Rb25 S14 Killing Machine

[RB25-S14]

It's time to crack the whip again on the S chasis. I took a break for a little bit after dumping 16k into a S13. Prior to that, I had a Z32 with some money in it. After the S13 I had a 04 SRT-4 on Meth and after that, an 02 Mustang GT. So now, back to the good stuff...

The Patient...a Champagne yellow 96 S14 with a KA24de, 5 speed. 5 lug hubs, No moon roof, No Wing, No ABS. If it had crank windows I'd be in heaven lol.

the interior will get some minor things done to it. Mostly though, it will remain unchanged. The ECU will be located in a floating bracket in the glove box, it will get a 3 pillar pod on the driver side A pillar. the rest of the read out goodies will replace where the Radio was. At some point, a half cage may be added. Harness bar and a good set of seats. That will probably be it.

Its currently sitting on a set of Kei Office coilovers that I'm ripping out because the rears are gone (suprise suprise). I have ordered a new set of CXRacing Blues. I have heard alot of good reviews on these and I know some people who beat them pretty harshly and they have held up great...better than my expensive coils did haha. It has a full Skyline brake upgrade currently with braided clutch/ brake lines all around. The exhaust is some junk setup the owner before me had. That will be gettin the boot asap.

A z32 diff will go in at some point, or I'll have my diff Welded. I had a welded diff on my S13 and loved it. It was there for you 100% of the time wether you wanted it or not haha. The police always gave me funny looks when I'd turn corners and the tires would chirp multiple times, always cracked me up.

As for now its rolling on a set of Kosies, but I have a set of Gram light 57 pro titan lips waiting to go on.

Did some test painting on my MAF. Gonna use this color shift paint as my motor scheme. Looks blue like this, and purple in other lights. It's quite nice!.

[RB25-S14]

Cleaned up, primed, painted the valve covers, the Coil cover and the cam cover. Look much better then the dingy stock ones that were on it haha. Making some headway on cleaning things up. Cant drop a dirty motor in the car .

[RB25-S14]

Just finished up a few loose ends with the paint today. finished my intake plenum. Next thing I need to do is actually get the motor on the stand so I can finish taking a few things off it, do the timing and clean/ paint the block and head. So much to do still!

So what turbos are you throwing at the RB25?

[Boss-zilla]

Gram lights *drools*...............

[RB25-S14]

I'm thinking a GT3076R. I want to go Top Mount though so it will have to wait a little bit since I'll have to buy a bunch of extra stuff to make things work smoothly. Kinugawa sells a nice one that I think I'll be picking up. I'll run the stocker till shes dead. No sence in wasting.

As far as the Grams go, there def Sexy time lol. Sadly I got them used so 1 of the back lips has minor curb rash, one of the front was wrinkled on the lip =\ I managed to get most of it out though. Negligent people fail. But, all in all, their still nice. And I found out the Titan lip is just a cover for the actual cast lip. So worse case scenario, The lips will be removed when they get too beat up and the cast lips will be polished.

[RB25-S14]

Well, I got my coilovers in today. A much needed replacement. Time to get those Kei Office coils out. No more bouncing around! lol.

[RB25-S14]

Stripped out and ready to fix the botched wiring from the prior owner...

[RB25-S14]

The white strips everywhere are snow flakes lol.

[RB25-S14]

Got my timing cover and intake mani temporarily on the motor. Had to see what it looked like together. I cant wait to get the rest together

[ibz]

That colour is awesome mate, good job..

[iruvyouskyrine]

Yep excellent colour choice, and wheel choice... and chassis/engine choice! Your doing it right!

[RB25-S14]

Today I got the interior back in, all aside from the passenger seat. I put my new CXRacing coils in and pulled my junk Kei office coils out. I was so motivated today that I even put the Grams on lol.

Hey guys. Havnt posted in a bit. Alot has happend including a new addition to the family. So heres an update of a few things. Enjoy!.

I picked up my mount kit from Mckinney Motorsports. Got my driveshaft from them also. They are quite nice. Def quality items.

Got the monster dent pulled in the back. Got 98% of it out. Just a skim coat of filler to hide the hammer marks.

Got my Greddy timing belt installed, OEM one looked to be in good shape, but better safe than sorry

Picked up some Kinugawa braided turbo lines.

Purchased a XTD clutch and lightend flywheel. Not exactly the best thing out there, But I've seen alot of people I know have good luck with them.

Got ready to pull the junk KA out

Got it out and started the fabbing /modding process to make room for the RB.

After all that jazz, I finally got to test fit the RB on the mounts. I cant wait to get it wraped up

More to come soon. put in a decent order last week. stuff should be here soon!

[adamskill]

nice one mate. look forward to seeing how this turns out. ive got a real soft spot for s14's!

[RB25-S14]

Thanks Had it out in the sunshine yesterday. looked so happy I had to snag a picture lol. Also my exhaust came in.

[RB25-S14]

Holy smokes, I havnt updated this ina while haha. Anyways, the motor is in and the car is being driven. Now I'm on to other things like getting it running properly. It's having some issues with idle "suprise suprise" and breaking up under boost it seems. It doesnt feel quite rite. But, that being said, I'm going to be buying lots of goodies in hopes of getting her on the rite path.

[RB25-S14]

Still need to tap a hole for my catch can too so it actually does something other then vent vapors lol.
