Default Track spec 200sx & Series 2 rs on Gas

Here's my old S2 project in all her glory please forgive the bonnet it was in fashion at the time lol, the car was broken up and sold in bits a good few years ago but was a quick car back then. Still on mfi aswell. I loved this car.













14.1@107





Now my latest project my s13 200sx. I know the bodykit is awful but thats last on my list of priorities.

The big ends went in 07 so the engine has been fully rebuilt by jamsport with forged pistons, ported head, standard cams (for now), 550cc injectors, SE front mount intercooler, GT28rs .86 and running gotech mfi and wizards of nos nitrous kit.
Oh yeah and a cut off broom stick handle where the dump valve used to live lol.

Old engine



New engine Jamsport built forged ca18det on gotech mfi



Then added a mongoose 2.75 exhaust, tubular manifold and turbo elbow. Car was then mapped.





Took it off the road early 08 and finally in a position to continue with my project, here it is looking sorry for itself.





Started to strip it a couple of weeks ago, rear seats gone, carpet etc hopefully strip some more crap out once my health improves.





Went on a spending spree at apex performace last year and got these parts to go on.

KW Version 3's



Ksport 8 pots 330mm disk, hopefully upgrading to the 356's



ds2500's















Gauge, lower front brace, whiteline suframe alignment kit, solid steering rack mounts



New K&N next to my old one for a comparision



When mapped I was told I had very high air charge temp so hope this fixes it, the thing is stupidly big.



rota torque drifts 17x8





Should get interesting over the next few month's. I've also bought a custom cages weld in roll cage and its a monster lol. This isn't fitted in my car yet but this the same one I have just so you get a idea how it looks.















Suppose i'd better get fitting some of these bits.

darren - yeah I loved that RS was proper quick for its day glad it inspired ya to want one! I broke the car because I had a mint fiesta mk1 that I was swapping the engine into but it turned out it was rotten so project abanded lol.

What road do you live on? pm me if you prefer.

Brakes I got for about £630 but this was when they first came out and there was a group buy on them, I think I ended up paying a bit more as I when for 2500's over a ksport street pad.

Just got some R888's in so all got to do is get fitting, its just too cold out there lol.

spec was PE blueprinted 1.6 standard comp, stage 3 T3, PE stage 3 head with kent 34 cam and k-jet with fuel pressure mod set-up by SCC and 50bhp nitrous jet.

That graph was with gas but bottle was almost empty and the cam shit itself giving passenger rides 10 minutes after that print out. It should have been about 280-290 with decent bottle pressure excuses excuses lol

Found a old vid at santa pod, bad quality though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omw3rp1_BKo
