Damn dude its looking much better then before. Itll be nice having another SR out there, running again, that I can ebat up on though :P

JK man, hope everything keeps going well for ya.

BTW, this is Justin Finken, the guy with the gold RB25 S14.

Whats up dude? You got that turbo on there yet?

Not yet clutch blew up, but I got it repalced with a Heavy Duty ACT 6 puck, so that set me back a lil on putting the new turbo on.

I am I the only one worried about bondo in engine bay and radiator support?

when done properly you wont have a problem, bondoing body panels after a drift crash never works. but using thin amounts to smooth stuff out is just fine. underneath is all dura-glass which is a great base, that doesnt expand even close to what the bondo would. Don't hate.

[metal_mulisha8888]

colorado represent! lol.
if you arent already a member check out conoc.net. it would be nice to see this thing in person when its all done!

how much power are you looking at putting to the wheeels?

Im hoping to break 600hp if not 700, im going all out. fully built bottom and top end with a huge turbo

[FinkenS14]

Im hoping to break 600hp if not 700

ehhhhhhhhh

[metal_mulisha8888]

ehhhhhhhhh

definately not going to be a very friendly street car, but it wont ever miss a sunday down at the sonic lol got some rb's to destroy haha jk

[FinkenS14]

I was saying ehhhh to the 600-700 hp claim.

Not trying to rain on your parade bud, but Zach has a built SR20 on a 3071 and he can barely get it to go past 400whp.

Your going to have to go with a pretty big turbo, and by that time, your lag is going to rediculous, and not good for anything but going in a straight line.

RB + 37R = SR dessimation :P

I sold the 35 and got a 37 :P

[PyR0NiAk]

400whp is easily doable on a 3071 and some good cams... If he's barely getting there, I blame the tune or a lack of some good cams. Hell, codyace did it on a rom tune with S3 cams and a 2871 .64 AR..

yea but if we are talking about the same zach, he has baby cams compared to mine, and im no longer going with the 3071. the smallest will be a 3076. going twin scroll, e-85, water/meth injection. still debating on what turbo, im going to dyno my s*** on 30+ pounds so i should easily break 500. been talking to alot of tuners, and i should surpass 600.

[FinkenS14]

Well I guess we shall see when it gets there then wont we

[metal_mulisha8888]

exactly

[metal_mulisha8888]

Well guys, i am finally finished with the engine bay, it looks way sick. took alot of work, and some extra money that i didnt plan on spending, but it is definately worth it now that its reality and not just something i imagined. Couple minor things will need to get done, such as running steel braided fuel line into the engine bay, and steel braided brake lines.... still dont know which direction i wanna go with that. But my main focus is switched back over to the engine. Its.... in a way.... almost done. Or at least i keep telling myself that to keep myself sane. Enough Rambling here are the pics

[PyR0NiAk]

I like it... I've always wanted a Gold S13 but I'm not ballsy enough to try and pull it off...

[nevertheless]

I am, what color code is that?

[metal_mulisha8888]

nothing too crazy, i just wanted to post a picture of the car with the front end back on. It looks really good, just go back to the earlier posts and look how bad the engine bay was and how it looks now

[FinkenS14]

Damn dude when I came into your work and you told me you did a gold engine bay I was a bit skeptical....but after seeing these pics, thats sick as faaaaaaacccckkkkk.

Any plans for the outside of the car? Wheels? Coilovers?

[metal_mulisha8888]

im going to convert to the 5 lug and then get some xxr 006 in the black/copper. Coilovers, im still deciding on. Trying to get the motor finished, but the damn hospital bills keep taking all my money lol

[FinkenS14]

Get coilovers man. If you go with a strut/spring set up you will regret it...

[PyR0NiAk]

im going to convert to the 5 lug and then get some xxr 006

Umm.. 006s come in 4 lug. Why go through the trouble and money for a 5 lug swap when you can get XXRs in 4 lug? Enjuku sells a set of 4 for $475

[metal_mulisha8888]

to make doing a brake upgrade easier, i would hate to have to redrill rotors every time i need a new set

[Camaro Chris]

UPDATE!!!

[PyR0NiAk]

240sxmotoring sells Z32 Rotors predrilled for both 4 lug AND 5 lug...

[Justin35ll]

looking real good man, nice work

[metal_mulisha8888]

i got plenty to let you guys in on, i just haven't had the time to take pictures and check back into the site, busy working both jobs. just wanted to drop in and let you know the build is still going on, and that i haven't gone bankrupt yet lol. Ordered my brain crower pro series rods on friday, those should be here later this week. other then that, theres not alot left that needs done, just alot of little stuff. ill take pics of the progress as soon as i get the motor and head back from the machine shop and i start throwing it all back together

[metal_mulisha8888]

picked up the rods this morning, waiting for the machine shop to get back to me and i will hopefully be throwing this thing together soon!

[metal_mulisha8888]

well the flywheel came in like 10 minutes ago. Payday is friday and I will be ordering my clutch! Only a few things left to do motor wise. Then I just need to save up for the manifold, turbo, and downpipe. Switching to top mount. Also need that greddy intake manifold, so maybe i will get that first. Anyways kinda of a lame update but its closer to being finished none the less.

Picked up my clutch kit today. Just gotta drop it off at the machine shop so he can finish balancing the crank. Then all i will have left are little bits and pieces.... and a turbo kit .
Its an ACT 6 puck unsprung. the one thats good for 576 ft/lbs, can't wait to let you guys know how vicious it is haha

[CA18Magic]

Nice. +1 on forged internals...

Unless you plan on going through trannys like water, you should go with a sprung. Those springs help soften the blows your transmission takes. A few yrs ago I bought the same setup and after talking to a few people that knew more then me (including the vendor that sold me the clutch) I returned the unsprung and got a sprung. Unsprung clutches are like adding a lighten crank pully to your engine, sure you get response but your car will be bye bye soon after a few races. Beside 576ft lbs is not that easy to get to so you most likely won't need a clutch with that rating. If you do then twin plate is much better for your application. Other then that, your doing great keep it up.
