Have u tried your rears on the front just wondering cuse I'm was going to get a set of 10 inch all the way around.

But yes I have 8in the front now with 225 45 15

I have not but I know they will not work. The rears have a 3in backspace. with a 2in difference in rim width, that would mean an additional inch inward and the other inch would be outward, putting it outside the fender.

Have not touched the car but I did get the chance to take apart the twin turbos, port the wastegate, and put everything back together. If I get boost creep, I'll add a resonator or something to the exhaust.

Heading in the right direction...

-Hood has been removed. It's actually lighter than I thought.
-Removed fan and fan shroud
-Intake removed
-Removed 2 stroke oil tank and line to OMP
-Started unplugging the wiring harness

Hey just to let you know I have a extra microtech

iTrader: (9)

REW starting to come together. turbos are on, clutch is in, FC CAS connector soldered to main harness, main wiring harness connected (all still intact for now until i get the car running with pfc, in the future hopefully tacking cleaning up and removing non-essential wires), simplified sequential vacuum lines replaced, and RB oil pedestal installed.




i need to order some gaskets and seals so i can mount the waterpump. also need to make a blockoff plate for the OMP as well as some brackets to mount the vacuum and pressure chambers.

i also cleaned up and painted the TII transmission. need to pickup the rear half of a 12a tranny so i can shorten up the shifter location.

Check your front mount when I set my twins on the actuators for the wast gate hit

Looking good!
Any reason why your staying with the twins?

oh really??? so what did you end up doing to resolve this?

steve, i'm wanting to keep this within a budget...it would be great to go single though.

Hks manifold single turbo

iTrader: (9)

well, that's the easier way to go about it...lol. i have a thought on how to resolve this but i really won't know until i get my motor out so i can put the engine mount on the REW. quick measurements say it will work but can't be certain until i can get it on to verify.

Radiator drained and removed. My plan was to use an FD Koyo radiator/FD fans I picked up for my vmount but after removing the stock radiator and taking some measurements, it won't fit...it's about an inch too wide. Need to rethink and do some research as to what will fit. I will need something that is around 22 inches, maybe up to 23 inches wide (FD radiator was 24 inches FYI). If anyone has any ideas, please let me know...radiator cannot have overflow tube.

so have taken apart the front of the car:



right now, i'm still leaning towards trying to build a custom vmount which will require welding a new front crossmember and cutting the existing one. this is the only way i can properly fit a radiator up front (the radiator i would like to use is a dual pass 22x19x3 unit with inlet/out on the same side).

crossmember modification would be something like the following, from matt's (highnitro) build thread):

TII transmission ready to mate to the REW. 12a shifter housing used along with modified TII shifter rod (cut and drilled 3cm shorter...fyi, a 12a rod can also be used but only needs to be shortened 1.5cm).

Hey what ever happened to Dan s young remember he had a widebody like yours, he was close to completing. Have not seen him on the board in years.

craaaazzy

iTrader: (9)

Not quite sure myself. In researching, I always come across his posts every so often but it seemed like he abruptly dropped off this forum and never came back.

iTrader: (9)

got some new parts. thought i'd do this before installing the motor so i don't have to worry about it in the future.

Diggin the fuel setup! Did you purchase the kit from FFE? Or but it all seperate?

350xfire

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, if you want to go fancy, get the one with a new reservoir for $60 on Ebay.

craaaazzy

iTrader: (9)

thanks, this kit along with the Bosch 044, I'm confident i won't have any fuel issues. it's the FFE Step Up Kit which i ordered via Ihor at IRP (who btw gives terrific customer service!). injectors not included and were bought separately.


i went ahead and replaced the brake master cylinder including the reservoir for cheap...i think i bought it from Autozone or something.
