Now the story....fair play I got that car cheap or I wouldnt of bothered paying £2000ish on a S14a. Picked the car up and drove back home...this would usually take around 1 hour 30ish min in my little corsa though it took around 3 hours in the S14. The bloody thing cut out and we had to tow it home on the motorway with a rope probs about 7-8ft long...it was quite jailbait to say the least :wack:
Moving on started work on the S14's engine as we knew something on the bottom end was knocking, we suspected a spun bearing so my idea was to strip my s15 engine and replace the insides of the s14 with it meaning my s15 engine will be stripped and cleaned for the full HKS make over.
Took the car into our garage and though lets see if the turbo will at least spool up then all of a sudden nothing.....this is the after math of that idea :wack:

Now we are thinking...F*CK! as the S14 is spilling its guts everywhere lol so engine and gearbox out in one (by the way you think you guys have a hard job with a S15 propshaft to come off! Angle grinders are your best friend when it comes to UK modles :wack and started taking bits apart, 1st the head just to see what we were dealing with and how its all going back together in the s15 as homework...

Here is what we found after taking the box off....(p.s I know it says AO on this engine but trust me...I have never worked on it )

Yes that is part of the conrod sticking out the backing plate of the engine....

That is a hole at the bottom of the engine....

And this is the other side of the engine from the first 2 pics :wack:

 

[AllanOrr]

After a bit more stripping...bottoms up :wack:

Here you can see where is has smashed through the bottom of the engine...

This one showing where the con rod has blew of ripping everything to bits :wack:

Pistons out....apart from the fecked one :ghey:

And the pic I love the most :wack:

Thank god I have another engine kicking about to put in this

 

[AllanOrr]

You can see the path of destruction we left in the last pic as we took that engine to bits like animals :wack:

 

[meddler]

ouch.. that is messy

 

[AllanOrr]

Time for a little update here I think!

Have now got both the new Engine & Gearbox in the S14 with the thanks to Driftworks for a Exedy Stage 1 Organic Clutch also a HKS Induction Kit and a some 440cc Injectors this should be a strong Stage 1A car when its running by the end of the month,
Styling now sorted thanks to a URAS Body Kit & VeilSide Aero Spoiler which paired up looks the nuts!
Now on the look out for a set of URAS NS-1 Chrome Alloys or some Rota GTR's :wack:
Only things to get after that are a new Walbro Fuel Pump & H-Dev Stage 1A Chip then just little cosmetics

Some more upto date pics over the weekend :thumbs:

 

[LuPix_S15]

Awesome update dude!!


Wow that replacement engine looks a tad bit tidier lol :wack: Glad to see you have an S14 project too hehe :thumbs:

 

[AllanOrr]

[LuPix_S15]

Like our friend NOB lol....

 

[AllanOrr]

LMAO haha! pritty much only I would go for a PS13 :wack:

 

[pegliobaglio]

Good work mate,as lu said the new engine looks a lot cleaner!
Ps13 do it do it! Lol

 

[AllanOrr]

NOOOO need to finnish the s15 first lol

Pic update!

Also just sold my corsa today so now need this finnished for the end of next week :wack:

 

[AllanOrr]

Someone give me words of encouragement

sooo close to having this finnished got it running last week to find the turbo seals have gone, bought a T28 from GDUK Jap Parts went to fit it tonight to find issues with the power stearing either:
1. The power stearing pump is gone (has been replaced with another unit now still making the same noise!)
2. There is a blockage in the pipes
3. Its all F*cked!
Whats happening is a horrid whine noise and the fluid is foaming very quickly now bubbling
Also found it needs new track rods and ball joints all round....and to top it off the fuel lines burst... someone kill me lol

This was ment to be going to get the welding done for the next 2-3 weeks on sat but thats safe to say thats out the window :wack: lol

 

[LuPix_S15]

Dude!! Can't believe I missed your update pic... looks immense already


But gutted you got some issues to sort out... oh well that's cars for you (easier said than live with!!)

Ball joints you know you can get some ones from States that Craig has posted up before - so much cheaper than getting them here or dare I say it from Ni$$an :wack:


Keep going... one thing at a time :nod: :thumbs:

 

[AllanOrr]

Ano dude but fair play if we had a ramp we could get it all nailed in a day or do but axle stands and a jack is all we are using on this and we even get stuck down the side of the car cause of the skirts are so wide! lol
My mate keeps saying I should burn it but I wont be defeated Ball joints wise think I can get them spurious from my work got drop links for well free but they should of been about £8.00 each :wack:
Engine bay wise its looking ace just a right kick in the nuts tonight the way it all went pete tong

 

[pegliobaglio]

Chin up lad! You are well on the way to having 2 awesome cars man,don't be defeated now the big jobs are outta the way!
The car is looking sweet and once you have sorted these little problems you will be on the road having fun in no time!

Good luck mate! I expect an update saying how much fun this car is in the next few weeks!

 

[AllanOrr]

Well car is pritty much finnished now, got the new fuel lines on had to buy another T28 turbo for it though but goes into get the welding sorted this week while I am away on holiday so should be on the road for September

 

[AllanOrr]

Been on the road now since the start of September and going very well still needs some work painting, welding etc but nice to be back in a s-body after a year with out the s15 being on the road now can get to some meets :wack:
