True Pig Build

[breadbox]

Good call. I like power steering except on my auto s13 daily. pump is so loud right now, and I would love to get rid of it for a manual rack.

[martins_240sx]

yeah I was looking into what our lumberjack was doing with his rally car but I wasnt sure if id actually like it or not...wish i could fly over and try it hahaha

[breadbox]

lol, that'd be suite! I am gonna do the same to a F'd up leaky rack. Its in my parts car right now, After I jack the motor out, it shouldn't take long to remove the seal and get it rebuilt. I wonder if a shop could change out the gearing to a more suitable ratio.

[martins_240sx]

hmmm not sure...iirc he said he liked it on his build page

[Chris28]

I haven't checked this thread in a while, and all I can say is wow! The engine is amazing, I'm a sucker for an awesome single slammer setup. I'm really looking forward to the finished product!

[martins_240sx]

Whatcha gonna do with your old xsessive intake manifold? >:D

[idahotuner]

you build stuff almost as slow as i do. lol well atleast yours is original. mine is just machine shops holding me up. but my motor is together after 2 year. twin charging has always been interesting to me. i am thinking more along the lines of a rotex with a turbo would be sick, kinda like power enterprise did. what turbo are you running and how much supper charger boost

[martins_240sx]

8pounds sc and t3/t4 turbo

[Bumnah]

Your door panels remind me of RS door panels for 911s.
Cool stuff. I'd like to see the results of your twin charger setup.

[freerebel1993]

awesome build dude

[idahotuner]

hey you should post more pics of how you did that little gauge pod for the af r that isa cool little idea i might have to copy

[martins_240sx]

I wish i could...my computer crashed with those on it....but what i did was, Went to home depot and found a piece of pvc type tube...it was black. Note the gauge didnt fit in, way too tight. I took a file and shaved off some of the inner diameter of the pvc. I then traced the diameter of the pvc onto the bezel. With a dremel I cut it out. Then I took and positioned the pvc in the angle i wanted and secured it with jb weld stick....I used the jb weld stick to shape the entire thing. its kinda like clay but hard as a rock and doesnt crack like bondo. make sure you get the back of the bezel and pvc. then after i got it to the ruff shape i wanted i took regular jbweld, the 2 part mix, and spread it over the area like a glazing putty. I let it dry and then sanded it. Let the whole thing cure for a few days before painting it. sorry no pics

[idahotuner]

yeah i did a custom 3 gauge set up and avcr where the radio goes. used jb weld to do that. but this looks very nice.

[martins_240sx]

Jb weld is like baking soda...you can use it for anything

[martins_240sx]

only other one i have

[martins_240sx]

so me and my buddy (s13 with ls1 and ford 9inch rear end rocking 335 street slicks, lifting tires on demand) were brainstorming on my pully setup...it has been decided that im going to make an engine plate that will bolt in 3 spots on the timing cover/block and 1 to solid mount the alternator. it will be reverse fashion meaning the pullies and belts will be hidden. Im gonna mock up the board template today and then move to the aluminum and then take it to the water jet to cut it out of 3/4 plate...

[motoman399]

well that will be interesting. get some pics please. also if you wanna post pics/video of your friends s13, it sounds bad a**

[martins_240sx]

he was on here long long ago...he got flamed for asking info on ls swaps...he never came back..seriously one of the cleanest 240s ive ever seen. looks like it rolled off the show room floor. drag radials in back fully tubbed and caged with skinnies up front...i crap whenever he hits the gas....he just got back from afghan and now talks of twin turbo ls

[motoman399]

it sucks when people do that s***. some people just are looking for info, and dont know how forums work.

you should tell him to come back and be like what now bishez haha

[martins_240sx]

yeah. He jokes around about doin that from time to time...Im sure he will once he starts his twins. the thing is already a monster. it will still light of those 335 like they are 205s...i think he is around 440 ish...beautiful car...ill convince him to come back. Im sure all my local buddies on here have seen or heard it drive by

[motoman399]

you said it will pull the wheels off the ground? thats impressive and i wish i could afford 335's lol

what is the color of the car?

[martins_240sx]

yeah he can pull em..not crazy wheelie style but the wheels definetly come off...its a hunter green...not oem color. he needs some new ones...iirc he is rockin mickey thompsons.

[maj Andres]

I've seen that thing rolling around. Indeed, it's a monster.

[Milkmusic]

Just read this and all i can say is HOLY SHET!

[martins_240sx]

thank you...I just ordered my m8X1.25X150mm bolts..these things are long...when the come in ill mock up the plate in card board then masonoite then mdf then the final aluminum sheet to take to the water jet to use as template for the 3/4 plate aluminum.

Amazing Build

[idahotuner]

thanks for the pic man. your budies car sounds sick. there was a time i was talking about going ls1. and twin turbo but i would give some serious props to some one who does it first

[martins_240sx]
