first off u dont have an s13 exactly be proud of ur sohc hatch and use its proper name RHS13 being a usdm r- hatchback H- ka24e s13- chassis code . haha but s13 will do lol

if it was me i wouldnt have paid 500 for a blown auto 89 piggy. U certainly have ALOT of work ahead of u man good luck, also buy tons of gojo by the looks of ur car ull need it lol

 

holy shit man, its an S13, all 89-94 240sx, 180sx, silvia etc are S13, who actually says RPS13 or RHS13 and all that shit..its still an S13 none the less...

looks like youve got a good project ahead of you :thumbsup

 

I don't have 20 posts yet and I can search all forums? ; Might be because I've been here a while...

Anyway, I like your pignose and the plans you have for it. Good luck and keep us updated.

 

$500 dollars for an blown 89 with auto can be worth it the space is availible... would love to do the same except for and LS1 swap.. but i live in San francisco and on a hill with no garage...

hmm...that's odd that you can't search the other forum. Well, as some mentioned already...you need 20 posts before you can post on other sections.

Whatever you do...don't post senseless one word or bs posts minutes apart. Stuff like that urks me and if I catch it...temp ban.


Good luck on your project, how much knowledge (or information) have you gathered towards doing a RB26 swap? I helped my friend with his and man it was hell for him. Have you searched (or joined) other forums?

Cool deal, as long as your taking your time you should be fine. Putting the motor in can actually be a PITA if you want to keep both turbos. My friend had to get a custom d/p made and do a bit of work on the oil pan. As far as ECU...he's using AEM (very nice and very $$ haha). The RB section is pretty nice on this forum, the only other forum I can think about that has decent RB info is NICO.

Good luck with your project.

Correct me if Im wrong... from all Ive read anyway. Shouldnt a RB25 oil pan work?

Yea the RB25 oil pan will work, but still needs some slight modifications. My friend used a RB26 oil pan instead, even though it needed more custom work.

 

nice man im a newb too..i just bought an 91 240sx fastback 5 speed dohc though...115k on the clock and i just did new wires and a valve cover gasket...needs somemore work but its awesome i love it!!!

 

Nice find, good luck on the project.

Here let me waste some of my (20 Posts) we should atleast beable to look through the other fourms even if we can't post I just want to look up some info but now I have to come up with 20 usless posts before I can look but oh well here is one less.

 

and while I am at it here is another

 

and the last

 

mxpx035 - rules are rules.......I'm warning you....

 

getting your post count up isnt that hard..shit like that is just annoying. just be patient. good luck on the project though. kinda reminds me of where i started. blown auto 90 hatch. 2 years later its running 5spd ca18 hatch. just takes time and a job.

 

Awesome

My friend and i just started a project early this may we've mostly just started stripping away what we don't need and figuring out what the details of our plans are gonna be good luck with the project i'll be looking into it.

 

The likely hood of you doing an rb26 swap is 99% a no. So prove me wrong.

I paid 600 for my running, 5 speed piggy. I love project cars, keep us updated.

 

rb26dett has been done in an s13. Marco at www.sr20store.com has one in his s13 coupe. A lot of work but I'msure it's worth it.

 

nice car to start with, thats what im looking for right now....

also makes it easier its not your DD so you can leave it apart for more then 6 hours or so.....not sure how im going to overcome that...
