No air filter?cnichols wrote:*Only thing left going in that bay is the radiator and overflow tank.
I refuse to add it all up because it would probably make me sick. I wanted to make sure I did everything exactly the way I wanted (within reason). I put in a stock motor w/ 29K miles controlled by a Painless Wiring Perfect Standalone that comes tuned for a stock motor. I spent so much making everything work properly and making it as bulletproof and clean as possible, that I will have to take a break (financially) before I do any more power mods. Hell, I spent $150 on hi-temp/hi-quality wire loom alone, so you can imagine what I spent overall.corey240 wrote:so how much will it all cost when its all said and done, is it built or just put in?

My thoughts exactly! Haha, exactly why I did it.JustinStrife wrote:

It's a handful, that's for sure, but after hearing it start...well worth it. I am in a whole nother world right now knowing that it starts. Once I get all the loose ends buttoned up and get everything in place, it's time for the maiden voyage. So far, no oil or fuel leaks! Power steering is the next test.ozzie! wrote:Not sure I will ever have the guts to take on a project like this myself....Good feeling getting it to fire up first time eh?
good job on the start up man. heres a y pipe i sold the other day to someone for almost the same motor.cnichols wrote:Still debating...haha. You got me there. Actually, I think the filters will go outside the bay, but there will be a pie cut/lobster back 'Y' intake pipe that will exit on both sides of the bay if I get around to it.
Gotta keep that symmetry.
Haha, it'll take longer than 15 seconds for it to get to operating temperature. I just wanted to make sure the damn thing ran before adding coolant in case I had to pull that ***** back out. I HATE coolant! Yes, I have an LSD and don't plan on driving it in the rain. I've been driving an S14 since 96, so I don't expect having too much trouble keeping it going straight even with the new found torque.rsmithdrift wrote:Don't let it run long w/o a damned radiator... jeesh. I wouldn't run it till it was completely done.
Anyways, that + s14 = you gonna have your handsfull anywere that car goes, especially in the rain. Hope you got an LSD...
I'm VERY glad I went with the Painless, because...well, it was just that. At the moment, it is setup for a completely stock motor and they are in the process of releasing the software. So, for now, I'm "stuck" w/ the current setup.d!ck wrote:Awesome build! I'm still on the lookout for a motor for my car. How is the Painless system? Pretty easy installation, right? Does it allow for easy tuning down the road as well?
I should be down that way at some point to hang out w/ a co-worker of mine and I go down on business every once in a while.thekage wrote:I like the cool orange horns.
Sweet build up dude. I'm about an hour south of you.. I want a ride in that beast!
I wish that would work, but the clearance between the throttle body and radiator is too small and needs a much tighter bend.srpowered240sx wrote:

1. Where is your fuse box?

Yeah, I'm a finnicky focker.240sx2nr95 wrote:You went with the blue tracer after all that? rofl
What did Brock do with the foxbody?

Got the fuel rail covers, but I'm not happy with them, so time to sell and figure something else out.240sx2nr95 wrote:Fine, being all sneaky and crap! You get those sweet accent pieces yet
