Good lord, i didnt realize **** was allowed on this site. Well documented unreal build look forward to seeing this in action!

 

Thanks bro yeah i been doing it for a few years now . I still hate it lol. I am not running an AST. My set up is very simple. The raised filler helps with bleeding air out the system. The cap is pressure release and if overflows it goes to my custom reservoir where the ABS unit would sit. There that system works as a vacuum. The system would dump coolant in it (not much) then as the fill cap depressurize it pulls the coolant back in the engine. Works a charm been running this set up 8 months now and its awsome.



I have just waiting on a few ends to meet. Currently trying to attend a fabrication school near by. I will open a shop sometime this year for sure. But until then I do work on the side for friends and customers.


Thanks man I will be uploading more pictures theres still 1000+ pictures to organize

 

can you post pictures of the water meth, I'm getting really eager now aha i want to start mine soon

 

Nice Job Alex! I especially like your Cooling equipment frame, and engine paint on your hard pipes etc. Makes for a clean look and maintainable!

How do you like the RW throttle body? I have one and have heard mixed reviews. My car isn't running quite yet so I'm gathering educated opinions rather than internet hearsay.

 

One of the finest all around builds ive ever seen. Very nice work. Hope to see you at a NASA event sometime.

 

Before and after dyno results from Alex's build. I am pretty sure he is busy getting ready for the track so I will share them for him..

Old( blue) was pump gas @ 19psi, single Bosch 044, HKS cast manifold

New( red) is E85 @ 17psi, Aftermarket Industries Sp800 dual walbro 460s, our twin scroll long runner manifold.

No other changes, same tuner, dyno etc..

 

Wow, those are some huge gains considering you actually lowered the boost!

 

E85 FTW . Badass build, loving all the pics

 

Please post up some track video

 

amazing build.

 

Congrats Alex! One of the few guys in the forum who doesn't just let his car sit pretty but also drives it like it's meant to...

 

Very professional job Alex! And you did a 1st class painting twice!
1) on the big tracks, can you get away with stock sized brake rotors without having to lift early?
2) would you consider bigger sway bars to reduce roll? ie ST Suspension Techniques 1-1/4 , 3/4 adjustable

.

 

Loving the attention to detail Alex

 

time to update this bad *** thread. SOOOOOOOO much has happened since the last post. Its been literally impossible to keep up with pictures and organizing since the car changes constantly.

SEVENSTOCK TIME!!

When is the last time were you able to park next to the legends of the rotary world. Now raise that awsome bar up 1000 times higher how about race with them and be part of the DEMO group for Mazda? This year I will be doing the same goal is to keep up with the 792p in the infield.



This is Re Amemiya's Oldest Son. He absolutely loved the flate panels i made and took lots of pictures. There is supposed to be a feature on them somewhere in japan.


getting ready to go out with the greats!



And what a team would be without Team Sponsored Drivers pictures with my bud Aaron Parker aka Mannykiller.


Here she is out in the first couple of sessions I was giving the car all she had just to keep up with the 4 rotor 792p. But the Imsa FC i was right on or passing it on the infield.

 

As you see these pics note the car will continue to change. We stikll have 4 months of updates stay tuned. Its faster ,badder,more power and full of sponsors who saw the potential in me. I will call them out as the thread continues to build. This is great because i get to upload pictures off my phone and free up some space.

The night my FD spent the night with the Mazda 4 rotors. Luis Chaidez took some great photos.

 

After track recap I managed to run a 1:53 at auto club speedway. I could of gotten at least 2 seconds faster if i didnt have the exhaust leaks and Missing turbo gasket that melted and went through the turbo. No worries

TURBLOWN has my back. Elliot White has picked me up and sponored me for the remainder of 2015. Heres when the huge changes begin folks!

Turblown badass manifold FTW!




my heat blanket litterally caught on fire so Lucky7racing supported me with this Inconel/Blanket for the new Turbo that ATP did an exchange CHRA program for.

 

Time to keep the heat under control since alot of my stuff was pretty wrecked from sevenstock event. I went ahead and used the proven and true DEI heat tape to keep the heat somewhat away from turning my paint yellow and heating my ecu plate.

 

Relocated my Boost control solenoid and redid my lines i also wraped them in XRP FYRE sleeve


also redid my wastegate lines in xrp/earls teflon lines with fyre sleeve as well ( note later on i find out they dont last long due to the extreme heat under the wastegate i upgrade to hardline)



look what arrived! GARRETT GT4094R and ATP hooked me up with their racer chra exchange program and gave me stickers and shirts. ATP has been one of my main supporters in turbo support.



because my new manifold changed my set up I am still going to keep my cold air box. So pie cuts and a little Tig work and we got a new turbo intake pipe that still goes to my air box.







Another issue i had was oil blow by this was solved by adding a fitting to the rear iron and running the line over the engine to my new IRP oil filler neck thanks to Ihor at IRP






and the corner is ready

 

I like to be heard when going WOT




TADAAAAAA

 

IRP oil filler neck



sold my re amemiya dolphin exhaust because it didnt flow as much and i wanted the car to be loud went with the HKS Carbon titanium exhaust







one more of the door panels

 

Track time!

Today we are at Willow springs International Raceway. Temp 40F MAX!



pushing hard 3 wheel action and everything


first session of the day i was able to stay consistent. Tire pressure was key here since it was cold and i am running taller tires . finding the right medium was almost impossible


and ended up running tire pressure at 27psi all around mid day and times started to drop fastes time of the day!



today was a test day and also a photoshoot for super street magazine note how the car has no stickers now. The photographer didnt want the car to have stickers for the feature


Pics of the shoot will be uploaded as i go along.

 

Remember this is a car that i built to do what ever i put it through. That includes street use as well. So these bad boys came in 18x11 +18 and 18x10 +30 VOLK TE37SL



And off to the mountains for some sunday drivin
[/URL]

and I get a text from a friend who says theres a mazda meet at a local best buy.....I am on my way

 

Recap of the last track day I went to i had fuel starvation issue. Lucky for me the Haltech Limp mode saved me 4 times. Elliot White of Turblown and Julian Austin CEO of Aftermarket Industries came up with a plan to help me nevr have fuel issues again. Aftermarket industries and Turblown now sponsored the car withe Aftermarket Industries new SP800 not yet availble to the public and Elliot supplied me the three 460lph Pumps!



and my boys from the drag racing days in the east coast supplied me with the new System 1 oil filter system. No more paper filters. Best part i can remove the element clean it and install it back in.



At this time its Buddy of mine memorial run. Some of you may remeber him as Guitarjunkie. Off to his crash site we go!






And since I am gonna have to wait a few days for the new fuel system to arrive I went to my buddy shop to go have lunch after the memorial run. And i am alwasy the one to bring out the lpa top and say "Hey Louie lets check the log for this specific issue i had on my way coming off the ramp" lol

Photo says it all....... Why cant Alex leave this car alone!

 

Thank you for the kind comments.

More picstures to come also videos. I am trying to keep everything somewhat timeline integrity so if this thread has catched your attention stay tuned!!!!!

 

Man you are living the dream! Seems like the West Coast has a great car community and you're making the best of it!

EDIT: Not all that familiar with Willow Springs but looks like that time would put you 2nd and right behind the 918 spyder on the all time fastest street production car list, and ahead of the NISMO GTR. Not bad for a 20 yr old car huh!
