Some pics of my S13 drag car :)

[drifter_for_life06]

looks really nice. Have you wired those switches in yet? what do they control?

[TurboB15Sentra]

From left to right...

Switch 1- FansSwitch 2- Fuel systemSwitch 3- ECU and interior accessories

Switch 4- Nitrous oxide and bottle heater

All of them are tied in through the ignition switch too... I have it to where I can leave the key on the ACC1 position, and run the fans to cool the car down between runs.

I still have a lot of work to do.. I have to build a cage for the car, put in the fire suppression system, and build a scatter shield/driveshaft loop.

vey nice electrical work Travis. You're building the cage? How many point you gonna make it?

fire superssion shouldnt be too hard.

[drifter_for_life06]

haha jsut noticed your car is blind in one eye : p

[drifter_for_life06]

antoehr thing. Whats the advantage of the CAS block off plate?

[TurboB15Sentra]

I am having a local fabrication shop build my cage for me... It'll be up to NHRA standards for sub-10 second passes.

The CAS block-off plate is used, because I am running a stand alone that utilizes a magnetic pickup sensor and steel trigger wheel to get it's info.. So the CAS isn't needed. A block-off plate must be used, otherwise, oil will sling out of it.

You know, I could be wrong, but I could swear that NA S14 SR's did not have the VTC solenoid on the intake cam. It looks like you have a DET head on a DE bottom end maybe?

edit: and if it is a DE head, it wouldn't be a CAS block off plate, it would be a stock distributor blockoff plate. Only the RWD DET uses distributorless ignition. If it had a CAS when you got it, then you know what you really have.

Yo whats your address. It says that PMing is disabled

[drifter_for_life06]

thats awesome sub-10 legal. What do you estimate your shake-down pass to be if everything goes well?

[whiterps13]

You need some skirts or something, that is fugly, no offence. Huge aggressive front bumer with no extra aero = retarded.

rofl, your a little harsh but you still read my mind

Awesome s13 I wanna see video and dyno graphs when you get them

Nah.. N/A S14's did have VTC too. It's a DE motor for sure. It's got the smaller valvestem seals.. meaning it's got non-sodium filled valves. This only came on DE motors. It had a distributor too.. Sorry, I called it a CAS block-off plate. :-p

Hmm... I'll take your word for it. It's just I saw an ITB S14 Q's in Japan and it's cylinder head looked like an S13 SR. Strange though. no problem about the CAS thing.

[TurboB15Sentra]

Maybe they switched to the high-port S13 head... It does flow a little better on a N/A setup.. It has better port design, and allows you to run ITB's a lot easier. The S13 SR head will bolt right up on a S14 block.

Travis

[drifter_for_life06]

whats the advantage of that?

[BuudWeizErr]

interesting. never thought about that.

[TurboB15Sentra]

The S13 head has a better flowing port design.. The ports are shorter, and flow better at higher RPM. This means that it will make more peak power. The ports on the S14 are smaller and longer.. meaning that low/midrange RPM power is a little better.. but top end is sacrificed.

Travis

[BuudWeizErr]

i could have sworn that the S14 ports were shorter, and thats what the VTC was for, to subset the low end power loss of the shorter runners.
