Yao's S13 Coupe *Team Verzus*

[s13yaobling]

Just got in another price to the puzzle. this throttle body should be much better then stock.

90mm Q45 throttle body

Finally got in my box from DriftMotion with some goodies!!

This is a new thermostat, exhaust studs and nuts, some O rings and gaskets and - AN fitting bolt ons so I can get this motor all AN fitting out. THen I got the Front main seal



Then the new valve cover gasket kit for that good seal.



Then I got the new serpentine belt (without AC), Rear main seal, both cam seals, and -10 AN oil drain kit to replace the stock rubber hose system. Since I'll be running a single turbo it comes with a block off for the other oil drain hole.



Then I got the DriftMotion pulley kit, I love it looks great.



This pic has two pulleys on it, I just dont have the alternator on right now.



Then I got the 1JZ engine mount for the 240 from Forest and had them powdercoated by Ram Proline here in north vegas.

[s13yaobling]

So I have just been cleaning the hell out of the aluminum parts and making sure it's all nice and clean. Then I took off the fuel rail because I'll be running top mount and a new top mount fuel rail.

Making some lines for the oil drain system.


And I put on the engine mounts, So this is how it sits right now.

[s13yaobling]

So when we were taking off the stock twin turbos, the stock studs were super seized and instead of the nuts, the studs came out. So I got some replacement studs and nuts. They look good!



Heres the other pulley on and how its going to look (kinda) from the front when it sits. Once I get my top mount fuel rail and the valve cover powder coated its going to look A LOT cleaner.

is the back freeze plug leaking?

[s13yaobling]

No it is not. I can see how that looks like that though. I deleted that hole with the AN fitting cap, but I think it was probably leaking before. It was the oil line for one of the twin turbos.

My turbo and manifold should be here in the next week or so...I cant wait..

[driftfcbuckey]

Pulleys look good too!

what color are you doing the valve cover?

[s13yaobling]

White with Red flake. It should look really good. I'm going to try to AN fitting most everything to get it super legit and get those nice red connectors in there.

<-jelly. in for pics.


any way this is gonna be done for round 1?

[s13yaobling]

No it wont be unfortunately. I was going to try and rush it, but I want to make sure I get a really good setup ready for Rd. 2. I should be all fixed by Rd.2 though. I plan to be tuned and body repaired as well with a fresh paint job.

[s13yaobling]

Just got the valve cover back from Ram Proline and once again they have done a excellent job on the valve cover. I REALLY suggest that if anyone wants some powder coating done, they should go to them. It has a red pearl in it, kind of hard to tell if not in the light though.





Just ordered my clutch yesterday as well. I got the Exedy Metal twin disk clutch kit from EDO Performance. I was going to go with the carbon originally, but then decided against it because the clutch is going to get really hot and I didnt want to clutch kick and snap something because of rough engagement. So I stuck with the metal, and it should serve me fine.

Just dropped off the GodSpeed manifold to a machine shop at LVMS. The manifold is really crappy quality tbh, but with about 150-200$ worth of machining, and another 100$ spent to get a 90mm throttle body to fit, it should turn out decent. We all learn our lessons though.

DOC Racing manifold and Borg warner turbo will be here next week!
