It's time to crack the whip again on the S chasis. I took a break for a little bit after dumping 16k into a S13. Prior to that, I had a Z32 with some money in it. After the S13 I had a 04 SRT-4 on Meth and after that, an 02 Mustang GT. So now, back to the good stuff...

The Patient...a Champagne yellow 96 S14 with a KA24de, 5 speed. 5 lug hubs, No moon roof, No Wing, No ABS. If it had crank windows I'd be in heaven lol.

the interior will get some minor things done to it. Mostly though, it will remain unchanged. The ECU will be located in a floating bracket in the glove box, it will get a 3 pillar pod on the driver side A pillar. the rest of the read out goodies will replace where the Radio was. At some point, a half cage may be added. Harness bar and a good set of seats. That will probably be it.

Its currently sitting on a set of Kei Office coilovers that I'm ripping out because the rears are gone (suprise suprise). I have ordered a new set of CXRacing Blues. I have heard alot of good reviews on these and I know some people who beat them pretty harshly and they have held up great...better than my expensive coils did haha. It has a full Skyline brake upgrade currently with braided clutch/ brake lines all around. The exhaust is some junk setup the owner before me had. That will be gettin the boot asap.

A z32 diff will go in at some point, or I'll have my diff Welded. I had a welded diff on my S13 and loved it. It was there for you 100% of the time wether you wanted it or not haha. The police always gave me funny looks when I'd turn corners and the tires would chirp multiple times, always cracked me up.

As for now its rolling on a set of Kosies, but I have a set of Gram light 57 pro titan lips waiting to go on.

Just finished up a few loose ends with the paint today. finished my intake plenum. Next thing I need to do is actually get the motor on the stand so I can finish taking a few things off it, do the timing and clean/ paint the block and head. So much to do still!

I'm thinking a GT3076R. I want to go Top Mount though so it will have to wait a little bit since I'll have to buy a bunch of extra stuff to make things work smoothly. Kinugawa sells a nice one that I think I'll be picking up. I'll run the stocker till shes dead. No sence in wasting.

As far as the Grams go, there def Sexy time lol. Sadly I got them used so 1 of the back lips has minor curb rash, one of the front was wrinkled on the lip =\ I managed to get most of it out though. Negligent people fail. But, all in all, their still nice. And I found out the Titan lip is just a cover for the actual cast lip. So worse case scenario, The lips will be removed when they get too beat up and the cast lips will be polished.

Today I got the interior back in, all aside from the passenger seat. I put my new CXRacing coils in and pulled my junk Kei office coils out. I was so motivated today that I even put the Grams on lol.

she's coming along well mate, the gram lights look the part.

Hey guys. Havnt posted in a bit. Alot has happend including a new addition to the family. So heres an update of a few things. Enjoy!.

I picked up my mount kit from Mckinney Motorsports. Got my driveshaft from them also. They are quite nice. Def quality items.

Got the monster dent pulled in the back. Got 98% of it out. Just a skim coat of filler to hide the hammer marks.

Got my Greddy timing belt installed, OEM one looked to be in good shape, but better safe than sorry :)

Picked up some Kinugawa braided turbo lines.

Purchased a XTD clutch and lightend flywheel. Not exactly the best thing out there, But I've seen alot of people I know have good luck with them.

Got ready to pull the junk KA out

Got it out and started the fabbing /modding process to make room for the RB.

After all that jazz, I finally got to test fit the RB on the mounts. I cant wait to get it wraped up :)

Holy smokes, I havnt updated this ina while haha. Anyways, the motor is in and the car is being driven. Now I'm on to other things like getting it running properly. It's having some issues with idle "suprise suprise" and breaking up under boost it seems. It doesnt feel quite rite. But, that being said, I'm going to be buying lots of goodies in hopes of getting her on the rite path.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
