Ok I think im well overdue for an update on this. like i said above, i broke the motor somehow in january. organised to get a fresh one built and proceeded to making a new front end to promote cooling.
Fresh bottom end and reusing my head as i had been reconditioned not that long ago. but then this happened lol
so that put a stop to progress but really stoked to now be home owners, now the missus reckons we need to save up for a wedding
anyway after a few weeks my dad was pushing me to get the car back together so he came and helped with the heavy lifting. I had already cut out the whole front end to make it easier to put the motor in and to start planning the cooling system.
Before the motor went in, i bolted up a 2871r and external gate
this should help crack the 300hp!
Once the motor in, i got busy making the new front end. really needed maximum airflow and cooling capacity so got myself an S13 radiator and aftermarket fans and shroud.
Mate Dan working his magic with the welder!
Bolted a bar accross the 2 right angles and it looked roughly like this
And this is the final result.
Booked in for a run in tune this week. Hopefully all goes well and i can finally go skid again!
