Still have the semi p-ports, and still have not used them yet. But dont worry, its going to have them work once its broken in, and I get some stock manifold numbers on the dyno. and hurry up and get that n/a of yours going! Then drive it to our shop for break-in, haha.

Interesting.. What kind of ECU are you planning to run.. I like the trigger set up! I see that you already have a dry sump kit and all.. Can't wait to see it!

Belts go kind of wide... Hmm.. Super charger?

Im certain that he is running the tec3r or tec3GT Phil. Which is an outstanding ECU. I am also sending you a PM

pretty slick! I like the new alternator location.. And that header is work of art!

GtoRx7

iTrader: (5)

Thanks! I am glad I built it over two years ago, one less thing that needed revision

The 20b is good, I'm digging the "Stacks" or whatever they are called.

....but that cage, looks terrible! Was it really that hard to cut into the dash and space the tubes closer the the pillars? Those HUGE plates with holes in em also dont do jack squat for reinforcement if they are not dimpled, the pics remind me of the issue of SCC where they compare real and knock off aftermarket parts. Seriously, get your money back on that one, its rubbish!

Damn that header gives me a hard-on. What kind of coils are those? Inductive? I'm a little clueless about that kind of stuff.

Not a problem. I finally purchased my Haltech. Thx Reted! I'm going to be building in stages myself. 1st is the stockish set-up so I can teach myself how to tune. I hope to fire the engine up by early next month. Then I will start engineering my custom intakes and going from there. My goal is to have the final stage upgrade complete by the end of the summer or sooner. I will say that my 1st LIM will be a long runner style so I can increase the bottom end. Stay tuned!

geboy

common logan your killing me here! more more more!

where did you mount your drysump tank?

more pics please!

any main reason you switched to a second gen water pump?

keep up the good work!

iTrader: (5)

Haha, more pics you say? Hmmm, dont worry there is plenty more

The drysump setup (writeup to follow)



lower tank



engine dropped in



The strut brace I made installed (friends call it a engine cage, haha)



Side shot



Beginning of the front splitter



Front end shot, note the thickness of the radiator. 5" for the win.



Racing gear suspension. Same as two years ago, but still the best coilovers I've ever owned.



Gauge cluster (tach/speedo not yet installed)



Switch panel, cluster, and finally got off my *** and made a plug for the airbag.



Upper custom drysump tank. Everything has been anodized black.

hot damn!

I won't pester you with questions about the dry sump until i het my own 20B, but rest assured, i will be asking a few questions when the time is right. i continue to be impressed with your car and you engine. can't wait to hear it ...

geboy

now thats what i'm talking about Logan! vary vary nice! how much oil does your drysump tank hold? are you using the bottom tank on the engine as another tank? 3 scavenge lines?
get that biotch done man! nice work!

GtoRx7

iTrader: (5)

Thanks! The upper tank holds 12 quarts, and the lower tank didnt work out, so its been recently bypassed. The three lines from the drysump front cover are the scavenge to the tank, the high pressure feed, and high pressure out. I am working on finishing up the ducting and front splitter this week. And then just drive it some more. Hope to have the acutal ITB intake on in less than two months.

Lookin sharp man. I'm sure you're busy, but when you have the time. . . I bet I'm not the only one interested in the dry sump write-up.

Keep it up.

BigAl...

Gto, I went through all of your 22 pages (great job on the build) I thought I saw you post 335rwhp, am I correct with that number? I know you haven't used your pports yet but I was wondering what intake manifold you used to make that power. If I quoted the wrong numbers please correct.

TIA
BigAl...

Trjackson

348 is the magical number you are requesting, and that was with side ports only(semi-pports were still "corked").

The goal is 400.
