Just converted from civic to s14

[13ob]

Hi everyone, my names Bob and just converted to the rwd scene so i have lots to learn

This is me old car







Here is my car i picked up last week, s14 1996 2.0 turbo

Not the best of pics as they were taken from me iphone at night lol











C&C welcome

[Chriscooke]

Welcome This is the best colour for s14's imo, whats your plans for it?

Don't forget to check out your local section for meets and events near you

[13ob]

well its had stage 1 horsham developments ecu upgrade, hks fuel pump, hks dump/chatter valve, s15 intercooler, manual boost control, eibach shocks and springs, hks panel filter, ment to be running around 280bhp

First thing i did was change the wheels coz they were 18" konig chrome and black, and picked up some freshly refurbed oem wheels, plans for now is just generally tidy it up and get hold of some cloth interior as leather isnt for me, especially when sideways and a new back box at some point too but will try my best to keep updated

[Chriscooke]

If you want cloth interior look out for s15 seats mate. They are so much better than s14 seats Liking the plans

[13ob]

Cool cheers mate, they most much?

Give it a check mate, I saw this one on pistonheads with the godawful wheels, he said he'd been running 1.45bar on the standard gear, adn it was also very suspicious as to wether the hks parts were just that or he was just blagging. If he has, he could well have caused some damage

Chap from brum iirc?

He says he's run it at 1.9 Bar

Hope it all turns out ok mate, and welcome to the club

Welcome! From reading the ad, probably one of the first things I'd do is get rid of the dump valve and go back to a recirculating one - either standard or aftermarket. Your engine, wallet and neighbours will thank you for it!!

Seller sounds a bit special if you ask me!!!

[13ob]

Yeah thats the one, it runs perfectly fine and pulls really well, may give it a service soon, I've checked over it and has got a few hks bits including FCD

The leather is in good condition, no rips or tears and the back looks untouched

mate get rid of the FCD, its a very very crude way of getting rid of fuel cut (obviously) fuel cut is there for a very good reason despite it being absolutely horrible when it does cut at least you know your engine isn't being pushed too far.

plus if it really is running an HDev 1a chip there is no need for the FCD anyway

Glad to hear it mate, nearly went and had a look myself, bit too far tho.

[13ob]

should have minime'd it - y8 head, ECU & intake works well, increases the compression compared to a normal full Y8 as well. I did it to my wife's car

welcome to the board chap, keep it simple, figure out what you want the car for (road focussed/competition/drifting etc) and plan your mods with some common sense before you put your money down.

read as many projects/threads as you can too.
