so finally after owning 7 FC's, i felt like it was time to move up.

im picking up an FD rolling chasis in 2 weeks(making space at home, etc). my freind is selling it to me, giving me cool deal on it.

i basically plan to Track the car.

heres the specs on the FD chasis.

its a 93, Base model?, has around 100k miles on the chasis, no sunroof, black cloth interior, has full drive train, clean title, no dents or dings.

its only missing the motor. and a few other things..

Basically i plan on swapping in my 13B-RE with t70 turbo vmount set up.

I was planning on swapping my 13B-RE into my 90GTUs, but i couldnt resist getting the FD. Everything i have all Came out of an FD(the 13bre, pfc, exhaust, manifold).

so i felt it right to swap it all back into an FD.

specs on the RE.

the Irons are in the process of being resurfaced, large streetport, solid corner seals, OEM apex seals, swapped out and ported the sleeves on housings, throttle body mod.

Im just waiting to buy an FD oil pan, stock OEM motor mounts and bracket, front cover, and what ever else is needed to swap in the RE into the FD chasis.

Other things i have for the Swap.

T70 masterpower turbo(a/r .70, hot side .96)(oil cooled), RE-Amemiya Turbo manifold, Power Fc with commander, greddy profec b boos controller, Turbonetics wastegate( i think it has a 18lbs spring on it),supra TT fuel pump, Apexi GT spec 4inch exhaust(off a jspec fd),and i think i have some more things, but cant remember at the moment.

ive been researching on the Cosmo swap into an FD chasis, and so far i think ive decided im going to tap the rear RE iron to allow me to bolt on the FD motor mount brackets.

i also plan doing the R1 oil cooler conversion.

right now i just kinda need advice, on what im still missing, and any info would be very helpful and appriciated.

heres some pics.. enjoy.. thanks for your time.









some pics i took before i sent my irons to get resurfaced..

 

Very nice! Good luck with this project, are you still keeping your red FC?

 

^doesnt look like it, but i dont mind.

 

welcome to the next level my friend!

 

nice find..body looks really good...im sure its going to turn out really nice

 

congrats on the upgrade.

 

thanks every one, really appriciate it. like i said in my first post, ive gone through 7 FC's since ive been in the rotary scene. I dont regret it either.

but it was time to move up.


ohh, the chasis, im pretty much getting a sick deal from a good friend of mines. dont wanna say anything just yet. but some were along the lines 4k-6k Hes also throwing A LOT of extras with the car.

i have lots of plans for the car. which should make this a very FUN BUILD

 

Btw, what do you guys think of my set up??? any ideas that can push me in the right direction???

 

and if any one is interested, i have pics of the Cosmo teardown, and some things ifound when i opened it..

thanks again.

 

sweet hi meh! Can't wait to see everything as it progresses first hand!

 

for sure, you should stop by and help me out when i get started in the upcoming weeks.

 

looks good. gl.

 

^thanks, im doing all the work possible on this build. i love to work on these cars..

its a great experiance. FULL hands on work..


is there any specific things i should replace in the car, as soon as i begin to work on it?
like, harness's, bushings, and stuff of that nature.

i only truely know fc's inside out lol..

thanks again.

 

btw, if any one in the Los Angeles Area wants to come and help me out in the next couple of weeks, i would appriciate it.

 

how about me? jajaja!!!

 

if im not all tied up with my own crap i might be able to help

 

^^ sweet, let me know Adam..

 

any one got an idea what coils i can run?? like ls1 coils or stock fd ones?

 

stock FD ones can be fine. since you're going to be pushing a lot of power I'd also get the hks twin power ignition amp.

Also, put the car on jacks and pull the tires off to check for any wear/play in the bushings. Pillowballs may need to be replaced.

good luck, hiii meee

 

yea, i aiming for 450 or so. so stock fd coils would be fine?, just curious, as to when the fd coils loose spark. ill look into that jks twin power ignition amp.

yea i plan to change bushings on the car. hopefully i can get some help from the LA fd owners. to help me check for things, etc..

thanks again

 

my friend offered to sell me his 99 spec tranny...

i heard theres a small difference in the 5th gear... is it worth getting???

 

If you can get your hands on some Escalade 6.0L coils i'd run those they are 50% more powerfull then the GTO ls2 coils. I'll be running those with my haltech here in about a month.

 

It might be, if you are tracking the car it will make 5th gear more in your powerband.

 

sweet,ill look into finding those then.. because i am aiming for 450hp and up..


yea i plan to track the car as soon as i can.

 

sorry to nuub it up again... but what are the specific benifits of the water/meth injection??

can you give me a bit more info on it??

thanks again
