S13 Hatch RB25det

[Hackbarthja]

I know compared to most of the cars on this site, it's not much to look at, but i'm very proud of it so far.

This is how I picked it up, not quite a year ago.



Everything was mint, I was so impressed with the condition it was in for our location (Northern NY)



I immediately installed an ISIS cat back





Purchased some wheels and tires, XXR 527 F 17x8.25 R 17x9.75









Purchased an NRG Steering wheel with quick release



Got myself a fresh repaint and powder coated the wheels green





I also picked up a front aero lip



But after a few weeks, I got bored with it....just around the same time my friend was selling his motor, and r33 rb25det, so I said why not?







During the time of the swap I managed to get my hands on some 180sx seats from Japan, lower driving lights, and a new shift boot.











After the swap was finished, I just decided to leave it be for the rest of the season, and of course take some pictures...













At the begning of this season I decided to clean up some of the issues i had with the install, and so it begins. Remove and replace cheap intercooler/IC piping, cleaning the engine bay from KA grub, need to clean up the wiring mess, and little odds and ends job.












This is what I have so far:

I'm really not sure, the previous owner had it around 450 I believe.

I'm going to tune it for 400hp, will be enough for me as a street car, i think.

Fabricated a bracket for the Intercooler, mounted, and mocked up IC piping with PVC pipe
