Verrry nice.. who did you get the motor from?.I think I have seen you @ the local autoX. my 96 is almost the same spec to the last part..exept s13blacktop(no vtc), 2nd gen gsx bpv,exedy clutch and turbo....she is yummy do you have any more pics?

[240sxDann]

very nice. just curious, why the s13 tranny?

[sean350z]

Ughh just finished dropping the subframe today, I'm a waste of life now. The engine is from Marco at SR20Store in Cali. It was a lot cheaper without the S15 transmission and I didn't have to worry about speedometer issues with the wiring. I was hoping on getting a S14 motor but there weren't any 'good quality' ones in stock so I got the S15 Spec-R motor with S13 tranny for the price of an S14 motor, can't beat that. I think it was $3200 shipped to my door if I remember right.

I'll post some pictures tonight or tomorrow.

What kind of turbo? Do you have a member journal?

[s14drftstn]

I also got my motor from marco also, thru jeff@heavythrottle. the turbo is a gt28rs potato...I will write one up when the zenki is done.

[highmilehatch]

Sean, not sure if you remember me but I talked to you before about the HKS BOV kit for your car and took a few pictures of the way my hotpipe setup is in my Nissan for you. Anyway, good numbers on stock MAF and injectors!

[sean350z]

Yea I def remember, I got rid of the HKS, found a recirculation tube, and went with the EVO MR bov recirculated. Car runs so much better after recirculation.

Here are a few older pics:

I'll try to take some more pictures, but I work at a slow pace considering this is my weekend hobby.

[willthethrill]

looking good!

[highmilehatch]

Im surprised your maxing out your MAF so soon. I was able to make 290whp/310 tq on my stock S14 SR MAF. Maybe the dyno readings are a bit different. Oh well.

[lagos]

nice car, and thanks for posting some dyno sheets.

i would put the car back to stock boost asap if i were you. you are running VERY lean at 15psi. it so bad, that you could blow the motor after just one run with it like that.

[sean350z]

Well I don't really run it at 15psi, but this weekend when dropping the subframe I noticed that my exhaust had a leak at the cat which could have been the accounting for the lean reading b/c they had a tailpipe sniffer reading my A/F's. So in a way I was happy to see the leak, but come spring I'm getting 550cc injectors and a Z32 and a bung welded to my downpipe to get a better A/F reading and better tune.

sick car and great progress....!

Very clean, whats the future plans?

[sean350z]

Race the piss out of it...That and probably get a nice seat, steering wheel, possibly a cage. But I need to start saving my money for a down payment on a place.

[OBEEWON]

Looks great. Under your car is fresh. Its a good thing you didnt get the S15 tranny cuz they are weaksauce.

in theory...


but not really, i have never seen one break before 600whp, and even then, any tranny can go, 6spd, 5spd or auto lol

[philly_s14]

looking good! nice s14

[TougeMonster]

looking good! nice s14

saw u at temple today!
Nice car Btw sean... seen it at the dyno that one day a lil while back when danny and andie were there with their cars too.

[ozthunder]

I've seen phillys14 at temple before..hmm..

[philly_s14]

saw u at temple today!


I've seen phillys14 at temple before..hmm..
haha yeah im usually there on tuesdays and thursday to drive my gf to or from temple.

[moorefire]

i have never seen one break before 600whp

because most people who drive hard (real track use) know not to waste the money on the weaker (s15) tranny...

s15 trannys are for winning points at hardparking shows

anyway, nice car

You will have a reliable 300hp with the proper squirters and maf. I heart s15 turbines

Have you tracked that brake setup yet? I was just wondeirng how you felt about the balance since I think a z33 front and z32 rear will alter your f/r bias similiar to how putting z32 fronts with stock rears w/ a Z32 MC alters the bias twards the front on my car, which I can't stand in a drift setup. I'm thinkin of going to a q45 setup since drift cars don't need serious brakes.

Nice, clean ass s14
