Motor goes in tomorrow with a bunch of small, hidden tweaks done before hand. Consider this a final assembly though.

 

This Forum is Dead. The Build Is Not.

 

Looking good! Will you be doing something to replace the front tie bar you cut out to fit the radiator?

 

Hey Andrew! It's a shame Eric closed up shop with the CornerBalanced Forum. I lost a LOT of great brainstorming conversation on there with you guys.

Yes, we're going to likely do a 1.75" round bar capturing the base of the radiator. From there we're doing a skidplate, underbody ducting, front fascia adjustable air diverters to balance airflow with some R&D testing, and I'm still figuring out the ideal locations for the dual FB/FC Oil cooler configuration in Parallel.

The scary thing is my fuel setup, which is SO far out of the realm of the standard automotive world. Packaging is everything.

The turbo inlet setup and coolant pipes are badass. Those will come once the supplies come in. VERY excited during that order. As with the 1pc CF DriveshaftShop driveshaft.

 

Just wanted to show y'all what I'll be doing over the next 6 months.

1) Haltech Elite 2500 ECU
2) Bussman 31000 Distribution Center with Circuit Breakers and Relays (no fuses anywhere on the car!) for the Chassis Harness
3) Oversized Audiophile Grade Charge Harness and Amplifier Wiring
4) BlueSea HUGE Circuit Breakers for the larger engine bay circuits and fuel pumps



2nd Oil Cooler would be either in front of radiator or in front of intercooler hanging down (again facing vertically). Oil Coolers are run in Parallel.

Cheers and Merry Christmas,

Gizmo

 

Looking good, curious to see how the S5 turbine housing performs. Did you port the manifold as well?

 

Yea, it's just gasket matched and left the 60 grit texture for proper boundary layer (getting into Reynolds Number/Aerodynamics/Fluid Mechanics on here won't be fun). I'm hoping the turbine housing just doesn't explode into a million pieces as I crank the boost up. I still need to make a blanket for it that can withstand both heat and if it decides to throw shrapnel.

Here's a video of me driving my daily yesterday:

 

What throttle body/pedal is that?

Build looks epic, can't wait to see the results.

 

GM LS3 DBW Throttle Body w/ Corvette (C6 I believe?) Steel Armed DBW Pedal.

Thank you! It's coming together quickly now! By the end of the week, I want to strip the interior down and start rolling in the sound/heat insulation paint everywhere. Time for Tomb-Like silence!

 

Build Update as of today, coming up soon. Just have to edit it and upload to YouTube. You'll see it tonight though, I promise.

 

 

There's a darn Ferd in the way of my progress, but it should be off the lift by the end of the week so we can start back on fabrication. In the meantime, here's an update for you guys. I know a LOT of people keep asking me about this on Facebook, IG, etc, so I figured I'd just show you my configuration in true form. This reminds me... I have like zero social media standing. Subscribe, Follow, Like, Share, etc. Any help is appreciated here. I can't develop more parts for the Rx7 / 13B without a customer base that knows about me, so help me to help you. I promise, MAGIC is coming soon.

Without further ado, Sn0Bx7's Hood Vent Configuration:









I contacted these guys back in mid-2015 and requested a custom Gurney flap. As you can see, the width and height at perfect for my application, and it really doesn't "take away" anything from the appearance of the car. Excellent quality, and if any of my other cars ever need something like this, they'll have my business again.

Ugh, now if I could only source a company willing to make a Kamei Front Lip out of Urethane and Integrate a Splitter on it for me... If I can do it for $400, I will.

 

I think you will find that a lot of people want a nice urethane lip for their FB, I know I would

 

I am in for a urethane lip and rear spoiler/wing.

 

So tired of all the fiberglass JUNK on the market.

Anyone want to help me find a supplier?

 

digging those vents. am probably doing something similar but smaller since I'm not a baller with huge custom intercooler. =)

 

Well, damn, that's a fuel system.

Just saved about $2k on lines and fittings and somehow magically matched the vehicle's color scheme of Copper and Blue. Shhhh, for those of you in the know, keep this one a secret!

looking good!

 

Thank you.
All my hard work with measuring and identifying new product choices has made this part of the job a breeze. It's NOT easy figuring out how to fabricate and design how this all fits together with great thermal efficiency!
