I don't post very much as you can see but I wanted to give praise on the car. Being a big fan of Nissan(!) and Mazda its nice to see they can make up and be friend(the whole rotary delima).

 

Right now we are shooting for having the car done by jan 10 but the 17th is probably more realistic, the stock manifold has lerge runners but they are a bit long and the plenum is a little undersized for this application so we are building a new plenum with the shortened runners

excuse my ignornce, but is it cool to have the battery so close to the turbo like that (if its the battery, if not move on)?

Hey look what i just got from Australia.......looks like a trend huh?

 

cool, can you posts pics of the engine bay

Shaun

 

did you look into getting the later model motors plenuim at all or would you still have the same problem with that one as well?

 

We are trying to design something that is simple and will give us the best results at WOT. The longer runners will allow for much more lowend torque and the shorter runners with velocity stacks will allow ultimate topend power. We hope the velocity stacks will help to increase airflow in the lowend, but we will see. We have 2 mindsets when doing this project:
- what will allow us to make alot of power
- what is the simplest design that looks kick ***
For the amount of money we would have spent to get another intake, we have made a custom one and have alot of money remaining. This intake will cost us all of $200 because we do 75% of the work ourselves.

 

 

240Z: nice! Very nice!!! Those air horns look just like the one i welded onto my BOV.

 

240Z: I really like your work! It looks just like the way that i would do it Not like that means anything.....other than i'm extremely **** and can't have it unless it's right. You guys look like your doing it right

 

you still working on this project? i'm actually getting kinda interested in this swap! becayse i looooooooooove silvia's and was supposed to get one, but ended up w/ a rx7 ;P but yea! btw where can i find that zoom sr20 rx7 mag.?

 

.

 

That's a old issue.

 

My bad......I don't remember saying that it was brand new. We don't have many places around here to get racing mags from other countries so i have to take what i can get.

 

there are dyno charts up

Shaun

 

Here is a few pics of the manifold we do.

 

another

 

last one

 

i thought i posted here! guess not

 

btw that rx7 on the cover looks like a TOY

 

What a stupid thing to do, i dont know whats going on with you rx7 guys, why the **** would you put another motor in their other than the rotary, **** you just brought the value of the car way down, the seven isnt a seven without the rotary engine, **** guys wake up!

 

Don't be ignorant. The same could be said about all the Nissan 510s running around with rotary engines in them. Don't be mad, just get even by stuffing rotaries in every 240SX you see

 

Looks good, do you have velocity stacks in it, and how big is that TB

Shaun

 

Great way to win friends and influence people.

 

Thanks.Don't remember if this particular one does, it basically comes down to what people are willing to pay, but it has been done. the TB is 80mm if memory serves me.
