If and when Rich does get married, it will take a very understanding and patient lady.

 

Or a very wealthy one! HAHAHA

 

Lookin good, Rich!!

 

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys

I'm at the shop today to build up the motor and have my camera, so expect a boatload of pics later on today

 

As promised......the first few pics are of the Gotham oil pan brace and stud kit, which was provided by my friendly pals from Sakebomb Garage





The fourth picture is of my GZ LIM, which I port-matched to the gasket as well as the intake ports. I'm trying out those 'phenolic' thick white LIM/UIM gaskets.....they're supposed to serve as a thermal barrier to keep heat transfer down.



Lastly is my engine wiring harness, which i modified for the single setup, removing all the connectors I didn't need. There is a ground that daisy chains through the harness so once you cut all the sequential connectors you need to solder the ground back to the ISC connector in order for it to work properly. I also went nuts with heat tape, heat sleeving, etc.

 

I'll give commentary on this next batch tomorrow

 

This UIM is for sale, PM me if interested

 

Gear Man Winning View rear view mirror in black chrome..... these suckers are discontinued. Once the car is running I plan to install it.

 

great work!

this thread is dangerous for me, getting too many ideas.

 

I was slack jawed at first. Staring at the picture of the Gotham oil pan brace and stud kit. I could see the studs, but man did it take me a second to realize that the brace was black, and how nice and shiny your oil pan is, lol. Nice work Rich, you definately give me loads to consider.

Oh, I do have a question, I did my harness as well, I noticed the grounds daisy chained, but I swear I don't remember having to resolder it anywhere. All my connections were as they were supposed to be. I depinned instead of cutting, and left every ground that was in the harness intact. Which wire was it you had to solder if you can remember? Thanks.

 

The exhaust manifold looks dope. Is that GZ LIM the same one I sold you? If so what fuel rail are you using with it?

 

the exhaust manifold (and entire turbo kit) is from A-Spec. I had my guy ceramic coat everything with his rotary-specific exhaust coating.

The LIM I bought brand new direct from GZ. I'm using a KG parts standard fuel rail with the two additional injector bungs sealed off.

 

First pic is of a pair of chromed alternators.....can you tell which one is stock and which one is 200 amp ?

The rest are shots from varying angles of my engine. It's about ready to drop in.

Some of the parts pictured:

Tweak-it Racing/Chadwick airpump delete idler pulley kit
Super now alt/wp pulleys
RE Speed Oil Filler Neck
Exedy cerametallic twin plate clutch
Gotham Racing oil pan reinforcement brace
Sakebomb Garage oil pan stud kit
IRP Motor Mounts
(quite an amalgamation of companies no ?)

 

Lookin' good rich. Did you send the comp. housing off for a bit of engraving?

 

rich maybe you can hook me up with one of those alternators...

i'm still using this butt-ugly re-man that someone painted the internals GREEN...wtf??? lol

 

big Tommy gun, I just posted it for sale on the forum......I can give you a 'Webmasta' hook up

 

dude that would be effing awesome.

seriously...look at this crap.

hold onto that for me!!! ill try to get out this weekend or next time youre at the shop.

oh and that new rear-view is pretty sweet too. the engrish description on the box is mad jdm yo!

 

Your motor is looking great Rich! I have a question for you, why is your water pump pulley ribbed?

I have the same Oil fill neck as yours with the GZ lim and had to slot the holes and rotate it as it hit my throttle linkage. Does yours clear ok?

Thanks,
Dan

 

Dan, those are the Super Now pulleys from Japan, that is how they are constructed.

Regarding the RE-speed oil fill neck, if I have any more problems with it I'm throwing it in the trash. Poor fitment on the block which required modifying with porting tools, my R-Magic oil cap won't screw onto the threaded portion, and to top if off there were metal shavings in the neck that I had to spend time cleaning so that they don't get into my oil pan. Not happy, to say the least.

 

Rich, I see you had you stock oil filler cap in the neck. If that fits maybe it's the R Magic cap that's the problem?

 

Oh crap!

I hadn't even done a test fit onto my engine with it. If I would have found these issues before hand, I wouldn't have sold it to you. My apologies, I sincerely hope there are no hard feelings.

 

dude your engine looks like it belongs in a race car...you better take that beast to more track days Lookin good home slice

 

That's because his car is ready for the 200 mph nasty. (LOL it's probably BEEN ready for a while).

 

rich how much would u say you have into this car?
i am not knocking you at all. you gotta do what makes you happy in life. i am just curious.

 

^^^^LOL by my own experience I'd estimate between $40-$50k in parts alone
