DEFTFORCE is da ****!


It all started when I had my drivers licence. I built my own dragster, a Cuda -70 with 1136 hp. Hemi Cuda -70 (http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/album/album.php?username=shogun&cat=6361)


It was an awsome adventure to be in control of this extreme machine, knowing I built it myself and have success at the races. Eights on the strip, lovely time it was but rediculously expensive.

Today I´m building an extreme street racer. Handling and brutal power in a nice wraping.
Even if I am building most of it myself, it is costing a lot, but it is worth every single Krona, Euro and Dollar. Luckily there are many good suppliers around the world who produce quality parts at decent prices. I have made many good contacts during the years.

I bought the car in 1998, it was in a very good condition and more important, the engine was flawless and without errors and only a few Miles on it, just to pay.

The first mod I did was 17" rims, lowering springs and adjustable Koni dampers.
After that some styling. Got in contact with Erebuni and together we found a package and named it Shogun. They still use my car on their site.

The engine needed an upgrade. Started with exhaust system, chip tuning, open air filter and increased boost. The result was rather meager, some lousy 200 hp. Nothing to chear about. I got an intercooler, a larger turbo and a manifold. Increased fuel pressure and a modified chip. Together with some other changes, the engine produced some 300 hp... Still not satisfied.

I sold most of it.

After a heavy research I started collecting high performance parts to make it 100%. Forged pistons, forged rods, new aftermarket control unit, injectors, turbo, manifold, large IC, water cooler, clutch, oil cooler, fuelpressure regulator, blow off valve, etc etc... Bosch Motorsports added high ohm 960cc injectors from their development department. It´s nice to have contacts.
Lots of things is needed to assemble a 600hp engine.

How will the gearbox manage all those horses and the hughe torque?

The original tranny dies between 300 and 400hp...

I have to make my own.
Said and done. I bought a Z32 tranny that without swetting manage more than 1000hp.
The bellhousing was cut off and the S13 flange part was TIG welded on. A special made prop shaft and a tranny bracket was made. Thats it! OK...a short shift on top of it.

Potent engine, durable tranny...but...gripp?
How to solve this?

Bought 18" Japaneese light weight drifting rims and really good rubber.
One of the better LSD:s on the market was bought from ATS in Japan and found its place in the rear axle.
Coilovers, adjustable link/rods made of chrome molly, ball joints, swaybars...there is a long list over all modified chassie parts and upgrades.

I mounted the brakes from a Skyline, both front and rear. The brake discs got some work and the wheel hubs was exchanged to 5-bolt version to prevent the wheels from escaping during acceleration.

The interior was modified with Sparco seats, 3" 6-point belts and some more, making it able to handle and keep full control over engina data and the car handling.

It is not an easy thing to create a monster kind of car but with time and effort it is possible, but not for free. For more information, have a look on my site. There are lots of pictures, both on parts and projects.

I look forward, summer to come
`Shogun´

It has been rather unclear what ARP-studs to use for the main bearing caps on the ca18det. I made an extensive investigation and can now confirm that the kit 165-5402 is a 100% fit.

This is how I rebuilt a Z32 gearbox to fit my car (200sx S13 with ca18det).

The good thing about it is that you can reuse the nice clutch you already invested in for your S13. I have a twin disc OS Giken clutch, bought for my S13 gearbox. Both gearboxes have the same dimensions on the ingoing splined shaft, release bearing, sleave etc. This makes it an absolute fit. The gear ratio is slightly higher. My car had before a top speed of 282km/h at 7800rpm. With the ratio of the Z32 gearbox and new tyres it will make aprox. 305km/h. Hope you like it.

Clutch: Same as S13 (clutch, bearing, release sleave, starter motor, flywheel)
Weight: A bit heavier because of internal dimensions
Length: A bit shorter (reuse the yoke from the Z32 and the rear part from theS13 and make a new, longer prop shaft)
Gear ratio: A bit higher (~5%)
Shift stick: Reuse the one from Z32 or buy a new short shift
Welding in cast aluminium: You need a TIG or go to a welding shop (sand blast the weld area to make it clean and easier to weld)

Z32 original gearbox from a Twin Turbo 1994

Disassemble the clutch housing (Z32)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df5ccd53.jpg
Parts to remove to disassemble the clutch housing. Not shown are the screws on the outside (remove), attaching the cluth housing to the gearbox.

Remove all screws around the cover and carefully lift it off

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df75f7b4.jpg
Remove both snap rings and the stopper ring

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df603a9e.jpg
Be careful not to lose any important washers or shims

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df72cb27.jpg
Important! First remove the screw, spring and ball before removing the complete interlock assembly, the ball might fall into the gearbox.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df6b27a7.jpg
Before you disassemble the clutch housing of the S13 gearbox, you have to make a centering device. Use a plexi glass plate (10mm) and drill a 16mm hole in the centre, put the plate over the shaft (snug fit) and carefully drill 4 small holes exactly in the centre of the holes where the gearbox is attached to the motor. Remove the plate and carefully drill the holes just as big to get the screws in

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df7a4d24.jpg
Remove the clutch housing from the ca18det S13 gearbox. It is more or less just to remove the screws on the outside of the clutch housing, remove the cover and one snap ring.

Remove the snap ring under the cover

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df5e4457.jpg
Comparision between the both gearboxes. One is useless over 350-400Bhp, the other last well over 1000Bhp and more.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df77bcd7.jpg
Use an angle cutting machine and cut off the flange from the S13 gearbox ca. 50mm, take it to a machine shop and have it grinded down to 45mm. Important to get it absolutely flat and equal all around.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df64edd1.jpg
Use an angle cutting machine and cut off the flange from the Z32 gearbox ca. 40mm, throw away the flange and take the rest of the clutch housing to a machine shop and have it grinded down to 355mm. Important to get it absolutely flat and equal all around.

The prop shaft. Mount the Z32 yoke in the gearbox and the original flange on the rear axle. Measure the centre distance between the loops in the yoke and in the rear flange. Use this measure and go to your local prop shaft supplier and have him to make your new prop shaft. The shaft rotate at about 10.000rpm at max speed so it has to be dimensioned for the forces and also balanced.

Mmmm :smitten: pretty turbo... (I'm such a magpie!!) But whats the purple stuff on the inlet flange?

Since the ca18det is such a small engine and the turbo is LARGE, it is necessary to do something to improve the useable rpm-area of the ca.

It is not so visible on the outside, more on the inside.

Exhaust side:
a. The inside of the housing has been ported and polished to speed up the exhaust flow.
b. The inside has purple ceramic coating to keep temperature on the right side. Spool up much faster.
c. The heat shield between the turbine and the bearing housing has been ceramic coated to reduce heat transfer.
d. The vings of the turbine has been optimized for improved efficiency and durability.
e. The outlet has been opened up (cone shaped) to improve the exhaust gas flow.
f. The outside of the housing has been ceramic coated to reduce heat transfer to the under bonnet area and to keep up the internal exhaust gas speed

Compressor side:
a. Internally ported and polished air intake mouth to improve flow.
b. Turbine wheel is a CNC-machined ving shape, highly efficient, lightweight and very rare version.
c. Turbine wheel has sharp vings (attack angle) to "cut" the air very easy, less air resistance
d. Cone shaped outlet to give a smooth interface to the FMIC tubing
e. Lots of other things I do not know since they want to keep them secret "know how"

Shaft:
a. Strong, light weight and has some kind of special hydrodynamic oil bearings to manage the power

As a result the over all efficiency has improved massively.

This is how to change the wheel studs to longer ones (not my car on some pictures)

Remove the wheels

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10deacbaef.jpg

Remove the bolts on the backside of the brake caliper (socket 17) and hang it up with a bit of wire.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10df277df0.jpg

Remove the center cover on the wheel hub with a flat screwdriver.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10df77ad27.jpg

Remove the lock pin (replace with a new one)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e0086adc.jpg

Use a pair of flat pliers, squeeze the legs together and press out the pin

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e05493a5.jpg

[shogun]

Remove the centre nut (socket 32). The wheel hub will start rotating, use a long bar or equal between the floor and the wheel studs to hold the wheel hub in place.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e0c9d530.jpg

When the nut is removed, take out the washer placed behind it and pull off the wheel hub

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e110cdc3.jpg

Press the old studs out. If you dont have a wise or equal, you can hammer them out.

Please try to avoid using to much force when smacking them out, every blow will make small dimples inside the bearings. If you use a small sledge hammer One firm blow is better than multiple smaller ones. Support from behind is good to save the bearings.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e1e31319.jpg

Place the new longer studs in correct position (splines). Carefully knock them in a bit. Important that the splines are correctly alligned. Use a larger socket and a wheel nut and tighten till the stud is firmly seated towards the back of the hub..

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e264f97a.jpg

Clean all surfaces and put new grease on the bearing surfaces. If you plan to use larger brake discs in the future, it is a good idea to remove the splash guard behinf the brake disc before you remount the disc.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e2b671b5.jpg

[shogun]

Remount the washer, nut and locking pin. Assemble brake disc and spacer.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e31f2db3.jpg

Remount the brake caliper

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e372bb73.jpg

Mount the wheels and enjoy the wider stance :D

This is the result on my car (no spacers mounted yet and Camber not adjusted). This is also before the wider fenders are mounted.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img44fb17df8649b.jpg

I do not want to mess around with lots of hard to reach screws and nuts so I looked around to find a good solution.

Thanks to Creatix (http://www.creatix.se) I managed to lay my hands on a bunch of really good Stainless Steel V-band clamps and flanges. They make life so much easier eliminating the hassle with aligning bolted flanges. Easy to mount and dismantle.

I will use them on the exhaust system, the down pipe, the front pipe, the two wastegates and on the turbon :)

We have about 2 feet of snow at the garage so no driving at the moment *lol*

There is a air/air heat exchanger installed to keep the base temp up a bit and we use a bio diesel burner to warm up the garage. My god...it is like igniting a rocket...scary but very efficient :D (It is like the one on the picture but 3 times bigger.

Lots of action in the garage.
The head is improved one step further.
To eliminate fuel surge problems and fuel capacity at the track and during heavy acceleration, a surge tank is installed together with two Bosch 044 fuelpumps.

Included with the new Kouki lights, I got a new and longer boot lock-assembly. I do not want to have more than one key so I made a nice and easy modification.

Here is how to do it. I made a small "how to"
Enjoy.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4b67ff11de367.jpg

[.nismoboy.s13]

so, i got my fuel pump on ....AND MY CAR RUNS!!! hell yah!, the only problem now is that the hose that connects to the feed line of the fuel pump has a leak right by the hose clamp, i thought id just cut it and pull the extra hose over it, bad idea, it riped again so i have to get a new hose.

[shogun]

What will happen when the fuel pump in the tank will suck air instead of fuel?

This could happen when you are on the track or during heavy acceleration. The fuel is forced towards the side of the tank, away from the pump. Especially when the tank is not full.
The air will be pumped into the fuel line, onwards to the fuel rail and via the injectors into the engine.

Most of the time this will cause a noticeable decrease of power and it may also damage your engine.

To stop air entering the fuel system, a surge tank / swirl pot is a very good solution.

I have tested a couple of designs and found two really well working versions. Which one to use is mainly a question of available space. Some install it in the boot, others in the engine bay. I will put mine in the engine bay.

If it is installed in the boot, use Teflon hoses. They are more gas tight compared with ordinary steel braided hoses and will prevent the smell of fuel inside the car. They are also resistant against E85.

To connect the hoses to the surge tank / swirl pot, use AN-connections. Usual sizes like AN-6, AN-8 or AN-10.

The installation is fairly simple. Remember the high pressure pump need rather much power and should be connected over a fused relay. It is recommended to use the ordinary pump power feed as relay control signal.

Be careful. An engine in flames is not a nice sight. But I am happy your car is up on wheels again :)

so, i got my fuel pump on ....AND MY CAR RUNS!!! hell yah!, the only problem now is that the hose that connects to the feed line of the fuel pump has a leak right by the hose clamp, i thought id just cut it and pull the extra hose over it, bad idea, it riped again so i have to get a new hose.

This story has quite recently been published in a Swedish tuning magazine. The styling will of course look very much different with the Wide Body, new Front Bumper and more ;)

Picked up my new Tial waste gate valves from Svensk Turboservice yesterday. They came straight from the Tial assembly line in the USA.

Worth waiting for! They are the new, upprated version with integrated water cooling.
How small are they? I compared them with the earlier bolt on 38mm Tial WG and I can tell you. They are very small! Good! Since I do a twin installation and there isn't much space to talk about.

MV-S V2.0
This revamp features water cooling ports, three bottom air ports and two top air ports. Water ports are not required for operation, but come in handy at road racing, the top hat is close to the turbine housing/down pipe or when the engine bay doesn't get a lot of airflow. Air and Water ports are clearly marked so there is no confusion.

(mine are silver/aluminum coloured).

Today I made a major investment.

I bought a spigot bushing for a massive $8 :D

Part no. is 32202-7f401

For those not familiar with the term, the spigot bushing is a bronze sleeve bearing in the tail end of the crankshaft which carries the nose of the gearbox input shaft to provide proper alignment of the clutch disk.

Soak it in oil for a day or two before you install it. The oil penetrate the tiny holes in the bushing.

The old one is removed with a rod just a tad smaller than the inner diameter of the bushing and some ordinary grease. Fill up the hole with grease, put the rod inside the opening and tap it with a hammer a few times. The rod will press against the grease and the grease will force the bushing out. May take some harder taps if the bushing is a bit grumpy.

The original watercooled oilcooler, mounted on the engine block under the oilfilter, is sometimes creating a problem and has to be removed. It could be a problem with the function, available space etc. In my case the reason is a heavily tuned engine with high boost pressure. This create a very high local temperature rise. Let us call it a local thermal water explosion. This local temperature rise create a high local pressure in the cooling system and this could make the original oilcooler crack and cause a water/oil leak.

There are some ways to solve this problem, this is how I chose to do it:

Original oilcooler is hidden under the intake manifold and behind the alternator.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4aec91eb33a18.jpg

Original oilcooler. It is mounted on the block with 4 bolts.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4caec226a91fb.jpg

Here it has been dismounted.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4a47ca15eb3f7.jpg

A close up to show how it looks behind the oilcooler. It is important to remove all trace of old gaskets and paint. The mating surface must be smooth and clean since this is the surface where the oilfilter/sandwich plate is sealing snug and tight.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4a2d28d7dd300.jpg

In the centre you can spot the original stud. This is to be dismantled (twist it out like a screw).

[shogun]

Original stud dismounted.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4caec96b2766e.jpg

In Nissan FAST software, part 15213P is found. This part is only used on engines without an original oilcooler mounted on the engine block.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4caec8fb38a78.jpg

It is named "Stud, oil filter" and Nissans part number according to Nissan is 15213-W040A. I have ordered one and will test it to be 100% sure it is the correct part.
The valve I will mount in the filter holder.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4cefaadb5ea62.jpg

Stud, 15213-W040A, mounted in the block (the four bolts and the gasket shall be removed).
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4caec937bc384.jpg

Now you can select if you would like to use only a filter, an external oilcooler, a filter relocation kit or a combination with all of them.

I use them all.

Yesterday I was informed the new R-tyres are on their way and they should be delivered to me today. The flush fit wheel air valves have also been shipped. Soon time to get it all assembled and balanced. Exciting :)

I have that kind of valve on my other wheels too and they bring a nice touch to it.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4cb6ae8ac6716.jpg

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4875050524dd4.jpg

[shogun]

It turned out very well with the flush valves on the new wheels I use for the R-tyres. Pictures to be posted after next round in the garage. I will have to remember to always keep the air fill adatper in the car from now on.

When the tyres were mounted on to the rims, they had to pump them up to more than 4 Bar of pressure. It sounded like a big cannon in the tyre shop. My poor ears...I wasn't prepared at all... at least not when the first tyre went on.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4cc32dbe49121.jpg

[shogun]

Mounted some parts. It will be ok but as shown, there is lots to adjust regarding wheel alignment and I will also adjustthe track both front and rear. At the rear, there is plenty of Camber but still a slight gap between the tyre and the fender. At the front, there is also some space for adjustments. I will decide how much I want to slam the car when the coilovers have settled. The steering angle has improved with the spacers mounted on the inner tie rods.

At last, a major problem has been solved.
Earlier I used Aeromotive fuel filters with 10 micron filter elements and they blocked up very fast due to the small filter housings. I had to install filter elements with a coarser mesh and I did not feel particularly well about it.

Thanks to Creatix (www.creatix.se) I got hold of much larger and very hearty AEM filters that remove all particles down to 7 microns without being blocked. Very good!

They also flow through a proper amount of fuel. How about 2800 liters/h at 3.1 bar. I like!

Most of it. Engine's a bit different. Give it a try. Got a specific problem?

i got the car cheep im restoreing it there is 50k on the motor but thay did a getto swap

whats up man, i havent been on here in a while, i got that fuel problem with the fuel pump figured out, got new brakes, and motor mount (http://www.drivewire.com/part/engine-parts/motor-mount/) :) its all the way sanded down now, i got to go buy paint, plastic to cover my garage and spray it! its close to being done, ill post some pic when it is


It would be great to show some photos of the motor mount soon. Thanks for sharing mate.

Sounds you have lost power to the pump. Could have been caused by a couple of things. The ecu sends a on signal to the pump but if ecu, signal cable or fuel pump fuse is broken, the pump will not work. Some cars also have a shut off pump system in case of a crash.

First connect the maf correctly.
Check the fuses.
Measure the cables to the fuel pump if they have power.
Use a second ecu to test if that is the problem (risk it also wil die if shortage)

Some ideas mate. Give it a go. I hope it will solve the problem.

[dave2011]

ok do you know if a stock 240 ecu for the ka will work on the sr or do i need to get a sr ecu

[shogun]

You need the ECU from SR20. No other will work. Different hardware, different software.

[dave2011]

that may be hard to find here lol

[shogun]

Try ebay :)

[dave2011]

would you know what ECU i need for that setup ... SR20DET in a 92 240SX i see there are lotz

[shogun]

You need to know what engine you have ie sr20det from S14 or S14a. They have different ecu.
Look at the ecu and find out all information about it (numbers etc). That is the best way to sort it. If that doesn't help you could ask your Nissan spare parts guy to help you with the information needed.

[dave2011]

By chance would you know what color wires go where on the maf i cant find the info on line

That is a good idea mate. It's one of the basic parts to get when tuning a bit more.

Improved braking dynamics.

Yesterday the parcel from Australia arrived. Very nice quality on the damper.

New belts to use because of the undersize damper:

Alternator Belt (http://www.car-stuff.com/belts.htm)
4PK0855, 4PK825 or equal

AC belt
4PK0845, 4PK815 or equal

Power Steering belt
4/3PK0835, 4/3PK800 or equal

(check if you have 3 or 4 ribs)
"4pk845 Hicas" / "3pk845 Non-Hicas"
(4 rib belts for Hicas and 3 rib belts for Non-Hicas)




It is indeed great to have an alternator belt, my concern though is changing it, since it may be very tedious to accomplish. Is it even possible to do it alone? Or do I need the expertise of a DIY mechanic? I actually noticed that something the belt in my 240sx appears to be worn out that is why I decided to act on it. Thanks!

How to Change the Alternator Belt on a Nissan 240SX


Difficulty:
It's a piece of cake
http://forums.240edge.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42&d=1308812071

Things You'll Need:
• 3/8 inch drive ratchet
• 3/8 inch drive socket set

Instructions:

1
Open the hood and secure it in place.

2
Remove the front belt by locating the adjustment pulley that holds the front belt tight inside of the pulleys. The adjustment pulley has a locking bolt on the front and an adjustment bolt on the end of the pulley.

3
Loosen the locking bolt with the 3/8-inch ratchet and a socket. Turn the adjustment bolt at the end of the pulley counter clockwise to release the tension on the front belt. Pull the front belt off and set it to the side.

4
Locate the adjustment bracket on top of the alternator. Loosen the locking bolt on the adjustment bracket with the 3/8-inch drive ratchet and a socket. Then, turn the adjustment bolt on the end of the adjustment bracket counterclockwise with the 3/8-inch drive ratchet and a socket. Pull the belt off and set it to the side.

5
Route the new alternator belt around the alternator pulley and the crankshaft pulley. Turn the adjustment bolt clockwise to tighten the belt with the ratchet and socket. Then, tighten the locking bolt on the front of the alternator bracket down tight with the ratchet and socket.

6
Put the front belt back on the pulleys. Turn the adjustment bolt on the end of the adjustment pulley clockwise with the ratchet and socket to tighten the front belt. Then, tighten the locking bolt on the front of the pulley down tight with the ratchet and socket.

7
Crank the engine and let it run for about one minute. Then, turn it off. Inspect the belts again to ensure that they have remained inside of the pulleys. Close the hood.


Tips & Warnings
• To make sure that the belts are properly tensioned, push down on the belt with your hand. If the belt has more than a half inch of slack, it will need to be tightened more. Both belts should have no more than a half inch of slack.
• Keep your hands away from moving pulleys while the engine is running.
