un-*******-believable! one of the more thoughtful combos i've seen. i like it.

my only point of concern is the inversion of the oil coolers to have the fittings on the bottom ... just ****, i guess. however, i really like your setup thus far.

keep the pics coming.

 

here are a few fuel pics

 

This is driving me insane!

Where did you get your radiator and intercooler??

 

sorry.they are from cool charge, bought from RX-7specialties

 

holy **** that thing is tight damn I can't wait to see what numbers it pulls from it's rear end

 

Some pics of the new Exedy D-Core

 

engine bay

 

crank trigger and the cas?

 

Car is finally running, idle is at 1000rpm with a 12.0 A/F and good oil and water temp.

Will have it off the trailer and on the road tommorow.

Gives three weeks to make sure its ready for the drive to Seven Stock.

 

the build looks great. good luck and hope all goes well.

 

Thanks, the only problem I have noticed is a loud ticking sound from the turbo. Think it might be an exhaust leak from either the manifold or the DP.

The turbo was just re-build and there is no shaft play.

 

be careful that the radiator isn't vibrating and touching the intercooler pipes. good way to crack the rad. ask me how i know....

 

yeah I need more clearance on the driver side, it is touching right now.

Thanks for the advise, I'll deal with that today.

 

Took it for the first teat drive today.

Drove around the city for 20km, then hit the highway for another 130km. It ran great under 3000rpm, but I dont have the secondaries staged properly, so it just fell on its face because was so rich.

Got pulled over at night because my running lights were not working, the officer also
said I needed some exhaust work, its a little loud!!

Cant wait to get it tuned better and really start to open it up.


Will post some more pics once the headlight kit is done

 

i'm curious what your coolant temps are like with that setup after some good running time at power. hoping that i'll be where you're at pretty soon.

again, awesome build.

 

also, what are the dimensions of those oil coolers?

overall dimensions and core dimensions would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

coolers are 11.5 inchs wide, 10.5 inchs tall and 2 inchs thich

Hope this helps

I just ordered up a couple EAR-43410ERL from summitracing yesterday.

overall, it's 10.5" tall and 13" wide which translates to a 10.5"x9" core size.

i'm thinking we will most likely not encounter any oil temp problems. thanks for the reply.

any word on your coolant temps yet?

thanks man
good luck
ryan

 

I'm so envious right now!

 

Coolant temps were between 86c and 92c.

 

is that an earls fuel filter in the one picture? how do you like that and what screen size did you go with im looking into it.

 

yes it is an earls fuel filter, not sure of the screen size. The screen came with the filter.

The filter is great, located it in an easy to access location.

 

Damn, how much did this project cost you?

 

Nice work my friend. Now let's see a picture of her put back together.

 

I think this is the guy who hit a deer on his way out to sevenstock
