It took me weeks to get to where I am, but I am finally consolidating it all and starting a build thread. Don't assume I did this all in one or two days lol. I have a busy schedule and work on it when I am not lazy and have time to get something done. It also rained a lot the past few weeks, so finding good days to stand around in the driveway were rare. Anyway, here goes!A little about the car. It is a 95' S14.5 that was previously road raced and daily driven. It was powered by a fully built and balanced 509whp SR22DET (90mm Bore, Sleeved) that revs to 9500rpm (where I set the limiter). This thing was ran hard in it's 3 years of service. Fast forward to the present and what I want with the car. The car will receive the entire BNR32 power and drivetrain minus the attesa electronics. Yes, that does mean I am still doing AWD. The plan is to swap over the strut towers and everything else should be pretty straight forward after that. The front subframe will need slight modification to the frame rails, and the rear subframe will go right on with SPL offset solid aluminum subframe bushings. I am aiming for at least 550awhp as a daily driver. All pictures are taken on my camera phone, so don't hate. On to how things got started....
So here we have the clip on the day it arrived. It looks like a mystery doesn't it? 91' BNR32 Clip purchased from JDM Planet on ebay as a side deal. I purchased it because of the attractive price and the condition of how everything looked in the pictures. It came with all body panels, head/tail/corner lights, interior dash etc, engine ecu, attesa ecu, some other ecu looking box, brakes, suspension, and other misc stuff. I also got the entire rear subframe minus the rear rotors and calipers.
A glimse under the hood before tearing it apart.
The interior, night shot.
A shot of the VIN plate and chassis code.
The growing parts pile.
Starting to pull the motor. This one is dubbed the "Iron Man".
Motor out.
Other motor out. Dubbed the "Hulk". Yes, that's a Z32TT gear box.
Ok this thing is heavy. It bent my engine stand lol. Time to tear it down.
Almost bare block.
Very clean piston bottoms.
Full bottom end laid out on my tool box.
When I have time, I need to get the block, crank, head, crank pulley, clutch and new internals/bearings over to the machine shop for decking/mill, bore, and install collar + balance + polish crank. The other leg of the project, I still need to go get some Argon/CO2 gas and make a big 220v extension cord for my welder. I also need to pick up some flat bar and other various steel things to begin the chassis mods. The front axles need to go to a local axle rebuilder for some freshening up. I'm sure there's more things, but I go blank all the time.

. As for the Haltech, it's the only ems I have been using over the years. I've used the E6K, E6X, E11v2, E8, and now the Platinum Pro. Haltech has never let me down, and they work great in the hands of someone who knows their way around them such as myself. I have seen horror stories on them that usually turn out to be because of a horrible tune or tuner didn't know his/her way around the software to do it right in the first place.
. I don't have too much in pictures for the actual reassembly of the motor build, but it isn't anything out of the ordinary that you normally see. The crank was race balanced to a healthy 10k rpm. My machinest did the favor of knife edging all my crank counterweights by removing material slowly with a grinder rather than drilling holes out of it. He thought it would be better since my internals were lighter then stock, and I planned on revving at least to 9-10k rpm to begin with. Everything else was the usual and the norm except I sold my GT2860R -5's and McKinney downpipe for a GTX3582R (T4 1.06AR). I have been having trouble finding a premade manifold for my budget, so I thought I would just build my own. Fabbing the manifold will have to wait for when I can test fit the engine in the car. Anyway, enough words and more pics right?
