Just another S13

Hey peeps

Bought myself a s13 non runner about 2 months ago... Bottom end is poked so selling most of the CA18 goods off and aiming for a SR20. Chassis is straight, interior is in good condition.

Im currently stuck in the engine bay, need to still source a SR20DET and box to fit in.

How she was collected

And what was found in the motor

I started in the engine bay first as it had several scratches and brackets, holes that I wanted to change..

What I have done till now is strip, prep and paint.

Nice.

I see another s13 hiding on the left.

nice work so far!

Really like where this is going... :200sx_200sx:

Nice going... keep up the good work!

Good job Tiaan, what is the final spec for your car? stock sr20 turbo or all out for road/track?
Cheers Tony

Thanks Peeps

@Tony, She is going to be a all-rounder toy... Not a daily so aiming for a 3071R and around 350-400whp should suffice 😀 .

I have put a little bit of time into my gauge pod which just needs a coat of paint now. My Motor,box and management are on their way too 😁 😁

Pics for kicks

This motor looks familiar 😁

Great progress so far 😀

Awesome man.

Need to trim the front crash bar still and mod the front bumper for better flow over the cooler, then Ill do some ducting for the oil cooler too.

Looking good.
Just a suggestion, if you do not have a thermostat for the oil cooler, get one. When I hade the vg in my sx I had basically the same size cooler in the same location and oil temp was fine till I drove in the rain the one time, oil temp dropped to 35 degrees.

Thanks Charl

I will definitely look into that and see what my oil temps do..

Last night I completed most of the oil cooler install, just need to remake the one bracket with flatbar...

Collecting some more bits tonight for interior 😀

Awesome

very nice

Nice work! I often notice people install remote oil filters facing down. Is there a reason for this? Because my first guess would be to install the opposite way so that there would be minimal spills when changing filters.

When draining oil out the sump the filter will empty quicker as its higher then the sandwhich plate and fluid will travel down.

Ok so I acquired my turbo, GT3076R Garrett, need to change the hotside to one smaller as I'm not planning on going VE head. Also received a fabricated intake manifold that I'm currently prepping... Decapped some scooby wrx injectors so should flow around 880-900cc.
