Thanks. Everytime I go through my garage to leave or come home from work, I always have to stop for like 15 minutes and drool.

yeah thats not all they did in their garage either

jonathan's done like 10,000 sr swaps so he knows how to do it right which is why the pics all look professional as shit.

well that was only my 11th.....but hey..I have done s13 REDTOP s13 BLACKTOP, S14 and S15...so if anyone wants a clean swap done just PM me...look at Starfire's and Zenki's for examples...PM if you ever have any questions

focused · 03-05-2004, 11:12 PM

Are you planning on retaining the AC? If so what's your plan for this or what did you do if you've already got it setup. thanks.

**After staring at the pictures some more I see you took off the compressor.

DORIMON · 03-21-2004, 11:15 PM

So I finally got my harness back from Yury last Friday, who did a perfect job on it, I had to work out a few bugs such as timing, rough idle, and discharged batteries from several cranks, then I went for my 1st ride in it today. I really went soft on the gas for my 10 mile test drive, I began the 500 mile SPEC Stage 3 clutch break-in. It was so tempting to run it hard but I never let it see past 4K rpms. HKS SSQV BOV sounds really sweet, I didn't expect the stuttered venting sound, I was expecting a high pitched whistle sound, but I guess maybe thats at full-boost. Anyway, Nismo motor mounts are VERY solid and it feels like the motor is directly attached to the chassis. Almost stalling out was very very rough. I have to work out a way for the cooling fans to not blow the cigarette lighter fuse it is attached to, or think of another source for hookup. But all in all, its been a long progress, well worth it, and I give my thanks to Johnathan for all of his help. He definetely knows his shit! As for parts, Id like to thanks Phase2, Heavy Throttle, Enjuku, and my team TSF at www.thespeedfactor.com.

Thanks, I'm gonna just spend some time making sure everything is running okay and reliable before I continue piecing together the kouki front-end. So, it'll be awhile from now before the bumper goes on.

Where did you get your motor from and what did you do to solve the Hotpipe to IC lining up problem?

MY team TSF has a connection for motors, so I got mine through them. I cut the whole a littl ebigger and bent the IC piping back towards the hotpipe and it lines up perfectly now.

Yea, I decided to put a 20A fuse in, its working now.

And here is a little clip of me playing around touching 1psi in 3rd gear letting the BOV go.
right-click, save target as

Thats a crazy A$$ BOV sound, never head anything like that before.. Definitly Different

Yea it has a stuttered sound at low boost, but at higher boost it sounds like the usual high pitched whistle. In the clip, I was letting off the gas and then quickly getting back on it and I was noticing it would make the stuttered sound and then slightly whistle when I get back on the gas. The last rev is how it is supposed to sound when i would just let off the gas completely.

pntbalmatt · 06-01-2004, 09:39 PM

it sounds like a horse =-O!

why not....he probably knows the guy

89s132b · 06-02-2004, 09:08 AM

The swap look great. Very clean - you took your time and did things right. A couple of Questions though...

Do you think the stuttering BOV sound might be compressor surge?

If you have the help of a guy that has done 11 SR swaps whats with the wiring harness service? I did mine with zero SR swaping experience.

DMC · 06-02-2004, 02:21 PM

i didnt realize an engine swap costs that much i was hoping to get mine done for around $3000

Its tough to, but you can. Buy a front clip and they usually come with everything you need. I know my supplier can do a front clip + replacement parts (like if your clip has a trashed rad, they'll give you a new used one) and an SR fuel pump and the like. I wouldnt try it for less than $4000.

PS: Jonathan did my swap too..now I just gotta fix my plug thing.

Thanks, a lot of time and money went into the swap. At 1st I thought that it might be compressor surge but from listening to other guy's HKS SSQV bov sounds, its normal at lower boost. At 10 psi, my bov sounds like a whistle. RIGHT-CLICK, SAVE TARGET AS As for the wiring, I didn't want to be cheap trying to do it myself, so I'd rather pay someone who knows what they're doing with an S13>S14 wiring so I can have one less headache down the road if I have to troubleshoot.

mjjstang · 06-02-2004, 02:32 PM

yah you deffinitely need to reconsider. unless u dont care bout doin it right, there were a lot of things he didnt have to get but were well worth it, ie. pan-runs risk of not bumping his out right and choking motor, ic-could use stock side mount but who wants to, clutch-could have risked his being bad and having to take motor out and dealing w that, mounts- could have kept his but im sure that the engine would be all over the place. moral of the story is to do it right costs money, oh and btw looks pretty good. wish my engine was that clean.

Hawd · 06-02-2004, 03:36 PM
