Badbob's New Project Build ~ SR20det GT2871 ~ More Updates

[badbob2121]

took some more pics... tried to make these more FANCY

[S13AL]

I really like this car. Its very clean without any crazy aero and rolled fenders. The wheel and suspension setup must be enjoyable to drive on the streets.

thanks bro...and street enjoyable? kinda but not really, the tein ss are stiff as hell, but the tire size made a difference compared to the 205 40's...

[badbob2121]

replaced my sr20det inginter/chip with a q45 igniter/chip (the sr had epoxy holding it together to get signal....wtf) and went throught my wiring soldering any conections that werent already, with the help of a new buddy....

[badbob2121]

found a local junkyard and decided to check it out, well it had a 92 hatch, and had just what i was looking for...

i found 2 brown door panels (that are now mint due to some swapping from my old sh*t ones),

a actual 240 center tail piece (got tired of my JDM TyTE 180SX)

2 Q45 Ignitors

and a new center console armrest (one old had a crack in it)

and i got it for dirt cheap




and i was never a fan on the one piece tails on the hatches, and i dont see the point in $500 kouki's and dont think the ebay ones are special at all either... soo

[S13AL]

The paint looks nice in those pics. I also think the painted center piece gives a pretty clean look.

[truckmtr240]

Great!! except the paint on the tails doesn't really flow with the rest of it.

see on a black car i dont like the look of the hatch's one peice tail, with other colors it goes...just not black imo

[badbob2121]

so today i bought:

brand new in the box autometer c2 elec boost gauge (7160) for $70.00~~retail is $199.99

used but in perfect condition and complete, Greddy profec b dig boost controller for $130.00---retail $400.00+

so to sat the least.....

sorry for the crap pic but i didnt think it matters, ill take more when i install them.... thinking ill tune to 11lbs (t25)....should be quite a difference from the stock 6lbs...

[kozanatos]

Love the new wheels over the old ones!

[badbob2121]

so while i installed the boost controller and the boost gauge and once again i was screwed over by autometer...gauge is broken, the needle was pegged out past 30psi...so i sent it back to them and getting another new gauge thanks to thier 1 year warranty..... then after everything was installed, we began a street tune with the greddy profec b...


we noticed that there was some lag...just thought it was the tune, after a alot of tuning we stopped, checked all my fmic clamps and hoses for a leak, no leaks so we checked the plugs.... they were covered in oil....so i disconnected the boost controller and hooked all the hoses back to factory connections...

so i ordered a new valve cover gasket and spark plug well seals.... some brk7eix-11's and finally got around to that...


old gaksets, seals


all new



old plugs


and new


ill keep you updated on how the next tune goes.....

[night240]

u wanna trade cars lol im j/k looks good.

[barefoot mat]

i like it.
borat agrees
this sil-80 is

[badbob2121]

so another update...

soo i finally got rid of the breather filter setup that i was running, and ran it back into my intake piping, a major difference in overall performance, it runs healthier and idles better too

old setup...


and the new..






i also replaced my pcv valve because my old one was starting to gunk up and stick, which is no good...easy $5 fix..




and after the above i finally hooked back up my greddy profec b and got my brand new gauge back from autometer and wired it all up.. still needs some tuning (it was 100+ deg outside and i was starting to heatsoak really bad and doing back to back 2nd pulls wasnt too smart) so ill fine tune it when i get the time...and i also gapped my plugs to 0.30 for that extra boost

its tuned to 11psi right now... here are some pics





and the gauge.... the pod is crap and is only a temp.. it was only 11 bucks




and the overall setup as it sits...

[angelscrx]

Very nicely done.

[badbob2121]

so im thinking about getting a new exhaust.... keep in mind this is not my daily driver and i dont have to worry about unwanted police attention, due to where it is registered...

im thinking of the isis dual tip straight pipes

i dont really like my current top fuel exhaust, and for the price ( i know it is a knock off ) and the striaght pipes look alot cleaner than my current set up..

heres a link

what do u think?

and reviews?

[truckmtr240]

I love the way the straight pipes look, but wouldn't it be a hassle to replace it when it gets inspected?

[badbob2121]

^^^ not really, maybe 1 hour job every 1-2 years for state reg. and in my state, my year has no emission req....

[badbob2121]

so i moved my moved my timer....think it looks pretty good...



how old were you when you sat in your first s13?? my son - 3 1/2 months



he likes the deep dish steering wheels too...

[badbob2121]

so i got some new lug nuts , cant go wrong with Gorilla... black anodized for like 40 bucks alot better than the cheap chrome PAINTED tuner lugs that came on the car back when i bought it... they were a lil rusted...





and i also got tired of the one piece headlight look (it just bothers me) so i painted my jdm grille black, it was really sun faded and like this look better untill i wanna buy a gtr grille... looks ok for now

[S13AL]

gtr grill? what does that look like on a silvia front? got pics?

[badbob2121]

[S13AL]

Ohhh. That is going to look sweet. I thought you were going try to stuff a skyline grill in there.

[badbob2121]

ya that wouldnt be so hot.. i dont know why they call them gtr grilles??? but they looks alot better than the jdm one piece...

[badbob2121]

i FINALLY ordered my s15 helical lsd...

and no i dont drift so no need to explain why i should just weld my open (though i will keep mine just in case i ever change me mind )

here are some pics, should be delivered in about a week or so... and ill put in on asap..

[240sxjoe92]

[badbob2121]

here are some updated engine bay shots... nothing really new...

[S13AL]
