Well, this is my public display of my build; I got some free time and decided to share it with the masses. It started out as a s13 hatch I picked up for 100 bux, with massive amounts of rust, and didn’t go in reverse since it was auto. Within a year, it was outfitted with a RB25DET compliments of Jon Powell (10 points if you remember him !) After about a year, I decided to upgrade to a Power Fc, which was one of the biggest mistakes I could of made, and I think was the reason three of my pistons ring lands decided to take a s***, ohh my turbo took a s*** as well. Again sound reasoning got the better of me and I decided to build the motor, instead of picking up another motor. This was the cause of my near 5 year down time. I decided to build the motor with a Rb26 crank, and forded rb26 rods and pistons. This setup would allow me a minor stroker kit of around 2.7 due to the bore I did on the cylinders. I found this to be worthwhile when I read the dsport magazine and they gained about a 600 rpm difference when going from 2.6 to 2.8 . For some reason I got the bright idea of twin turbo lodged into my head, and after 2 failed attempts in doing this I gave up (first setup was a set of twin 16gs from forced performance, the second setup was a set of stockers from a r32 gtr). I have now settled on a 6Boost manifold with a Hx35. I contemplate using the bottle, via the zex turbo nitrous kit, or even running meth, but I will let my situation dictate when I return home, ohh by the way I am in Iraq. Back to the s13 hatch, I thought doing rhd was awesome, but that also was a massive waste of time and money, the car was rusted bad and no one wanted to fix it. This bought me to my current chassis, a red zenki that I labeled the red rocket.The red rocket is a 96 zenki I purchased for around 1500 dollars, with a fubar dash, the fog lights wired with speaker wire, and a million and one minor problems. Being the perfectionist that I am I worked on every issue making the chassis way more fitting of the motor. Well about a year of me partially not thinking what I need to do and being affixiated on f***ing twin turbo held me up. Enter Iraq round 2, while I was here I dropped the car off to a local shop. They did good work on it for me,(mainly wiring) I think the work was very very expensive but I wanted my car done and they got it running. So I am still here dropping butt loads of cash on it and I run across a decent quality kouki, for 3500 shipped I hopped on it. Seeing as how I wanted to do a s15 front end on my zenki and I needed it to be painted, I would settle on a kouki for half the price of what I wanted, and not including the money I would make on selling my old chassis. Well I finally have almost every part I want / desire, the only things I need are some decent rims and brakes and I will be super happy. I just need to swap everything I want from the zenki to the kouki. During this build , I made and lost friends, had a ton of fun and a ton of stress, but definitely a learning experience in the end. I want to thank my friends and families for their endless support and for helping me along the way. Also the endless amount of post people answered for me.

Re: (sean@z1)
Carlos, I saw you mention in another thread about possibly wanting to get an rb26dett 6 boost instead of your RB25det one. If you want to sell me the RB25DET one you have let me know. I have cash in hand. Actually let me know either way.
Thanks dude.
