The camera is a cheapy one form Wolf Camera. The Silver One is still in the rebuild stages, here's some photos to document the process:















That's walmart rustoleum metalic silver, a perfect match for the stock silver. I might rattle can the whole car, it looks so good.

 

 

looks good ray. as soon as there's a sunny day i can use the camera i got for christmas from my navy daughter. there's a couple threads i want to post in. it's gotta have a bath first tho.

 

Hmm, looking at all these engine bays has me thinking a bit... what is a good Engine Pant/enamel to use?

I've been looking at that Dupli-color High Heat stuff, but someone told me its crap...

Anyone have suggestions? I'd love to clean up my engine bay like this

 

Thank you! And yes, stock port

 

This is worth repeating:

 

Thank you Ray!

 

Looking Sweet, Ray... the ONLY way to get a clean bay: Empty it, and spray till you pass out.

 

as she sits today after droping in a stock port 12a with a s4 turbo

 

These were pics of my rebuild when it was still in the shop. It's back on the road now. I need to get more recent pics when it's back on the road in the spring.

 

 

Engine is so big they had to use a "push style" fan and mounted it in front of the radiator, oodles of torque but I wish it had the original rotary engine in it sometimes. Doing small bolt-on things to it and I have to admit the engine sounds good, it should put out about 220hp to the ground when finished.

Right now my focus is on some new wheels I am dead set on 16x7" Maxxim Screech's with a 15 offset, then the suspension will get a full revamping!!

After:

 

Yes! Now the rotary can go back in!

 

^^^lol. that ole 12a has been long gone. unless someone wants to donate a 20b

 

Better late then never . . .

I got the radiator off eBay -- it's a Northern made for V8 modifieds, I believe. I added some brackets and stuff to make it fit. In the end, it's a good way to go if you can do some minor fabrication and welding.

double post

 

i might aswell contribute after realizing that i never took any engine bay shots of it completed (well never complited but in its current driving way right now).

12a SP, Fuji Racing ITB's, SDJ headers, Re-Speed quick ratio steering kit, ... and the list goes on.

PS: Yes I know fram is crap its temperary ... i got it for a buck because the guy couldn't sell them lol. Just waiting for a bosch one to come in ... damn christmas holidays delaying everything lol ... I want my toys too.

 

My Autocross machine. During the build and complete

 

I need to clean it up a bit, but this is about how she looks now. Except the filter element is back on there.

 

12a tall port turbo, Garret t04 .6 front 1.00 rear, 2 inch IC piping, 4 injectors (2x s4 primaries, 2x s5 secondaries, you can see how they secondaries have been plumbed into the inlet manifold), 38mm external wastegate with screamer, cosmo BOV, 3 inch dump (to be made), 3 inch stainless exhaust with rockwool muffler and resonator, brass button clutch, Microtech fuel only computer, 12a turbo dizzy etc etc.

Nearly ready to go!

 

word. i use a griffin for a vw scirocco , i prefer it were a bit longer but thats what happens when you buy in a rush, it keeps the temp low so i guess i can't complain LOL

 

Here's mine.

 

that looks fun. i want BOOST!!

 

If you don't mind black the Dupli-Color truck bed liner makes a great coating for the engine bay. It's also brake fluid proof in case you spill some. Rust must be treated first. Remove the loose, flaking rust, then treat with something like POR-15. Nice thing about the truck bed liner, it leaves a fine texture, easy to hose off, resistant to most everything and dry in less than 1/2 hour, ready for reinstalling parts. I suggested this to Dan S Young for his widebody and he was quite pleased with it.

After I stripped the bottom of the widebody and shot it with an epoxy primer/sealer, I sprayed all of it with the truck bed liner, including the wheel wells and front frame horns. Refurbished fuel tank got the same treatment. This also works as a textured chip/rock guard that comes stock on our rocker panels. It will not work when sprayed over the OEM undercoating or dealer added rust proofing. This stuff is so tough, I've concidered doing an entire body with it in lieu of paint. Body would never have another rock chip and it would reduce the damage from door dings. It would also never need compounding, waxing or any of that other tedious detail work. Just take it to the car wash and blast away. If one really wanted a shine, shoot it with a polyurethane clear coat but be prepared in case the clear begins to peel.
