s13 - rb25 + 383 + boost = MATAfied's ride

V8 240sx? Sure! If either the chassis OR the engine is non-Nissan (i.e. SR20 in an RX-7 or LS1 in a 240sx), we've done it.

Man...running that through the N1 is gonna be LOUD. My little KA running through the RS*R is wicked loud. The N1 is basically the same exact design...loud might not even describe it accurately

Holy f*** come to mind

Looks like a few months since you updated this, but what you had done to date looks amazing. I hope you are/were able to complete it. Very inspirational.

Dude! Ur build is kick a**! Love the fab work. Looks like were all going from rb's to small blocks lmao! I thought about old school small block also and if I was n/a that's the way to go, but for boost + distributor = cannot change timing under boost which makes it hard to tune. That's wat took me away from that and put me in the chevy lsx motors. ;) can't wait to see ur final ride!

use a ms1 kit just for timing control it would work perfect for controling timing on a n/a carb setup.

All I have to say is hoy s*** that has to be fast. lol Great job on the fab work! I was super close to picking up an rb25 for my s14, and decided to go with a small block ford, workin on motor mounts and a turbo header right now for it. Probably around a year until I'm close to starting her up though. Love your work though!

Getting ready for some wheels and slicks , B magic overfenders , front and rear

Break out the heat gun, it helped me out allot. I didn’t want to cut slits and have to reseal the wheel well.

So the metal will stretch if you have the time and energy
