Not sure what ECU Phil is running, but my setup is similar with two bungs. One is for the wideband and the other is for the stock 02 sensor which the Microtech unit uses. Don't ask me why it's like this but that is how Kilo said it needed to be. I agree with Mefarri that the wideband needs to be at least 18 inches downstream as per PLX instructions - although mine is about where Phil's is and it has been fine. Not recommended though.

 

It's actually 30 inches and 38 inches away from the turbo.. So I'm good

Unfortunately, this project is eating up all my spare cash and space... My lift is on hold until this project is done... which might be sept/oct this year.

Hey David, I'm planning to run Haltech PS2K, E85, and hope to break 600WHP. Two bungs will give me a chance to run o2 and wideband, or move if one gets too hot etc. I think people assume the turbo mounts closer to the bungs but its on the other side.

 

Thank you! I have to give credit to the man who saw how the engine sat and doing things differently. Because Defined kit sits bit higher, my fabricator, Walker Morgan from www.MPFab.com saw an opportunity to do something that no one has done for 3 rotor set up. I think he did an awesome job and last week I decided to go E85 vs pump gas and also we worked out the IC/Rad set up. Anyone looking for unique set up, www.MPFab.com is the guy. Well worth the money you spend and if you want him to build you a manifold for your 2 rotor or 3 rotor, I'll be happy to lend him my motors for a mock up.

 

Ahhhhhhhh there it is. Just first instinct is to think it mounted the way of your picture. It's like he knew what he was doing or something...

Everything looks fantastic man.

 

Thank you! Hope at the end, I don't have any issues putting it back together.. Hehe..

More Update...

January 22nd, 2012 - I've ordered a new wastegate from a friend from the past who owns www.znperformance.com

Gave me a great deal the Tial 44mm MVR wastegate!





www.znperformance.com

While I was at it, I also ordered one of these from ZNPerformance..

 

January 27th, 2012 - Not much update... I got my new tires the other day and just dropped them off this morning to get them mounted. There is only one place in Bham, AL that I would let people touch new wheels... and only because they have the right machine to do so... Corgi Artiglio Master and Hunter load balancer. This shop also uses special weight for your wheels.. expensive, but worth it!

Wheel Spec: The New WORK CR Ultimate 18x9.5 Front and 18x10.5 Rear

Tire Spec: Toyo Tires, R888 - Front 255/35, Rear 295/30

 

AMAZING wheels.

 

Your wheels are so sexy.

 

February 3rd, 2012 - Few things happened since last update...

Toyo R888s are mounted on the new wheels and now back at the house.




20b stainless flange is machined flat and ready.



All the exterior plastics have been pulled and fenders are on for test fitting.





and testing out the bumper..

 

Those wheels are sexy. Is the kit from Shine Auto Project or somewere else?

 

Fenders are from Shine.. but not the bumper..

More update... well, not really...

February 12th, 2012 - Not much update as I been spending my spare time trying to get my old house in order and put it back on the market. Some idiot kicked down my door to the garage and I had to get that fixed and been painting the interior to update the house a bit... This housing market is killing me and I need to sell this so I can dump it in to this project.

Anyhow, Only car thing I did since last update...

Put these Mazda posters I had (for about 7 years) in my garage..





And got my spoilerless hatch painted MB and mounted (pics later).

 

Nice! I remember when those posters were in your living room when I picked up the black R1 back in 05. Oh how the times change. I like them better in the garage.

 

ad gt front bumper? So why did you decide to go with shine's fenders instead of the ad gt ones? I'm currently pondering the same thing!

 

Hey Brent! Yeah, back in the days.... Now I'm a father and you are a race car driver.. I envy you and hope I could drive with you one day.

Well, couple of reasons.. one, I don't like the AD fenders... they are similar but something about them that I don't like. Two, if for some reason I destroy the fenders, they are much easier to source because of shine.


quick update... I went wingless with the MB FD.. simpler and I'm wanting to start driving this thing everywhere. Taking the Bride seats out and putting the stock base seats back in... more to come about the MB FD in next couple of months.

 

^ ahh yea.. It'd be a pain in the **** sourcing ad gt fenders. I don't like how you need to run the side skirts in order to run the fenders as well.. because it would look horrible without them. Also.. don't you have the R-magic lights? if so...did you source them through someone here on the forum as well?

 

Yeah, I'm not big on the RE-A side skirts... I've always like the FEED sides better and I'm sticking with those. Also, I'm debating about going Street diffuser or Pro diffuser on the 20B build..

 

Phil, I love the posters bud...... I wonder how many of those are hanging up in garages around the country. Not many I'll bet

 

Thanks Rich.. I don't think not to many individual will have those posters.. Maybe less than 10??

February 26th, 2012 - I've bandaid fixed my ignition issue on my MB FD and drove around town today. Also, thought I snap some recent pics with the new hatch and the cleaner look.

 

went straight from page 1 till now instead of studying. well worth it though lol

 

Thanks man! Just for you, on the Leap Year day when I'm working for the man for FREE, one more pic

 

Love the cleaner look!

 

You single handily increased the value of MB FD's grats

 

Changing up a bit... and busy with life..

Preview of what I been doing at home for DGRR 2012..

 

I've also made a carbon license plate for the SSM 99 bumper... Finally!

 

sweet. i like the cut out in the bumper. although its a little distracting... have you thought of painting or vinyling the inside of the "duct/hole"? i think it will look better and less distracting from a head on view
