maybe went overboard on SR build

[hoosier240sx]

OMG love the motor build! but why not go with a bigger motor?? like a rb 25 or 26?? just a question i dont mean anything bad by it

RB's are really heavy and throw off the power to weight ratio in the car since all the weight is focused on the front end. On top of that their expensive as heck to rebuild.

I just like the s14 sr20. Beside im getting a car with a rb26 in september!

[alms24sebring]

dam that thisng is fresher than a baby's a$$. Very nice and clean job! Love the good flat black, wheels, and matching valve cover, and most of all the sexy set up. good luck

^ you bastard.

[TNUBS S14]

Looks great man! Cant wait to hear that beast up and running!!
Sad to see this isn't crowded with comments, this is an extremely expensive and legit build, but no one is loving it!!
But would love to see the car a little lower, but i know michigan roads blow!
But sick build man, i love it and can't wait for more!

I think more people would comment if they weren't straight dumbfounded with awe. This is the sickest build i've seen.... ever! Pretty much where I want to go with my engine. MAD props sir!

[Touge_Drifter]

Thanks. Ill post more pictures soon. Dump bids will be at the end of the month. Both hi and lo boost settings.

[DeXteR]

This thread sucks.

Seriously... When is this thing going to be done?

[Touge_Drifter]

End of the month...........and Dexter I hate u! Call me later!

[terry_240sx]

that turbo looks HUGE!!!

[Touge_Drifter]

Kinda......still room to go bigger

[dak0n]

Very Very Very nice motor setup man, it looks like my motor setup (s14 sr20) but with everything i wish i could have. Whats the next car your getting with the rb26, skyline?

[Touge_Drifter]

Yeah. Im picking up a R32for a track car. Could care less about driving it on the road. Gotta love s14 sr20's

[dak0n]

nice i heard the 32 is a fun car to drive, and yeah i hear that, i love my s14 sr, kinda a pain in the a** compared to the s13 sr, but that little extra is worth it lol!

[Touge_Drifter]

Only thing the s13 has better is high port manifold. The greddy version 2 makes the s14 sr have the same thing.

[dak0n]

nice, I'm running a semi built block with a turbonetics t3/t4, my car is my everyday driver and im not looking to do any crazy hp, my goal is 400rwhp and im good to go, but for drifting, i heard upgrading intake manis makes bottom end suffer due to turbo lag, but make a huge difference on higher hp and top end. although someday ill prob eventually upgrade, and its good to know about my options!

[Touge_Drifter]

Its not as much as you'd think. I got a hook up on a full top mount turbo kit if your looking for something. Message me on here!

[OM3GA]

This thread is still awesome.

[dak0n]

my t3/t4 is a top mount, but sadly im hitting a wall money wise, i still need to paint my car, get z32 breaks, finish a few small things on my motor, and pay off my seats lol!

[Touge_Drifter]

This thread is still awesome.

^^^thanks. Gotcha about the small engine stuff......it kills you!

[dak0n]

especially how all my friends happen to have the stuff i need laying around, but for a s13 sr, which makes it useless and expensive to me >.< lol

[Touge_Drifter]

I have a second s14 w/stockish s14sr20det. puts down 314whp. im just a s14 sr guy.

[dak0n]

its easier for u since u actually have a s14 lol, as apposed to my s13, but if all goes well ill have a 2nd s14 block soon, rebuilt but with stock internals, ill either sell it or use it as backup.

[Touge_Drifter]

The s14 sr or s13 sr bolt in the same. the wiring is kinda the same, you just get the benefit of valve timing and a bigger T28 turbo.
You'll really enjoy either!

[dak0n]

yeah lol, i ran my stock sr in my black 240 b4 a drunk driver hit me, my block was ok, but iv been paused rebuilding it since, but i agree, it was to much fun lol for being stock!! i was running stock 8 pounds boost. getting the wire harness spliced was a pain!

[Touge_Drifter]

Let me know who everything goes

[dak0n]

def man, any idea where you stand rwhp/trq right now? im really curious heh

[Touge_Drifter]

Dyno session is at end of month. im guessing low at 496whp @20psi (probably around 525) and no clue for high boost.

[dak0n]

nice! cant wait to see the results

[Touge_Drifter]

will do!

[Touge_Drifter]

So here's a little update. the intercooler piping is run, the custom intercooler is done and the stainelss steel exhaust if getting finished up. all that's left is a little of the wiring and moving the gauges to their new home. then hooking up the AEM ems and engine break in. followed by tuning for both low boost (20psi) and high boost (34psi) Im not one for the estimate game. should have in time for the sport compact shootout.

1 side note. I went with a Tial BOV instead of the HKS limited edition black one I had. someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse!

I'm gonna keep an eye on this build. It looks epic. I've never been a huge SR fan, but I'm loving this build. You really built an exceptional motor. How much power are you planning on putting down?

Also, I know this has been said a million time, but I absolutely LOVE your wheels. Keep up the good work.
