need a few suggestions for project build - Drifting forum

Teabag · 04-07-2009, 17:27

hi guys, i thought id put up a posts. im looking for advise on building a car. i have a guy here who is dropping me up his car. this guy is an absolute nutcase, its a 94 s14 silvia. the car has fairly big spec already but he wants me to build him a monster of an s14, he handed me 15k euro and said knock yourself out so i am free to do whatever i want. he wants me to leave body and wheels alone as their mint already! so litterally ill be spending the money on engine, gearbox, suspension, interior etc. im not sure where to start.

i have a fair good idea about jap cars but i was thinking i better throw up something here as there is a lot of people on this that know a lot more! the only thing he wants in the car is garrett gt4088r dual ball bearing turbo, i can do whatever i want after that.......

in sterling it would be close to 13k any suggestions? he is looking for 400+ atw

here is the spec of the car that im starting off with

roll cage
aftermarket ecu
ball bearing turbo
z32 afm
trust intercooler
trust manifold
trust oil cooler
downpipe
straight through exhaust
external wastegate
turbo timer
hks induction kit
uprated rad
paddle clutch
bucket seats
tein coilovers
tein extra lock kit
2way

Surprising that the guy has given 13K to someone who doesn't know where to start with a build??

It does seem a bit strange...

You tune an S14 like you would tune any other car body-mods, paint, drive-train, running-gear, engine finish. You would do well to split the mods into these sections, example:

Body mods: Roll-cage, tub-arches...etc

Paint: Fluorescent pink with lime green arch extensions...etc

Drive train: Kaaz 2 way, Rb25 gearbox...etc

Running gear: Dw suspension kit, K-sport brakes...etc

Engine: HX40 turbo, top mount manifold...etc

Engine wise it depends on how much power he wants, between 300-400 the SR should be ok. 350-500 you should consider the Rb25 since allot of people have done it now and you can get allot of advice. 1JZ is an option, but getting a suitable gearbox and the parts needed will be more difficult (not impossible) and the conversion requires more fabrication (i'm lead to believe).

You obviously need to plan well ahead, if you want advice on parts, I suggest you give

a call, they can pretty much supply all that you need.

That's if your not actually 15 years old.
