FD3S UIM adapter
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hey i know that for while that some people were looking for the UIM adapter for these cars. I happened to have one from my old car that i was thinking of having a shop duplicate. Does anyone still make these things.:nod: Any information you guys have would help.

ah..Nah..
you should toss that out in the trash..
By the way when is Garbage day around your house?..(mwuhahhahahhaaa!!!!!!)

Seriously these things should be made in bulk because lately the threads about them are like flies on poop!
Make it..they will hummmm!

AaronJ 04-14-16 12:40 AM

I will start an 8nterest thread to see if people want in on them

barkz 04-14-16 04:48 AM

They will. Just start making them now lol

That's my thread, SPENG has dropped off the face of the earth. Darin put on a good face for a while and some of us got our stuff (with some prodding), but at the end of the day some things never change.

There's another guy on this forum who claims to be making one, but gets bent out of shape when people remind him that several brands sold this product for half of what he's proposing to charge, so I doubt he'll make it off the ground with that attitude. There's certainly a small market for this.

misterstyx69 04-14-16 11:25 AM

hmm..solution..
Hole saw..Jig Saw...drill..and Daniel with a 12 pack..:lol:

AaronJ 04-14-16 03:41 PM

I can definitely have them duplicated with but I would STRONGLY advise to not use an orange setup. The chances of an oring falling down into the intake runners is just too high. I'm thinking about starting up an interest thread. I'm willing to pay for a batch on my own I just want to make sure people want them. I don't think they will be as cheap in a smaller batch.

FührerTüner 04-14-16 03:42 PM

I thought i read a thread that said the HP gain is minimal, like 2 hp or something...

The middle run which is red is my new engine with FD rotorsand the FC UIM with a large street port (huge) same turbo but with a 1.15 exhaust housing both T4 flange.

The black run is with the FD UIM on the new engine.

The old run may have been a slightly higher boost but the two new engine runs are a touch under 1 bar, about 13.5 - 14 psi.

I now need to try and figure out why both engines hit 350 bhp and stop, although the new engine makes it a lot earlier. The graphs are very similar considering the porting is much different and the turbine housing is different and the rotors are different. (its actually a completely different block)

I have plenty fueling, only hitting 74% duty cycle.

The only thing that is the same is the intercooler whic the tuner thinks maybe restrictive.

What do you think?



BHP and torque, both rear wheel figures.

Yeah but fd UIM looks way better... that's one reason I'm sure some people do it.

I actually like the o ring idea . It cancels out the differences in bolt patterns and gasket sealing differences. I'm sure some people are running factory gaskets thinner than they should. It would suck if an o ring went into the engine. I guess you would have to be extra careful on instalation

AaronJ 04-14-16 10:53 PM

So before i order a batch I want to see who all is actually interested in maybe getting one? I cant discuss pricing or anything like that but if you thin you want and could afford one based off previous market values then let me know.

I thought about that a lot actually and i do agree for convenience and cost purposes it is a great idea but there is no way to retain the bottom orings when placing the adapter onto the LIM. However this it would be a great idea for attaching the UIM to the adapter because the o-rings will be able to rest within the groves of the adapter.

The second thing that concerns me is that high quality o-rings are not "readily" available to most people depending on location however i have not done enough research to know if orings at places like oreillys and auto zone would be up to the task.

misterstyx69 04-14-16 11:03 PM

The old RisingRPM setup used eccentric bolts which basically moved to allow you to slap the pieces together since the bolt patterns were slightly different.
This setup allowed you to use the FD on top and the FC Gasket on the bottom.
Since the holes on the bottom of the spacer were slightly larger to accommodate the eccentric bolt it allowed the correct bolt spacing of the lower manifold and then it transitioned to the FD up top.

There is another 2 tier adapter that allows the parts to be slapped together as the flanges at the top and bottom are made to fit each different manifold.

I honestly liked the RisingRPM spacer..(before it went extinct).I should have kept mine.

I wouldn't like the O-Ring idea..it just making a simple part more complicated to manufacture.

GrossPolluter 04-14-16 11:03 PM

is this like the rising rpm one? where is that circle with offset studs?
for s5 lim to s6 uim, right? thickness?

AaronJ 04-14-16 11:11 PM

I believe the difference between the is somewhere around .030 in. To lower cost i would just provide each adapter with bolts for the s4 and s5 LIM. It would cost a little more but make things super easy for me and the machine guy.

This design is very similar to the rising rpm one utilizing the offset bolts.

KYPREO 04-15-16 01:05 AM

Those dyno charts demonstrate exactly what Mazda set out to achieve with the FD intake manifold - increased mid-range rpm torque through the dynamic effect pressure waves. This is documented in a SAE paper I read years ago.

RaceCast here in Melbourne, Australia has designed and made a 13B-REW LIM to s4/5 block adapter. As part of the adapter, it shapes the steep FD LIM runners to run more horizontally into the block, thereby solving the limitations of the standard FD setup.

Check it out: Series 6 13B intake adapter plate

This in combination with an Xcessive LIM and you have the best of both worlds.

misterstyx69 04-15-16 06:32 AM

hey it's only 385 bucks!

adapters..for Everyone..(Wut???)

That's a nice piece to know about, thank you for sharing.

The only issue I see with that is how that affects clearance with most turbo manifolds, not always enough room to accommodate that step.

AUD385 includes 10%GST which doesn't apply to exports. It would be under USD300 shipped i think.

The other UIM adapter is made by Reaction Racing in Japan. Very nice quality unit with perfect match porting but this will cost you even more.

I'm not convinced turbo clearance will be an issue as the extra thickness of the adapter is partly made up by the fact the FD LIM is steeper doesn't stick out from the engine as far. We'll see when i fit mine.

AaronJ 04-15-16 10:49 AM

Another thing you have to factor in the cost of UIM and LIM. An xcessive lim alone is 535 plus the adapter 300plus UIM and throttle body 350. It becomes a 1200 dollar mod quickly.

FührerTüner 04-15-16 10:50 AM

Might as well buy a rew

AaronJ 04-16-16 08:29 PM

So it seems like this is dying off so I'm assuming that no one wants these

GrossPolluter 04-17-16 02:21 PM

I think it's more of a cost thing. FC people don't have a much as fd people. I made a part for fcs, roll center correction, most people don't want to spend the money in it, even though you spent a good amount of time, design, knowledge into it. I hate to say it, but it's a dieing market. Over everything I just said, you need to be a 13bt owner with stand or ability to switch to a potentiometer, throttle elbow, cable, modified intake tube, ect ect. I would love a 13b rew uim, efr turbo for that added response, but owning a financial crisis just makes you want a financial disaster when you can afford it. Most budget guys are going to want that journal bearing high hp dyno queen over a better handling car with awesome response.

At least a lot of rotary people are into engines. Just make a small batch and see how it goes. My next fc part will just be for myself and close friends. It's not worth the time to sell to normal street drivers imo. Not worth it to buy it if your a street driver.

Didn't you only ask about this a couple days ago..now you're gonna toss in the towel?

Here..let's BUMP this..so you can get some steam!

(if not I can toss it to a "guy I know" and he may be interested in producing them.)

I see where you're coming from but not everyone with an FC is on a budget or waiting until they can afford an FD, and I for one would like to see more parts available for all rotaries not deter anyone from trying to make a part which may improve the market? With that said do you have any pictures of your "role center correction kit?" And some pricing info, I may be interested

I purchased an REW upper with TB, iacv, and tps just before RisingRPM went out of business. Now I have a paper weight laying around, an adapter like his would be great to have available again.

put your name on the list man and ill get you one.

Hybrid G 04-18-16 10:18 PM

I am on board , I will put my name on a list


What's your price point

AaronJ 04-18-16 10:38 PM

Per forum rules I can't discuss price but it's safe to assume it will be close to the original price ranges 150ish maybe a little more

Thanks for observing that point Aaron.

Guys can PM you and discuss Details.
It may be a little tedious But honestly if you are only making a small quantity it will offset the costs of a vendor account..although a Vendor account gets you your own Section and you can advertise within the Forum rather freely.

(I may be a MOD but I am also a Member and Cheap ass FC owner..haha!)

AaronJ 04-19-16 02:33 PM

Haha I got you guys lol. I placed an order to have 15 made. Paid out of my own pocket so hopefully you guys need them.

I do have solid works but since I had one to duplicate it was much easier to pay them to scan it. So I do not "own" the cad file. I could pay for it but naaaaa.

FührerTüner 04-22-16 02:39 PM

Honestly if you send it to me i can scan it and give you a polygonal model.... then we both win!

jreynish 04-26-16 08:10 PM

Please answer the following Questions;

1) Are you using offset bolts similar to those Risign RPM used?
You discussed it and said it would be similar. The end goal for most people is to NOT have to modify the UIM to match the bolt pattern. (I know it is grinding a little bit and ovalling the whole but alot of people are opposed to this)

2) Are the runners going to be port matched to the S5 Lower Intake manifold and the S6- FD upper intake manifold? they have a slight taper.

3) Are you planning to offer it in a finish or just bare metal?
I would suggest bare metal to keep costs down, if people want to annodize them, or paint them... have at it... but lets be honest the UIM is Cast AL, and so is the LIM... leave it bare metal.

If the answer to all three of the above I am definitely in I would pay as much as say 200 US (more than this I can manufacture them myself for a days labour about the same equivalent to $200 US)

I can live without port matching and simply match them myself, once again if the price is right.

AaronJ 04-26-16 11:47 PM

The adapter will come with adapter bolts for both s4 and s5 uims

they will port matched and taperd

They will be hard anodized in clear or black to help protect the aluminum. The cost is difference negligible in large orders. I paid for 15 to be made.

Price point should be coming in a at a little lower than what your thinking.

As of right now we are looking at a 2-3 week ETA. This is a SOFT ETA as I am not sure how long anodize will take

Anyone 75% sure they want one please feel free to offer you opinion on colors. The whole batch will be one color. I was thinking clear or black would be the easiest.
