I figured i should share how my project is going with the rest of the class

Are you using the stock NA hood ? Did you have to cut it ? What kind of engine mounts did you use ? Did you have to make custom oil pan or new sub-frame or move the steering rack ?

Looks great. Similar to my car (color and wheels) except for the 20B. I only have the smaller version of the cosmo engine.

wastegate screamer shooting out the top of your hood? hehe

Which EFI system are you planning to use?

I'm currently playing around with the VEMS ECU. Hopefully i wont have to many issues getting it up and running with it.

A little update

Getting the wastegate mocked up

-10 to dual -8's. I know its a little extreme for my current goals, but it will give me a lot of room to grow.

New fittings waiting to be welded onto the fuel rail

Who built your manifold? I need one for the FC!

are you gonna keep the gate open? or put it back into the exhaust? if you put it into the exhaust, i hate you. looks good so far though, the manifold is very sexy.

no, it will be atmosphere dump

loving this project gaining loads of information
keep it coming

YES!!!!!!!!! open gate is the way to go. subtle when it needs to be, and obnoxious when you want it to be.

looking pretty damn good.

how much did the engine set you back?

Looks great, congrats!

It looks great, keep us posted.

dude your project is like deja-vu to me.
same wastegate, same style exhaust, same radiator, same coil setup, same intercooler, same fuel rails, etc etc.

that said, looks pretty sweet man! when do you expect to have it up and running? specs on the turbo?

Brendan, that's looking quite pretty! Can't wait to take a ride in the finished product around christmas! I BETTER anyway. lol
