I'm back (maybe, sortof)

[SloS13]

Lots of new faces here. I've been on a hiatus for a bit. Let my beloved S13 go about 8 months back.....like an idiot.

Might be buying my little brother's S13 here shortly. Needs a bit of help because it's got a few problems but i'm hoping to get it running well enough to be a good turbo candidate. It is Auto and will likely be staying that way.

Basically I just wanted to say hey and I'll be on the boards again to help out where I can and hopefully catch up on a lot on all of the KA-T developments I've missed.

Sup man, long time no see!

Whats goin on guys, I remember you!

Well, I was living in AL. My motor was crapping oil everywhere so I put in another motor. One night I was at the track and feeling stupid. They didnt have any race gas but I turned up the boost and crossed my fingers. Ran 111mph @ 13.5 (bad tires lol). Went for a 2nd pass and broke a ringland.

Swapped in another motor, de-turboed it and could not for the life of me get this thing running right. Compression was great, fuel was great, from what I could tell spark was great. I was about to move to SC and didnt want to bring a broken car with me. Worked on the car for WEEKS and I was just pulling my hair out at that point.

Found a guy who offered to trade me an EF hatch with a Z6 swap for the S13.

We traded and he found out.....it was a bad plug wire (NGK eat my ***!)

Long story short, I boosted the EF and it's been running awesome, but its FWD.so..yeah. Bought a house, got married yada yada.

So now I want my little bro's s13 so I can relive those days of yesteryear lol.

Most likely won't keep the s13 for too long. What I really want now is a turbo miata but I figure I can fix up his s13, boost it and sell it and make some profit off of it.

Dude, I have a 05 Miata and Im planning on doing a 13b swap in it. 4 to 5g's and mazworks makes the kit .

Got a friend at APG Performance that did one before says it ****in owns with a few sand bags in the trunk lol.

[SloS13]

hehe. I'll probably just keep the stock motor in the miata (when i get one), those motors hold up amazing under boost.

As for hunting down scammers, im 140lbs soaking wet and not all that intimidating.

are you talking about the 1.6l or the 1.8l? Cause from what I have read around the 1.8l isn't all that great for boost, but then again on these engines and the size of the car, a nice T28 with about 8psi will make that car fly heh.

[SloS13]

Unless things have changed, from what I remember they are both great motors for boost but the 1.6 rear-end is weaksauce. I'd be shooting for ~250whp or so.
