Well i figured the motor is just about together and I am getting closer to putting the whole car back in one piece I mine as well start a little build thread.

So the story begins.

To give you the quick history. I bought the 93 R1 from my friend it had a A-spec T3 35r on it and a microtech LT10s running stock intake pumped to an anti surge tank with two walbros hard wired. All neccassary supporting mods to boot. The price was unbeatable.

I purchased two slightly used 3mm petit rotors and my engine builder gave me a set of Hurley seals he had sitting around. Then I got the almost new rotor housing and all necassary gaskets and it was ready for reassembly.

 

Okay so I needed an ecu and purchased a PFC w/commander, GM 3 bar map and HKS twin power igintion.

 

The car had the power steering removed and I will be installing the power steering cooler below as I found out that the stock steering cooler does not fit with the rotary extreme v-mount kit.



sorry for the camera pics.

 

The car was running -6 feed to the anitsurge tank, two -8 out to individual inline filters the to a Y fitting to one single -8 feed line ran to a Y up front with -6 to primary and -8 to secondary rail. The feed was a -8 return to the surge tank then a -6 return to the stock tank.

I have since redesigned the system for a much simpler setup. I removed the antisurge tank completely. I decided to run the -8 feed and -8 return directly to the tank with one inline filter. I removed the stock -6 fixed lines on the tank cover and replaced with two -8 bulk heads and 90 elbows. I am leaving the split up front the way it was but will probably install the FPR differently.

I removed the Y temporarily to install the filter roughly 12" before the split upfront.

 

I am taking Howard Coleman's advice and running one intank supra pump with a kenne bell BAP.

The existing tank setup.



Drilled the old pipes out.



Pump and lines removed.

 

Test fit before I sand and repaint the top of the cover.

 

I forgot to throw a pic up of the HTA86! Its pretty, its soo damn pretty! It is a T3 1.06 so it will bolt right up to the existing A-Spec kit.

 

While the motor was being built I decided to purchase some shine auto project pieces and get them fitted.

Feed style bumper and Fenders.



Side steps

 

looks good, keep up the good work and keep posting pics.

 

It might be a good idea if I listed the mods in the build.

I think that about does it for now.

 

Here is the pump setup just have to figure out what to do for the return hose/pipe. Can I just use ss braided fuel line or does it have to be sumersible line?

 

It has been awhile but I have just about all mechanical stuff done. All that is left is to remove the OMP (that I just hooked up), rewire the fans and a few other connections. I also need to get the intercooler piping bead welded to prevent hoses blowing off. the FC datalogit is in the mail as well

here are some of the latest pics from my phone. I went back to the factory bumper and fenders for now.

 

with a name like boxer2rotary it doesn't surprise me that you went with an FP turbo. I actually went rotary2boxer kind of. I've been working on and tuning STi and Legacy lately

You may not need the Kenne Belle boost-a-pump. A supra pump flows a lot of fuel with good wiring.

 

I ran that same turbo on my 2.4L GSX I had before getting the RX7. There is a engine bay shot towards the end. I loved the turbo.

What hotside are you working with? What kind of power are you planning on making

 

You got any slips or dynos to go with that GSX? Mean looking machine.

 

I bet that was a 10 second car easy. And it's not even heinous--impressive for a DSM.

 

T3 1.06 hotside. I really want to see how much I can get out of a T3 35r based turbo. I know alot of people believe they are tapped out at 500-515whp.

As for the Kenne Bell. It was recommended by Howard Coleman as he runs a Cosmo pump and a BAP at 20% and it runs the 850/1680 as high as 90plus IDC.
I figure the supra pump flows even more than the Cosmo so it is more of a safety with some room for growth.

 

Anyone know the outcome of this set-up?
