Lonismo's RB S14

[Lonismos14]

I actually want to try so bad. Im very tempted, but i just dont know what im doing so imma drop my car off @ a shop im very familiar with. But im doing the body work. And yes i was looking at that pic and was saying the same thing to myself about the intercooler. Its going to be super sleepy. Might even throw some chrome 18" wheels for lols.

[Lonismos14]

Ok guys so i have been kinda of busy lately, but i have still managed to work on the car. I started by cleaning up all my vacuum lines, and installing my greddy catch can.


After cleaning up all those lines, my idle got way better. I kept wondering why my car felt kinda of slow for the mods i have. I am now seeing 10 psi and holding it. The car got crazy fast.

Then i went ahead and installed my C S headlights and jdm corners .




I think my headlights might be to bright. Well nico see ya later....

If they are clear and you didn't use projectors then it's killer glare.

[Lonismos14]

No i didnt use projectors. Thats why i think they are to bright, i can see the lights very clear @least from 75-100 feet away.

[Yellow4g63]

Aim the lights down more because you will be blinding oncoming traffic with your light shot gun.

[Lonismos14]

I barely even drive the car. But will do, i got a question for you yellow, what do you think is a safe boost level before i start maxing out?

Stock injectors without adjustment I would sat 14psi. If u have a fpr you can bump it up and be safe.


Thats a old dyno I did back in 05. The mods were PFC on base map, Walbro 255, Stock FPR, ripps intake manifold,FMIC, 3" exhaust and stock turbo with the boost to 14psi. It was running lean and I couldn't correct it since I couldn't change anything with that APenginnering PFC (no commander). I'm sure with adjustment 14psi can be done safely.

[TheRealNap0le0n]

digging the amber corners.... dont push the stock turbo past 10psi or the wheel may explode

[Yellow4g63]

12psi is fine it's over that you will start to worry. I ran mine @ 12psi for a long time before I turned it up to 14psi. I never did kill the turbo before I pulled the motor from the car.

[Gabes13]

Stock rb20 injectors really limit its potential. They reach the max duty cycle really quick. So lame.

[Lonismos14]

Yea they do. I want to buy new injectors, but at the moment i have my cash going in different directions. Well yesterday me and my paint guy @ Oreilly Auto Parts came up with my color . It's a fully custom silver we started with a 350z silver and started tweaking it until i was happy with it .

I will have an update tommorrow.

[Lonismos14]

Time for an update!! So i found this s14 SE that was wrecked in the front end at a tow yard. So me and my homeboy went there and cleaned up.

Before:


After:


And i pulled the rest of the stuff from my 5 speed swap!!

Before:


After:


And the rest of my interior back together.I had to relocate my hazard switch to.

What are you going to do with the old gauge cluster? I might take it off your hands

[Techsalvager]

only 230whp~ area? figured there be more but I guess it is a 2l
Nice looking setup since I've seen it

I got to drive a 400whp KA24DET lately though, pretty dang stout

If your talking about the dyno on this page that was mine on the stock turbo/injectors. I don't think lonismo has dynoed his car yet. Last time I was on the dyno I belted out 398@18psi with problems with my nistune . Haven't been back on since I fixed it but I'm more than confident that I'm over 400hp at the same boost level.

[Lonismos14]

Man it has been a long time since an update.... Got a lot of pics and thing to catch up on will be updating this thread tommorrow.

Whats up tech? Hows the Miata?

[Lonismos14]

Lets see where do i start...

So when i cleaned up on that s14 at the tow yard it was five lug, so i am too.


So while i was under the car and had it on the lift i decided to get some new stance diff bushings. And refill the diff with new fluid and repaint the cover.





I also acquired a kouki spoiler and some new wheels, side skirts and some rear valences..





And i followed what hoff suggested on how to relocate my fuse box and relocated my battery to my trunk.


Well thanks for viewing that is all folks.

[Lonismos14]

Next on my list of things to do is clean up the engine bay and my interior.
Brakeline tuck and delete abs.
Repaint under the hood.
Relocate my guages and greddy stuff.

[Techsalvager]

Allways a work in progress but I'm cleaning it up and making it work better.
I ran a terrible 9.38 in the 1\8, I never really launched it in fear of breaking the rear end, which broke a while later.
If I weren't in fear of the rear end I would use launch control and make some boost off the line.
Also I finally implemeted Mass air flow, rode up to warren robins, got around 36mpg~
Also hit a deer on the passenger side fender.
