Ok guys, I've been holding out on you, sorry, lol. I've had this car for a couple of years now. I picked her up as a non-runner. She came with the widebody & a sigma turbo setup with a Weber 48 IDA. I'll provide more info & updates later, as I'm in somewhat of a rush. I didn't want to start a build thread until I got her going again, but what the hell, hopefully it all comes together, lol.

How I picked her up...

Otherwise you can wait for my updates, lol.

 

Ok, time for some more info

Taking her home


Can't seem to find pics of my original setup :S, I'll have to search for them. Anyway, I had gotten a new 48 IDA, swapped the guts from the original boost prepped one and had mine running. Changed a whole bunch of stuff, got her running pretty good, never got near the full potential though because the turbo was shot. The gas was just flying through the car, lol, so I figured hey, why not big turbo & EFI? :P. So I picked up a setup off of a boosted 13B to get started. Anyway, more on that later, I'll start as early as I have pics for.

Had a couple of leaks, so I figured I would get those out of the way since I had completely gutted the interior due to a HORRID smell, apparently emanating from a dead mouse that had lived in my car, lol, found the skull and everything, swear I took pics...but can't find . Anyway, I threw away most of the interior since it was just gross, just kept the dash & door panels really. Anyway, sunroof repair:


Trunk Lip Repair


Chunk of trunk seal lip missing, no wonder I had a swimming pool in the back


New metal in, trunk seal lip fixed


Picked up a pair of Sparco Torino's from a Miata & made my own adapter plates to use with the stock rails


Closer pic of the seats


Went & got my tires installed & found some tires a tad wider than my 295s...and suddenly my 50 tirewall didn't seem so bad, lol.

P.S. The wing is not present because on the trip home it flew off the car! Because it was only held on by a couple of self tappers!!

Night shot


Way too high...don't worry, I already have the fix for that in my possession :P. Coilovers from an SCCA race car, will be installed once I have her up & running again.


I just like this day time pic...with our AIR ATTACK civic in the background! lol.


Side angle. The height isn't the worst...just too high for me, lol.


NEW TURBO! MUHAHAHHAHA!


12a --> TII Manifold adapter


Removed Rad since it was no good & got a new huge one. OEM oil cooler was leaking, so I installed a Mishimoto cooler.


Interior gutteration


FINALLY IN THE SHOP! Re-wrapping & cleaning up the harness. Not deleting anything quite yet, until I have her running.


13B CAS

 

Air filter relocation kit? lol


MegaSquirt harness run & ready to go...just need some sensors.


Original Intercooler, now have a nice GReddy one to go in :P. This one will be going in the custom turbo setup on our H22 powered odyssey.


Aaand last pic for now...quick mock-up. Turbo mounted & manifolds. LIM has since been trashed since it was welded wrong, but the injectors would have been way too close to the turbo anyway. I'm now welding bungs into the primaries on the UIM.

 

I like where this is going. Ill be watching.

What body kit is that IMSA or is it the Black Dragon one?

 

IMSA/Mariah GTU I figure. Same thing, lol. Not really familiar with Black Dragon stuff. And thanks . I actually just pulled the wing back off for repositioning & I'll be moulding it into the hatch.

 

MegaSquirt harness wrapped


Hoovercraft styles


Cleaning & Paint Stripping my Compomotives...trying to sell


Cleaned up


295's out back, 225s up front. Really upset I went with the 225s, would do 255, 265 or even 275 if I was planning on keeping them.


New gaskets...hopefully will get put to use soon


Making a 1.5" aluminum spacer because the turbo is touching the manifold. Spacer may get shaved down if it's too much.

 

Nice looking build so far! Someday I'd like to go all out and do a widebody with my current car as well - and your's does look awesome. I'll keep tabs on the build and good luck!

 

Finally got some time with the car again. Sorry for the dirty engine bay, just trying to get everything working, then once she runs, I'll be ripping out the motor to change the input shaft bearing and to clean up & paint the engine bay. So here I have mounted up my rad & oil cooler. Next comes the intercooler

 

Love seeing another widebody.

 

Thanks FrankenMazda. I've been following your thread too, your work is spectacular.

Forgot to mention a beautiful thing that happened. I had given my s5 TII injectors to our fuel sponsor for our race car a few months ago and they were misplaced. S5o I am being "re-imbursed" with a set of BRAND NEW ID850's!!!!

 

GReddy FMIC mounted up

 

Subscribed.

I dont always like widebody kits,
but when i do, they're done like this one.

 

Some body work...


Shaving down the rear wheel well lip to accommodate the 295s better


Chopping out some rust from the edge of the rocker.


Making sure all of the rust is gone.


Never attempted inner door patching before, so it seemed to be the perfect opportunity .

 

Wow, another widebody. Looks good. I really like the front end of this kit.

 

Great build!

 

Not too much to update yet . Other than cutting out my wheel wells, R32 GT-R parts just seem to be piling up in my wing...lol.

 

i wish i had this problem.

 

Mini update, but a cool one...for me at least, lol. I finally made some time to TIG some injector bungs on to my 13Bt UIM primaries.

Also, started prepping my wing for repair and moulding. Wish me luck! More updates soon hopefully!

 

Do you know where I can find that wing/widebody for my rx7? I love it

 

I actually have no idea zxdaily, maybe mariah motorsports?

 

Very nice, love the wide bodies!
