So since i blew my motor last year, i think its time for my build thread! heres my old S13, some of you may have seen it before. ![http://i44.tinypic.com/15y7peb.jpg](http://i44.tinypic.com/15y7peb.jpg) ![http://i44.tinypic.com/28usqxk.jpg](http://i44.tinypic.com/28usqxk.jpg) ![http://i42.tinypic.com/2zix17o.jpg](http://i42.tinypic.com/2zix17o.jpg) 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 ![http://i45.tinypic.com/2pqmiwg.jpg](http://i45.tinypic.com/2pqmiwg.jpg) ![http://i47.tinypic.com/nl3i9i.jpg](http://i47.tinypic.com/nl3i9i.jpg) ![http://i45.tinypic.com/2yyuv85.jpg](http://i45.tinypic.com/2yyuv85.jpg) ![http://i42.tinypic.com/343rhp0.jpg](http://i42.tinypic.com/343rhp0.jpg) and heres the POS ![http://i47.tinypic.com/apgpbk.jpg](http://i47.tinypic.com/apgpbk.jpg) ![http://i41.tinypic.com/21j94ds.jpg](http://i41.tinypic.com/21j94ds.jpg) soooooooo i took it all apart once again! ![http://i44.tinypic.com/nf5f9i.jpg](http://i44.tinypic.com/nf5f9i.jpg) uhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh… ![http://i41.tinypic.com/2me3ij8.jpg](http://i41.tinypic.com/2me3ij8.jpg) and heres the goodies that ive ordered through AMS! ![http://i42.tinypic.com/2gt0r36.jpg](http://i42.tinypic.com/2gt0r36.jpg) hope you enjoyed my build thread so far, i will update as i go along. next step machine shop! : D ---

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. ---
