So I went big turbo on my S13. Also tons of build pics.

I'm not driving the car right now it needs injectors, wideband sensors, proper boost controller, AEM engine management, and then she'll be ready to play. That's gonna come in the fall though along with full intake manifold side rebuild.


So here's pics from the latest mods and I'll follow them with pictures of the entire build from the start. I'll try to keep them in order but honestly that's going to be hard to do haha.



















Now on to the older pics that aren't in any particular order and s*** dude I've lost a lot of the pictures. These are in no particular order and show older turbo setups, along with some of the mods being put in. I've lost so many pics this is not going to be all of them but enough to get the jist of it.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Sounds like you've got all the hardcore stuff squared away, you just need the basics... injectors and ECU.

Its going to take you until the fall until you can get that?

[kornmanz]

Yeah lol. I'm a broke full time university student. Plus I want to do it right you know? And doing it right is going to be like 4 g's.

I want to do the intake manifold, throttle body, fuel rail, injectors, wideband sensor, boost controller, and new ecu the right way and all at once. I want to get the most out of this setup on the dyno. Plus I'm not even sure any of the local shops will do this justice I've been talking to them and they have rb28 experience so I hope that'll do. They literally have no sr20 experience.

Also I need to get a roll cage before I start driving this thing as I'm a big dude and barely fit in the car lol my head almost touches the ceiling.

I don't know I could afford a flash tune and injectors right now but I don't think that'll do it justice.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

So what's the goal? Dyno queen, or fun driving car? Because you don't need a new intake manifold or fuel rail to make it a fun driving car.

[kornmanz]

The goal is drift events with enough power to handle the longer turns, and with enough throttle response to accomodate. There are local events that I want to start being a part of. I spoke with Dan Brockett (http://formulad.com/drivers/profile/dan-brockett.php) who's from here who has an rb28det in his s13 coupe and runs the formula D circuit. I caught him at this local shop called Motiva Performance and he told me he hosts local drift events. I want to take part in those and see how those go. See if I can take it further or not. I enjoy agressive driving to say the least and have given the local cops a show on multiple occasions.

I'm basically building a track car that is still street legal so I can sometimes play on the streets a lil bit. My friends are all building their cars (2 wrx's, 1 wrx sti, 1 370z, 1 g35 and one k20 civic) so I still want this car to be street legal so I can go joy ride with them from time to time.

The city we're in doesn't have emissions so hell yeah. A track/street hybrid is basically what I'm going for. Definitely primarily track though. I do not daily this car and never plan to. I have only driven it here and there, take it out a few times, blow something, and back in the garage for new parts.

[mmm240]

Nice! Are you still mixing? I could use some fresh music.

[kornmanz]

I'm still producing music yeah. I do also have a mix that I made a while ago but I'll make a new fresh mix just for you so that the music is newer. The last mix I did was made in 2014.

Check out my page its still up.

but unfortunately some douchebags stole the copyright and trademark to DJZ haha and made www.djz.com and really screwed me in 2011-2012. So I'll be making a new name soon. :P

[mmm240]

sweet! I'm starting from the top of your list now. Bringing back the old days of NICO lol

[kornmanz]

haha right? Beats on beats on beats.

Have you done drift events already?

[kornmanz]

I ordered 1000cc injectors, a fuel rail and an enthalpy flash tune for the car. Decided I wanted to drive it.




More pics when I install this s***. I also have to rebuild my FPR cuz the seal broke.

As for drifting I've street drifted so much I took out my old diff and it was in pieces. The driveshaft was slapping the underside of the car from the torque killing it.

I've replaced everything and its ready again to drift. This time though I'd prefer to take it off the streets and onto the track.

[mmm240]

We all grow up eventually hey? lol. Also, I'm pretty sure that "buyautoparts" is here to sell us some s***...

I'm in the market of fuel upgrades including an FPR, chime in on the thread i'm soon to make.

[kornmanz]

I just rebuilt the Areomotive FPR with the rebuild kit and put the injectors in. The ECU should show up today and I should be driving this real soon.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Getting all antsy in your pantsy aren't you!!!??

[kornmanz]

A little bit too ancy lol. More things need to be buttoned up but she loved the new enthalpy tune. Idled perfect, hit boost sooner.

Lets just say my downpipe needs to be modified among other things.

Yeah I'm surprised you didn't melt your windshield wiper

[kornmanz]

Who needs a windshield wiper anyway?
