Well its now time for my project thread (yes ive been waiting for a long time), and now im proud to actaully motivate myself to get it up and running. I planned everything and still am searching for the best possible methods of a very reliable track car. so the car will be my 88 10thAE,







yeah i got the car as is, from a friend, former rx7owner,known as rotarydelight on the forum, it came with a the 13bre engine, a custom fmic, a haltech e6x, and all the interior on the car, plus additional parts the owner didnt need...i got the car for no more than $2500.
He said all it needed was a tune, but i talked to the last shop that worked on it and they said it had low compression, 75 front 70 rear, i became sketical, and did my research...which led to this build....

so my plans are to rebuild it and do a large streetport, convert to a single turbo (i dont know which one i will be running yet), ill be running 850cc primaries, 1680cc secondaries,etc.

so today in the morning I fininshed pulling the engnine out, and took a couple pics of it...







and now i have a dirty empty engine bay..


so im taking the engine to lucky 7 where they will work on it...so far im through with today, it will be a slow build but i will get there..surely but slowly...

 

sweet. What class will you be in? Hope you can still be competitive if they bump you up a class due to the engine swap.

 

im still looking in to that,but i wouldnt know why they would bump me up a class its still a 2 rotor engine, yeah im plan to make 500 to the wheels...

 

so i dropped the motor off at lucky 7 today, so i will have more pics of the build by tommorow...

 

so fris has sent me pics of the teardown....











as much as he told me, everything seems to be ok, just that the e-shaft has little wear, but overall it seems good, visually. next is to clean parts and inspect them, once he finishes, the rotors get new bearings and we can start the porting.

 

So basically your motor is clean with the exception of the E-Shaft? Awesome. What's the time frame on the build?

 

^ I got the car as of late january, but i did some stuff like gutting the interior, and such, but as of tuesday i have started to fully go into the build, starting with the engine. i dont think ill be completely done with the car in the next 2 years...if not sooner....

 

stock exhaust port, these are so huge...god at least 3 fingers could fit.....


ehh clean ports but still need to be smoothed out...


now they are smooth ports...


stock intermediate ports


how much will be ported, it will be a large streetport...



this is as much it is right now until we can get the rest of the parts....i still have tons to do...but im busy through out the week, but monday and tuesday ill get to most of the stuff....

 

Looks good so far... I wish I had the ability and cash to RE swap.

 

yeAH cash is a must as well as finding good parts...

 

even with nany rotary, big bucks

 

looking good alex looking real good

 

more pics of the ports being ported....

i finsied the second part today...


the othere side..


well theres more to come since i got a word on the progress of the motor bieng built...so more pics on the way...

it came out better then expected....

 

Just curious - but what class do you plan on running in and with which sanction?

The motor looks pretty good, make sure to run a bevel on those ports so your side seals don't give way too quickly! And mask off on those yellow fenders next time you paint black, lol - i see a little overspray....

 

Not bad. Looks like progress is going good for you. I'm glad to see it's coming along well. good luck on the build.

 

good to think about, i did nt really care about the yellow fenders the car will be painted anyhow...again yellow but im not sure....it hasa reputation bieng yellow....lol.... as for sanction..i hear good word about nasa, and everyone i talk to always recommended me to with them, as for class im still searching...

 

thanks i just checked yours...awesome, ill join you in a crazy colored rx7 fest...lol..
