how's your motor running, dragon?
You mean the new engine I just built with even larger ports than before that will be in my car by the end of the week? Lets see.. I blew my engine last Thursday and I have a brand new engine sitting here on Monday because I had to wait on parts I ordered.. You see, I can afford to push my car to the limit and break it because I can fix it by my self and not have to pay sombody to do it for me.. I also like to experiment with diffrent size ports to see what they do... O' the whole engine cost me a total of $400 to build with Atkins apex seals for those who may be wondering..





How's your ragged out deted up/beat up 240sx? I've heard it's seen better days...

you've got to be the only **********er on the planet who can rebuild a 13b for $400.

my 240 is fine. waiting on parts. the intercooler is coming. clutch is on the way. sending out my ecu soon. the black 240 has no dings/scratches. paint on front and rear bumpers is a bit faded...

I helped him for about a minute while rebuilding the engine. I put in the eccentric shaft while he did all the work.



At least THIS time I didn't get a cut on my hand!!

$400...WTF?...that's EXPENSIVE for a 13B-rew rebuild. They normally cost $260 to rebuild, but the atkins seals cost $240 with shipping... ...which means that the TOTAL cost minus atkins seals for that engine is a whopping $160...which is mainly the o-ring kit from an FC.

The 13BRew kit is expensive.. the FC O-Ring kit for $80 has all the seals you need to overhaul the engine.. then all you need is all the springs (I usually always use new springs because heat makes spring steel loose it's ablility to be springy) usually you can reuse side seals and coner seals if they are within spec as they wear very little... On the engine I just built I also added size 200 jets in to the E-Shaft and took out the little springs and metal ball.. This is supposed to jet more oil on to the rotors to keep them cooler to prevent hot spots etc.. The cooler you keep the rotor the less chance there is to predetonate.. Anouther thing that helps is buying blown engines for $100 or less a pop and tearing them down for spare parts..
