91 S13 Hatch First build 15 years old

[stroked_jz]

not trying to call bs on the miata... well i guess nvm. yes i am... my buddy arash (joe) has what is known as the highest hp miata at the moment. Hes blown 3 different ls motors and is now running an lq motor, all set ups have been running on a t56 with a rear mount oil-less 76mm turbo. He makes high 600's on low boost and has never cranked it up to its full potential. Just saying. I think your friend is telling a few little white lies. Just sayin.

I think he was being sarcastic about 9k horsepower lol. He was just making a point he has been behind the wheel of power before.

Well I can understand why he's not making 9k to the wheels, his tuning is obviously off if he has blown 3 LS motors running low boost.

I figured it was a typo for 900hp. And as far as the motors, he blew the pistons in the 1st 2, due to it being a aluminum block, and the last one was tue to his machine shop improperly building the block. Now hes on to the lq because they are cast iron, and better for boosting.

Yea, sorry guys..

Car is in NH getting a roll cage and looked over engine wise to see why it wont start, my 25mm front fenders came too, cant wait to mount those...Once i get the car back ill be updating ASAP.

[futures14drift]

Also, i bought some parts on cyber monday, and recently made a trade on z32 calipers for my polished intake manifold i didnt plan on using.

drilled and slotted rotors


subframe bushings, i thought fuck it while i pull the diff to weld it i minus well sandblast and paint the subframe and do the bushings.


jdm stuff!!


HID's because add horsepower


stoppin power for all the 330 horsepower!! woah


finally...too bad no car to put them on LOL


Incase u didnt know..the trailer says "T3" because the trailer is boosted with a t3 flange turbo.

[futures14drift]

Well all my fuel lines are junk so they are being replaced with stainless steel braided lines. i am looking for a fuel sending unit if you have one please message me thanks

[vJilly]

any progress on this?

[Davidna2fi]

I love the OP attitude. Keep at it. Seems you are surrounded by knowledgeable people to guide you in the right direction. You got it made when it comes to getting good advice.

Thanks man. Update!!

The car now runs..you guys will never believe the problem. I knew the car was not getting spark, the ignitor chip was good, the problem was with my brand new wiring specialties harness. One of the ignitor chip plugs was broken, and thats why it didnt get spark.

Heres the only video there is
Instagram

[mr.nismo.]

Wow that's surprising. Well that's good it's running man

[bataangpinoy]

seen russ posting about it. dang

[vJilly]

we need a video

Thats the only video he took because still working out problems so its better for it not to run, I am picking it up on sunday and the half cage will be done...Cant wait. Expect progress from there on to pick back up!

Ive been into S Chassis' since I was 13 and did a lot of research up until I turned 16 and got my first car, which was a S13 Hatch. Loved that car and had fun, but still rushed it impulse buying shit left and right. Now Im 18 (Just turned 18 today actually) and am on my 2nd S Chassis, a S13 coupe. My 2 cents is to definitely get your suspension set up before power. I just ordered PBM front and rear knuckles to complete my suspension (Which is also all PBM), and let me tell you... even though I worked my ass off to afford all that shit, I know my car will be able to handle well once I go for a swap. But keep it up dude, not many young people out there doing stuff like this on their own. Excited to see where this goes.

Happy birthday but no it won't.

Thank you. But I think that it will go hand in hand with the goals I have for my car. Just wanna hear your thoughts on it.

If you're using a stock KA and trying to drift then yeah I guess the stiff springs with not so great dampers will help your car "handle well".

I'm not going to go as far to say that PBM doesn't make good products. But I made a mistake in selling a good set of Fortunes to go with PBM Pro's for the sole purpose of going lower and that wasn't a smart choice. And with my newest set up, I don't even think Fortunes are that great anymore so that kind of says something about what I think of the pro's.

Happy birthday man, thanks for ur input. I am trying to get some z32 calipers and work my way from there. parts are expensive hahah

I mean right now I just have the stock single cam. It gets the job done. I'm going SR soon (my friend has an extra one he is rebuilding right now) But everyone has different preferences. Did you have all the other PBM suspension pieces as well? I think they go hand in hand with each other very well, but that's my opinion about how my car is setup. Thanks for the input.

Yuppp shit is not cheap lol. Next thing I'm trying to do is 5lug swap and then SR

I've driven other 240's with PBM pro and fortunes, still prefer my Tein super drifts. As for going hand in hand, ehh. I don't agree. Other than the bushings maybe being different, it really shouldn't matter what arms you have in relation to performance of the coilovers.

But if you really think about it, companies aren't gonna make parts that are super compatible with competing brands. And they more than likely test their products while using their other suspension pieces. Either way, I'm entirely happy with my suspension set up right now.

With what though? Its a suspension arm. It sits still and that's it. The bushings might be different but dude it's meant for adjustments and it sits still and doesn't move. A PBM arm with PBM coils wouldn't be any different than like tein arms and PBM coils. It does not directly affect the coils in respect to handling. I could only see having different bushings being the only thing but even then it would be slight

You had the right idea on your first reply (minus the last sentence) . And now this post, not so much.

Suspension arms don't "sit still". PBM's bearings are spherical which move plenty and don't bind like poly bushings would.

As for mating PBM with PBM products and getting good results, that may be true... if you're comparing with stock components. But truth is PBM coilovers isn't as great in the handling department and their weak link as far as entry level coilovers go. I've come to realize this over time.

Drifting requires short bursts of hard driving and PBM has proven that it can withstand that type of abuse. But if you were to test PBM on a RR course and even an autocross course, you'd be surprised at how poorly they are valved and how poorly they "handle".

Again, I'm not saying PBM is not a reputable and quality company. But their coilovers aren't more than just colorful coilovers.

Again I said the bushings are the only big difference, and I wasn't comparing with stock, of course it would be with other good aftermarket arms, which pretty much a shit ton I've seen has spherical bearings. I'm saying the actual rod itself does not move. Yes the bushings flex or spherical bearings move but I'm comparing as if it was the same type of bearing with different manufacturer.
