no, but this is the same car your thinking of. Was built there. Went in N/a manual, came out in mainy stages. ened up with 600hp of fun.

Sold the car to in dude in WA.

ahh i do remember a blue s13 when i was there a few years ago. had a 20 in a the time and was looking at a 25. couple of nice skylines as well with those guys.

you might remember my car. purple strawberry face 180sx. with the IVS stickers all over it.

will be doing the conversion in my garage as well. engine built off site though. dont think i have the tools to torque hone and balance all the components and tune the ecu.

yeah... all my engine work is done by a 3rd party :)

when i get the $$ i'll be doing the strawberry on my 13.... 1315's look nice i reckon !

yeah i will be changing over to strawberry face again after the nose was written off by my bad driving. did see a kit for the s13 with 240z nose.. that was cool

so what parts going in if you dont mind me asking?

i got some forged pistons, h beam rods, balancing and crack testing the crank and block. DE head, Garrett GT30R (or 35R not too sure yet) and 100hp shot of wet nos.

only a rb20 atm... my sr died a horrible death and i need to get it on the road... so fairly std atm :) need it for work... I did have a 26crank/rods and some 82 mm pistons to go into it... but sold em to get the $$

My Mobile: 1900 ska luv (edit) :)

 

But I'll prolly be as lost as you, but yeah I have erins mobile so wont get too lost hopefully :D

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
