This is what im starting off with. I decided why wait till I get the motor to start building when i can do everything else with time and patience instead of rushing it once the motor comes through. This is my Build Diary. Also decided to buy a camera to document the build since cell phone pics dont do justice.

The Car 86 Sport RX-7






Interior




Rust spot not perforated just surface


Rust spot on door is a little deeper.


Im going to start off bye throwing the cables for the battery and doing all the relays for the ignition, fuel pump, E-fan, and wiring the coils. Basically do all of the electrical work that needs to be done minus the actual engine related stuff like injectors and CAS. Any Ideas or suggestions during the build will be greatly appreciated.

May The Force Be With Me ! ! !

 

Some Various Parts I already Have.
Greddy FMIC


FD Alternator and Centerforce Dual Friction Clucth


TII Front Cover, Stainless Steel Oil Lined, Greddy BOV, Greddy Piping,


S5 TII Tranny


AEM Dry Flow Filter


And probably for sale TII Downpipe and presilencer and a S5 TII Turbo

 

What do you guys recommend to coat the floor? There is some areas the factory sound deadening is chipped up and i want to coat it with something to prevent rust that i could just coat the whole floor with.

 

nice little setup there in that glove box..... might try rhino lining for the floor?

 

yeah- I am totally ripping off that idea for my lt8- that little fan is trick

 

that is only a little chip of the iceberg that is my creativity the fan is obviously to help cool the LT-10s I also am going to open up a couple holes on the inside panel to promote air flow. You guys sit back and enjoy the marvel that is my wiring.

 

For the rust, use POR-15. Then overcoat with a truck bed liner or use Dynamat (or whatever other sound deadening you can get locally).

You should modify that water pipe into a coolant recovery bottle. That would be cool.

 

I just realized the water pipe LOL im going to read up on that por 15 stuff and alot of people are recommending rhino lining i guess that is what i will use.

 

what u runnin in that eclipse behind it? :-P i love ur glovebox setup

 

The eclipse is my stock daily driver it has the super slow 1.8 motor LOL but i get close to 30 MPG

And every one seems to like the glove box setup.

 

Yeah that glovebox setup is pretty sweet! Look forward to following the rebuild man stuff like this is what keeps me on the site!!

 

New power cables for battery relocation. They are 1/0

 

good luck with your build.

 

thanks man any one who would like to comment and shoot up ideas they are more than welcome.

 

who is doing the motor?

 

BDC is going to do the porting and Lopez racing in miami is going to build it im going to be using a 13B-re. I had already bought one june last year but had to send it back because the motor came full of water I lost $160 in shipping but at least i got the $1600 back from the motor purchase. Im going to source a motor from "japan2la" he says his motors are compression checked to be at least 100 psi on each rotor so... hope i source a good motor this time.

 

glwb

 

I second the idea of the coolant recovery bottle. This should be a good build to watch, I'm interested to see how you do all your wiring for the car.

What turbo do you plan on using and what do you plan to do with the car once it's built. Good luck to you.

 

The Car is going to be a Sick Street Car for the most part. Not a daily driver but definitely a car i can drive around once in a while and take it to the strip. I am more than definitely going to go with a GT-40 or maybe a T04Z not sure on which but leaning to the GT-4088R. if i can get 400 whp on pump with the W/I kit im going to be happy. im going to be doing a half bridge set up on the 13b-re i have been told it wont be necessary to do a half bridge for 400 WHP but i want to be able to make higher numbers at higher boost later on.

 

400 hp on a HBP will be no problem. can't wait to see all the work come together.

 

am i the first one to notice the bong next to the Greddy intercooler? good luck with the rust >_<

 

no, everyone else above us commented on it. they just referred to it as a water pipe.

 

yeah i noticed that after posting, this is awkward because i don't even do that and i'm the one being stupid >_>

 

is that a marajuana smoking device i c behind that intercooler if so "NICE"

 

The wiring begins! ! ! Mounted remote battery posts ran primary wires which i think im going to change location since i dont like the red wire running along the back of the engine bay. And wired in the main fuse box.





The Battery temporarily in its spot.


And GOD Said Let There Be Light ! ! !


So far so good ! ! !
