S14 street and drift project from France

[koukiboy]

I went on Sunday to my garage, and I had only 2 hours for any work... So I decided to repair my Breather Tank adapter fitting

It looked like this before. There was only one little thread on it...



So I took a 6mm screw, I cut it to the original specification and then I did a 2mm hole in it (like in the original fitting) and I enlarged the entry to 3mm.



Then, I did a 5mm hole in the screw's head and I tapped it with a M6 tap.



That's it



Now, just a bit of liquid gasket and a little bit of red Loctite



Done We can't see anything, it's like the original



The SR20





The Breather Tank plugged onto the adapter



And for a great end, my dirty Silvia in my very clean garage

[koukiboy]

I've got my 60mm wastegate!!!!!!!!









BTW, I also welded my home made Power Brace's reinforcements



The interior...



Pink vacuum silicone hoses



The spayer bar



To follow on next week :

- Garrett GT3076R, V-Band A/R.78 T3 Twin Scroll turbine housing, Anti-surge compressor housing, oil restrictor, V-Band downpipe flange + its clamp, T3 Divided inlet gasket and oil return gasket ;

- Pink 16mm x 2m silicone hose for my oil catch tank ;

- 2x black silicone reducers : 4" => 3" and 2.5" => 2" 90° ;

- CXRacing 2" aluminium radiator ;

- 3" top mount elbow.

That's all for now

Nice project, im a little younger than you but soon ill be buying an s13 or a s14,
nice project looking forward for more updates.

[koukiboy]

Thanks

I did a little bit of work this weekend

First, I wanted to see how a wastegate is working



Then, I catch my poor manifold... The inside... With a big hole and a long crack...



Second crack...



And here, the inside almost like new I still have some work to do on it, but the hole and the crack don't exist forever



Like new, isn't it ??



On the SR





The machine



It touches... But I wanted it to touch



I did the same position that inside



The angle of the steering column



It would be like that, in theory



But I decided to do it otherwise

[koukiboy]

So I cut the 50mm flange, I took a 2.25" SS IC piping, I adapted it to the manifold and I welded it on It's not that beautiful, but there will be some heat wrap on it



Manifold + WG



But when I wanted to bolt at 100% the manifold to the head, the V-Band flange is touching the frame... So I have a little bit more work to do on it



The last one on the SR So HOT!!! Now I'm just waiting for my Garrett GT3076R (Twin T3 Scroll A/R.78) that would be sent tomorrow by UPS, so I guess I'll have it for Friday to bolt it It would be awesome

dude that top mount rocks..like the top mount !!! is it custom or bought somwhere?

[koukiboy]

I bought the manifold from Damo on this forum (thanks again if you read me )

The 3" elbow :



Equiped with 2 O2 bungs, and works on LHD cars

I love it



My beautiful CXRacing 2" full aluminium core radiator :



And now, pure SEX !!!!!!



Specs :

Compressor:
- Wheel: 76.2mm w/ 56 trim
- Housing A/R: .60 a/r

I just have to rotate the turbine housing

ive loved this build from the start dude, keep at it man....

be nice to see it actually drifting tho but i know what its like to start something

[Chris_200SX]

looking good, but may be a silly question but how is the elbow going to fit onto the back of the turbo? looks like you havent got the correct elbo fitting for the turbo.

[koukiboy]

I'm gonna weld a 3" V-Band flange onto the elbow I didn't have any flange choice when I bought it

[Chris_200SX]

ahhh see thought it was a silly question , keep up the good work buddy

WOW Bonjour Koukiboy/Raphaël, comment ca va j'ais pris 2 hours pour lire depuis le debut de cette histoire magnifique, et je ne sais vraiment pas quoi dire. Tu est tres douer, pas comme moi j'aurai peur de casser quelque chose. Moi aussi j'aime le drifting et j'ai 18 ans mais toi tu as un monstre dans ton garage c'est incroyable et je parle francais mais j'habite en angleterre. Je ne crois toujours pas que tu as fait tout cela avec ta propre main c'est incroyable, maintenant j'espere que tu vas faire attention quand tu la roule A bientot.

[MKdrifter]

Et j'ai oublier de te demander conbien tu as depenser et comment tu connais a faire tous ca parce que ton connaisance de mechanics est incroyable pour quelqu'un de ton age et je n'ais plus a dire que t'est super.

[DONUTDurifto]

Enjoy that CXRacing radiator. I have one and my car overheats like a mother fricker.

[koukiboy]

Merci MKdrifter

I learned a lot of everything I know in the different forums I'm logged in And I also learned some bits at school

And yes, I did everything by myself

The CXRacing rad is very good. I have a friend who's got one, and he's very proud of it !

Let’s go for a little update

The little snail on my worktable...




... and under the hood now



Putting the HKS Water Temp Sensor adapter on the water neck



Drilled to 10mm and tapped to M12 x 1.25



Done



Then, I did a little mounting plate for the oil catch tank



The SR



The CXRacing radiatior was a little bit twisted, so I danced few minutes on it



The manifold was sold as a T3 and is a T4, so I need an adaptor flange from T4 to T3...



So, I bought one on ebay

T3 Side



T4 Side

[koukiboy]

I just came back from my holidays I did some work but not much because I had a lot of work in the garden...

Firstable, 3 nice pics of the turbo on the manifold Shit of manifold, the flange is not flat... And screws doesn't match holes... So I had to use 8mm bolts and to do my best to match the adapter with the manifold flange. But now, it rocks !!!







I still didn't finished to mount my wastegate...

My piping being modified



My piping being welded



Elbow in da place



T4 => T3 adapter in



And a global view of my SR and the S14 before I left it alone in my cold garage













Now I just need to finish my wastegate and my intake piping

Sorry if it's a silly question, but did you rebore or even hone the block before installing the forged pistons? What was the odometer reading when you pulled the motor out?

I'm not as young as you are (I'm almost 20), but I also have a project that started when I was 16. It's nowhere near like yours though, since it's an almost 40 year old Datsun, and I took a different approach than you - the first thing that I ordered was a rollcage, just to be sure that I won't kill myself if I hit something...

Hate to be a pessimist, but instead of ordering all those shiny new parts I'd take care of the body stiffness. Cusco makes nice rollcages that don't go through the dashboard. I think that any kind of safety equipment should be worth considering now.

Pistons are the original size (86mm) But I hone a bit the cylinders And it had 156 000km on the clock.

For the roll cage, there won't be one. It's totally forbidden in a street car in France

And I'm an optimist, I won't hit anyone

Ktorego Datsuna masz ??
