Great build. Is it possible to make a 4 rotor eccentric shaft using two 13b shafts?

Hi John,
I havent said much in a while, but now I am just wondering? what is happening with the 4RE progress? |
Well not much at the moment, stuff just seems to get in the way and take up all my time. I've been abroad to chicago for a few weeks and before that the BMW crapped up again, it went like mad with the holset for a while but the electronic wastegate stopped working and the cylinder head cracked so it's leaking oil. Pretty tired of working on it so I need to part it out and sell it, or just put it aside for a while. Also got a nice RX-8, I needed to get it imported here in the netherlands and do some maintenance here and there but now it's all sorted. I like it! Much better than the FD for everyday use.
Don't really know when I'll really get to work on the 4-rotor again, I'm still planning to run it next spring/summer so I'll beter get cracking soon |
We will keep your prommise on that one because we all like to see and hear the 4 rotor come to life.

OK, now you're just fucking with us.

that car would be awesome with the stock engine, and that engine would be awesome without the car, put em together though, and its awesome....

!!!!! What a tease!!!

Lot's of work remains to be done but having the car in the workshop with the engine in there got me exited about the project again, so expect updates and more pictures soon :nod: |
Almost there!

This car is a dream come true!! I've been waiting to see that engine in that car for a long time... Good work! I'm proud of you.

Sorry if you've talked about this previously in the thread but I don't feel like searching in 60 pages... Where are you planning your target RPM range with the intakes that long?
|
fits like stock :p
quite long runners indeed but should be no problem to trim them if the torque drops off to soon. but for street car it might be nice.. did you increase spring tension on the front? if not, the ride height and look of the car is really nice like it is |
Awesome :)
|
Wow!
... ... ... ... Yes, i was soooo waiting for that! Grtz Dee. PS Glad you like the 8 for daily cuz it is. |
Nice but eumh John htf you going to change the v-belts???

:drool: I'm not on the forums much anymore, but I do come back to look at your thread whenever I get an e-mail that this thread is updated. Looking forward to seeing dyno videos and your car on the road!

great work,
i was excited, now its a bit more intense. cant wait |
Some pictures of what I've been up to:
First up, an oil filter pedestal adapter. This gives me something where I can mount an oil line, and it also holds the oil pressure and oil temperature sensors. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-m...o/CIMG3943.JPG Here it's mounted on the engine, this also shows the coils in their position: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-E...o/CIMG3952.JPG Because the bosch coils are dumb coils, and I don't want to run igniters in the ecu I had to get something else to drive the coils, so I got 2x 4-channel bosch igniters and mounted them underneath the air filter next to the coils. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-L...o/CIMG3961.JPG Also rebuild the brake calipers, currently working on the master cylinders and brake booster: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-x...o/CIMG3948.JPG So I'm working on it, but the list of jobs that need to be done is still pretty long. I'll see if I can get the megasquirt in there soon so I can start wiring stuff up. There was a czechian made ignitech ecu in there, but I took that one out and mounted it in my turbo converted BMW, works very well!, almost sorry I removed it from the RX-7. |
