turbo specs?
|
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?

A little update
Getting the wastegate mocked up http://myweb.cableone.net/mjbless/project/37.jpg Getting the downpipe tack welded http://myweb.cableone.net/mjbless/project/38.jpg http://myweb.cableone.net/mjbless/project/39.jpg http://myweb.cableone.net/mjbless/project/49.jpg http://myweb.cableone.net/mjbless/project/41.jpg -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. http://myweb.cableone.net/mjbless/project/42.jpg New fittings waiting to be welded onto the fuel rail http://myweb.cableone.net/mjbless/project/44.jpg |
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 |

looking pretty damn good.
|

|
Just got the exhaust finished on it. 4" split into dual 3"

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? |

Haha, i had no idea our projects were that much alike. Great minds think alike. I expect to have it in one solid mechanical peice here in about 2 weeks. Then its up to wiring. I WILL have this done for Sevenstock X. |
Brendan, that's looking quite pretty! Can't wait to take a ride in the finished product around christmas! I BETTER anyway. lol
|
looks like a little custom work on the swaybar??? how is it working out for you?

I've been working pretty hard on my fuel setup for the last week. Heres the pump that will be going into the stock fuel tank.
http://myweb.cableone.net/mjbless/project/pump1.jpg http://myweb.cableone.net/mjbless/project/pump2.jpg I'll try to get pictures with it in the tank tomorrow. All i have left is getting the bracket made for the coils/fuel filter, the fuel rails and it will be just down to wiring. |
Looks great so far. Make sure to take your time doing the wiring. Mine is all messy and annoys me.
|
Thats one thing that i like to take my sweet time on. I'm pretty anal when it comes to pretty wiring.
|
Getting so close all i'm missing right now is
1 180* fuel line fitting 1 Working ECU (still trying to work out bugs with mine) I took my ford injectors to an injector shop and 5 dollars later I have some nice drop in injectors http://myweb.cableone.net/mjbless/project/injectors.jpg Underside all buttoned up: http://myweb.cableone.net/mjbless/project/underback.jpg Engine bay: http://myweb.cableone.net/mjbless/project/engine1.jpg http://myweb.cableone.net/mjbless/project/engine2.jpg |
lookin good
|
Looks good!
ur gona want to duct that IC.. i run that same IC mounted the same way on my cosmo re with a koyo rad and everything gets hot... ducting is a must |
Interesting fuel lines you got there! What are they?
|
It's all push loc hose. Jegs sells the hose. Its all NHRA approved and if you have a local hydraulics shop you can likely find the fittings at a fraction of the price of the anodized ones.

^ Thats a huge plus. Also you can complete a connection in about 5 seconds. Easy as pie
|
I used the Aeroquip socketless hose - warning, this stuff is close to impossible to assemble in the -8 size. I have bruised palms to prove it!
|
It Runs! errrr ran
Just a note i but the Jegs push loc hose. I mixed the hoses up when i was purchasing. I meant to buy the Russel twist lok hose. So now I have to replace all my fuel line. Wooo 100 bucks down the drain. |

No, It was funny i primed the fuel system a few days previous. I read your PM and then an hour later I primed it again and there were fuel leaks. I must have misread when i originally bought the line. I should have bought the russel stuff to begin with.
|
It lives once more!:
I'm still having problems with my injector staging so i haven't really gotten into boost yet. I had to stop filming during the drive because there were 2 sheriffs on the side of the road ahead. http://www.youtube.com/v/5xKREvioJu8 |
Congrats! Sounds awesome!
|
Yea...purrs like a kitten.
|
|
Some pictures. There's still some cleaning up to do in the engine back but heres the basic jist of it:

update?
|
Damn I knew I shouldnt have looked in here. Now I have 20b fever again.
|
BCool very nice build, hope you have sorted out the tuning by now. Haven't seen anyone running VEMS on a rotary, will be nice to hear your experiences with it.

I like it. It's a very open system with pretty much endless options on what you can do and what you can run. To my knowledge theres only 2 of us rotary guys running the system at the moment. The weather hasn't been all that great here so i haven't really been out driving the car much so tuning hasnt really gotten any further. |
looks awsome
