Thread: Other B13 Rally car Build

Sometimes that's the best thing to do in this situation Gus.

Do you have a skid plate for the front, and if so, where did you get it or did you have it custom fabbed up? I cant find crap for aftermarket ones, went to LSPR last year and there was a b13 Sentra there running and he had one, but didnt get a chance to talk to the guy to ask him lol.

I am not aware that anyone ever made one for B13 chassis commercially. Everyone who has one had to custom make their own. Mine is a partial one because the piece of aluminum I had laying around was not wide enough. But it protects the oil pan and that's what's most important in my opinion.

Hi there , like Blownb310 say there is no one that has commercially build a skid plate for are B13 , I had coustumer made mine as everyone else that ran b13 in rally stages .
In the past I use a Subaru skid plate from a WRX witch required some bending cutting and welding more then I wanted but not much around , this last one I purchase a skid plat from a Evo and I have to say is the best choice out there that with little fabrication looks really good , it only required one bend and some trim .
If you got any question or need any help just shoot me a pm or text me at 860-690-6318

clear your pm box lol

Clear !

So finally after some time I can seat and post some pictures , I'm not a export in building engines and needing the help of others made this a long wait , I'm learning and my next build will be all me expect the tuning witch I'm far from knowing much.
About 2+ years ago I decided I was going to start racing again and decided to go with what everyone was talking wonders of a VE engine.
After some talk and lots of back and forth I, we decided that I was going to have build a high compression VE ( if I knowing then what i know now I will had just gone with a Stock VE ) simple .
After some time a few month back I pick up my engine witch I install and the had tune , wish the car was older so I didn't have to deal with emission wit h tun to be a pain in the a@@ .
After getting the car, tune and set I took the car back home to finish up with the safety equipment need it to compete in San Blast Rally 2013 , week prior to the race I took the car out for a spind wanted to put some more miles on engine witch only had 120 at the time, I put on additional 80 miles wild cruising at rt 84 .
Ones at home and after a few hours back I decided to ran some compression test don't ask me why just did , at that time I had stil to learn how to run a proper compression test my result at the time were 270-270-35-180 concern with what I found I call a few Friends that know about cars to assisted me with the car .
We started the car and let it ran for about 10 minutes to it got to temperature lets not forget this was last week of Feb. after the car temp got up to normal operation temperature we tested the compression in all 4 and came up with 270-270-180-150 witch was not what I had before ,the only explanation of the 35 jumping to 180 was that I didn't have the test toll properly install went I tested it and the 180 dropping to 150 is because I lost more compression :-( at this point San Blast was out of the question. So I finally decided that it was time to learn and start building my own , is amazing what you can learn by reading and watching videos in YouTube :-).
So I took the engine apart with the help of a friend and this is some of what we found .
