when i have the garaged cleaned up and the rest of the outside of the car painted then yes.

 

Those few 'MINOR' things can equate to HUGE HEADACHES when it comes to rebuilding your motor. Trust me. I can't remember the exact problems we had but I had an s14 engine I was going to rebuild but the guy I bought it from needed it back because the s13 engine he was going to build had some minor differences in timing shit and what not that the machine shop was unable to overcome when mating the s13 block with his old s14 components.

That is very poor advice. I say buy an s13 for $500 and drive till it craps out, then just buy another. /sarcasm

Who is building the engine? you? IF you havn't selected a machine shop to do your build for you yet I'd recommend highly Engine Labs, they've done quite a few KA's around here. Their facility is top notch. Also check out XAT Racing. They too build some amazing motors. I'm not familiar with the AMS kit but I would check it out and also check with XAT Racing and see what they recommend. Most of the mechanics up their have been building/racing these cars since before we knew Nissan's could go fast.

BTW: scope out ka-t.org and browse around and look and different setups people are running. You'll get a good idea of what is involved what the power you are shooting for.

 

long time no hear or see at events tyler. what's new with your set up? are u on ka-t.org?

 

I'm wanting to get to some events (that's my new years resolution) haha. Jsut trying to scrape up the dough to put a heavier clutch in the car and get XAT to ROM tune her so I can beat the shit out of it without fearing it will explode on me. haha. I don't really do much on ka-t.org except research if Im having a problem cause the site doesn't move very fast as far as discussion go. Hoping to make it out to feb's nissan meet.

\EDIT: WTF, your rockin' a 400+hp KA? When the shit did this go down? damn Im out of the loop. Links to any build progress or anything like that?

 

thanks for all the advice TNathe!! yeah i havent decide on a machine shop but i'll check into those thanks again!!

 

wiesco 9;1 pistons dont really know the best mm tho..

 

the reason why he had a problem is because he was using an s13 block with an s14 head from what i understand. from what i can tell he has a full s13 motor and isnt mixing and matching parts, as to why i said that you can get the same parts for either motor.

as you can see with this link:
Automoto Sports Copyright&copy AMS 2006

there is no specific timing parts for s13 or s14. only dohc and sohc

 

yeah i seen that site yesterday a little pricey but i guess when it's all done with that kit it should be bulletproof. and yeah i dont have mix match parts it should all be s14 parts. also a little off topic but my speedo has never worked since ive owned it i heard since its a s14 motor with s14 wiring i need something to make it work. dont know what i need the tach works and everything, just no speedo??

 

ask "durdan" lol
