So i bought this ps13 for a good deal considering what they are going for now. The car it's self has a very clean body bar a hole in the bonnet where there was a bonnet scoop fitted. This was swiftly removed when I got the car to my garage. The paint work isn't the best it has been resprayed at some point but not to a high standard should shine up okay though and there are no rust bubbles or filler on the body from what I can tell. The car came with the seats and seat belts removed and with 4 spare wheels on it. It also came with the standard turbo ,injectors and ecu as the turbo and injectors that had been on it had been removed and previously had a stand alone ecu . It basically came with everything I needed to get it running apart from the odd wee bits and bobs. The car did come with some decent bits though such as a 340lph fuel pump, gfb electronic boost controller, blitz front mount with greddy piping, cusco strut braces front and back and a few other bits.
First thing I set about doing was finding out and ordering bits that I needed such as injector cushions and braided lines for the turbos I could get them put on the car. While I was waiting on them I set about putting in the standard ecu it was easy but there was one problem there was a wire hanging loose which I presumed wasn't right. So I went online and searched for wiring diagrams and pin outs for the ecu and found a really good one on nicco. So I put that back in to the pin which was still there and put it back in which was easy enough.
All my turbo lines came so I moved on to tackling reinstalling the turbo I managed to get that on and all the lines connected with the help from my brother holding the turbo out and I connected the lines to the block whilst lying in a puddle of coolant. So that went on with only a little bit of persuasion and patience. Putting the injector cushions in and re-installing the fuel rail with the standard injectors was simple all I needed was some new fuel hose and for good measure I ran some new vacuum lines aswell.
So my next problem was due to the car having different injector the plugs that were on the car did not fit the standard injectors. I went a head and ordered new connectors and fitted them I didn't want to cut the harness for them because it was already short enough so I de-pinned each connector took the old pins of the wires and put new ones on and soldered them for peace of mind. Then put them in the plugs and that was them done this wasn't hard if your patient it's just fiddly.
I was also missing a boost pipe for the car which I decided to get a greddy one which I ordered through Jesse streeter which came in no time and Jesse was a massive help.
That's where I am up to now with the car and it's ready to start fingers crossed.
