project car

[rotodouche]

so this thread got raped when the site went down, but heres an update. the engine is finally out of the S14 thanks to josh and jamie :thumbsup: im gonna do a few little maintenance things and a few little upgrades, then stick it in the S13. Im gonna put a clutch and flywheel in it, head gasket, oil pan gasket, new oil pan, header (cuz mine wont fit in the S13), and i think i saw it leaking from where the engine meets the trans, so probably a gasket there too. im gonna make a seat bracked and then thatll be in. i may have ligned up some coils too(there stance, itll be LOW :biggrin ), so its coming along pretty nicely. it shouldnt be too long now...im pretty excited

and im picking up a free RB20 tomorow just to mess around with. it has a spun bearing and it in peices, but i think itll be good to learn with. ill put it all together, then take it apart and do it again lol.

[rotodouche]

picked up the RB today. i think ill build it up a little and then boost the piss out of it :thumbsup: idk what im gonna do with it yet lol, but im not one to pass up free skyline parts. and itll help me learn about what goes where, too.

[pjnightss]

i was looking at a rb powered 240 a while back, but the deal never went through. have fun learning though. :thumbsup:

[rotodouche]

good at puzzles? this is my engine

http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd150/kyrorx8/RBinpeices.jpg

[frank]

its an easy puzzle when you know all the parts are for one engine. i swap out an engine in a saturn once and it took me about 2 hours trying to figure out where a bracket went only to find out it was off of the motor from the junkyard.

[rotodouche]

ya, im gonna get a manual for it, but i should be able to figure it out i think. the only problem is it has a spun bearing. idk if ill be able to just replace it or if i need a whole new block or if someone can machine it or what. i wish it was an RB25, i could just buy an RB30 block, which would be rediculously cool

[frank]

If its a spun bearing then it could be fixed with machine work on block and crank and a set of oversize bearings, usually.

[rotodouche]

ya, thats what i was thinking. where is there a place that can do that and how much do you think it would cost?

[frank]

Well first find out what machine work it will need then start calling machine shops and getting quotes. I had a quote from a place it was cheaper than any other ones i had as soon as i can find it again ill post it.

pull the crank out and check it for scoring on the journals. if it was serious damage, you'll see it on the journals.

but you might be able to get away with just replacing the bearings.
replace all of them together.

when you pull the connecting rod bearing caps off, you'll see half of the bearing on the inside of the cap; the other half should still be on the inner diameter of the connecting rod.




if i were you, i'd clean all those parts and reassemble the shortblock
to see if you're missing anything, and to learn how it all goes together.


when you put it all together in hopes of running it, you're gonna need a few precision tools, i'd go ahead and get an engine stand (it'll allow you to work on the engine while standing upright, and you won't gouge up the block.)

[rotodouche]

ya, im gonna get one.

what the hell is hanging off the back of your car? lol

[AminalPlanet]

i think its a kitten....

WAR KITTENS!

[rotodouche]

LOL yeah, a lot of carkids i talk to refer to it as my "drift charm". i just thought it was cool, so i clipped it to my tow eye. i guess it doesn't help that i drive a 240sx; everybody already assumes i drift

[rotodouche]

lol flat black 240+squirel hanging off the back=drifter. isnt your car auto?

[StealthFighter1]

drugs lots of drugs


i called your friend to get the engine the night he posted it and i told him i would get it that day he gave me the runaround for like 2 days and then told me he gave it to his friend which is fine , cus all i wanted was the alternator anyway....

[rotodouche]

what engine? im using the KA from the S14 i bought...

[rotodouche]

ok then.

i got a seat base and a harness from boost and destroy, and my gasket kit is in the mail. oil pan is gonna be coming soon hopefully, so i just need to prep the chassis a little, clean up the engine, install the gaskets and oil pan, then install the engine and figure out the wiring(jamies muh boiiiii :biggrin ). whooooo.

hes talking about the one thats in moms garage. that we went and picked up in the rx8. umm, i forgot the kids name. off Lantana (chris and josh, you know where i mean.) :lol2

[rotodouche]

ooo, gotcha. i really dont know that kid lol

[rotodouche]

ok! so im still working on getting some parts, but my interior is stripped, i just need to get the sound proofing out (dry ice party anyone?). im talking to a guy about getting a CA18det as soon as i sell my KA. im gonna paint the car inside and out. black inside and in the engine bay, and the outside is gonna be black on the roof and the pillars, the rest will be baller ass purple like this

http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd150/kyrorx8/sky.jpg

im gonna get some brakes from josh from a Q45, which should stop it in a hurry. once the engine is in, im gonna start with the suspension.

[iDriftS13]

CA is a waist of time... just get an SR and get it over with...

[rotodouche]

not really. there strong little engines from what ive read. and they rev high without blowing up :hide

[iDriftS13]

lmao mine only blew up because it was a shitty motor from the time i bought it...

iight nigga




:rolleyes noob's.. lol JFWY

[rotodouche]

the difference is like $500, and by spending the same amount in bolt ons, i get the same amount of performace. theres 350hp CA's with completely stock internals redlining at 8k. its a pretty ballin ass motor. and i know a few guys selling them for dirt cheap. if it sucks so hard, ill sell it and get an SR.

[Igor]

CAs are ballin

+1 for not being like eveyone else and getting SR.

[tragic]

i like the ca idea, too bad they're just not nearly as easy to come by as sr's.

but damn dude your killing me changing your mind about what kind of motor you want every week lol.

just stick with this idea so we can build the shit and get it on the roads my young padawan.

its pretty much gonna happen. like next week hopefully. and thanks igor

[vr_unreality]

I've always wanted a CA. Get that shit done man. :thumbsup:

[rotodouche]

ok, so after skip barber and reading pretty much the entire SCCA rule book, ive decided that a CA would not be a good idea. the KA will be staying so i will be legal for ITS and if i go with another engine i wont be.

nope. no turbos allowed. it will be competitive tho. at least the rules are the same for everybody. i should be able to get like 170whp out of the KA.

it's been happening a lot lately

its scca road racing. most classes have no motor swaps no forced induction unless its stock. there is no street mod class in road racing. but some classes do allow you to run RWD in cars that arent RWD. ive seen GT4 cars that were Mimi coopers and integras that were RWD.

[frank]

N/A build, this could get interesting. If you need help ive got nothing to do now that schools out. I can paint, weld, metal work, etc..

ok, thanks. its gonna be really mild for a while engine wise, just want to get it running right with a full exhaust, intake, and probably a tune on the ecu. im gonna focus on the suspension/brakes/chassis before the motor. i do need a few things welded tho, i have a rust spot in the engine bay under the battery tray that needs to be replaced and the sunroof needs to be filled in. something you could do?

[frank]

yeah, if you need sheet metal i know a place to buy it cheap or i could buy some of my friends sheet thats at my house. also if you want to put in a fuel cell i made a box to hold it for my friends car that turned out really good. Also if your interested you might want to check out Megasquirt to use as an ecu, tune it yourself.

[rotodouche]

megasquirt isnt legal

[Sick_Rider]

it's good that Q45 brakes look the same as S13 brakes.

[rotodouche]

brakes are open i think

[frank]

bolt on some ebay corvette brakes, they gotten cheap, or go old school get some 40's ford drums (no one has any idea what im talking about)

[rotodouche]

lol ill be on on brakes. i think im gonna do stoptechs eventually. in the mean time, just Q45 brakes with hawk pads

why go to such a old crappy break setup.if your swapping something out atleast get something with some recent technology in it. drums ftl

[rotodouche]

im definately not going to do drums lol.

[frank]

the drums was a joke, 40 fords brakes are the best drum setup for old hot rods and stuff. like saying he should put some weber side drafts on it.

lol ok, just making sure
