OK, is getting a turbo rebuilt for $300 a good price..please put my pockets at ease!! I had a lot of shaft play.

that bov is a real hks it has the adjuster on it an nice bulid did u ever get oil leak fixed

well see about the oil leak, i hope it was because of the turbo not flowing right. While its outta the car im going to redo all the oil lines and rubber hoses for peace of mind.

I'm not one to say stuff is fake but I'm going with fake on this one. The adjuster just means it's an older version. (My fake one has one too)
Also as far as I know all the hks sqv's have fin like objects towards the back which are just for aesthetics, his doesn't have that.

Anyways majority of the fakes work fine and I have a fake one too but if someone started telling me their fake s*** was real, I'd call them out. Just loking out

I keep seeing unsealed batteries located in the cabin of cars, this is unsafe practice imho..

@Caveit and 240man, the hks bov is a fake-o all day long not hard to tell.

@neverlift, the battery box is so far down on my list. Gotta get the car movin first to worry about the battery movin. When the interior section comes itll get done.

the toxic fumes is my concern

if you dont ie a battery down and it slaps you duh it was not tied lol

Well got the call from the turbo rebuild shop and they told me my turbo is too far gone. He said he couldnt even get the housing off. Up %^%%'s creek. On the prowl for a turbo now. Damn i wasnt really trying to spend $800 this quick. Anyone know where I can get a nice non-ebay turbo for around $500 or so...

Ok so ended up getting another turbo 60-1. I wrinkle finshed the new piping red(wish I had black couplings) and did the same with the brake resivoir. I also started the interior project. I'm doing the the pillars in red suede, hopefully have finished by this week.

Nice build man! Keep up the good work!

thanks slowly but surely!

just purchased this bad boy...got it for a great price! only problem is that it has corolla rails on it...anyone have s13 rails and wanna buy AE86 rails?

thats f*** dope.

^^^dude i love it...just need some damn rails!!

Ok, finally the stuff I orderd as arrived. I wish the companies would disclose if they have the item in stock before I order..jeez. Anyway here is a new addition.

Heres the install. This is with all NRG parts just so ya know.
This is what you'll need:

Since there are no airbags on the S13 you just pull the center staight off(use some elbow grease and make sure the wheel is straight before you take it off!!)

Pull straight back

The nut in the middle takes a 19mm( You may want someone to hold the wheel, I didnt so I used a breaker bar to give me leverage.)

Once the nut is off, pull straight back on the wheels with hands at the 9/3.(use elbow grease). Sorry no pic.
Next, take the short hub and place over the stem. Then place the nut back on.

Next, take the quick release and put it on top of the hub. Place the screws(6) it came with in to the holes.


Attach the quick quick relase hub to the steering wheel with the screws(6) given.(Its the piece with the ring)

Then enjoy!!


Here are the model #'s. All is universal except the hub.




More to come when the weather gets better.

its been awhile since i showed progress so here are some updates;

Here are the strut bars and c-pillar bar that i wrapped in red tiger digi camo.

Heres an interior update. I know it seems weird with red interior when the car is burgandy but the car is getting painted black so it will look awesome soon, especially when the seats get put in. Also put in a dash cover to hide the orginal cracked dash.






Inatalled new hatch struts, you can see that thread here:
topic536616.html

Picked up these tails, I love'em

and put prosports new Halo line of boost gauge, a very nice gauge.

lol thought I was the only person with a c pillar bar. meh mines beffier... if you touch mine the whole car moves but its steel and solid mounted vs aluminum and hinged. Man yours looks way better though!

omfgmwtfiwt those tails ,where you get em? me and my buddy were just talking about split tails for hatch instead of the 180 lights.

Solid mounted c-pillar is awesome, was it a pain to install?

The tails came from sonicmotor.com, I spent about $60 on led bulbs but it was so worth it.

no it was pretty easy! I made it myself, I keep getting told to post pics by my buddy lol
you grab my upper strut bars and its like meh, you grab the c pillar and the car moves with it. and it doubles as a camera mount.

Well I am green eyed from your tails, so I cant talk to you anymore...
yeah its almost not worth doing the housings without doing good lighting.
I dropped 45bux on sylvania headlights and would have spent another 40 to get ultras if I could have found them local.

Thats a goo idea making it a camera stan and all...hmmmm!!
