Ok time for update.

Engine will be assembled this weekend. Just finish painting the Rotor Housing and side plates after being picked up from the machine shop. I had them add additional dowel studs.

Price on the Semi is per both housings, right now you can get the Semi done by Goopy Performance for 400-450 per set,

Thats a good price as most shops will charge you 500 per housing, lol and the worst part is that there guys that don't know any better paying that amount.

Short Block got stacked , still need to finish the front cover and oil pan due to having some end play issues. Need to order a taller front spacer from a T2 since im using a T2 rotating assambly, and after stocking the block i ended up without end play. So ill be ordering the next two taller spacers to take care of that issue and give me the clearence that i need.

At the moment im looking to drop the block this weekend in order to muck up my turbo manifold for fabrication.

That's the plan to have her ready by then.

Engine bay painted

And started working on fuel injector setup on the Pro Jay Intake, still need to finish installing oil pan, front cover, engine mounts. I'm waiting on a front spacer from Mazda to adjust E shaft end play.

Looks good, can't imagine what you would have done if you would of went 3 rotor. The color combo looks good, what injectors are you planning on using this time?

3 rotor in the future, probably buy a block and build it while still running the 13B. I'm still debating what other color to add, since most of my other accessories are anodized blue and I only want to have 3 colors on the engine bay, thinking on hav them stripped and anodized either black, or polished and clear anodized.

Got my turbo flanges for my turbo manifold, I tried to get one of our vendors to make me a custom one that will clear my ProJay manifold, but got no where, still waiting for them to send me the shop address for my to send them the hot side and LIM, sucks cause I always speak very highly of them.

Anyways time to move forward, after talking to Carlos at CLR he told me to get the parts that I needed to build a manifold and he would take care of it, so I went online and order the flanges and schedule 40 pipe in stainless steel, spent 193.00 for all the piping and flanges needed.

Here is a pick of the 13B flange, it's milled in the center to relieve stress and promote better seal, it's also taper on the inside of the runner and has a recess on the outside to receive the 1.5" schedule 40 piping.

Yeah smaller than the 80mm, but it wasn't needed for my power goals. Hopefully she will be up and running by mid month.
