1995 S14 Re-Build *400HP SR build*

[Mitchum]

quick update, i see i forgot to mention my mom got me a NISMO leather shift knob back in November for my birthday im sure ill get pictures of it someday...still waiting on my intercooler a month later.

anyways, today is December 26, that means boxing day-which means to you Americans,well it means nothing. But its Canada's version of black Friday. so i was outside the electronics store at 3AM this morning, Picked up some car audio for my car for fairly cheap. Yes my car is going to have a sound system....

anyways, Pioneer Deck, 2 kicker DX amps for future speakers. and my Kicker ZX 1000W amp Ive had kickin around for a few months now. I buy audio when its cheap, which is pretty much once a year haha.



Also, my wonderful girlfriend, who is taking University-with Art as her major made me a little Christmas gift, She found a picture of an S14(kouki) on google, im surprised enough that she even remembered it was a Nissan haha! Yet she remembered TE-37's are my dream wheel and managed to find one with those too! Anyways this is now hanging above my bed.

[JKL1031]

hhmmm so did i get ripped off on my s14 se with 260xxxmiles and 58xxx on the rebuild for $3200?

At first he was dreaming around $4700. Glad i didnt pay $4k..

[youngmoney]

you paid too much. i hope by saying that you feel like s***!

kidding i hope all goes well in the build . ill be watching

[JKL1031]

im not the OP, what i bought was drivable.

[Mitchum]

Cool stories bro's

[JonathanPrem]

Nice man . I also bought Pioneer deck at future shop to0:)

[Mitchum]

another update. Got my GReddy R-SPL inter cooler kit today, to keep it simple it looks awesome.



Anyone translate Japanese? haha

oh and my new shift knob


I also got very bored and decided to pull everything and lay it out, my parts take up most of my room and my exhaust takes up all of under my bed, i kinda forgot how much stuff i had laying around until i laid it out.

[nevertheless]

Damn those are some nice parts. I hope your keeping it Zenki

[Mitchum]

uh, well it will remain a Zenki for now. Im not going to touch the body untill it is where i want it mechanically. I have some rust that needs to be taken care of and paint is still being decided...im torn between a metallic grey or keeping it the OEM concorde grey.

But it is a very good chance it will someday be a kouki, my right fender is beat to s***, my hood is messed up and my front bumper needs to be replaced...so i may just go kouki.

[Mitchum]

quick, but big update.

found my motor, $1900 for an S14 motor set with a freshly machined head. Comes with no turbo and the head isnt complete.

the plan is to fill it up with a BC head package.

I also filled out the missing turbo by ordering the good old GT28RS, or as you may know it, disco potato.

They should both be in my possession on Saturday the 5th. ill post pics when i get them.

[Mitchum]

sorry for the wait with no pics....
I dropped the motor off at my shop so no pictures of that thing till monday...its just yout typical S14 SR thats torn apart...

but the fun part is here...GT2860RS .64




im looking at taking out a loan from the bank for about $5000 to build credit so I can buy a house at 25...so i may finish the car somewhat soon. Or atleast get it running...

[Mitchum]

cleaned up the block today and got it fairly stripped down. waiting on a new thermostat and timing chain kit.

[Mitchum]

dropped the bottom end out of the motor and its off to the machine shop. im hoping to capitalize on a possible Easter sale from Enjuku for my internals.

[Ghettopoptart]

^ this, i might get in on this as well.

[Mitchum]

picked up more parts today...down pipe was an impulse buy.


New NISMO thermostat and OEM timing set.


finally got my valve covers from the shop

GReddy down pipe

[Mitchum]

quick all words update. Made a big order on the ER memorial day sale.

Again, nothing but absolute praise to ken and everyone at Enjuku Racing for all there insight and advice.

[mastakilla08]

nice!!

[OM3GA]

Wow, this is a good solid build. Right-on

[Touge_Drifter]

Looking like u r on your way to hitting your goal! I would have want .86 on the turbo, buts its all good! you dont need the greddy manifold unless you want over 400whp. If thats what your going to be going with do the version 2. you'll also wanna get at least 850cc injectors (i like using sard) then invest in a stand alone with a MAP conversion!

[Coolwhip]

loving the build

[Silvia_Ks_90]

Hey Mitchum, great build so far! Basically the same route I woulda taken had I done an SR ( maybe a bigger turbo, but im like that lol). Lotta good quality parts, what's the timeline on the project? Running this summer?

[Mitchum]

Thanks for all the advice. I predict ill want more power eventually so I'm trying to build the motor based on that. I was looking to pick up a bigger turbo but got the GT28 on a pretty good sale. So maybe in the future I'll pick up something along the lines of a GT30. But for now 400hp is my goal. 350 I would be very very pleased with.

I don't see the car running till next summer with the parts I still need and school tuition being due soon. But we will see.

[S13_RB25]

Nice build bro! Can't wait till im out of college so i can spend my $$ on my car lol

[Mitchum]

as promised









side not here....I stopped driving my dodge dakota due to gas consumption and price...so parked till winter is


I know what your thinking, " but wait mitchell! with Dig em' parked how will you get around?!"

I introduce you, to my new, and fuel economy improved, $400 1992 geo metro-with sweeet street mods...

[OM3GA]

lol that car is a steal. Those cost like $1200-2000 out here and they aren't even race-ready.

[Mitchum]

Hahahaha I literally love this car. I plastered all my extra stickers on it. I love cruising in what is with out a doubt a "ricer".

I got it off a family friend. Consider Its less than half the Dakota to insure and twice the milage I love it. I thought I would spice it up
A bit. Let my inner rice run wild on it instead of my S14. Oh dear. Haha. Now if only I could get the courage to list my truck. I miss driving it. But to sell it...the extra money would be nice.

[Mitchum]

RANT

ive been intending to build my motor myself, however with a shortfall of time and some recent family stuff ive started looking at getting the block built by another shop. Through the shop I work at we do quite a few motor jobs/performance swaps on mostly chev stuff. We get all our motors done by one shop. I called there today and told them it was my personal motor needing assembly and the block machined. long story short the second I said NISSAN 2.0L he stopped talking and said "were not interested, we wont make any money off of it, we dont know the condition of the parts going in it, its not worth our time"
I was annoyed, I kept my cool, told him I understood and I would do it myself or find someone willing to do it for me. Thats when he said "well if you can wait until like January when its slower I might be able to find time as a favor to your shop"- that pissed me off, big time.

First of all, im in no rush, its not waiting until January that is my issue- its that he may be able to do it as a favor. We do YOU a favor by having one of the city's bigger accounts do ALL our shop based work through YOU. Secondly, I was going to accept your excuse of "I didnt order the parts, they could be wrong"- but show A little faith, the parts are all BRAND new in the box, quality isnt an issue, part fitment isnt an issue.

I could go on, but ugh. Hes a good guy, but really? treat a paying customer like this? I could careless if he called me tomorrow and offered to have it done this week- my work is going somewhere else even if it costs me a little extra.

[Mitchum]

just my empty bay before I start to hide things, block is being built, crank is being balanced and hopefully will get back to me this week.

[Lobo240sx]

I introduce you, to my new, and fuel economy improved, $400 1992 geo metro-with sweeet street mods...

Nice picnic table and build . I got my Corolla for $800 when I first bought it bone stock.

[Mitchum]

got my block back about a week ago, will get pictures. Also ordered more parts today, should be here in a few weeks. GReddy S14 Intake mani, and Tomei Exhaust mani. Fancy huh? I sat and sat on the Megan mani, but decided stick with quality i feel i can trust. pictures when they arrive.

now onto fuel...
