man sorry to hear your troubles =(

on a brighter note, those pics in the first post are awesome! and nice built, keep pushing!

Thanks,

Yeah that 20b was build to a very high standard!!

im loving this build. I have similar plans..

Anyone think I've over done it with the heat management?

Was thinking of wrapping the wastegate pipes too haha!

Full function rail installed! Hooray!

Also noteworthy if you buy and Xtreme rotaries under drive pulley kit and use the full function trigger wheel. You'll need to use the second idler pulley hole and the belt supplied will be too small. So ask for a bigger belt !!

Anyone use the mishimoto oil
Catch cans?

This tastey little treat came in the post this morning.

Very impressed !

Attachment 649644

I have one of those too. :) How do I post pictures on here and have them big like yours?

ps. I'm contemplating the mishimoto catch can as well.

If only it could do wheelies....

Twin wastegates are gunna sing like a banshee!

Last look at the Os giken push pull conversion .. Very cool.
Will make removing the gearbox a breeze. Too many times I've lost my cool at the factory clutch set up!

Attachment 649265

Can't wait for this to be done!

This is coming together nicely!

Update !!

I've picked up quite a few bits lately !

Decided on a black gauge to fit in with the dash and it looks great. Same red needle etc! Fits perfectly.

This is what $438nzd looks like in fuel fittings haha. All black everything!

So low!

Also picked up doen transmission parts

Mazdaspeed PPF
Banzai racing diff brace
Banzai racing transmission brace ...

... Now with these braces , is the MS PPF needed? Oh well :P

Have you tried reclocking the chra ?

Yep... Still got the intercooler to place in to see the final angle!

Real productive weekend!

Put the PPF , driveshaft , diff & trans braces in!

All the Banzai diff & trans brace fit like a glove without any issues!
Couldn't believe it actually.

Got some Time under the car to take another photo of the under car surgery tank and pump.

Attachment 647466

Now I've only got the oil loop line from the rear turbo oil return to the filler neck to finish!

Is that the IRP oil filler neck? Hows it fit? Nice looking build man!

Yes it is.
It's great.
All thought it needs to be painted almost immediately as gets surface rust on it.
Shipped it cost me $360NZ so that's quite a lot.
But no regrets for sure.

Sitting in my drift car makes me want to half cage the streeter and transfer over the seats on non race days :/ hmmm.

Update.

Managed to get the car featured in the under construction section of Nz performance car. Pretty chuffed! Thanks Marcus.

I decided to sell the Pettit intercooler.
Visually I don't like it enough. So I'll be looking for a HKS vmount
Attachment 645027
Really love the clean look.
Also
Will be ditching the Xtreme Rotaries pulley kit, in favor of electric water pump and braided lines to the vmount radiator. With the vmount intercooler pipes sorrounding the eñgine and no water pump in the way with a side mounted alternator I hope to really show the engine block itself. So I can point at it and tell ppl that the small thing in the centre is the engine.

Unfortunately this is gauge holder is a fake and /or copy. It has no mounting points and the side cuts out arnt big enough for the indicators etc to go up .

Picked up a 2002 spec cluster from Rx7 boutique.
Can't wait for it to arrive !

Also added this to my toys.

The kit is amazing. The fitement is like sugery and the thought and time that must have gone into is nothing short of amazing.
Although u I feel like I haven't used half of the kit as includes PS and AC relocation items.
Very happy!

Fuel system all 100%

Made some mounts for the feed and a ghetto mount for the Fpr.

The oil loop line is too long.. Need to shorten that.
