Owner Leo: When Leo brought in his s13 it was for the most part bone stock, minus the k-sport coilovers & the xxr wheels, but he totally transformed his s13.. with almost every suspension component replaced & the replacement of the aged ka24de engine. This was a special build because the customer requested to retain air conditioning, power steering etc...

So we began: The arrival of the chaser 1jz-gte/r154 engine set:



The removal of the old ka24de:



After the removal of the engine we pressure washed/degreased the engine bay thoroughly ...it's white again.


Once we had the shell stripped of the engine/transmission and cleaned we began the task of installing the vast amount of suspension and brake upgrade components that was provided.



















New meagan moutor mounts, New steering rack w/ bushings & sway bar.



Then moving onto the interior: installing new steering wheel w/ quick release hub , bride seat and custom build rail etc..

 

looking good Justin

 

looking dope man . Hey what brake rotors are those?

 

Some more parts to install:





Intercooler piping/intake done:







Battery relocation:

 

1jz / r154 in: using our in-house mount kit:









Removed the battery tray to make room for the ic piping & reloocated the fuse box apprx 2" lower to make room for the intake, we built a neat little bracket to replace the existing fuse box bracket:

















Everything fit like a glove

 

We used Leo's project to produce our new Hybrid Motorsports driveshaft

 

The exhaust that was provide was for a ka/sr... but we modified it to work....







The open diff was also replaced for a j30 lsd unit

 

 

Looks like a sweet project especially if you managed to keep the AC! Hope to see this car around soon
