s13 vert build rb25det

[240drfter]

Well it's been a long time coming, but im getting close enough to feel comfortable posting my build.
A little history first though.

it started off with me buying a s13 hatch with an sr in it that wasn't running.
fixed it and tortured it for about 2 or so years...



then had an oportunity to trade sr swap for an rb25det...so i did

after getting the swap (straight from osakajdmmotors). i sold my eg hatch with ls in it and my built gsr turbo on engine stand to buy the necessitys and pay some bills.

got it put in stock and it run ok for about a year never really ran great though.

then bam cylinder down...broke ring land....i think it was cracked ever since i had it...never really ran boost over 11psi

then the simple tear down and rebuild started but ended up where i am today .. with a fairly built motor in a different car.

the build list now is:
s13 vert black
kyb shocks
skunk2 springs
300zx calipers
complete 300zx rear conversion with aluminum hubs
front conversion hubs
drilled and slotted rotors
stainless brake lines
brake line tuck(done by myself)
wire tuck (also me)
slivia front end conversion
perfect dash
nismo racing seats
heads up display with j30 tach

rb25det
eagle rods
weisco pistons
arp main studs
arp head studs
head 5angle and port n polish
stock cams
godspeed intake mani
q45 throttle body
ebay top mount modified
holset hx55

It's been a little bit but i thought i should update.

finished the brakes up gonna post some more pics, very happy with how they turned out.

actually just started it the other day to make sure everything was hooked up...started without
maf and without hooking any vacuum up but just did it to hear it run.

if anybody was curious about the booster delete i did ill explain it a little.
started out by completely removing the brake master, booster and all lines in front bay.
next i ordered the 7/8" willwood racing compact bmc from ebay(summitracing) for like $70 shipped.
took my factory gasket from in between booster and firewall and copied the bolt pattern onto some 1/4" steel.

cut that out then cut out the center hole for the wilwood to mount to it.
bolted to firewall connected to pedal and done...have to run lines in bay and proportioning valve for rear.

finally solved the inhibitor wiring problem...now that it runs it still running rough..does anyone have any suggestions on plugs and or gap to use
since its lower compression. currently using ngk bcpr6es-11 gapped around .95mm....it just runs rough and plugs get black but not wet

[240drfter]

i guess fuel pressure regulator was problem..gotta cheap ebay one off buddy for now
still got some more stuff to fix but heres a quick startup..
sounds pretty good at least.

ignore the extra spark plug in iacv hose...its for extra horsepower
