THANK YOU ^
I keep telling this guy to leave it white...

 

If you paint it pink, I will send you this and a few of these so you can finish the looks.

 

thanks!

lol bell intercoolers are expensiveee

hahah monkey bars! ill keep it white for now and see how i like it.. i think ink would be badass though, seriously who has a pink roll bar?

THIS guy... aways hating on my **** ahhahaha

LMAO now i HAVE to do it... lmao

 

Not much of an update.. just started prepping some parts. a lot of shaving stock parts to delete the lines that i dont use. I need to get some bits to do some porting to them as well...

JDM LIM. block off plates? we dont need no stinking block off plates! just cut them off lol... what is the rectangular opening by the gasket for? can i just weld it shut? (forgot to take a pic of the backside...) This first started off by cutting the egr?? off to make more room between the LIM and my DP so i can add a heat shield and basically got out of hand as my die grinder didnt stop cutting.............


cut the little slit in the UIM. i know its been done before, but i can only recall phil having this too. definitely looks cooler than i thought..


water pump housing... cut off all the fittings and shaved the piece down. also cut off the mounting point for the air pump (cant remember who i saw this from)



no more pink turbo???

 

Nice, that little slit in your pink...uh oh

 

hhahah dont get any funny ideas!!

 

The vmount kit from rotary-works is around 900$ I dont know what your price range is. Also dont know if youve seen garfinkles coil bracket. Puts them on the frame rail under the steering shaft. What aux injection kit are you using? I got mine from coolingmist. Heres the link to my thread in aux section https://www.rx7club.com/auxiliary-injection-173/coolingmist-smart-injection-942588/

 

yeah i know but im not looking to buy a whole kit. im just gonna reuse my koyo rad, either hack my greddy IC or ebay brand one and piece it together myself. shouldn't be hard.

yes i know about garfinkles, i had mine like that expect further up for the past year now im moving it back a little and making a bracket from scrap vs hacking up the stock bracket

im runnin AEM's water meth

 

not much again. been slacking..

got my rotary engine stand adapter in! all i need is an engine stand no lol


removing powder coating is a BITCH.


modified water pump housing


modified LIM



turbo compressor housing all cleaned up (95%)


cleaning spare bolts/nuts etc... stage one, sand blast


stage 2, "buff"

 

made the coil bracket, still need to get the weld on bolts then coat it...


began mocking up a vmic... the greddy FMIC looks like it will fit perfect.. i still need to play with the angles and figure out ducting/brackets... i can believe how good a vmount looks in person... what a difference in the engine bay...

 

got around to making a bracket to relocate the FPR to the LIM.
(no pic)

and got around to making revisions/working on the plush dead piston. just more mock ups before sending the manufacture some final plans.. this one is actually hollow chip board with fabric covering it... i just made it for size/proportion purposes, i needed something visually 3d.

 

Why aren't your intercooler end tanks pink? Inquiring minds...

 

Hey Benny, your car is coming along nicely. The fenderflares you sent me are stuck in US customs until the Canadapost Strike is over. But heres the vid I promised ya lol. Oh and once you get the plush piston toys made, I want one lol

1. they dont fit in my oven
2. i dont think i like the look of the end tanks colored.. i prefer the separation and the balance of the pink to black pieces...

 

Unacceptable. We demand gaudy pinkness. The royal we. Rectify this egregious issue.

 

LOL I love this thread, I can't wait to see this car in person! It reminds me of a pair of black van's I have with pink laces! pimp'd out

 

barban- ahhaha i promise it will look good.

phrost- def, once the cars running we should caravan to a meet or two =)

some more mock up models... same one just some adjustments... body is more towards the back, added arms, and made added the holes which kinda represent ears...

 

failed attempt. but i like this color better and the stitching across the head is how i intended

 

got some argon so did a little aluminum welding.... filled the holes in the water pump housing and LIM. LIM is completely shaved of emissions and welded shut so no block off plates!





FPR bracket i made to mount on LIM. first prototype

final piece next to the bracket it came with (still need to drill holes)



oem dual oil coolers. finally opened my package after like 5 months of having it ahhaa. missing the passenger line and clips... ugh, now i gotta figure out a way around it or order parts... but they definitely arent going to be cheap...


started fabricating my Vmount. welding aluminum with the mig sucked so i opted to make it out of 20 gauge mild steel.. this is just a prototype/monster model. once i get everything buttoned up how i want it i will take my time with the cuts/ plan out the pieces better and mostlikely use 18gauge mild steel. (i love the way the IC/Rad sit together. they pretty much create a perfect seal.

 

continued....


if my chair can hold up a 250lbs person, im sure with the right angle and bends the sheet metal can hold up my 15lbs radiator.




and one just for fun =) bubble tech tshirts!

 

cooler must match piping! possibly paint it so not to **** up heat transfer capabilities of the actual core? also cause it dont fit in your oven

 

no no no no!! lol no pink IC!

 

i'm loving those shirts!... u gonna sell any?

 

Hey Ben, get you one of this to fix the fin in your radiator and oil coolers.

thanks! yeah i gotta make a few tweaks before its up to my standards to sell

thanks! i got a bootleg one from harbor freight a few months back.. not a huge fan of it. i think i prefer 2 flat heads, a can of green tea(im asian and cant drink) while watching forgetting sarah marshall


not much of an update, just finished fabricating the brackets for the VMIC. PLEASE do me a favor, the next time i say im going to weld something please remind me i suck at welding. thank god im making plates/covers to hide all my hideous welds.

And now to begin pulling the motor! last major jobs
relocate brake lines
weld/shave engine bay
paint engine bay
powder coat/ ceramic coat parts
install motor!
(of course missing the tiny details)
