done some test drive today..

had the boost up at 1,8 at a moment, some problems with the wategate..
HOLY ****, it moved good

Got the problem fixed so now I'm running 15 psi.. with no peaks..

Gets wheelspin on 4'th gear with just putting the throttle down..


Engine and car is working fine now, just a problem with the rear axle, but that problem is also solved now..


Trackday this weekend, gonna do some good testing on the car then..


I LOVE THE POWER OF THE 3 ROTOR!!!

 

please for the love of good make those headlights a kit please .

 

 

Nice.

 

Great to see the beast running.
Great job!

I would be interested to know if you have scaled and corner-weighted the car yet? I was wondering where you landed on overall weight and how it split from front to rear with all your carbon work.

Shoot some video at the track day. It would be great to see. Incar camera if you have it.

Don

 

Mazda should hire you to restore RX-7's or at least create a Retro first gen

 

Lucky me

took the car down to the track on the track day, just so I could find out that I had a cracked oil-channel in the engine..

The thick middle iron has a small crack on the outer oil channel, so have now taken appart the engine, and taking it to the place i work to do some NDT checks on it tomorrow.

NDT test means that i check all the parts for cracks..

some pictures of the engine like it is right now:

 

i feel bad for you man. you mind if i pm you some questions about 20b s?

 

no problem

 

How the build going?

 

Standing still right now, been on a holliday trip to italy for a week.

But now I'm back for full speed again..


The middle iron is under repair now, I'm trying to weld it, got some good advices from hurley about that.. Also ordered another motor from the states now, a autoexe motor.. As soon as i get the parts over here I will build up two engines that I can use, everything you have in spare wont break..


Nothing has happened since the last update, but updates comes as soon as something happens

 

hahah!
"...everything you have in spare wont break.."
So so true!

 

hehe, its often like that, but the thing is, if i get any trouble with the motor during a weekend I'll have another one with me so i can just change the motor.. Its a bigger chance to be able to drive then:P

 

I was hoping to see you and Tom Erik on the track at Rudskogen last "gatebil"..

Next year we have to have more rotary cars at the meet..

 

I was there with my car... But did not come thru technical control beacause oil leak.

 

Ok, I didnt see it when I was taking a walk trough of the pit..

 

Hehe, I was standing on the gravel place on the top there, right before you come down to the pit.. Like right behind the Breisladdsvingen.

 

Thats a bit of rough luck with the engine. Nice to see she's nearly finished though. Paint looks awesome.

 

got the motor today, so I will start to take apart the motor tomorow to build it up as a dry sump, and all the other modifications I have done on the motor



The motor is been rebuilt by autoexe, it has a tag on the CAS from autoexe.

All new parts

 

i wish i had the money to buy a rebuilt 20b.

 

That engine looks like its new...

 

Thats right, the motor is rebuilt by AutoEXE and its all brand new parts.
The motor has been runned for about 2000 miles after rebuild

These motors are actually beter than a C or D code:
The block build from all New parts
New side plate (Thick dowel pin plates)
New FD3S rotor housing
New rotors
New E-shaft
All internal parts brand new
Autoexe portwork
Close tolerances: Autoexe says built with 1/1000 mm clearance
Each engine badged with an Autoexe. serial number tag on the CAS

 

Man, considering how much fun my SA with a pretty much stock engine from an 83 is, I can only imagine how much fun that is to drive. Besides all the great information on this site, this is what I love about it, is threads like this. I may never end up building something like that, but dreams are free, and they're even better when you can read a thread like this and see pictures of your dreams.

I've been going through and cleaning up my car and plan to do some fairly decent upgrades down the road, and I love working on it and driving it, but it's also nice to get on here and see some of the huge builds that people are doing.

 

got most of the motor disassembled today, do the rest tomorrow and start on the buildup.

some picz of how it looks like right now



The turbo is almost new

 

good to hear that someone likes what I'm doing and that I dont write all this stuff with pictures etc just so people skips over it..


Thank you so much
