My s13 project

[Bill_s13]

Thought a few of you on here might be interested to see some pics of my s13.

This is the second one I've owned , had this one for about 18 months now.

Anyways , took it off the road for an overhaul as the big ends , clutch and turbo gaskets all went!

Been off the road for quite a while now , but in summary I've got the old engine out , rebuilt it , and dropped it back in. Whist the engine was out I've had a bit of welding done .

Hoping to get the car back on the road by Feb ish , got a fair bit to do still . My new turbo will get me close to 300bhp with one or two more upgrades.

few more pics , got loads of most stages of the build if anyone wants to see more.​

Look forward to see it finished, should be fun!

Looks bloody nice!

Love old cars. So much better than the new s**t.

very nice and nice work on the engine. whats the spec to get it upto 300hp? Also get that back end de-spoilered

 

[Bill_s13]

The spoiler went ages ago , that's quite an old pic!

Engine is rebuilt with reground crank , ACL race bearings ,new oil pump , piston rings , new rod bolts/nuts etc.

The key component to get it to 300 is the turbo to be honest , it's a GT28R. 300 is pushing the top limit of the turbo though. I won't be running 300bhp straight off .

I already had a Greddy profec B boost controller , full 2.5 exhaust , K&N induction kit , iridium plugs & a front mount IC ,

Higher flow injectors and remap the car myself and I should be near my power target

This is of course providing it all runs , haha.

not bad, I remember looking into getting around 300hp for mine and the GT28R was recommended but to get a reliable 300hp I was looking at £3k as I cant do mechanics for the life of me lol, there were quite a few bits I was told I'd need, most of which you have listed there I think...
