1JZ In and Out

by in Car Builds and tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , | Leave a comment

Yao’s 1JZ GTE had some issues with the clutch recently. After closer inspection, we realized that the clutch needed to be taken out and reinstalled to verify integrity. So the WHOLE motor had to come out just to get to the tranny (tight fit!). JSFab came over to the house and busted his ass getting this motor in and out in one night. Clutch feels amazing now, and there shouldn’t be any problems with that.

While the motor was out, might as well do some upgrades! JSFab also hooked it up on a steering rack relocation to make sure there is no binding at high angles. Can’t wait to get this car out on the track. After the wiring problem is fixed, its dorifto time!

I haven’t put a update here on a while. This is the new progress of my 1JZ GTE build in my S13. Wiring is in progress right now and we are looking like a weekend start time if the stars align. Look for a start up video and hopefully a tune video in the near future.

Jesse Hanna 1JZ build

Yao’s S13 1JZ build update

by in Car Builds and tagged , , , , , , , , , , | Leave a comment

So it has been a while since Yao has put a update out on his build. This build has been going for a while now and is almost near completion! Here are the pictures for the update. All the new fabrication and installation was done by Las Vegas’ Jesse Hanna. This includes the rear bash setup, fuel cell system, motor, etc. The cage, stitch welding, tubs, and 1JZ mounts were done by Forest Wang @ Get Nutz Laboratories here in Las Vegas. The car is looking like it’s going to be a monster and hopefully will have this thing put together and tuned within the next month.

We really tried to make this car dynamic in terms of being reliable and easy to fix. We went Vband on pretty much everything and all of the hoses and turbo clamps will be held on with Vibrant connectors and tbolt clamps.

Saip Bro’s V8 build

by in Car Builds | Leave a comment

Brian and Chris Saip have been putting some work in for their rps13 LS1 build. Yes yes, we have all seen many LS1 builds around, but we guarantee you guys the Verzus special with this one. The Saip bro’s have been working hard to make sure it doesn’t sound like the other annoying sounding LS1’s out there. I’m sure they will do it justice because the build looks so clean already. These pictures are just some previews. They will have the car up and running with the new motor here in the next few days and we will get better pics up on here.
