So The last drift event I got to do in my blue S14 I ended up blowing the motor after about 20 mins into the day. It doesnt really surprise me because sr20's seem to hate me as of lately.LOL. Luckily my brother from another mother let me use his awesome white zenki S14 for the day and we drifted the shit out of it! Lil mikey was also shredding it up that day aswell! Here are some pics...
As for the blue S14's motor situation, We did alittle brain storming and decided on a platform that isnt widely used here in the good ol USA yet. The 1UZ-FE. The motor is a DOHC 4.0 liter v8 that is not only high reving and compact but also similar in weight to the sr20 aswell so balance hopefuly wont be sacrificed. Did I also mention dirt cheap also? $450 for the motor/wiring/ecu! Now that the east coast summer is just about over and soon enough it will be the cold winter. Stay tuned for pics and updates on the motor swap and also other fun modifications being made to the cars.
Here are a few pics of where the project is heading..
RESPECT THE V8!
