Project s13

Post by MaSSaCrE »

Been along time since ive posted anything ive had so id figure id start a new thread.

Picked up this 90 240sx s13 for really cheap earlier in the year. Its a pos but should be a pretty fun project. Its a stock ka24e with 190k miles. I have done a few little interior mods,polished valve cover,full tune up,etc but thats it

Plans:
_________________________________-
Turbo stock motor till it gives
Rebuild the ka24e
Lower it
Widebody
Staggered Rims
Welded Diff

Installed\Waiting to put on
______________________________________
3" ISIS Straight Pipe Exhaust
Garrett Turbo
Big Front Mount
Turbosmart Wastegate
Greddy RS Bov
JGS top mount manifold
AEM Wideband
AEM Truboost
HKS Turbo Timer
Walbro 255
Cusco Catch Can
460cc rx7 Injectors
Feed\Return Oil Lines
Dumptube

Im sure im missing few things here and there
More parts to come...

Why is it a POS? Looks to be in nice shape to me.

I guess im just anal about certain things. Im gonna be putting two new fenders on so its straightened up somewhat, has holes in the hatch from a spoiler someone had on there that im going to fill as well.

This car isnt driven and wont ever be daily driven really. Just wanted a play car to mess around with, have some fun attempting to drift. Really wanna see how these ka24s do with boost

I prefer a cammed turbo ka over a sissy sr anyday, they even sound better at idle imo. Good safe tune and you can push 350whp for quite a long time. The small torque difference with the ka makes all the difference. This is coming from a guy who did about 3 sr swaps a week for about two years. If you can get the c4 adaptor to a ka still that malkes for a super fun street car

Yeah I love the sound the ka has and the torque.

Im only looking for 200 give or take on wastegate. I know the motor wont hold up what so ever with the mileage. I plan on building a ka24e over winter though, plus there all over craigslist running for 100 bucks lol.

I have a truck a drive daily so this car is no rush what so ever. I spend every dime on it but im making sure I dont go cheap with anything. Its getting the best of the best within my price range with everything even though ill be on stock motor

first thing on the to do list........ pull the valve cover and get rid of the gay ass upper chain guide. two bolts, then chuck that bitch in the trash, and it stops the annoying meshing sound that is notorious from the front of the motors, and even NISSAN said the upper is useless. Its super easy, i know there are tons of write ups on it. And 200 isnt hard, but once you get there youll want more. Just get a descent turbo from the beginning to save money from when you get tired of a weak ass t25 or t28. Hope you have fun, I still love nissans and always will.

That terrible exhaust sounds amazing to me on a turbo'd car and to be honest it sounds amazing and has a noticeable diff being naturally aspirated. Sounds just like buddy club which is my favorite exhaust
