So after following many other builds for years and quietly working away on my own projects I thought it a good time to share my new build since I have gained so much knowledge from the other users contributions its time to give some back !
Recently I have been following John Hujiben and Mannykillers excellent build ups which have inspired me to start my own thread.
This is more of a 'rebuild' thread as I have already been through a few motors and configurations over 10 years with the car but nonetheless now's a good time to start even if I am part way through !
So currently running a NA stock 20B with triple throttle bodies and custom exhaust.
I have made the decision now that after having some fun with it to put the turbo back on and get some boost happening ............
Updates to come -

 

 

any specs on the car/motor?

 

awesome; just awesome. love the **** datalogging gear!

 

Let's just say I'm a BIG Motec fan
As they say knowledge is power, the more I can datalog the more I can learn about how to tune better. I guess running 3 wide band lambda sensors and 3 egt sensors might be taking it a bit far but it's nice to be able to tune each rotor individualy from each other.

 

Genuine RE-Amemiya carbon body kit
Tein suspension
AP 6 piston brakes
V8 supercar radiator
Genuine TE37 rims
Yokohama AD08 semi slicks
Cobra evolution race seats
Lots more but I can't remember :-)

 

Recently completely re-made the fuel system with Teflon hoses to get rid of the fuel stink as the previous setup was a bit of a hack job which was done by the previous workshop I used to take the car to.
Also upgraded and re-routed all the battery cables for more cranking power.
Looks much neater now but those brackets took forever to get perfect.

 

so what made you decide to go ITB in the first place? Just curious....

 

Love it! Looking good, How do you like your cobra seat?!

 

Just thought it would be cool to build it like a jap N/A time attack car, flows much better top end too !

 

Incredible looking car!!

 

Thanks, wish I had the time to spend like your build ! Love the cobra seats and they for perfect in the FD ( except a small amount of trimming on the center console ).
I have a detachable steering wheel to make it easier to get in and out but the seats are very comfortable when your in them.
My wife not so enthusiastic about them being in there ;-)

 

This just turned up today from Xcessive.
Been wanting one ever since I saw Herblenny's 20B FD build up.
Very nice piece.

 

cute name... love the ducting!

 

Why did you decide against your short crank 3 rotor?

 

Thanks ! The airbox took a bit of work but it functions really well.

It broke an apex seal and I couldn't be bothered fixing it, besides which I wanted something a little less radical on the streets, 620 HP at the rear wheels is just insane :-)

 

Decided to get the manifolds stripped and clean the throttle body so I can get all the linkages replated.
I'm looking at a grey coating to protect it although I have seen gloss black looks pretty nice.

 

Does anyone have a 20B ecu map for a Motec ecu they would care to share with me ? Looking at getting some ecu files together to have a look at which will help with when I get around to tuning it.
Quicker than starting from scratch.

 

Awesome, nicely built! Do you have any videos of it in action?

 

Willing to sell the old N/A intake manifold setup since you wont be using it anymore?

Very nice car btw

 

Ummm maybe, I wanted to sell,it with the extractors as a 'kit' when I put the turbo on.

 

Did some porting work on the Xcessive LIM, casting is pretty good but needs some material taken off to match up to the gasket.

Before


After

 

Nice toy to get around with Alistair ....

Looking good buddy..

 

PM me when your ready to sell the intake.

Thanks, Mike
