i am starting out with a good s4 na block. i am going to be build a high compression turbo engine tuned with a haltech e11. 720 primaries with 1600 secondaries. and finally a t60-1 turbo with a 1.00 hot side. i am currently working on porting on the manifolds and throttle body.
some tb port and polishing (not finished completely yet)
on this last picture on the left side pretty much straight down there was a bump out from casting. it is about a 1/4 inch out. looks like a coolant passage well i got courageous and wanted to see if i could grind it all the way down. well i was able to grind it all way down without puncturing through the passage. now lets just hope it holds up to the system pressure. i think it is just for the accelerated warm up which is deleted so i may just be able to block it off.

so i did a little more work on the upper mani today but realized that it is going to take a lot of time energy and effort to get that plenum polished and all the runners nice and polished. wondering if anyone here knows a good place to get the manifolds port and polished to save me some work. i found a couple places on line but i don't think they have ever messed with rotary engine stuff.

just to end confusion that chassis that is in the pics is the old one that i have recently gotten rid of. i was focusing everywhere with that chassis. so i got rid of it and am focusing on the engine. once the engine is done then i am going to buy a chassis and do the body work/suspension work. i have a friend that is gonna do my body work.
im in the process of getting a job so everything im a doing right now is when i can come across a great deal or sell some parts. hence the reason this is going to take me a long time and i wanted to get rid of the chassis. well i found a place that will port and polish the manifolds for me for a couple hundred so i think imma go that route. or i may at some point make my own intake manifolds.
oh i am also going to run fd dual oil coolers due to the fmic. figured i would move the oil cooler to the sides so i don't restrict that much airflow.

just got off the phone with Extrude Hone to polish my intake manifolds. its a lot of money but well worth it in the end. its gonna cost about 600 to do both manifolds.
http://www.extrudehone.com/ pretty cool process i think that will be a final step for me but i will be getting it done. can't have any short cuts on this build at all.
funny conversation i asked how much it cost and the lady on the phone in return said"okay how many cylinders do you have" my response"ummmm well none its a rotary" luckily they knew about them because the 600 includes both uim and lim.

just buy an assortment of dremel bits. they have these buffer wheels too the highest grit i saw was 320 which is what i used before polishing. it basically has a mirror finish before polishing. but you gotta buy a lot of those buffing wheels they wear out pretty fast.
kinda figured out a way of not really porting the runners of the intake but more so smoothing it out. i found a bottle hone that is meant for brake cylinders nice length should work. oh well i will find out.

im hoping it goes good to i have 1600cc injectors on the way now
just need to find some 720cc for my primaries i will definitely have enough fuel on this project.
well i painted my intake manifolds this weekend just black i was going to polish them but just decided i would do that on another set of intakes. that are also going to be extrude honed. will put up some pics of the manifolds tonight.
gotta get my parts washer from my brother to clean up my throttle body make it look pretty figure imma take my time on this build and just do everything i wanna do on it.
anybody have turbo parts pm let me know what you got and how much.

damn photo bucket is down and i can't upload any photos
well i got some fuel rails in today a long with some 1600cc injectors.
they are stock fuel rails thanks to japan2la so i am going to be modifing them to accept the 1600cc injectors on the secondary rail.
tried to paint my fuel rails with that metalcast anodized look paint but it was too cold out so it didn't take . so i have to re sand blast them and try again
or maybe i will just anodize them myself. anybody know what an fittings i need to attach to the fuel rails?
i also got bored and painted my intake manifolds with engine paint. just black kinda matches my engine. and kinda looks cool with the BOP not painted. with this car i am planing on having a few engines built and ready to go so when one blows it out and in. but thats not for a while. i would rather get one dialed in first.
anybody wanna donate parts to the build feel free i will pay shipping or pick up if your close
my teacher at delta college said he may have to start charging me to use the blaster haha im there like everyday.
