    Resurrection of the project. No action since about 2016.
    Car ended up in storage due to Weddings and 2 Kids a Cage fight or two and some hectic work/work/life balance.

    This year I moved house and pulled the car out of storage moving it close by. Finally got some time on the tools and did some work on it.

    The plan is to just get it running and avoid "While its out" or side tracks.
    Just pick away slowly and get it running.



    Big Box:
    The big ticket item was the RB "big box" went in (no photos) so the engine and box is all in properly.
    I had made the mistake of fitting a 20det box making the prop not fit. This nearly killed me lifting it in solo.

    Breaking the while its out rule
    -Poly bushes on Diff
    -Light flywheel
    -New crank rear main seal
    -Bonus the prop was already lightweight
    -Also the Nismo 1.5/2way diff
    -New Shiftier bush

    Psychologically a huge win for me as the box swap solo was a thing of nightmares but its in.



    The Car pulled out of Storage.

    New crank pulley and Radiator in
    Crank pulley is a part of Ross trigger kit but that is another day.

    The Spal fans on the radiator a monsters I can see that being too much for the alternator with the walbro but again later. It wont stop it running.

    No major progress as i'm jammed up with new job and life in general.

    Booking Fabricator to button up exhaust , cat , cooler pipework and new core. So that should get me a full working hot and cold side.
    Expect to have that done by mid/late march.




    Bought wiring bits and tools to make up looms for sensors / bits
    -Fuel pressure
    -Oil pressure
    -Flex fuel sensor
    -Knock sensors
    -Boost control
    -Wide-band
    -Fans

    So a bit to do.


    Some coolant lines need sorting and that should get me to start-up.

    You make me guilty for bailed on my projects having not touched them in a year. :D

    I think i did 2-3 years already of not touching it.
    I need to finish this car before another year goes by.



    Update:

    Bought an inter-cooler core. So fab guy will be on to me monday to book in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,691 ✭✭✭JimmyCrackCorn


    Turbo oil Drain is off getting welded. So spent some time doing some wiring.
    Cat also arrived so Fabricator is here in one Month to do cooler pipework and exhaust.




    Ok started on the Fan wiring.

    The spal fans are 6amps - 7amps a piece and when I ordered kit i sized everything for 22amps as I was wiring them.
    Then went with recommendation on wiring them independent of each other so everything is way over sized but look it wont melt...

    Not even close to perfect. But it wont burn my car down and doesn't look too bad.
    Will need to re-purpose some wires on the MAP sensor plug but job done.

    On to Plumbing in Fuel lines and coolant lines.
    I also need to drain the fuel tank of whatever is in there and sort out Pump, Pump wiring, Reg, Pressure sensor.

    mopped the floor after that.

    Ok Starting to look like a car again.

    Spent on a fab guy to make up quality intercooler pipework. He also mounted a new plazmaman intercooler which is a better job than the china unbranded core I had on it which was fine for a stock sr20.

    So now need to knock up new clamps and flush out the pipes.
    Unfortunately, he couldn't tackle the exhaust and I need to figure out that one.


    Fits my I don't want it to stand out from a stock s14 (if I get the pipes painted black behind the bumper)

    Sump ready to go in. Again overkill for a car that will do very little. Due to covid iv been waiting on that since August.
    The current sump is dented a bit.

    Bit of a struggle to keep the project moving. But its moving.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,691 ✭✭✭JimmyCrackCorn


    Who knew changing a sump would be a real pain.
    Nissan RTV is tough stuff.

    Then I couldn't get it to clear the pickup with sub-frame in.
    -ARB off
    -Tried jacking the engine from the Box for some wiggle room.
    -Now lowered the sub-frame a little on the bolts with box jacked.

    Will see how I go tonight but may need to lower the frame on a jack and support the engine and box.


    May need to drop the rack and or frame ....

    Its in.

    Hand tight to cure for 24 hours. What a pig.

    Got it my taking an engine mount out and jacking the gearbox up.
    Hopefully the RTV didnt smudge too much and it seals. I wont get at it for another week now and bolt it up.

    Had to shorten the turbo drain so that is out one more time as i confirmed the drain forward is an oil drain while sump was out.


    Sump is done.. No more dents...

    Update Its been a while.


    Bumper cut and re-fitted. Had the pipes powder coated black so the intercooler is less obvious.

    New Clamps in place all heavy duty 18mm wide high torque clamps


    Battery Relocated - Re-done.

    Batter relocation was not great when I bought the car and the earth was tek screwed to the body.

    Ran a new earth to the block from the boot in 0AWG/50MM2 cable and re-did all the lugs and battery terminals. So every thing is now Star Point grounded with overkill cables.

    The original relocation was done by a previous owner and was sketchy. So glad this is all tidy now

    The breaker is now mounted properly and is a continuous 100Amp breaker with a 200AMP or so peak load. (I think)


    Fuel Tank Rust

    Went to fit a new pump and the tank is not a good place. Fuel sitting created sludge and rust in the tank. This is going to be a bit more work to clean out. My own fault for leaving fuel in the tank for a few years.

    Going to try and clean it out without removing the tank as its a sub-frame out to get access to the tank.

    This is likely what killed the injectors.

    Plan is to de-grease, vinegar clean and run e85 through it and the lines to see what comes out of the tank. I have filters to run it through.


    Debating if I bite the bullet and upgrade the fuel lines since this job became a bit of a surprise.

    As someone who has had to re-do jobs over or had to do them twice ect... I'm a big beleiver that often the "short cut" is the "long way round"

    I know it'll be a pain in the arse, but I'd drop the tank out so you can clean it properly & inspect it properly once you're done, it'll be much harder to clean that tank in place & it will never be done as well as it could be out of the car. Also I'd replace the lines too, a whole new clean system end to end would mean no chasing stupid fueling issues later.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,691 ✭✭✭JimmyCrackCorn



    I think your right. Its a major job to get the tank out as its a sub-frame out Job to get to the tank.

    It has already cost me a set of 1000cc injectors.... Could have cost me an engine.


    This project has become a never ending story :)

    Been reading through this build thread now. Slow progress is still progress! Great build. Hoping to get myself a s14 at some stage soon once my house is sorted. Prices at the moment are gone insane.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,691 ✭✭✭JimmyCrackCorn


    Reg and flex fuel .


    Ticked the reg and flex fuel sensor off to the side. Just waiting on some fittings to button that up.


    Fuel Tank Rust


    Flushed with De-greaser, cleaning vinegar and fresh fuel. 

    Scrubbed it by sticking my hand down there with rubber gloves. 


    Cleaned up the old pump and bracket to use it to circulate fresh fuel through the system before dumping the fuel. 






    Oil Cooler/Heater Bypass


    Bypassing the factory oil cooler. To get the car going and will after it runs put in the oil-cooler and remote filter.

    Access under the manifold will be a bit easier and I have less stuff to go wrong.


    Trying to be brutal now on just get it running.







  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,691 ✭✭✭JimmyCrackCorn



    Fuel system at the back of the car all enclosed. Walbro 450 is wired in.Waiting on a new used pump bracket to fully close it up 

    Went with an aftermarket fuel hat just to have the provision for bigger lines later and Deutsch connectors letting me run bigger wires and solid crimps.


    Relays:

    The relay is a TE 12V monster which is big enough i can run may more off it if I need more pumps later.

    But it really went in because its neat.


    Next ISSUE:

    The next issue I have run into is the wiring loom is making contact at the back of the fuel rail. 

    I need to remove the old coolant line brackets at the back of the block to tuck the loom out of the way of the fuel lines.








  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,691 ✭✭✭JimmyCrackCorn


    Some time spent on it over Christmas.





    The clean powder coated rocker covers fitted

    Breaters plumbed up





    PAS is a bit of pain. 

    Going to abandon rubber lines and waiting on AN adapter for Power steering reservoir.
