What are you doing to it? I've seen this in person, and got to say.... it's stupid clean, perfection at its greatest! I spoke to you at local car show few months back, I have the 20B VR FD.

What's up, your car is super clean! These are just pics of the last time we pulled the engine, the car is currently assembled. Are you goin to Supra Invasion this month?

Thanks man! :blush:

Ah okay, is she up and running and all dialed in? Would love to hear it in person. Yeah I'll swing by for few of the festivities, hoping my car is back together by then (changing setup). See you there

OKAY, so I have a hell of a lot of catching up to do. I'm going to start where I left off, and catch you up to where we are now.

I'm going to go back 3 years..

The car had been Painted, I pushed in all new bushings at home. The PPF, subframes had been powder coated. The OEM control arms that we are using had been polished, also aftermarket arms, and braces installed. I repainted the hubs my self, and pressed in new bearing, and installed the CF driveshaft, and upgraded axles.

We were going through a year long tango with US customs regarding the 4 rotor from Scoot in Japan, considering we really didn't know what we were doing at the time. l never had to import a engine over seas, I would look for it state side. The engine was sent back to Scoot and disassembled. When the engine came back, we had Dave at Mazdatrix take care of customs for us, and it was reassembled in his shop by Kyle Mohan. At Mazdatrix they also installed a dry sump, painted the housings/ irons, and polished the intake runners. They had to extend one of the dry sumps pick ups to make it work. Drove to California to pick it up, and took it home.

I had the 4 rotor just sitting in the car without a steering rack, trying to figure out if we were going to buy a new subframe or have the stock one modified. I call all around for a fabricator, even in neighbor states. A friend of mine gets me in contact with Justin Merrill. I didn't know then he would be a HUGE help getting the car where it is now. He helped connect a lot of the dots during this build. He also came to our house to build it all. Here is part of the mounting solution.Attachment 608693Attachment 608694Attachment 608695

The steering rack was lowered a 1.5" ,and the steering rod had to be extended as well

The front engine mount was not made yet, because we weren't sure what we wanted to do as for cooling. There needs to be plenty of room on the ITB side for a plenum, so Justin made a coil pack mount that bolts directly under the intake runners, and made the fuel lines to the new Sard fuel rails. He had to make some clearance with the ITBs, but it all fit beautiful afterwards.

This thread gives me a feel.

Hahaha

I forgot to mention in the background you see the custom header that was made by Bisimoto Engineering. Has 3ft of runner length before the collector. Burns stainless was used to make it.

Justin here is making room for a custom radiator he fabricated. He also fabricated a front engine mount that would mount the EWP, and Mishimoto fan shroud we received from our sponsor. The original plan was to run AC but that idea was scratched, so the firewall needed to be shaved as well. Also he made mounts for the Mishimoto oil coolers

Damn that's fantastic work. Are the oil coolers ducted? What radiator you end up using?

bufferovrflo- the oil coolers are going to be changed out, so they never were ducted. The radiator Justin Merrill fabricated. I post some pics in a bit

Here are some pics of the cooling hard pipe setup he made going to the EWP/radiator with wiggin clamps.

I like that water pump setup; I just had mine done similar too. Is your pump pushing the cooled coolant into the passenger side inlet of the engine? Factory routes the cold on the right.

Guess he haven't have time to update it.
Here an update of his :)
