I'll take my good job back when you can turn that fram off with ease. LoL

[Mettler]

Gosh not another FRAM filter >_<

[canadiandrifter240sx]

The fram filter is just a temp. I only got it to test fit the size ect.... They are cheap and easy to get which makes the good for moch up but that is about all. I will be ordering a wicks or the brand that redline seld ...I can't remember the name right now.

Thanks for the coment though guys. I just added the flex pipes to the down pipes and am about to start the side exits and cross over. Will have more pics soon.

It has been a while since i updated this thread last. I was realy busy over the holidays so not much has been done.

I have the left bank turbo manifold almost finished. This is a bad pic but you will get the idea. I will post more soon.

wow Chris, that looks awesome. I can't wait for you to finish this. Hell, I'll even make the trip from Toronto to St. Catharines just to check it out

Need Updates!!!!

[canadiandrifter240sx]

Hey guys.. sorry I have not updated in a while but I really have nothing to update you on. I was layed off work in the spring so money got tight, I also moved my shop in the spring aswell.

I have not had time to work on my project since I moved shop. It has been an amazingly busy summer with all the drift events and track days and moving in with my girlfriend etc.. I got third place in the CSCS championship points serries.

But drift season is over so expect to see some more progress soon. I need this car done for next season as I plan to enter a pro drift series next year.

Anyone want to sponsor me?

If you want to see some videos of me drifting just search S1DC on youtube or google video, I am in the white s13with the big S1DC on the side.

You are my inspiration for my vk45dett (vh internals) s13 project lol... I want to basically run the same exact setup except with smaller t25 turbos. I am even going to position my engine and turbos exactly how you're doing it. I been wanting to do it something like that, but didn't know how it looked until I saw yours.. What size injectors do you have? Is it the stock 370cc injectors? Is that enough for your setup or are you going to upgrade them to bigger ones?

bump

[canadiandrifter240sx]

i was going to wait till i was all done makeing the engine look pretty before posting pics but since the thread was bumped I might aswell put a few pics up.





I have started cleaning the engine up and polishing a few things. I am not going to go to crazy with the polishing but I want it to look good.

[Reno]

Damn dude i want to do the same exact thing your doing :/

can you provide me a list of what you did and how much? Ballpark i mean

like for mounts and umm yea, myself and florida240sx would like to do the same with the vh45de into the s13 ThX

[T45]

Awesome build! I love the use of the coolant neck and bypass of the tstat housing.

[Jeff Williams]

Man, that idler pulley looks like crap!

Just busting your chops. You will have many many hours in just polishing the heads and timing cover.

This is definitely a great project. and I applaud your effort. You need to mount those blow-off valves so they stick out of the hood, they are so pretty!

[canadiandrifter240sx]

Thanks for the coments guys.I will not be polishing the heads...that would take too long. I am more of a function over form kind of guy but I want this car to be really clean, mainly because it will help get sponsors.

I have finaly found a suitable rad and I will be ordering it today which means I am 1 step closer to starting this baby in the car. I still need a good clutch and wastegates.

I am hopeing to have all the engine work done by the end of this year.

Looks great keep up the good work.

[canadiandrifter240sx]

I am sorry man , but I don't think I can give you much help when it come to cost. Everything I have done, I have done myself and alot of it with parts that I already had laying around the shop.All I gan give you is:

Engine $650CADZ32tt transmission $250 CAD (with starter and flywheel, everything is from japan)transmission adapter $1063.00CAD (wow)Griffin Scciroco Rad $200USD shippedCustom 1 piece Drive shaft $550CAD Shippedmost all other thing i got for free or dirt cheap like the 42mm elbows for the exhaust mani's. That size pipe is not comonly used in Canada and proply never used in the US but I am in the pipe fitting / pipe welding heating buisness so I happen to find the last 10 know elbows in the country and got them for free.

I hope this helps. Not sure what else to tell you but if you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

[leonphelpss11]

Are you using stock injectors? How much power is the stock injectors good for? I may have missed this in the past posts, but are you going with standalone or a piggyback

[tmorgan4]

I posted a spec sheet on stock injectors a little while ago that I got from Deatschwerks...can't remember what the stock ones were good for hp wise. Search my name and you can probably find it.

I just saw this thread

*subscribed*

Updates please

[MSkinner]

theres only one word suitable to describe this project!

and thats OOF!

cant wait to see it finished!

[canadiandrifter240sx]

Ok, ok I know it has been a long time but I have an update! After 3 years my girlfriend has realized that as a car guy, I spend too much time working on cars and she has moved out. Yes this sucks but hey thats life. The good part about it is I have alot more time to work on cars.

So thats what I have been doing. This week alone I have modified and bunged the oil pan, built the shifter linkage and bracket, finished welding up the engine mounts, built the altinator bracket, made the rad hoses and started on the rad/fan shroud.

The engine could be ready to start theis weekend but i am waiting for the waste gates to come in. ok well on to a few pics ....more to come soon.

[Razi]

Wow this looks like a great project, and looks like it's coming along nicely.

btw. Did you make your own rotisserie? What are the dimensions and stuff?

[a_ahmed]

Very awesome, looks like two sr22det engines put together heh. Looking forward to it. I'm sure it'll sound amazing and go amazing, not exactly a handling car with all that size and higher up weight, maybe will go well for a drift car just as how RBs with added weight up front make it understeer then power oversteer into a drift easier... but definetely a monster drag car and just super cool imho. This kind of engine should go into an F40 replica or some other mid engine car heh. Awesome awesome engine...

[T45]

Hell, I'll move in with you! I can cook a few things and won't give you **** about working on the car either.

As for the sechs we can work something out. I'm thinking that we can order some asian hookers a few times a week, maybe even import some jdm teens and lock them in the closet. I'll make you a happy man!
