I just bought an S13 with an RB20 in it. The rb was dead when I bought it and we just took the motor out today. Now I was wondering what should I do to the motor before I put it back in??

It has a T3/4 turbo, wolf 3d computer, and fuel reg/pump.

I was thinking just some forgies and a HKS head gasket, then some injectors when I get it going.

anything else I should look at?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

272degree camms, even if only for the sound. got them in mine and makes a big difference. also if you are going the forged postions, get the tomi 2.3L kit this uses tomi pistons and rings along woth GTR crank and rods. Once again this make a massive difference.

yeah but costs a shitload of money. If you get the metal gasket then you'll probably have to get the block o ringed to suit and if you aren't pushing out massive amount of horsepower ie. 300 rwkw then you need not worry about going to all the trouble of the metal head gasket. They don't seal too well and you will constantly blow it if you don't install it properly or you run too much boost. All I can say is...If you are going to do it ALL, you will have to spend a lot of money. Otherwise just throw some forgies in it, get some 272 cams, adjustable gears, bigger injectors and you should push about 350hp at the treads, maybe more.

    • Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)
    • 4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.
    • Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.
    • Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.
    • Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
