In this episode of Adam LZ, the man himself dives headfirst into the world of automotive mischief with the acquisition of a Honda swapped S13 for a mere $6,000. However, the deal isn't all sunshine and rainbows as the car shows signs of missing cylinders and low compression, hinting at potential engine woes. With a buddy named Mike Bird in tow, they embark on a journey to Odessa to pick up this intriguing yet flawed automotive gem.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that this S13 harbors a K20 A2 engine boasting a promising 200 horsepower output, complete with ITBs and a mysterious ZF transmission. The car's history, previously owned by a certain Ben, reveals a TF Works build that sets the stage for tuning experimentation on a link platform. Adam's troubleshooting skills come to the forefront as he delves into the complexities of VTEC and ITBs, seeking advice from a well-versed contact named Jamie.
As the saga unfolds, Adam faces the challenge of unraveling wiring issues and potential solutions involving R35 coils to revive the dormant cylinders. Amidst the mechanical conundrum, he takes a moment to highlight the importance of safety with lzmfg harnesses and drift hq.com merchandise, adding a touch of practicality to the adrenaline-fueled automotive escapade. With temporary fixes in mind and a relentless pursuit of perfection, Adam's journey with the Honda swapped S13 promises thrills, spills, and a dash of Clarkson-esque flair in the world of automotive tinkering.
