[Slideways^Jordan]

Sick pics ben whats up with that train.

[idahotuner]

my budy with that gsx works for the rail road so we get to work on our cars in their shop. this was before we dida leak down test on my car. we are going to go down and take some more pic in there later. with his x and my 240.

[datsun2401972]

Wow, my Dad woulda loved to see that pic of the 240 and the train. He was a huge train buff....but he never liked my japanese cars(WW2 Vet) lol

[Naloos13]

why do people find this thread so interesting?

[datsun2401972]

Do you have a stock block sr running 400whp? No? THEN GTFO!@#

Hehe j/k, it's interesting because idahotuner is making progress while others are at a standstill(me).

[idahotuner]

why do people find this thread so interesting?

if you like cars then you would like my build. i dont know how long you have been on here but we are all buddies and follow each others builds and take and interest in them. otherwise we wouldnt be on a car forum.

[urcaptnspeaking]

truth..who ever thinks this isnt interesting needs to not be a part of any car owners group.

[Naloos13]

truth is.....i do like cars....i do follow peoples builds...well i follow peoples builds that are doing something new that is, something that will take the 13 to the next level. I can flip through my phone and come up with atleast 10 people that have the same setup. IDK, maybe its just me, but although you have done quite a bit, it just seems to be.....well... done all the time. and to datsun???? i do have a built sr that should dyno in somewhere around 450whp/maybe more who knows. See i really am sorry for having to come down on you. Im just getting annoyed with the local 240's, is my car rice threads, and just average builds.

[urcaptnspeaking]

what you say isnt true at all. Not everyone has been as meticulous in their builds as Idaho. Just because you put out 400+ doesnt make it a quality car. He has taken the time to basically rebuild the car ground up with "better" parts. Yeah your local 240s may have the power and a coat of makeup to make it look pretty but when theyre rusting and rattling apart 3 years down the road Idaho's car will look just as solid as it did when it was first finished. Thats what makes this interesting

[Naloos13]

Ok, idaho congrats. you have made your car a whole lot nicer. All im trying to say is every single time i pop over here to check out what people are up to, the only thread that is every active is this one. and i just dont get it. Yes, your car is cool, but it is not anything crazy that imo warrants however many pages this is. and lastly, my friends and i all have fully built s13 track only cars. That means top of the line interior, exterior, motor, underbody, custom fabrication, and one off mods. So with that Idaho, i ask you. Whats next? keep on going, i would love to see what else you could envision w/ your car.

[idahotuner]

yes i replaced every single damn bushing on the car car is solid. pretty muhc brandnew when it comes to suspension and parts that can wear out.

although it is set up as more ofa track car which stinks. should be tracking it soon.

in my area there are all civics running around i have seens 2 other sr powered 240 in like a year and half.

[datsun2401972]

Lets see some pics of you and all your friends custom fabbed 240s! I'm sure it'll help inspire greatness!@#

And more than likely some people on here aren't trying to impress anyone other than themselves, like me. I really don't care if the wheels I buy are played out. Or if the turbo/manifold design I use has already been sold to 1000 other people.

What it boils down do is some people just like to drive and enjoy their cars, while others like to shout out to everyone "look at what I can do!" and have the most expensive parts or custom fabbed everything on their cars.

I'm sure Idaho will find the balance he's looking for, even if only to impress himself.

You sound like a spoiled rich kid. You don't like the build, then move along.

[Kalypso]

got a new engine harness today, if it works and the ecu gets current, then the coupe is back.

cross your fingers!

[Slideways^Jordan]

HAHA sounds like Naloos13 is jealous of bens Thread, thats childish.

[Naloos13]

i wouldnt say spoiled, i would rephrase to successful self made 20y/o. Im trying to move on...that was my whole point, this thing always pops up.

Those are nasty looking rims. One curb rash and the thing is a goner.

[idahotuner]

dude seriously.

i appriciate input on my build and if you have any help full info. but you just come in here saying there isnt anything great about it.

it makes me happy, i didnt build it for you. now i would like it if you would edit your post to remove pics and such as this is my build thread if you dont liek it then you dont have to comment.

oh an maybe the cool thing is i have built my car from the ground up and i am under 20. completed almost all the way in under a year. paint should be coming soon.

[White Comet]

my friends and i all have fully built s13 track only cars. That means top of the line interior

if its track only, why does it have interior?

[urcaptnspeaking]

damn I missed this "track car"..

[cmoody2006]

Yea me 2 what track car we talking about here....? I'm really surprised no one has been on my build lately i forgot to whore it out... lol But I've got lots of work done on it here lately and I found my camera! So I'll have nicer pics finally...

While I'm thinking about it... Idaho what clutch do you think I should buy for my dohc ka? I am looking around this week for one....

[RCCC_DRiFteR]

lol k, great? mine isnt either, u asked, i told. simple as that

Just thought you might actually have some manners but guess not. Simple as that.

[RCCC_DRiFteR]

and lastly, my friends and i all have fully built s13 track only cars. That means top of the line interior, exterior, motor, underbody, custom fabrication, and one off mods.

The chesesiest thing I've heard in along time...But so you enjoy weighing your "track" car down with "top of the line" interior What exactly makes interior so "top of the line"?? and please give a real definition of "top of the line" exterior. that would be helpful alot...and thanks for the pic of your track car

[idahotuner]

the pics of the car are gone because i asked him to remove them becuase this is my build thread. and if you wantot discuss his car and his friends car make another thread to do it.

cmoody i would say an exedy clutch if you going to be running pretty much stock.

[sbird1]

Hey ben. I have been looking at an HKS GT2540 turbo. Do you know anything about those. How much psi can they handle? This is a SUPER threadjack btw...

[idahotuner]

i think it is a ball bearing version of a t25 but slightly bigger. if i remember correctly is good up to like 320 hp. but dont quote me on that

[silvia_ks_69]

y not go with garrett?

[Slideways^Jordan]

Well HKS is badass to they need some turbo loven also. lol

heres some info off the the HKS website

I thinkits good around 320-340hp

GT2540 Turbo HKS GT2540 - 350 PS Output

COMPRESSOR:-Wheel- 46 Trim - 51.7 Inducer / 76.2 Major-Housing- 60 Inlet / 50 Outlet - 0.60 A/RTURBINE:-Wheel- 76 Trim - 53.8 Major / 47.0 Exducer-Housing- T3 inlet / Internal Skyline Type oulet - 0.64 A/R

[RCCC_DRiFteR]

i think it is a ball bearing version of a t25 but slightly bigger. if i remember correctly is good up to like 320 hp. but dont quote me on that

do you mean it will max out at the HP range or that's the power range where it does very well?? Cause After I get back from boot camp I tihnk I'm gonna start another build and my power range I want to be at around 300ish

[idahotuner]

i read it was good up to that. but liek i said dont quote me on that.

so today i pulled off my cold and hot pipes cause i need to replace a gasket on my turbo outlett. i am going to get a s14 throttle body pulley, retune and am going to paint my valve cover a new color and change some other things in my engine bay.

cant wait to get my BEE R REV limitor!

next i will do maybe a stero finally and some other stuff
