True Pig Build

[martins_240sx]

okay kinda slow progress today...kinda an admin day if i must say so...I ordered the rollcage today so its kinda a race against time for this deadner removal. I will start the passenger side tomorrow the driver side is nearly finished, just need to lay down some paint thinner for the residue. also was looking at how to mount this hydro ebrake. looks like im gonna have it next to the stock one but kinda angled. still got to decide were to tap into the lines, since the ones that they came with dont reach anything!!! anybody who has done this mod feel free to chime in.

But any way here are some pics of the new Si exhaust valve next to a stock one. and pics of my combustion chamber polishing. the head is far from done. I still need to order new valve seats and valve seals...oh and intake valves.

My only update for the day.....
my vlave springs came in!!!!

[martins_240sx]

okay so i just added up my springs and i have 12 to many exhuast springs....damn you summitt you lied...any way these are up for sale now ( the 12 extras) I sell a box of 4 for $9 shipped I have 3 boxes

[youngmoney]

you're building a supercharged ka.....but for some reason the only thing i can think about are those wheels. any idea when they will be on?

[martins_240sx]

I dont even have tires for them yet. and im building a turbo and supercharged car...maybe this weekend ill mock up a side without wheels or something.

[martins_240sx]

okay. so today i finished stripping the sound deadner so now its ready for the cage to go in...whenever it gets here. i still need to remove the dash but ill do that tomorrow. also im gonna remove those damn rear strut box things in the back...holds the rear seat+no seat=get out of car. Ill post pics of my progress on the head later tonight depending on my level of intoxication this evening. oh also i ordered the aluminum plate and various other metals for the supercharger plate and brackets.

[martins_240sx]

here is the head as it sits, combustion chambers smoothed and polished ...all I have to do is get the valve seats and valves and seals...

[martins_240sx]

okay so today I think ive officially gone to a leve i didnt realize i was going to...











wow ive gone too far

[youngmoney]

tearing things apart is always fun. what is that orange/silver lever??

[martins_240sx]

ksport hydraulic e-brake... still got to mount it up and make the lines.

[chaosli]

are you still selling the valve spring and the intake plenum?

[martins_240sx]

yes im selling both still...tried to pm you but it aint working

[martins_240sx]

I hate wires...hopefully everything works when im done.

[martins_240sx]

I got the metal today for the adapter plate...it may be going to the water jet tomorrow...

[some_white_guy]

thats what you're thread just did to me...subscribed and jealous as f***

love the sohc, mayb one day i'll join you in the boostage of the piggy

[martins_240sx]

I love the Marine Corps. Im getting my flanges and supercharger plate cut out for free tomorrow. Just to give a heads up. I will be making this supercharger kit for the sohc for use with the eaton m62 and selling them once mine is done and bugs worked out. It will have complete intructions...depending how much i include in the kit will determine the price...so keep your eyes peeled for that in the very near future... and thanks white guy

Do one for DE and i am in!Good work sir and thanks for your military service!

[martins_240sx]

we will see about the dual cam version....i would actually need a donor motor to mock everything up to...it is a lot more than just bolt this on and this here and that there...but definetly is in the future as well...

[sx moneypit]

Sounds good my man!Keep us posted.

[jbracy7]

i think i just shat an elf @ the mock up pics. how r u gonig to keep that monster cool,the methol will help still. this will be amazing to see in person cant wait till your done with it

[martins_240sx]

I have the up most faith in this methanol injection...my buddy used to run this on his supercharged eclipse(v6) and he would beat the life out of it all day...pop the hood and there would be frosties on his supercharger....he was running 100%meth. Im only gonna be running 50/50 since its running through my car. but its also intercooled with a mishimoto radiator...

side note, roll cage comes on monday so tuesday its gonna start entering the car. I still have to remove the cat hump...gotta great idea for that. Im still port matching up the intake manifold, and got to still do the exhaust manifold. as soon as i get the cage in and the interior rhyno lined im towing her home and awaiting my completion of the engine. that still needs valve seals, intake valves, dual cam powersteering pump and bracket and line. I was also told my plates for the super charger will be done around tuesday, hoping wednesday since the hobby shop is closed wed and thurs

[martins_240sx]

Good news and some bad news.
First good, I got the sc plate and flanges, they are awesome, slight very slight fitment issues but it will be worked out before any go for sale.
bad...my brand new truck broke...powersteering leak and transmission went to shiz, and my camera was left in the glove box so you will all have to wait for pics...also might need to modify the hood...i mean will

[martins_240sx]

Okay so I got the roll cage most of the way in....pics below....and i started tinkering with the sc charge pipe...pics below...and yes it is electric taped.

[martins_240sx]

the cage is now fully welded in. I also modified the "cat hump" so that the seat bar goes sraight as opposed to "___/---" it aint the most beautiful but it wont be seen much either. I also bought a lincoln welder. I got tired of paying 12 bucks an hour to weld. Ill snap some more pics on friday when the shop opens again. I have to make new door panels since my door cannot shut with them on...ive got a wonderful plan for that!

[martins_240sx]

I have the throttle body charge pipe all mocked up and tacked into place, damn near perfect fit, everything is gonna barely clear..Now i just need to start on the bracke for the pulley.

[sx moneypit]

Looking good man!

[martins_240sx]

sorry its been so long guys, marine corps stuff. But any way the entire intake manifold is assembled. everything lines up. just got to make small adjustments before i start selling these. on a side note, my doors wont shut due to the cage and door panels. so im making new ones...pics below


these will retain all switches and be wrapped in similar to stock fabric...oh no speaker holes

[martins_240sx]

more pics..



just need to powder coat the pipe

[locoluna825]

ive been waiting, so long! to see how you were gonna mount that thing. Nice

[martins_240sx]

yeah thats how it will go...and under careful mental debate i am tapping the supercharger for the meth nozzle and the needed vaccuum lines. I just today mounted up my lines to my hydraulic ebrake. I will be showing many pics of this since I could not find many for a 240. Also ran the meth supply line up to the engine bay. tomorrow is somewhat of a wiring day...maybe...
