Coming along nicely greyson!

Thanks man!

you make a installing a turbo look easy.. lol nice updates dude!

Haha thanks, it's pretty straight forward, you just have to have patience and lots of beer!

I love s13 hatches I wish I would have never gotten rid of mine i have my s13 coupe now love it though man

Thanks! I'd love to get a coupe for a daily. I dig there body style a lot too!

Thanks. Yup, it's pretty damn big lol. I'll probably downgrade in the future, but we'll see.

i <3 boost lag

 

[Road Pirate]

I talked to my friend with the same turbo, he said he'd hit full boost around 5k-5500, which isn't all that bad

Anywho, the car is basically done, just a few things left to do like vacuum lines, boost gauge, modify the downpipe and a battery. All that will be finished today! But here's a little picture from where I left off yesterday.

i bet thats nice to look at, i would probably stare at it all day

 

[rey_boricua]

its going to be a fun little ride, i remember when i boosted my 97 nissan altima and he ran great. alot of tq for sure

 

[Road Pirate]

Thanks guys! Yeah KA's are awesome. Can't wait!

Well, attempted my first startup yesterday. Turns out #4 SR injector I'm running was stuck open, and flooded literally 1/4 of my gas tank worth of fuel into my engine. I have picked up a set of 450CC injectors and going to convert the KA to top feed so I can run them properly.

You've only had this car for 3 months. Crazy how quick you work. Nice stuff so far. More people really should use the KA....

 

[Road Pirate]

Thanks! The KA is a very good motor, most people just dont give it a chance. But I plan on taking it to its limits haha. If I enjoy it enough, I will most likely rebuild it.

Well I decided to rip out the AC today so I can have a proper angle to my drain. Plus, who the hell needs AC in a boosted 240! hah.

My other two RPF1's should be here in a week or so, then tires and Kics lugs. Super excited!

 

[Road Pirate]

Haven't updated in a few days. Figured I'd let you all know what I've been up too. I haven't touched the car to get it running, but I did buy a few things to actually get it going.
Went on a selling spree and sold everything I could so I could buy a few more things..
New tires for the Enkei's
Rays lug nuts
Test pipe
Top feed fuel rail
450CC injectors

Will update as I get stuff in

 

[donovan772]

yay!

 

[Road Pirate]

Sneak peek..

 

[ImportFan1]

Beautiful

 

[civhatch92]

mmmmmmm, please show us more!

 

[Road Pirate]

Thanks guys.
my rear quarter is basically sitting on my tire, so once I roll them it will be a little lower.

I got my daily civic back, so I've been putting some extra money into that (new body panels so I can get it painted), but this car should be going by this weekend.

 

[antie22]

Dude this is a f*cking amazing build man i envy you!!!

 

[donovan772]

I see RPF1's everywhere here, but there's a good reason for it.... They look stunning on everything! Nice work man!

 

[Road Pirate]

Hah thanks guys. RPF1's are pretty popular, but exactly for that reason. The styling just looks good on everything. Plus the concave on the wider/lower offset ones makes them that much better

 

[Road Pirate]

So I got my old coupe back! It's my new daily driver, and right now I'm just doing minor things to make it a proper daily, rather than a multi-colored piece of crap

Anywho, since I've owned it I did a full tune up with NGK wires and plus, new air filter, oil, oil filter, fuel filter, new steelies with hubcaps, EK9 window visors, new hood, SiR style headlights and a CTR rep lip. It's ready for paint now though, so I want to hear some ideas! I want something regular, nothing flashy. I'm leaning towards white or milano red, I'm sick of silver lol.

Let me know!

 

[donovan772]

When you were talking about your coupe in previous posts, I thought you were speaking of the EM1.
I say go taffeta white!
Also, what did it look like before you sold it?

 

[Road Pirate]

Nah haha, I wouldn't daily drive an EM1 that sits outside around my area. It would get jacked in a heartbeat.

It basically looked the same except no lip, old crappy hood, no visors, stock faded ass headlights. Still had multiple colors
