Hey guys,
I figured all this talk deserved at least a little pic-action. So last summer I spent all my time and money on my project, but I quickly ran dry, and I was going from paycheck to paycheck, putting every penny in my car. I didn't get anywhere near where I wanted to get, and I didn't work out all the kinks, but here's where I was at:
VLSD swap complete: 1995 Infiniti J30
Race clutch
3" dummy exhaust, welded by buddy... Soon to be redone professionally
T04E
Tial 38mm WG
3" FMIC piping
Type S BOV
Big FMIC (never measured it)
550cc galley injectors
Z32 fuel pump
SAFC-II
Q45 MAF (actually an RB26DETT)
Lots of etc.
So it's not anywhere near done, but here's how it looked when we fired it up to run SAFC-II numbers:
From the front: a modified S13A front end that I had laying around. I know it looks stupid, I just wanted to show how sneaky the FMIC is:
This is the engine when I was redoing the spark system, no exhaust or FMIC piping attached:
So it's nothing special, but when it's done it should be nice. I don't aim for more than 325whp, because it's scary. There's a 2" spring drop as well, and shaved everything. Stock rims and such. I plan to paint it this summer, and get a real exhaust. We did actually port the WG into the exhaust to make it nice and quiet, because I like the
whooooosh noise. I ran it at 15psi for a little while, but 7-10 are what it's usually at.
The main point of this project was the engine swap. The turbo kit just kind of fell into place. I really just wanted to wire in an S14 motor because my KA24E spun a bearing.
