project ps13! here we go again...

[Neelie]

BIG UPDATE!

the engine is fully rebuilt, in and running! I'm super happy with it even if it needs lots of cosmetic improvements. BUT, i got a super surprise when stiv discovered that its running a healthy s15 bb turbo! that has really made up for the costs i had on the rebuild as opposed to having bought a healthy engine from the start ha. its running a good 224bhp atm but of course given the turbo, im going to go fmic, afm, rad and nistune to reach a great 300bhp.



whilst fitting it got an aftermarket fuel pump, fresh fuel filters, new injector seals, full 3" exhaust from turbo back.

at home it now got a new driver's seat belt (mine wasnt retracting great) and some super cool asian lantern lights for dem' nite meetz!


also got taxed ugh *gutted*....

and got a fluffy gaitor and nismo gear knob


now, it needs a few jobs...
1) temp gauge isnt working, need to investigate, and oil lamp is on, s14-s13 wrong plug
2) oil change after 500 miles
3) paint engine bay gloss black and clean/paint lots of bits
4) needs headlights aligned and tracking badly

lots of more bits i wanna do but atm im just happy to drive it

spent yesterday tidying up the engine bay... was a lot of work but came up nice
painted the pipes black, cleaned all the rubber and struts, removed the broken expansion bottle and a few more bits.
removed the manual boost controller too as it was very very spikey...

AFTER:



and this is how my lanterns look at night

Engine bay looks better.

Pull your seatbelt all the way out and spray about 6 inches of the beginning of the belt on both sides with silicone spray then pull it in and out a few times. Repeat this a couple more times and it should solve the retracting issue for a while, not a complete fix but it does help a lot.
