MICRoS13's Intro/Super slow Broke mans build -_-

[MICRoS13]

Well i've been on here lurking around learning new stuff & never introduced myself & my 240. But yeaa i'm 17 i bought it last year for 400$ running with no breaks =0 & it has never seen the road since im a broke teenager lol.. anyways my plans for the 240 is slammed smooth daily with some power, reliability, & best of all.... GREAT STANCE!. Here are some pics of it & if you guys have any like suggestions i can do to my car to aid it just tell me. & ooh mods so far are KYB AGX shocks & some springs Megan tower bars (came with car) & i bought a piggy lip & new hatch (not installed)











my bro's z

[S13k]

so does it have brakes now?

[MICRoS13]

Yep it stops now

[safin]

cool hatch

[93sivliaUsdm]

whats your plans on the motor?

[S13k]

Yep it stops now

great, i bet you that was a good start

[visser003]

Good luck with the build! Give us some info on your plans for it.

Also, smooth and slammed don't go hand and hand

[MICRoS13]

Lol we'll see. I plan to get PBM coils & other suspension SPL & as far as motor i have a spare vg30dett & im doing research on it cause i would love to have a very different 240 specially on the east coast so i think ill go with that. wheels maybe Advan RGII's or Desmond Regamasters but at the end which ever gives me a great stance ill go with

[s13 iDRIFT]

a new fender?good luck with it!

and is that a dent in the quater panel?

[MICRoS13]

No it's just a glare & yea If you guys have driver side fender laying around just hit me up

[93sivliaUsdm]

that would be awesome but wouldnt there be fitment issues?

[Black on Gold]

Where in NY are you? Good luck on the build

[MICRoS13]

i did a little searching & saw a successful swap & he had to modify the subframe & motor mounts & i believe put a j30 oil pan that's i think they had to do & here's a little teaser ill take more pics of the engine once i get hold of a stand & some tools >=o

I'm located in Long island & thanks

I've actually been toying with the idea of swapping a VG30DETT into my S13. From everything I've gathered it seems like you pretty much have to remove one of the turbos to fit it in there. I haven't actually done any legwork though, just searched around on the interweb. Good luck with the build.

[MICRoS13]

Yeaaa it just seems like major fitment problem would be turbos & manifolds & piping which i believe all can be fabricated & i want a perfect wire tuck so my engine bay can look flawless & i was thinking of getting the manifold Ferrari wrinkle red or Wrinkle black.

[arlrat]

ayo fam tht car lookin nice just bought 1 too nd i live in L.island too So hit me up nd we can ride or w,e pce Aim= arlrat

[Nonsense]

Tell your bro to give you his 5 lug ha.jk i too am a broke teenager and it sucks trying to modify your car being broke

[MICRoS13]

Lol i wish he's hard headed & think his z is the best... slow A** n/a & @arlrat no doubt bro i plan to get the swap in fitted & everything in A couple months & hopefully running by june when my bday comes. I have the ecu, Vg30dett block, Harness, some intercooler & all i need is a rebuild kit transmission & mounts for that i will contact mazwork hopefully they make some

[Nonsense]

I've owned a z32 and working in the engine bay was a PITA and one of the reasons i sold it.But i dont think thats going to stop you since you already have a block already.

[MICRoS13]

Yeaa my only concerns right now is power steering a/c & heat which i wouldn't mind giving up a/c & heat but with that heavy VG i need to look into that & ** does anyone know if anyone has ever did a gauge cluster swap ? i was thinking 5th gen max ?

[neda240sx]

VG love to see this get pulled off and out of the ordinary good luck

[MICRoS13]

Yeaa man no doubt im just waiting on my uncle to have room at his house so i can start tearing my car apart. Till then im saving up for a M30 Crossmember, Z32 transmission, J30 oil pan & im still doing research on if i need j30 engine mounts or no

[hatedinthemind]

VG30DeTT in S13

[frftw]

paint that piggy lip!

[breadbox]

Nice start. I say ditch the VG for something else, smaller and just as powerful. You could turbo that single you already have in there before you drop in a swap.

[drzm0st1ll3st]

^^ i second that. with the money you can spend on an SR swap, you can be different and turbo the single slammer. i will be doing the same thing,, its torquey and a fun motor to begin with,,, and it has 8:5:1 compression, 8:6:1: if its a 89 (i believe i have it correct, someone doublecheck that)..

Do research if you want. as far as i have researched:

350hp

cxracing turbokit, 360cc injectors, walbro 255lph fuel pump, and a nice tune would get you to 350hp. obviously new spark plugs would be needed too.

before all that, check compression! good luck with your car though!!

[MICRoS13]

I was actually thinking of building an all motor ka with itb's as my daily & fixing the vg untill i get a 300zx shell

[visser003]

Nice start. I say ditch the VG for something else, smaller and just as powerful. You could turbo that single you already have in there before you drop in a swap.

Smaller and just as powerful? HAHAPut the same turbo with the same boost on a VG compared to a KA and you will ALWAYS make more power with the VG.

What does this prove? That your dumb.

cxracing turbokit, 360cc injectors, walbro 255lph fuel pump, and a nice tune would get you to 350hp. obviously new spark plugs would be needed too.

A lot of misinformation here...Your not going to make 350hp on 370cc injectors (sr injectors) they max out at around 300whp and even then your pushing it. You shouldn't take injectors past 80% duty cycle and its always a good idea to have at least that much room in case you overboost. Lean conditions from too small injectors will blow your motor FAST.

Also, your going to need a tune, a bigger MAF, and many more supporting mods. Also, I would not recommend a CXracing turbo, cheap quality=lower power and lower reliability. DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON MOVING PARTS OR TUNES, YOUR MOTOR WILL BLOW UP.

One more thing, don't just check compression...do a leak down test, pull the valve cover to check the condition of the head, check timing chain for slack and tensioners for movement.

I was actually thinking of building an all motor ka with itb's as my daily & fixing the vg untill i get a 300zx shell

Just a reminder, the KA does not make much power all motor...even with ITB's and an amazing tune your not going to get over 200whp and to even get up to that power level your going to need high comp pistons and a dynojet. Also, like any highly modified engine, it will not be very reliable for dd'ing.
