Hey guys, I'm doing this build thread just to keep me motivated on my new build after a engine bay fire. Here is the info on the old setup.

13B street port
RE intake
Turblown dual Wastegate turbo manifold
Borg Warner S366
Adaptronic ECU


I will post some pics of the work that I previously did, interior, suspension, engine setup.

Here is a Video of the last tune.

 

Engine bay



Interior

 

what exhaust is that? the car looks awesome btw and sounded sick on the dyno. will defiantly be insane once your new build is finished.

 

Fire damage










Luckily most of the damage stayed under the intake, items that got that damage are the Injectors, a Rywire mil spec harness, MTLX wideband, and probably the Adaptronic ECU.

 

WHY LAWD?!?!?! WHY?!?!?!

 

Looking forward to the new setup!!

 

I like your wheels. What brand/size are they?

 

Exhaust is a HKS TI, might be for sale as I will probably built a 4" exhaust.

 

Thanks Elliot, I'm also looking forward to the new setup, but at the same time I think I'm over doing it.


wheels are Petrol Throttle. 18X8.5 et 40 and 18X9.5 et40

Wheels will also be for sale soon.

 

Really sucks that it caught on fire... Hope it comes back even faster. What size A/R on the Borg Warner S366?

 

its a tragedy that it caught fire , that is such a nice car.

I hope its on the road quickly.


But on a side note I really like your PFC commander holder , what is that a Cell phone holder??

do

 

Wow! Your interior is amazing! Whoever reupholstered the seats did an amazing job! Really dig those mazdaspeed goodies you've got in there too. GLWTB!

 

A/R. .91

Cell phone holder from Walmart.


Thanks, seats are exactly like OEM but with the red stitching.

 

Close up pics of damage.

RyWire mil spec harness


ID injectors


Rails and sensor


I feel very lucky that the fire didn't do more damaged, thanks to my fire extinguisher I was able to keep the fire from spreading.

I also want to thank FFE for helping me with the replacement of the damaged parts, here is what I got from them last week, and even that I'm not using their fuel rails they replaced the old ones for the new owner since I sold the RE intake setup with the FFE rails, so someone bought a burnt set of rails but ended up getting a new set.





Old S366 vs New S480

 

What caused the fire if you don't mind me asking?

 

Same question I have as well.

 

Fuel leak to what I believe it was a damaged injector.

 

Sorry to hear about the fire. Car looks great. Keep us updated.

Oh, and very nicely done on the recovered center console pad. Looks great matching the well-done seats.

 

To bad to see that happen. Hope all goes well with the new setup.

 

that's gotta be the first time i've seen someone stop and take a pic while on his own car was on fire.

 

Thanks, I'm very happy with the way the interior came out, now to finish it off I just got the Sakebomb footrest.


Thanks buddy.

Always a first time for everything, after I ran out of fire extinguisher all I could do was take pics and wait for Fire Dept to arrived.

 

For those that would like to see more pics of the interior.

 

Dude.......that interior is the ****....

 

yeah that interior looks amazing.

i've had engine fires in the past (including my 87 turbo2 that burned to the ground). i know how you feel!


gotta be 101% **** retentive with those fuel injectors, aftermarket fuel rails, and o-rings

 

Nice interior!
