10psi is definately low, so something is amiss somewhere. Mine boosted to over 13psi on actuator pressure with an FMIC, filter and exhaust on the old T25. My older S13 developed an almost...

Mine did the wooshy thing, sounds remarkably like a WW2 Jeep. The only problem I had was it running too cool, and the irritation of the noise it made. With mine I found that the bi-metal strip which...
Carbon copy of what mine had to go through last year on both sides due to bodged sill welds a few years previously retaining water and causing it to rot from the inside out!

Similar to Dal's but standard facelift bodywork? I can manage that :wack:

About 9k. And it needs a new engine before it'll see the road again... :annoyed:

You know you own an S13 when the recovery vehicle can't drag you on without 'the brothers' or scraping your front end up the ramp and exhaust on the tarmac.

Without a boost controller I'd make a stab at roughly 12psi of boost on a standard T25 and actuator. Fitting a turbo back exhaust and filter raises the boost a little on actuator pressure, and when I...
Vent to atmos dump valves cause the CA18 to overfuel, best to use a recirc valve or nothing at all. Besides, when using a small turbo like the T25 or T28, compressor surge isn't going to cause any...
If you don't want to relocate the battery to the boot, get a smaller one. I used a WestCo battery which fits in the space left on the battery tray. Compared to the original battery it actually lasts...
I found THIS GUIDE invaluable when doing my FMIC install. Read through it, paid attention to the photos, then went out and spent a good few hours mashing my hands to bits doing the job itself :thumbs:
Mines the ND intercooler, probably exactly the same as the Apex one to be honest (they both look to be based on the GReddy FMIC)
Yes, I had to cut 35mm of material from the rear of the metal bumper where the FMIC is situated. Took a grand total of 60 sec with an angle grinder and a lick of hammerite to seal the bare metal...
Prefacelift rims are a different beast all together! My webbed facelift wheels go over the 26mm caliper no problems though. 25mm spacer leaves a 19mm gap between caliper and inside of rim, but I'm...
Fitted as above, but with the splitter still in place. Mine managed to fit the top bolt on the bonnet catch and both bottom bolts. Pretty solid, even when I managed to ground the front end coming off...
300zx non turbo alloy calipers will fit under 15" wheels no problem with a 5mm spacer, the caliper is 6-7mm narrower and sits another 2-3mm further back on the bracket than an S14/300zx TT caliper....
I used EBC discs on my old 306. They lasted 22k abusive miles in a lighter car with less power before they had to be binned. Since then I've avoided using EBC discs all together. The 200 has been...
It WAS my pride and joy and a weekend toy to be used and abused. At the minute its a garden ornament/object of much depression.
The energy dissipated by the brakes is a little more complex than that though.
The starting energy will be the same at a given speed, but the harder you brake, the less time it takes to transfer...
I compared the stock 280mm discs and calipers with the 4 pot alloy 300zx and thicker vented and grooved disc setup that I changed it to, both runs on 225/35/R18 tyres. A brisk run on the A38 from...
Yes, but the standard brakes are crap and fade with spirited road use, let alone on a track. For me the idea of fitting bigger brakes is to dissipate the heat faster, thus reducing brake fade; not...
With a stage 2 chip I ran mine up to 16psi (1.1 bar) on a GT28R and it pulled like a train from the word go. With a stage 3 chip and the turbo to support it you can go a fair bit higher :thumbs: On...
I wouldn't have thought a stock S14 T28 would support stage 3, I'd have thought you'd want at least a GT28R for that...GT28RS or a 2871R would be better and allow you to get more out of the stage 3...
I was quoted £73 for the front crossmember from a dealership, 4 week waiting time. When I get the engine running again so I can get it back down the body shop, I'd be prepared to pay that for the...
The general concensus is that vent to atmosphere BOVs and S13s don't mix. They cause the AFM to read more air flow because the BOV is venting already metered air, which causes overfuelling. The best...
I had horriffic petrol fumes entering the car when I bought it initially. The breather pipe on top of the fuel tank was rotten through but didn't appear to be holed. Took the tank off, the breather...
