Hi all,
I just picked up a clean 95 with a kouki front. KADE-T .63trim. 550 injectors and z32 maf. It's good to drive a 240 again. Damn these things just shift great! So far what I missed most. Help from a lightweight flywheel lol

She is mostly stock, less the turbo kit.

Came with a UEGO AEM wideband, autometer boost gauge, and I dunno what boost controller.
I have the wideband and boost gauge set to go in my ashtray (whenever I make or find a cluster)
I still haven't chosen a power yet, not sure what wires are hot. The cig lighter is right there, but not sure if it is switched or constant on, I don't have anything to plug into it right now to find out.

The boost controller is rather generic looking, although I don't know a lot about them. To use or to find another?

Is supposedly on an 8lb spring, but the waste gate is dumping way early (I think) And she still has a factory fuel pump. I found a 255 locally, but it is for a 4g63 DSM. I'm not sure what is needed to make work with an S14

I also found a vac line and a hard line near each other not connected.

Image

I know it is hard to tell, but the vac line does not connect to the line under that connector, it is open.

And I have this thing with a resistor

Image

It is attached to said connector earlier and looks to run back to the maf. (I didn't pull off the loom to find out for certain)

All together, I am pleased. Made the drive home (600 miles) just fine, less some odd engine hesitation with the wipers on intermittent. Really weird, only when they moved too. other wiper settings where fine. I'm thinking bad switch, maybe?

I've got the steering column apart, but I don't see anything out of place.

Hey Matt!Glad to see you made it back OK!The resistor thing is the air intake temp sensor.The vacuum line and the steel tube was part of evap canister s***.I don't know what is up with the wipers though,i never drove the car in the rain after the turbo install.Never had that problem before that.

Thanks Ben!

So the line and tube don't need to be plugged?

You may just want to put a cap on the steel line just for the hell of it and follow the vacuum line back to the source and cap it off.

Very nice looking ride. I can't imagine the connection between the wipers and the hesitation, but I will be interested to know what you find when you get it sorted.

Nice looking ride pimp.

What size wheels are those and are you using spacers?
