This is my first car, its a 91 S13 hatch LE with abs. When I first got her she had kouki tail lights, noname exhaust with a blitz tip welded on and a freshly rebuilt KA and transmission.



I saved up some money for a while and got:-300zx front brakes with drilled and slotted rotors-K-sport coilovers-tanabe front and rear strut bars-apexi N1 dual exhaust-17x7.5 rota drids with falken tires



It handled really well and had decent power, but after driving it for another 6 months I wanted more. I saved up quite a bit and got some more power.

-S14 silvia front clip from venus auto(clip came with aftermarket metal headgasket, turbo elbow, bullet downpipe, 300zx MAF and a saurus tuned ecu)-S14 vlsd-nismo fpr with adapter-walbro 255 fuel pump-piping pro intake with apexi filter-sard 550cc injectors-megan exhaust manifold-megan testpipe-ngk spark plugs-dual altima fans-mysr20 radiator hoses-mishimoto intercooler with custom piping-greddy profec b spec II-greddy pulleys-miata bettery-misc. replacement gaskets and lines

looking good, i like the black intercooler pipes, i did the same to mine. Any plans with removing hicas? i have an eliminator bar, but the hicas pump sure is ugly in the engine bay imo...

Thanks for all the comments guys. The only things I would change about the exterior is maybe a front bumper to get more airflow for the intercooler and a spoiler but nothing flashy or crazy >.>.

take out those faded black plastic caps (where fog lights go) and make some ducts out of that silver tubing you put behind dryers... you know what i mean..

Well I broke in everything and everything and it seems to be running perfect . I decided the other day to run my car at the 1/4 mile to see how fast it is on stock boost. I ran a 13.5 at 98mph, but the interesting thing is I found out that my boost keeps gaining psi all the way to 8.5k rpm(and that I can rev to 8.5k). I get 7psi around 4k rpm and it gradually climes to 9.5 psi till 8.5k rpm.

Getting an engine with work done from a clip / wreck would scare me not knowing the old owner. Just because it could have been beat to death. Did they test compression for you before you got that puppy?

Hey those vents below the turn signals are hollow so you wouldn't need to take them out to get air flow. If you took them out the tabs that screw them in would show, so I don't think you'd want to but it's up to u.

I suggest taking the little plastic piece behind the headlight cover off, at least on your air filter side. If your hood insulation is gone then your filter will get more fresh air, especially with sleepy eyes.

Nice car. How was Venus Auto? We are talking about the company in Sacramento right? Been looking into getting a clip in August and would love to know how they were from start to clip delivery.

I know I was a bit worried too when I put it in my car but it's been over a month now and it's running better than my KA, even with an open BOV. Yea they started the motor and compression tested it and it seemed fine.

Yea I did have to clean it up a bit with all the wires and such, but Im still trying to work on my power steering pump kinda hanging there.
