    Default f/s sr motor set, needs rebuild

    alright we'll do this the hard way. this was my 500whp project, but i just went in the hole $144,000 (but i got a nice house). i dont have the cash to finish this one anymore i need shit for the house now. washer/dryer, sofa, frig, freezer, sofa, kegerator, got get the power turned on, gotta get the water turned on, need to buy a new toilet, you get the idea. anyways here it is.


    the motor needs to be rebuilt, there is no question of that. the head is in really good shape though. tomorrow, when it gets a bit warmer, i'll pop the bottom off so you can have a proper look at the inside.

    you also get a trans that i know for sure is in good working order, it was in my s14 when the redtop was in it.


    you also get a good(damn near new) stock clutch and flywheel, as well as that thin piece of metal that goes between the flywheel and the block.
    the clutch:

    flywheel, metal thingy, and thermostat housing with associated plumbing.

    you also get a good iacv(bad pic i know but its all there and the plugs look good).

    you also get a complete intake manifold, includes throttle body and tps.

    not shown are a stock exhaust manifold, o2 housing, o2 sensor, and stock dp. i can get pics if you want them but if you've seen one you seen em all. the o2 sensor is in good working order.
    so by my count thats all the sensors you need, except the one that really matters.

    it works, i tested it the day i got it to make sure.

    i've also got the clutch pedal assembly from an r33, that may or may not work in an s13/s14. i never tried it cause all my stuff is/was a 5spd or had been previously converted.


    i have the ac compressor, a mostly complete smic set, a water pump, and i think thats it.

    things you will need to buy to get it running
    1. turbo (good excuse to upgrade)
    2. oil lines for the turbo (go to summit and buy the steel braided ones, they are cheaper by a few hundred bucks)
    3. alternator, starter, and ps pump (i aint gonna lie, these 3 things are gonna cost about $350 to replace).
    4. wiring harness, mafs, ecu, and ignitor chip
    5. injectors, fuel rail, coil packs, and coil pack harness. (i may be able to get the harness for you)

    thats it, everything else can be taken off the ka.

    so the magic number is $1200. if there are bits you dont want or dont need, id be willing to go down as far as $1000. as for the rebuild i got quoted $500 by a reputable engine builder. it should cost no more than $2200 to get this thing back to running stock condition(that includes buying this set up and all the crap i dont have and having the motor rebuilt). course if you were smart you could come out with a 300whp monster for around $3200.

    anyway like i said $1200 takes it.

    i've got 2 tests tomorrow, so i will get good pics of the block up on wed sometime. im willing to give credits or take trades for a frig, freezer, a good sofa, you know house shit. um... im willing to part this stuff out but it really is cheaper to buy it in bulk. a couple of you guys get together and buy the whole thing then part it out amongst yourselves, thats cool. i just dont want to take this stuff to the new house (which is farther nrth than i live now).

    the motor is in way better shape than i first thought. were i to keep this motor for myself i would pull the rotating assembly, polish the cylinder walls, replace the bearings, replace the oil pump (its within spec,according to the fsm, but id replace it anyway), and the timing set (the timing set looks ok but its a nissan and that shit is made of plastic). according to the fsm all the rod bearings are within tolerance and as far as i am able to tell without taking the thing completely down so are the main bearings.
    pics of the cylinders:

    pics of the head:




    you could rebuild this thing yourself, or if you have giant brass balls use you could throw it together and see what happens (personally i want to keep it, throw everything together, put it in a car and see what happens, but thats me). if you want more pics let me know. if your even remotely interested you should come by and have a look, i cant take pics that do it justice.

    $300 for the tranny.

    it pretty much goes like this.
    $300 for the trans
    $300 for the head
    $350 for the block
    if you want some of the little stuff ask and we'll go from there.
