'Krome' S14 N/A RB test build

[winstonusmc]

Yeah, the throttle shelf is temporary. In the US, I will fab up linkage for the bottom. I might also relocate the wiring and the vacuum collector as well. But this is just testing for now, and testing is good. just waiting on the videos for now.

[89JDM240sx]

Good stuff... What kind of gas you planning on running?

[winstonusmc]

86 octane

[fliprayzin240sx]

When you leaving Oki Matt? I'll try to time my swap around your PCS, for your wiring service.

[winstonusmc]

For those who want to know what it sounds like.

[project-D180]

niice..sounds amazing

[c72c]

Here are two straight from the camera. Still throwing together a little collage for later.

[atom]

ITB + Straight 6 so good. Jesus. Makes the KA sound like a tractor.

[Imarvin240]

well done on the ITB setup, sounds sick

[project-D180]

now only if someone could come up with a set of itb's for the ka i would b all over it..great build..are you plannin on puttin high comp pistons n cams in it

[winstonusmc]

I want to drop a set of HKS cams on it, but that will be for later. Also, gotta find a way to get custom pistons for it too.

[s14unimog]

Right on man, that thing sounds awesome. You worried about needing a filter for that thing?

[fliprayzin240sx]

Damn Matt...you guys wanna chip in a plane ticket for me so i can drive it?!?! Shit sounds fucking awesome. I thought I6 turbos sounded good but ITBs sound fucking better. You guys gonna run foam filters on the ITBs?

[winstonusmc]

Not really going to run filters here. Not too much of a dust problem here and the rings are getting replaced in the US anyway. Now when I get to Cali, filters will deffinately be used on daily use and they will come off for cruising and hard parking.

Hey Ray, thats a great excuse to come visit, now get on that plane! It could be faster though, probably do to lack of compression and a good tune.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Whats wrong with the compression? Thought you're using a stock NA RB25 bottom end?

[project-D180]

that thing would really be n animal with 11 or 12.01 cr

Still not high enough. He's going to try getting some high comp pistons later. I'm going to see what the 26 crank with 25 pistons will do for me. Have to get it together and check the clearance though.
As for the filters, same here. Once I get to NM and get a set of trumpets made up, I'll be doing the same.

As of right now the only thing lacking other than more power in 2nd gear is a 4.9 final.

Krome's curtain call was...well... just that.

Started the day out pretty good. Nice weather, plenty of tires, car was running good....

Let's review, shall we.

You could say we have a 'thing' for 5 spoke wheels.


Matt standing happily by the car, totally unaware what was in store once I got behind the wheel.


A few hours later.... I gave it a new paint job and remodeled the interior.










Along with the cosmetic changes, did some light fabrication to the core support and tension rod brackets.
Who needs a nice aluminum radiator? Not this guy.




Matt didn't like the new look, so he insisted on putting it back how it was. Tow rope and a Delica and a lot of hammering got it back to how it was.


Had a bit of mud in against #1 and 2 throttles... we did some cleaning, didn't want to choke on anything.


All doctored and ready to run some more. and thanks to Purdy for unknowingly letting us borrow a radiator.


This is what happens when you don't have time to react to roll the windows up...


I was unhappy with Matt not liking the new look, so I took it off road again and showed the bumper who's boss.


At least we still have a license plate.





Our day came to an end when Matt noticed a misfire. We either have a bad coil pack, or a bad circuit on the Megsquirt.


All in all, it was a good day.

[yomisiu]

uhhh

[doke! ドリフト]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT KRIS!! Did you have the go pro going when you went off track?

Lol. No, no one had any of the cameras going. Only one person saw the whole thing, everyone else caught the end of it or just the after math. I'm a little bummed, would have been great to see it from another angle.

Someone did mention, the majority of what could be seen were huge splashes. Lol. I hit all three puddles on the right side of the chute.
Hurt my neck and back and got some burns on my neck from the shoulder harness.

[doke! ドリフト]

Shit that sounds bad man, Oh I bet the wall of water was insane! party.

[c72c]

That's all we wrote.











Twas a great month.

[fliprayzin240sx]

So how the hell did you guys managed to do that? Guessing chokudori out of the shoot left, right to set you up for the left sweeper and car didnt wanna go left...4 wheel slide into the grass/mud pit? How deep did you get in there?

[future]

Why did you part it out?

Almost. Everything went fine out the shoot but when I went ass right I was too close to the edge. Clipped the rear wheel on the edge put the ass in the air, did a 180 back on then off the track and bounced through the 3 puddles. I ended up in the tall jungle spot on the other side of the big puddle.
Saw it coming but there just wasn't enough gear to push me six inches forward.

I'm moving back to the states in just over two weeks. Matt is leaving in a few months. He's taking the engine/trans, I'm taking all the parts I put on that I didn't sell, and Skrappy and Mike are taking the shell for their next 25det drift car.

We only got it running to see how the engine would do. Both of us are pretty satisfied with what came of it. Now, we go deeper and make more power out of it.
He'll build the one that was in the car some more.
I have all the parts for a second one I'll be building.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Haha, atleast you didnt fall off the ledged or high centered on the giant rocks out in the brush. I can only imagine how awesome the smell is, fucking mud out there smells like utter cow poop.

Yea. The tires we didn't finish burning still smelled like shit when I got them home. lol. Had to scrub them pretty good.
I thought I was gonna go through the brush... shit just keep going... and it was dry. lol. at least the asphalt was...
The bouncing hurt like hell though. Neck, back... and the harness cut my neck on both sides. Thought the damage to the car was going to be a lot worse when I got out.

[fliprayzin240sx]

I think Skrappy is bad luck. Same shit happened to my car, told him he can have it after I tear it down, then took it to my last drift event and my rear end made out with the wall.

[c72c]

hahaha. Coincidence? I think not.
