Wow Awesome build! Cant wait for more updates!
|
Epic build going on here!
My buddy has his Subaru at Vex right now and I have heard good things from him also. Nice to have a decent rotary shop in the area! Looking forward to seeing how the build progresses and I very much hope I can see the car in person this summer. Perhaps we can actually get a rotary meet to happen for 7's day in Alberta :icon_tup: |

What RPM is that idler spinning at? I hope the bearing is rated for it.

Water pump pulley's are not a common problem. As long as you don't over tension the belt. Many people don't run an older and do just fine. A tiny 15-20k rpm idler sounds like a bigger failure risk.

Eventually I'll be moving to an all electric setup regardless. |

Shakes the entire house lol flic.kr/p/2cs56xu (idle video) Here was the results, low boost for now... eventually go for race gas or E85 (we dont have it at the pump up here so not an easy option) https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1931/...e1914c44_c.jpg |

Picked up a set of Volk TE37 SAGA's is 18x9 and 18x10, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Did a bunch of powdercoating of parts in the engine bay and wiper arms to clean things up, still more to go. Car ran excellent all last year on Shell 91 and any combination of ~E20 to E80. Never got the tank fully drained to run E85 since the dyno session. The flexfuel tuning was spot on, car adjusted flawlessly. I work in the oil industry so with the price of oil down in the dumps, I'll be shelving plans on T56/8.8 for now, would still like to do Recaro Pole Position leathers in the future and go 99 spec front. Time will tell. Update pics from the last few months of last year and this winter: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...0b2639141f.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...9a356eaa96.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...33a8136d4a.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...5fec8bda9c.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...19bb2555bb.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e1d16e07e3.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...1a0fc60c21.jpg |
Going through your build last night, it's very very close to my build but I haven't updated it in forever. You put a lot of money in this build. Did you update your fuel pump?
