What does your car look like I dont remember ever seeing a picture of it

*looks at first page*

and I just found out that the valve cover gasket is different in my head gasket set? Wtf?

What valve cover gasket do i buy for my 93 ka? the set says 91-93?

[Idahos13]

Oh my bad must have just forgotten or something, ha my 93 is white like your 91 also! I dont know man you would think if the kit says its for 91-93 than it should be the right one.

[Future_gohan]

So the engine I guess is from an S14.

The head is an S14 head so I'm not sure about anything right now, I hope the head gasket is the same for it. -_-;

But it has an S13 intake manifold so I guess I'll still be fine, but I can't believe its an S14 ka.

[Idahos13]

Oh well that solves everything, I do believe that the s14 have a different valve cover than the s13 but im not quite sure. So that engine is a s14 engine, so did the person you got it from switch all the parts that needed to be switched? oh and are you planing to keep ur hatch white?

[Idahos13]

Ya thats a s14 valve cover, because it only has two holes for the bolts that screw into the head from the top, by the spark plug wire holes, while s13s have three bolt holes. So you might have to pick up a s14 valve cover gasket.

[Future_gohan]

Yeah, I found that out now. But are the head gaskets the same?

[Idahos13]

Im not really sure man. I would just go pick up a s14 v c gasket to be safe or see if the s13 one fits, its up to you.

[Future_gohan]

well the s14 one will fit, it must be an s14 head also because its different aswell.

But I just put an S13 head gasket on it yesterday? and it fit and aligned up perfectly fine so i guess it'll be fine.

[Idahos13]

well I guess its all the same then!, and I just noticed that I was getting all messed up ha you were talking about head gaskets while I was talking about v c gaskets my bad I gess im a little tired ha! But ya if the head gasket alligned right and was snug then I guess it doesnt matter.

[AutoShadow]

Lookin' real good, can't wait to see the finished project.

[hbpignosePA]

id assume the head gasket is the same...

its all the same motor, but u never know

[Future_gohan]

lol yeah thats true.

[Future_gohan]

Okay, well I talked to my auto collision teacher and he decided to straighten my frame out and fit it all up for me...for 5 bucks. no joke. haha

But he said it might take him some time to get to it, but I hope its no longer then a month, I'll tow it up there end of next week, and hopefully he can fix it all up.

I was looking at the old strut bar he had on it, and it was kinda bent upwards, so tomorrow I'm going to take my megan racing one down and see if it fits on fine, that way I can see if its bent over or not. I don't think it is because the hood and everything align up fine.

But as for updates///

I ordered a bunch of parts from advance to finish up my ka-t.

valve cover(I ordered one for a 1997 for the hell of it? hah) thermostatdistributor caprotor buttonfuel filter

But when i called I tryed to order NGK spark plugs with the part number 6097D, and they don't have them..but they're on the website.

So does anyone know what I should do about ordering my spark plugs? I want to get the colder ones like everyone says but They're telling me I they don't have them, so any ideas? Thanks..

[Idahos13]

ha sweet deal on the frame for 5 bucks ha, and do you have any other auto places like NAPA or autozone, but I would tell them that they have them on their website. Or you can order them from NGK

[95silvia14]

Since your going turbo, you're only option that I know of in auto-x is Street Modified (SM). That's a tough class to start in, but still gives you seat time. Make sure you read the rules for your class too. Even SM specifies having a complete interior.

Just food for thought.

nope i had to run xp in my s14

[Idahos13]

Hey I was just wondering if you are going to be running electric fans with a racing radiator?

[Future_gohan]

Hey I was just wondering if you are going to be running electric fans with a racing radiator?

I plan to run altima fans in the end, but for now stock rad, not enough power or money to buy a bigger radiator.

[Idahos13]

Ya, Im trading my Venom 400 for a mishimoto radiator and i already have some electric fans, but ya when you do your e fans you should do a write up on them!

[Future_gohan]

I don't know what I want to do with them yet, so I'll decide on it soon what i'll do.

[Idahos13]

Ya, so have you got any updates on the car?

[Future_gohan]

Ya, so have you got any updates on the car?

Well I've been working my a** off to finish this car, but I haven't worked on the car in a few days. I almost got all the sound deading out.

I'm gonna work on it tomorrow hopefully for like 15hrs straight, finish test fitting my intercooler, and finish the interior prepping wise. Take the dash out is a + if i get that done, i also want to test fit my new fender on and such.

[Idahos13]

Sweet deal man. I need to get my new ka24de in my car.

[Future_gohan]

yeah, and I need to get a way to tow my car to my school, which is a good 80 mile difference. -_-;

[Idahos13]

do you have a truck and a trailer?

[Future_gohan]

I have a truck just no trailer or dolly. I'm trying to look around and see if anyone has one.. ugh!

[Idahos13]

Good luck man! You have inspired me to do a KAT build when I have money.

[Future_gohan]

Hey guys, should I gap my spark plugs? Hmm.. I got the vpower NGK's.

But! I got another question. Does the N61 maf work with the kat build?

I have some pictures, you'll be happy. :]

[Future_gohan]

My Ka-t is almost complete, ALL i need pretty much for the engine is the turbo gaskets (intake and exhaust) i have the manifold to turbo gasket.

I also finished taking EVERYTHING i don't want out of the interior. I broke the top vents on the dash, in three places, they just fell part omg. I tried so hard not to break them but oh well. i'll get new ones. I also tore the lame a** alarm system they had rigged to the whole car.

I also found out that it is wrecked more then it looked, with the new fender on I can't open the door, I also can't actually bolt the fender one really, one bolt that's it. wrest are out of wack, but hopefully they can get it fixed. :[

Till then, heres my baby.













Btw, no dry ice, all by hand. haha

[Idahos13]

Its looking good man!
