of metal this week, and I'll post updates as I make progress on this current monstrosity.

Little update, did some work on the head over the weekend, took it all apart and smoothed out the intake runners and ports on the head a bit...didnt want to go too crazy since I dont have much experience, just wanted to smooth out the flashing from casting and take the roughness down a notch. Waiting on a some valve seals and it will all go back together hopefully towards the end of this week.

Small bit of progress here. Got some more parts, a Skullworks oil block adapter, some AEM pencil coils, an Aeromotive A1000 FPR, and a set of Supertech cam followers (lifters). I sent the head to the machine shop for a 3angle valve job, and then proceed to assemble the head. I also put the oil block adapter on and installed the Xcessive windage tray/crank scraper, and had to do only a slight amount of clearancing for the crankshaft. Im waiting for a couple more things, hopefully the longblock will be completely assembled in the next couple weeks.
Pics!
Oil block adapter:
Xcessive windage tray (pre trimming for clearance):
Just back from the machine shop, fresh ground valve seats:
Assembling the head:

Man, there's a whole lot of nice parts in this build. Looking forward to seeing more pics.

So finally had some time over the last couple weeks to get some more done again. Started cleaning out the engine bay and taking out stuff I dont need anymore. I cut out the battery tray too, that sucked ass. Also pulled the engine bay harness out so I can go through it and check all the wires to make sure they are good, and to add wires I need, and take out ones I dont. I also got everything to start getting the motor more assembled. I was like a 2nd christmas over the last week, a bunch of parts came I ran into a snag tonight, I need to get longer spacers made for the fuel rail, the ID1000 injectors + xcessive mani ends up with a much larger gap than what the spacers came with for the oem fuel rail. Pics!
Parts!
Cleanin a mess
Battery tray removed
A days carnage
Puttin the motor together little by little
Its gettin there slowly but surely, needs lots more time and money tho Feels good to be making progress again after a couple years of it sitting though. Comments, suggestions, and flames welcome

they come as the 14mm/48mm, you will need to use the adapter they come with which will make them 11mm/60mm...however, the standoffs that the fuel rail comes with arent tall enough, so I had to go to a hardware store, find some aluminum tube, and make some custom length standoffs, IIRC mine were 2.5"...

yeah, hit a prob tho and have to dissassemble the entire head. the valves sit too far into the head after the 3angle, and I cant get the valve lash within spec. I now have to take the valves out and have them machined down shorter in order to get all the clearances right...franman wrote:Nice choice going with the new AEM box! i'm sure your more than ready to get that thing going!

Ah i've been there as well my friend! Def a pain in the ass to adjust the cam on bucket/puck set up.yeah, hit a prob tho and have to dissassemble the entire head. the valves sit too far into the head after the 3angle, and I cant get the valve lash within spec. I now have to take the valves out and have them machined down shorter in order to get all the clearances right...
I've been running JIC's for a good 4 years now and have been very happy with them, i'd recommend going with the flta2's (now i believe they are renamed fltaR's) great value coil for the price to say the least.How do you like the JIC coilovers are they treating you right?? I am interested in a set but i want real world reviews..

Lol i know that but is there SUPPOSED to be a noticeable difference in performance? haharevolutionz_s13 wrote:as far as feel yes. as far as performance, I have no idea, the motor is not in the car yet.

I dont know that there would be a huge difference in performance, but some gains from what I have read is it allows for a bit smoother airflow, and helps prevent some carbon buildup on the ports...Caveit77777 wrote:Lol i know that but is there SUPPOSED to be a noticeable difference in performance? haharevolutionz_s13 wrote:as far as feel yes. as far as performance, I have no idea, the motor is not in the car yet.
