s13 project (picture heavy)

[royellison]

It's not too bad doing the swap, I did mine in a week, took a week due to waiting on parts I forgot to get.

I know how to do the wiring to if you give me both looms one night il wire them for you

Your car shows off how good Magic Aero's kits are. Were they good fitting?

Your car is stunning bud. Considered an RB swap when my SR died for a 2nd time, was talked out of it by people who'd done it in the past. Does your car see much track action? Heard cooling can be an issue with them in S chassis bays.

The kit fits amazingly well,

The engine feels no different to the ca18 I had in, never upset the hndling.

Never over heated with an ally rad with 2 ten inch fans on a revotec. No viscous fan. Never got hotter than 90degrees

just a few random pics..

Wastegate won't be long till it's welded all correctly and then the turbo lines and downpipe need to be started.
