Ive been through many S13’s and the time finally came last year when i purchased my S14 kouki. I always liked this car since i was a kid, but they were just more than i could afford. i finally came upon one, the body was MINT! but mechanically (engine wise) it wasnt too good, long story short, ive pulled the motor out 4 times in one year! but today some goodies came!

heres the S14 after i put some work into it

hope you enjoyed my build thread so far, i will update as i go along. next step machine shop! : D

Quality bits! I can get behind this one! Any HP expectations?

well when im done with my whole setup i hope to be pushing around 350 WHP with a GT2871R or a T518Z. but as of now, it should be pushing stock hp till i can get some more money to afford a power fc, turbo, injectors, and tune. : (

i figured since its blown, might aswell build the motor so i dont have to worry about it in the future.

Yeah it’s always smart to think a head…

really clean

what motor is in the s14?

SR20

Good luck with the build!

thanks guys! the motor should be going to the machine shop tuesday.

now does anyone have a KA/SR clutch alignment tool i can buy?

please dont tell me i dont need one, cause ive done it many times without one on a normal clutch.

i need one to align my twin plate OSGiken clutch.

please pm or post here!

welllll the engines at beatty and woods machine shop for machine work and short block assembly! : D more updates to come!

well i got a call from my engine builder today. and i need a new crank! SO WHO HAS ONE!?! PM ME PLEASE!

well its time for another update! I found a crank that i needed. : ) but im still looking for a clutch alignment tool!

anyways more parts came in from nissan! theres the new timing chain guide, new guide bolts, OSGiken pressure plate bolts, and new TOB and carrier for the OS, ohhh and a pilot bushing.

Build looks great :tup:

How much longer will it be in the machine shop?

hopefully ill get the engine back by the beginning of next week.

update! got the engine back today! will updates with pictures later! : D

Is that a OS Giken Super Single? I have the same one. Its an amazing clutch but very noisy when the clutch is disengaged.

Apparently the noise is normal haha.

yup the noise is normal. Car is looking good!

No its the OS twin. TS2BD or something.

nice build thread, good luck with the build

ok so heres the picture updates! got the engine back from beatty and woods!
