If you have a factory Denso A/C system, the fittings are all AN.

Those fittings are not for the AC , but boost/vacuum lines , one for gauge and the other for ECU

Yes, I know, I was just pointing out for mefarri that the factory A/C fittings are already AN style.

Great build, by the way.

Finally got around and finished my custom gauge faces. If you are wondering why 240MPH is displayed and we all know that 180MPH is stock . The spedo has been re-calibrated for the 240MPH ...
With my custom gauge face , i also upgraded to all LED back lighting.

Chip, I feel like there's not much left to finish. How close do you think you are? I'll message you over on FB after the Holidays to get some stuff going hopefully.

Close to finish???... I wish!!!... there are a couple of custom parts that need to be CAD designed, machined, add trial and error in there... not very close my friend.

I'm about to pick up a 3D printer very shortly, it will sure make my life and machining time much more efficient. No more scraping newly made parts off the CNC etc..

CAD design, print it on the 3D printer, make sure it fits and boom machine that bad boy..

One of the reasons this build is taking so long, 50% of the parts on it, are custom 1 off made parts.

The other, i don't finance or load up credit cards to fuel my life pleasures ...

Unlike 98% of the other builds out there that sport every catalog made to order part and so on etc...

I'm that 2% that don't like to order off the catalog unless i really have to

I will be more than happy to help you out with your project needs..

Happy Holidays everyone.

Fantastic build, I don't think I have the patience to perform a build this good.

Is the temp sender spacer available to purchase?

Merry Christmas

I am completely surprised to see this sort of attention to detail build. I absolutely love it and I hope to hear it soon.

I thought my 20b conversion was good as I went out right with it, but by looking at this build thread, my conversion is no way near there!

I absolutely loved the rear end. The Cobra diff installation means "buying parts once".

The throttle body and the upper plenum modification is second to none.

If I shoot over some questions to you, can you help?

If so, I want to know where you sourced that cobra diff from?
What changes were required in installing that Diff?

Which Apex seals you are using? Stock or Aftermarket ones?

Unless its a trade secrete, can you Pm me the measurement of the upper plenum please? if it is a trade secrete, please ignore this question and accept of apology for it.

Love the thread and build

Simply awesome!

The cobra diff was purchased new from Ford dealer, for more info regarding the cobra diff swap, It can be found on the v8 rx7 forums.

The plenum was built to fit the engine, nothing special regarding measurements.
Apex seals are Ceramic
Thanks for the compliments
