After a few years of owning Hondas, I decided it was time for my first RWD car. I bought a zenki S14 that didnt run properly a few months ago, fixed it (Was a boost leak ) and fitted a few parts. This is how it stands currently..... Engine: SR20DET S15 WMIC Stainless Tubular Manifold Stainless Turbo Elbow W/screamer Japspeed Downpipe Japspeed De-cat Japspeed Cat Back Walbro Fuel Pump SARD Trigger Boost Controller @ 15psi Blitz Air Filter Horsham Developments Stage 1 ECU ARC Radiator Cap Drivetrain: Exedy Stage 2 Clutch Auto Welded Diff Chassis: HSD HR Coilovers 18" 350z Alloys 245/40/18 on rear, 225/40/18 on front 16" Super Advan SA3R used for drifting Braking: Apex 310mm Front Big Brake Kit Z32 Alloy Front Calipers Ferodo DS2500 Brake Pads on front ABS Delete Goodridge Braided Front Brake Hoses Dot 5.1 Brake Fluid Other: Spin Turn Drift Button Greddy Turbo Timer The plan is to learn how to drift, Im not very good at it at the moment lol however I only fitted the diff today......
lil tip the turbo elbow with the screamers dnt seal of how they should and leak like mad and sound like a gasket has blown swap it before the turbo goes mate ,looks like a gd base car. have fun and welcome to driftworks kyle
With 245's on the back your are gona stuggle with the poxy S14 standard brakes locking up on the handbrake !!! I think your next job is a upgrade these. Good skidding bud
Yeh the divider between the wastegate and turbine wheel does leak exhaust gases out of the screamer, sounds shit off boost.....but how will this cause the turbo to go?
nice car! seen a black one in the states just like this. keep stock bumper etc! keeps it oem and sleeper like! if your changine get a navan kit! would look aesome in that colour!
little update........ Got a new grill and darkened my headlights and sidelights.......... Also did my first drift day yesterday in Pembrey........ I loved every minute of it, and learned alot. I would recommend it to everyone. Thanks to Gav and Hawkey for their tips
Little update.... Removed the screamer elbow and replaced with a stainless divorced turbo elbow Fitted drilled and grooved discs to rear with new pads, unseized sliders.....handbrake is ten times better now Also fitted a stainless hot pipe Few more pics....
the turbo will over boost to make up for the lost gases leaking from the elbow mate they go pp wen i got my s14 it had one fited and my turbo went from overboosting, liking the darkend headlights
The only time the turbo would "overboost" or work harder is if it was trying to make up for a pressure loss i.e. a boost leak between the turbo and inlet ports, the turbo wouldnt have to work harder even if there was no exhaust let alone an exhaust leak.
You can see it here next to the pussy Also fitted a z32 TT Sytec Fuel Filter, pictured below next to standard filter Here it is fitted..... Here is random snap with my roof rack fitted and with the wheels I use for drifting fitted
Update...... Fitted a Greddy Spec V FMIC today as can be seen below...... excuse the mess.....I'll get better pics in the daytime..... Also relocated the battery to the boot, and fitted a battery cut off switch in the car. My new wheels turned up today!..... 18x8.75 Fronts, and 18x9.75 Rears, Ill put more pics up of them when I get tyres for them. Oh and fitted my tow strap on the front
Finally got my wheels fitted, got tyres for them today, 225 40 18 up front, and 255 35 18 on the rear.
