Follow me now my fellow rotorheads as I rip out my stock jdm 13b and move up to streetported 13b with s4 rotors. I will also be going with a bigger turbo/external wastegate. I am open to all comments and questions and I would love any input. Thanks and I hope you all enjoy.

 

 

 

perty, i'm not a big fan of the color red myself, i'm sure it'll be nice to drive

 

it was built to match a red fc....but **** happens.

 

It's kind of like a similar paint scheme to my car! Except, the outside is red... Oh well, Red, Black and White isn't that bad. What sort of Turbo you got anyway? I'm following down your road shortly...

 

gonna get a gt40r maybe.....depending on what i can find but for now i am running a bnr stage 4.....

 

looks good so far, but i dont see **** in the works yet...Lol

 

tear down starts as soon as the sun comes up.....got any exaust manis layin around teddy?

 

nice looking engine, lets see how this goes shall we??

 

looks like my engine... hahaha

 

oh jeez, I might have just found the paint scheme for my rebuild. I've been wanting to do something with red and black...

 

definately the way to go... ahahahaha

 

Is it just me or is your oil fill funnel in the way of the intake?

 

Looks good. So what is the benefit of the S4 rotors... compression, weight?

 

How do you have 800+ posts and ask questions like that?

 

You obviously haven't read many of my posts where I exemplify TIC comments.

 

i don't know what you mean......

 

low compression.....

more pics up shortly.....

 

So lower compression for higher boost? I thought it was better to have higher compression so you run lower boost.

 

There's different philosophies for different people. Some will do a Hi-Comp Turbo Engine, others will do a Low-Comp Turbo engine. It's just your end goals. There's benefits and draw backs for both. I won't claim to be an expert on either, but the information's out there with them. One really nice thing about lower compression rotors on a turbo application is they are less prone to pre-detonation depending on the boost and what not.

It was a tongue in cheek comment about your pictures and the angles of them where you have the oil funnel pedestal at just the right angle in all of them.

 

i knew i had a leak but i never thought it was that bad....

 

two shots of the teardown today....

 

and here's what i did outside the car...

 

and what i have to use tommorrow.....


everything is going well so far. I plan to pull the old motor out tommorrow, clean up, and maybe get the fly wheel resurfaced and swap the clutch.....but it might be cold so who knows. still looking at a much larger turbo system and a slight upgrade on the fuel system. the pictures aren't as clear cause i didn,t have my sony handy.....any thoughts so far?
