Just thought I'd post a little on my vert project here

Bought as an import from japan with terribly faded paint, but had a rebuilt engine so buying it was a no brainer. *Speaking from an aussie viewpoint here guy's*

A few current WIP engine bay pic's

Yere I know a few people will call me Stupid for mounting the IC in the stock location. It's to freakin' thick to front mount, without ripping of the AC and moving the radiator further back in the bay. Aussie summer is coming up and AC ain't going to be removed anytime soon. I will go vmount later on though. Beside with water injection and some thermo-tec heatshielding on the IC and the fact I don't drive in traffic very often should help reduce the heat soak abit.

Once the exhaust is install and she's running then it's onto the braking and suspension. Maybe oneday she'll get a new lick of paint.

 

Abit of an update. Have now switched to a front mount IC, buddy club racing coilovers have been fitted and am currently fitting my Amemiya FC2000 front bumper. Custom intake manifold is still on the build, awaiting FD throttle body.

A couple of wip pic's..



That's marine exhaust pipe hosing used to join the pipes there, able to shape it and holds up to boost pressure very nicely =)

 

That will be a good looking car and a FAST one!

Good luck!

 

Thanks Vegard

Well it's up and running now =) Should see how fast the compressor rotates at idle.
Even though it's go much longer ic piping now boost still seems to be building around 2000rpm. Will now better when I get a commander to play around with the Fuel setting in the power fc, till then granny driving and hunting for any gremlins that might appear..

More pic's soon if anyone is interested...

 

fo sho put pics

 

wow that is an insane looking car! i am excited to see where you go with it.. congrats

 

take that ugly front bumper off. the stock one with the lip looks sooooo good. soo much better IMO. just a thought.

 

I was about to comment on the goofy intercooler having three pipes...Then I scrolled down and saw why. If the wheels are 16", then they are Infini IV wheels. Unless damn Cabriolets came with 16" mesh wheels too, which I doubt.

I rather like the intercooler in the stock position. It looks DAMN goofy being as small as it is and in the front. It would have to be way bigger to look right with an Amemiya bumper.
