those skirts look really good on your car lance.....been a while since ive seen those

Ive heard the noise, and it sounds exactly like a diesel truck...but does NOT sound like rod knock at all, but the pitch is too deep to be something like valve tap. It is a very interesting noise indeed. I suggested a stethiscope on the block to see if we can pinpoint which cylinder the noise may be...

Before I spend 10k swapping an LS1 into a 15year old car, I would use that money on a camaro and already have the ls1 in there. Or use it as a downpayment on a c5 z06. Just doesnt make sense to me.

what about next time trying to speed shift instead to avoid your tip in problem? And that way there is no lag time in between shifts. I trapped just a hair under 109 at only 9lbs in my s13, so you're definitely missing something in power.

this all sounds promising, can't wait until I get my ECU back again. I got my first one and the car ran like ass on teh base tune, and I couldnt 'connect' to the ECU to make any adjustments, so now two weeks later Im waiting on calum to send me another ECU. Hopeuflly I'll have some good news to post...

dsm guys are kings of porting. They port everything, TBs/Turbos/Manifolds/heads etc. They seem to do it with great success. We've ported a friends FP Bt28 for his 2g dsm and noticed a nice difference above 14lbs of boost with no other changes to the setup. Check www.dsmtuners.com and search it; plen...

I once ran almost straight water through an HPDE event (granite I was N/A at the time) and I saw a nice improvement in coolant temps.

looks good kim.........can't wait till she's done. As soon as I get a hold of Calum Im hoping he'll send me another ECU or something so I can get my chit back on the road. It'll be nice to start hitting events again.

yes, all s13s share the same gas tank design and location. S14 is different altogether, and also much harder to drop and change as well.

Lance did a small write up on his use of an FC oil cooler. It is great, especially for the price and is extremely effecient. Search his name on this site and you'll find a post from a couple months ago about the cooler.

word from the wise: remove the transmission with the engine, its much easier to get out and back in that way.

^ justin is right. Get the 17x9 front and rear (they easily fit on an stock bodied s14) and then get some 255/40 or 245/40 front and rear.

Enjoy

300zx's actually used twin t22's, not t25s. Do yourself a favor and get a larger turbo, you'll have to push that little t22 to about 12lbs to feel anything

You had some nice runs the other night. I will bring my car back out there again as soon as I get it running. The reason you dont really see any ka-t's out there is we're all broken. And most of us do autoX/road race and a lot of guys do drifting as well. Usually drag racing is upsetting on hot/humi...

370s will not support more than about 9lbs or boost or so depending on the turbo, not reliably anyway. Also, make sure your injector is the problem and not a problem in the harness. As far as your compression goes, you're golden, thats perfectly fine.

very interesting way of running an external gate on a manifold designed for internal. Did you make the adapter flage yourself? Also, Id suggest upping to some 480cc injectors or something larger than the 370's. No sense in losing that clean engine to lack of fuel.

as soon as my engine is done being built, I'll have about $20,000 into her total, and my car is ugly. Now that I look back on it, I coulda taken that 20k and put a down payment on a z06. ***** 240s are a money pit...........gotta love em.

I can understand if you just wanted a sweet straight 6, but if power was what you're looking for, coulda built the KA for less.

search for threads in the picture section started by Lance. He relocated his resevior next to his clutch master cylinder, works very well and extends the lines for extra fluid as well!

does anyone know if the ignition switch (where the key tumbler is) has anything to do with the amount (or power of) the spark that gets to the external coil? If there is a connection that is not ideal, would that cause a voltage drop to the external coil or no? I found last night that the external c...

well, we got the car to start today with stock injectors and stock ecu. We pulled the distributor out and checked it. We did have spark, but it was very weak spark. Then about twenty minutes later we checked spark again for the hell of it and it was much more powerful. We put the distributor back in...

well the rail with the 750cc's were leaking at cylinder 1 and 3. So we swapped in a rail with not leaking and working 480cc's. Tried starting, still got nothing. We checked compression while we were at it and got 170-175 on all 4 cyls. We also put the biki rom and the same 480cc's in another s13 and...

Very true, you may think the video doesnt look fast, but his driving skills are pretty ridiculous. I do more roadracing, but back when I did autox twice a month, I was usually pretty quick, as was Lanceka-t, but Justin would hand me my ass on a platter every time. It's not like its a fluke either, h...

^ true, but its all relative to what you're used to. The only car that I dont mind driving N/A is my truck, tows my car and trailer nicely. Although Im sure if I supercharged the vq40 Id think NA was slow as chit.

really ? hmm, car felt pretty good to me, and justin is a very fast driver, and usually wins his class if not FTD. Can't wait to throw on the r-comps and go at it again

awesom time, great launch. I have a similar setup and ran 13.2 on street tires at 9lbs and I trapped just under 109mph. But my 60's were around 2.1

I had a lot of fun justin, really difficult getting out there, but had fun none the less. Post up that video, im dying to see it.

meh i think weight reductions are FTL their kinda useless unless you're full blown race and ivan proved that doesnt matter. i heard something like every 100 lbs roughly equals -.01 from 1/4 mile time so i think its totally not worth it unless you like the "rugged man" look lol, but thats ...

my car is pretty much completely gutted minus stock radio stuff (although its only a track car now). And even with all the turbo components, im down to around 2500lbs give or take gas

does it use the same drum&disc ebrake setup like z32? or does it work like a stock ebrake setup.(cable) it uses drum style ebrake. Also, someone on zilvia says taht the 300zx drum fits inside of the evo/sti rear rotor, this is NOT TRUE, so dont bother wasting your time. If you want an ebrake th...
