This is how it's done ha.. nice & informative.
Been saving up?

Hey, is the TB ok like that with the tiny scratches? (porting marks)
Im assuming smooth polished is better..

 

thizz shitz iz hawt


it will be a very fast vroom vroom automobile

nice car, im bored

 

the swirl marks are fine, they are nothing to major. but of course plished would be better.

 

fantastic pile of metal!!!!!!!!!!!
why did you go with a centerforce though>>??? just curious...
i have the same exact clutch and was told its potential is only 300 WHP...and by the looks of it your gonna have quite a bit more than that
oh...and mine is N/A
what is the TII centerforce dual friction clutch rated at?????

 

I believe you mean zoom zoom.

 

It's not... Same with engine ports... A slightly rough surface is better...

 

you will like the turbo..it starts to get very loud around 1bar.

 

no doubt....I should be able to hear it from Canada...

 

centerforce rated it above 500hp

but i have an xtd clutch kit sitting in the room also, which is rated at 450rwhp.... so if i blow her up, ill just swap clutches

 

Annoying thumbnails be gone:

 

are you sure that walbro will be able to hold up? Ive heard* from reliable sources that its good for about 400 hp, anymore than that and you'll be looking to upgrade. Unless its part fo a twin system i dont know about.



Did that black magic fan come with any brackets?

 

hhhmmmm.... dont really know about the pump... i was actually thinking of going w/ a twin walboro setup..... but we'll see.... and yes, the black magic fan came w/ all necessary brackets, i just didnt pull it all out of the box


thanx vaughnc for the photo chop!

 

Dude go three rotor! Extend that budget a bit more!!

 

nice looking stuff, are the clone hks bovs the ebay knock offs, cuz if so they sound horrible. my friend got tricked and thought they were real, but it didn't sound a thing like the real deal. The real hks roxor!

 

ok.... minor update.......

i got the samco radiator hoses in the mail, and my machined CAS cover...... ill post pics up tonight or tomarrow

also, i got a cusco lower tie bar, pics will be up soon

 

Looks like it is gonna be fun Vipers!

 

you suck jesse

 

lol.... yeah yeah yeah....... yours is coming along quite nicely too! remember, ive had mine for over 4 years now! its due for this overhaul

 

bro..i bought them too...2 days ago wtf ...hey Jesse do you have a spy checking my work

 

ok I'm going to tell you everything to get rid of from experiance! the centerforce dual friction was slipping on me at around 300rwhp and the xtd six puck sprung setup is slipping on me now at around 350 or so rwhp so neither of those are going to hold very well for your setup. here is something else to ponder on for a while. The RA seals are inferior to the mazda oem seals hands down. Yeah it's a great budget seal but is that what you really want in this setup? If I could take it all back I would have bit the bullet and got the oem seals. I went to Gotham Racing not to long ago and steve was showing me all these housings with strange wear that ruined them do to atkins and ra seals. Oem has more research and development in there seals period.

 

One thing is for sure, that is going to be a real bad boy Mo Fo ! Great color for a high perfomance REX ... Good Luck

 

i understand where your coming from, but my engine builder has had nothing but good luck w/ ra seals.... hes running them on his fd, and is what he puts in all his customers cars (unless they request different) his fd is pushing over 500rwhp... and his fc was well over 400rwhp.....

same goes for the clutch... he ran the xtd on his 400+fc w/ no problems, now the centerforce is something i took upon myself after doing research.... my engine builder is kinda on your side, but i got one hell of a deal, and ill put it in first, and when it goes out, ill put the xtd in

 

Ive heard mixed testimony about the RA seals but anyone I speak with about them who has actually used them in their airplane has nothing but praise...however keep in mind the most power Ive ever seen from a wankel in a plane with RA seals was 240bhp on a stock turbo...

 

As stated before the apex seals are great, but I've read and heard that the spings will flatten out - not good. I used the RA apex seals and springs for my rebuild last summer. I hope I don't run into any trouble

 

no comment on the springs, I only ever asked about the seals themselves
