Idaho Tuner's 240/|SR Build thread

[White Comet]

i see, yeah lengthening and soldering istn that bad at all thu

[homeslicej2]

Looking good man

[idahotuner]

yea i jsut dont want ot risk anything not going togehre right. i am goign to play it safe. and hten maybe do that farther down the road., i thin kthe way i am going todo ti will be pretty clean.

[White Comet]

im anxious to see pics then. my friend is a pro at wiring so i enlisting his help, i could do it myself, but he can do it so much faster

[idahotuner]

i wonder how much it wuld cost ot havea shop do it later one, but for now i will stick to my plan.

oh the oil pan is coming off. i need to clean it out and use new sealant, becasue the perso nthat did that job used way tp much.

[White Comet]

there are a lot of shops that offer wires tucks, just look up some places local to u and ask around

[idahotuner]

yea i might do that. do you have any idea how much they run. poably not worth it lol. with labor costs these days. i will ust see waht i cna do first and go From there

[White Comet]

yeah u can do a lot urself w/o removing the motor, it shouldnt cost too much. i recall seeing a semi local place do wire tucks for like $150ish

[idahotuner]

yea but that right now is 150 that can go towars soemthing else on my car. like a circut sport divided turbo exxtension

[idahotuner]

ok i am in the process of orderign my autometer gauges. oil pressureoil tempboost gaugeegt gauge.

and i might order the aem wideband later on

[bgsr240]

Woah, woah, woah, before you go hacking apart your harness you probably need to make sure it runs first lol.

Awesome build and nice parts, but I just wish I could actually get my S14 sr to actually start.

Sweet! I got the oil temp and pressure, and boost gauge from autometer, I just dunno how to wire them, so when you do yours, let me know incase I can't figure it out lolI just read comets comments, are you going for a wire tuck? because if you are, its a B*** to get ALL the wires to go through the intake manfold. The injectors arn't too hard but if you do the CAS,TPS, MAF, and what not trhough the manfold, its a tight squeeze but can be done, jsut letting you know now. aww but you have a greddy nvm haha I forgot, lol I wont erase my comments

[2LO4URHO]

Wow man what ya got going on here? building a beast? Good sh*t man keep it up!

LOL YEA THE GREDDYwill make it a hella alot easier to do. and the injecots i might just run on top but i ma not sure.

I ordered the gauges through heavy throttle. cause therer web site was the most user friendly to do it. so when i instal lthem i will post pics

Woah, woah, woah, before you go hacking apart your harness you probably need to make sure it runs first lol.

that is why i said i am going to wait. and put that at the very end of the todo list. i want to get this baby runing

Wow man what ya got going on here? building a beast? Good sh*t man keep it up!

yea man. the goal is 400rwhp and 300 lb tq. i am aiming for a street able and ocasional drag car. i think my set up so far will hit the expected numbers no problem.

thank you all for the comments. makes my dad better to see other people apriciate whaat i am doing, and jsut talking about my car makes stuff better.

"Sweet! I got the oil temp and pressure, and boost gauge from autometer, I just dunno how to wire them, so when you do yours, let me know incase I can't figure it out lol"

I have all those gauges too. They all come with instructions. Its really quite simple once you get all the correct senders and such.

[bgsr240]

Oh yeah, when are we going to see a massive snail hanging from that Megan manifold? LOL

I'm guessing gt2871r? Probably the .86 A/R version? You can get the gt3076r internally wastegated too.

That's my goal if I can actually make some progress.... gt30r bottom mounted all stealthy like... its tight but it can be done.

[duffman1278]

Well I got mine all used and I got the instructions online BUT, i'm not to good at reading electrical instructions, the symbols just THROW me off completly.

As for idaho, the injectors arn't hard to extend, just match up the color wires from the KA and splice them into the SR.

[2LO4URHO]

Cool man if I decide to drag the one I'm building maybe we'll combine our intergalactical intellegence together and build us a couple of nasty strip cars lol

[idahotuner]

what do you mean correct senders. the thing said they came with everything to intall them and hook them up.

I'm guessing gt2871r? Probably the .86 A/R version?

good call. lol that is the plan. y dad bought me the megan manifold so i got it for free. i am happy wit hit, and it has a ton of suport braces and stuff. to keep it from cracking. the .86 it is the snail going in and 400 rwhp should be quite attainable with it. wit hthe mods i have. i am not trying to go over the top. best bang for the buck i s the plan. the bottme end is left stock.

As for idaho, the injectors arn't hard to extend, just match up the color wires from the KA and splice them into the SR.

yea i looked at them the seem pretty simple to extend jsut 8 wires. and i do have to extend the narrow band o2 sensor wires as well.

Cool man if I decide to drag the one I'm building maybe we'll combine our intergalactical intellegence together and build us a couple of nasty strip cars lol

dont tell any one but it is planing on being a nasty street car as well.

[duffman1278]

That reminds me, I have to extend my O2 sensor wire as well, but I don't have any of those red,white, and black wires eep

[idahotuner]

yea ia mnot going to use the same exact wires. it is only like 4 inches i need to extend it. so it wont really matter that much.

[duffman1278]

Than what kind of wires would you use? I'm a noob in electrical ftl

[idahotuner]

OH YEA I GOT free shipping on gauges. made me excited lol.

[DeXteR]

looks nice!

keep up the good work.

[idahotuner]

thanks. it is really coming to gether fast now. lack of funds is the only thing holding me back

[idahotuner]

I dont care what happens becasue at the end of this month "IT'S TURBO TIME" arnold swarzenhagers voice.

[White Comet]

Woah, woah, woah, before you go hacking apart your harness you probably need to make sure it runs first lol.

iirc, the engine was running in teh car before he pulled it. true if hes swapping i wouldnt mess w/ anything at first. but if it was running when he pulle dit it shoudl run when it goes back in

[idahotuner]

the car ran great before i started the work. the only problem was that is iddled hihg when you wwould first start it up.

[idahotuner]

so for tonights update.

i swapped out the broken fuse box o nthe passengers side. pulled off my lower sustec brace and painted it green instead of the red it was. put my wiper silinoid back onpainted fuse box lids after i scanned them.

drained my motor again. and did soem clean up i nthe shop. from where iswapped intakes and the such. tomorrow i am going to start body work i believe.so i wil ltake some more pics then.

[White Comet]

the fc is like that from the factory, its revs to 2 k til its a operating temperature
