"The K-swap 240 is back..." And thumbs up.

This s14 is so clean, i can't believe how nice it is! The big brake kit looks amazing with those rays wheels, great job!

I admire both of your guys level of positivity, from the first time I started watching a few years ago no matter the challenge or whatever problems come up you seem to move through them so effortlessly (mentally). Despite my enjoyment of the cars this is by far the best thing about the channel. I'd really like to know what they but in the food over there haha. But seriously if you have any advice on your mindset/outlook I know myself and I'm sure others would greatly appreciate it. Oh and don't worry I always hit the like bucket :) DP, PT - keep it up to 1Million subs.

I like how this 240 isn’t a drift car. I’m so sick of seeing “drift builds”.

Paint needs a correction next episode ;)

You guys earned a sub, looks like you guys actually really care about cars and are passionate, and the quality of work done on your cars is great 👌

I have a unit 2 sump on my k swap ek, it's fantastic, zero pressure drop at all on the logs, and super well made! I'd use PTFE tape on those threads 😊

I've been following this car a long time, and it's amazing to me how much it's been developed over the years. Go back and watch some videos of it from the tuning dungeon days...

Thats is nice that the ebrake is using the drum integrated in the rear.. very cool! No worries about using it after some hot laps (and cracking the rotors). Also, that spec 37 iron that is used in those rotor rings is awesome. I have been on those for the last 3 track weekends and the rotors are still perfect, very durable!

Those are some big brakes!! Glad to see the k swapped 240sx is back!!

Love seeing the S14 back!!!

Wahoo! I’ve been waiting for these episodes!

"Pedal feel" sounded like something else for a second. Mix and match part BBK's are great as long as the recipe has been discovered by someone, like in this case, and the parts are readily available and affordable. There's so much "These calipers work but you'll need shims here, and these rotors from the X car work but you may need to machine out the Y" with some cars...it's hard to have it all.

Nice! now you have spare big brake kit for the Celica :D double win!

Looks SO GOOD!!!! Can't wait to see it wailing around the track again :)

How do these videos only have 45k views!? Love this stuff guys!

Love that brake kit! Stunning!

Best T-shirt ever ! Last dab “All dayyyyy” Schmidt voice

I've met Tom from Core4, super cool dude and his team's 240 is badass.

Now you need a nice kraftwerks setup to test those brake! would be nice to see a supercharged project!

Another great informative video guys 👍👍 looking for to the next one.

Absolutely loving it! Would recommend a caster bracket brace (like a Nismo Power Brace) as the stock caster brackets are pretty flimsy 👍 LOVE the videos ❤️

That’s an amazing BBK

hot damn those are some nice upgrades!

Great episode.

Man Pete. You got to give some love to your K-Frame pieces. Some reinforcement weld in pieces like the GK-Tech ones really work some magic.

Good work gents!

that shirt, THE LAST DAB, Awesome

Wow this brake kit is just making in value. Can’t believe for just 1k you can get this bolt on kit. Wish I didnt just spend my money on a turbo kit (well I dont but) so I could buy now, but I will certainly go with this in the future on my 14

Interesting engine swap choice, makes sense for grip.

those are some sweet looking brakes

Digging the LAST DAB shirt. 👌🏼

Sorry for the way late comment, but I love the First We Feast Hot Ones shirt! You guys should do an episode doing the Hot Ones challenge!

Love the "First We Feast" shirt!

Z1 motorsports also sells a 2 piece rear rotor for z drum brakes, awesome work on the car I'm dying to see this rip some laps

Hell yea, the kswap 240 :D

I have missed this car!

Please slap a Kraftwerks C38-92 on the K240. Two tips to add, make sure you use the factory VTEC solenoid gasket and Nichi clutch release bearing if you are running the S2K gearbox. Just two tips I got from watching LHT Performance working on several Kraftwerks kits on S2K's.

It’s hard for me to watch these videos because i had a 380whp S13 and I miss it so much. It breaks my heart to see sick 240’s like this. I will own another one someday. I hope I can buy one built by someone like you guys. Edit: ughh, I knew watching this was a bad idea, this car is now my favorite thing in the world. Well, second favorite to my daughter. But you know what I mean.

You can change the balance of the car significantly by fine tuning rear toe. More toe out in the rear will make the car more loose. More toe in will make the car push. of course big changes are more of a hardware issue. Keep up the awesome work guys. 👍

Im interested to see what you guys are gonna do for the engine mounts and getting the oiling fixed for certain!

In before the merc racing supercharger 🙌🏽

get a yellow (bronze/brass/idk) wheel for the bench grinder. so much easier than dremels

Brake content starts at 9:35 :)

You should do your own style of Nismo Front Tension Powerbrace.

S14a with those Rays is so beautiful! The brake bias should be really nice with the 4 pistons and the bigger discs at the rear. Top detail to retain the factory ebrake drum with the machined center. Is it even legal to drive a car without ebrake in CA?

With as much attention into going to the detail for this 240, I would think that the front/rear sway bars would be matching colors :)

Are those 18" wheels? Also, this would be a great car to do a 50/50 (before/after shot) buffing on. It would look so good with that red paint.

Nice!!

Nice Hot Ones shirt DP!

Would’ve loved to hear some detail on piston size and master cylinder to piston ratio with this new kit. Often times the hardest thing with these kits is getting proper pedal feel and brake bias. Not planning on an adjustable proportioning valve?

Hello Rob, Feel free to reach out to us at info@core4motorsports.com for more details if you're curious. We've been using these brakes on our endurance racing VQ swapped S14 with more than 4,000 laps of racing. Pedal feel and brake balance/bias is one of the Achilles heels of S-chassis braking and why we set out to make this kit for our own race car (using OEM style vacuum assist and master cylinder). The BMW cars we race against always had a distinct advantage in the braking zones so we grew tired of that and managed to close the gap significantly without totally breaking the bank.

Boost it!

that looks to be an ORB fitting wont need silicone if you have the oring on it like it is supposed to be

I’d use PTFE tape on the oil pan plugs instead

I would love to see this thing with a merc racing MR2300 air to air supercharger kit!!

I like how you think thats a rusty s14 haha. Personally that looks like a really clean one to me

Can you use an o-ring on those oil plugs in the sump, looks like there’s a grove to accept one?

Are you guys spice Lord's? There should be a car culture spicy wing eat off!!

Try putting a O-ring on the oil plug

If not a Turbo how about a Rotrex. That'll work really well with the K24's high revs and still 500bhp!!

that plug in the pan should have a O-ring on it i believe...

404 likes and zero dislikes is unheard of. You guys rock!

Finally!

Gasket maker on threads 😬😱 you guys should try loctite 577, you don't even have to clean the oil off. Seals every time no fus

Site doesn't mention if this BBK will fit a stock 95 S14. Do I need the Z33 rear swap or other modification to the current stock brakes? Waiting on a response from the owner as well. Thanks and great video!

I love brakes! You got a really nice setup! Just FYI, when I was researching BBK's for my Subaru GC8, I discovered that both Wilwood and Stoptech have rear kits that retain the full functionality of the e-brake! There are probably more out there (I know DBA make a hybrid 316mm rear disc for the Brembo calipers that works with the GC 170mm OE handbrake) but after I found what I was looking for, I stopped researching. Love your stuff guys! Brake porn for the win!

what! no S14 intro music? that is the model i hope to get one day. my mustang had the same issue with a moroso Olli pan and the sway bar contact. i corrected the issue, but not before it wore the weld off the corner and now has a small leak smh.

I'd be using a different brake pad if you're trying to keep those wheels looking nice. Hawk race pad dust destroys wheel finishes.

Message to Pete: All you're doing by spraying that "rust protection" on there is sealing the rust in to continue it's journey into becoming rot! You're far better off to use a die grinder with a wire wheel/brush attachment to take the surface down to fresh shiny steel and apply what's called "acid etch primer" and then undercoat it. That product you sprayed on there is meant to be sprayed on steel that isn't already oxidized. Plus because it is wax based, it will collect dirt and dust over time, which naturally holds on to moisture, which causes rust. Fluid film is basically a last ditch effort to protect steel, it's better to be sprayed inside of tight cavities like frame rails and tube structures to prevent oxidization. Just a friendly heads up for you as I'm currently in the process of restoring the underbody on my own S15 right now! Look after it properly to preserve your S14! ~Cheers!~

the oem sway bar looks brand new.

Is there a video following this with a brake kit review?

Finally😍

We need clearance Clarance!

What is the name of the rust inhibitor you sprayed on? I have a rust belt car that needs some love before its too late

are the rear frequencies significantly lower than the fronts ?

please give a little polish :D great vid tho

Do you have dimensional information for the Sentra brake booster? I'm trying to fit an EFR7064 to a CA18DET in my S14 and the turbine housing just barely hits the brake master. S14 Manual non-ABS brake boosters are impossible to find. I need to know how "thick" (distance from firewall to BMC mount) the Sentra booster is.

You guys have a problem with silicon. The ASS2000 (I think) had too much silicon and the s14 didnt have enough haha.

How does this oil pan compare to the TF works one released in their k swap kit?

When I had one of these, I had that 'pie in the sky' dream of putting in an S15 rear subframe. Can you guys cover the differences between the S14 vs S15 rear subframe? I think the S15 rear subframe fits. I wonder if it would help with grip.

s14 and s15 use the same subframe - absolutely no difference

Cant you guys just get the Evo and Scooby track battle done? You can still social distance in the cars etc. Plus I wanna see that Evo gap that scooby.

are you making in house oil pans foor the k series engine?

FULL CUSTOM

I'm smashing that m-fing like bucket so hard

What pads did you guys end up running on this setup? Have you found anything that's quiet?

The brake setup looks good but I wonder why he didn’t use the aero calipers that appears to be there newest “race” caliper

@Core4Motorsports

4 жыл бұрын

Hey Bigmikes, during the development phase, we looked into the Aero caliper and decided not to use it for a couple of reasons. 1st being that the pad shape is very new so there's very little pad compound options available for it. 2nd being that it's basically twice the price as their venerable forged superlite caliper and people would tend to shy away from it for that reason alone. We've had excellent success with their superlite caliper on our endurance racing S14.

Wonder what air pressures are being run.

I'm surprised you had such issues with that original brake set up. The S14 isn't heavy and the K24 isn't making much power to over heat a 13 inch two piece rotor.

@Core4Motorsports

That's actually a 14inch rotor. I recommended a 332mm/13inch rotor ring, but they insisted :)

Fucking love it. Hice from Dominican Republic

What damper settings are you guys using on the s14?

Is it better to have a more aggressive pad front or rear? I’m upgrading pads in a 4WD car. Unsure whether to match front and rear pads as I’m going an aggressive street pad in the front, or a slightly less aggressive, more general use pad on the rear. The car is street use only

hey guys, do you think these will fit inside of a 17" rim?

Does it come with a 5 lug conversion kit ?

For the yankees. 355ml rotor is 14.2 inches. I want this car so bad!! Any chance Speed Academy would build customer cars?! Pleeeeease🥺

if you consider selling the evo calipers, i'm intrested

You can get a pair of them from worldpac for $500. Pair them with alpha omega brackets and a evox 350mm rotor and you got a solid budget bbk. Thats what I run :)

Don’t kick the like bucket!

What size rims and types does the 240 have?

Big brake kit and affordable is being used within same sentence. Get real, DP :D

Why no dry sump?
