Canada JDM S5 Slow Build. (imgH)
Hello, I'm Chris from Canada with my overspending getting ripped off long-hall build.
Currently struggling with electronic/fuel pressure issue, building around the problem before aftermarket EMS. 1989-91 FC3S S5 Turbo II _N370-374 Mods: Greddy Front Mount Intercooler, Sard FPR, Fujita Eng DP-back, HKS HQ3 BOV, Koyo Rad, Ele FAN, Battery Relocation, Misc Caps/filters/pods, Cork sport Intake Elbow, Tomei 255 (walbro), Plugs ect.. Interior mods... Suspension: Full PBM bushing and link setup, front mods purchase not installed (Knuckles,spacers,links,bushings,hubs ect.) Pretty much will add from today onward but this is my last months worth of work. Currently re-doing fuel car's getting hotttt running lean to my imagination. Not really into uploading exterior pics: Not in my final form; still an ugly caterpillar. 99% chance these images will be gone in 30days: image-shack... probably facebook link the new ones. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...537/TuAHBm.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...912/bdTIFf.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...537/uXJMEz.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...538/BvrAht.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...633/93NEur.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...901/CKOgEb.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...537/XYhPzT.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...537/W7h7gX.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...911/LVWpdc.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...633/FDT2ra.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...661/nBh8tT.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...538/YEKpig.jpg |
Today I'm doing my new Fuel setup: stock setup with replacing FPR
Sard Secoundary and S4 primary rails for -6AN run. Orginally Teflon lining in my fuel lines: cracking so replaced with all new standard -6 Race braid: no lining: more flex no cracking noises. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...661/LGkwBb.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...901/Sybah2.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...538/5nx3d7.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...673/NbVPMO.jpg I didn't like the fact that it leaked at every joint and the inner teflon lining fell off when I removed the fittings to check when i heard the leaks. |
So finished up Friday-This morning saturday: my fuel rail system took four times and breaking the AI sensor tabs. (Warm up idle 3,000rpm- need a new one)
Posting images of my fruit full work and images of unsuccessful full OEM install with double-back routing with a third less routing due to FPR relocation. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...538/O5g6WT.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...661/hgFtDU.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...633/8PDdr6.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...910/zwFL0k.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...538/GTtQ5s.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...901/nRgHWX.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...537/mLBesZ.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...538/XJloOa.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...537/w54B7E.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...673/7AOz2i.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...538/aIIt2n.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...661/1JB9UE.jpg |
I think after my third attempt to tighten the main fitting from the filter: ended up splitting as it was well worn and an off brand length: Good results in the end- no leaks just runs like a bag of turds due to larger injectors and broken AI sensor being broken.
*Purple are 820 and yellow are 620 injectors - Goal under 300 wheel. |
go at pick-n-pull or boxe-auto by sherwood park , find a Mazda MPV 89-94 ish somewhere in those years , the sensor is the same
i found 3 of them each time i went (went twice) i haven't look other models 626,323,mx-3,mx-6 but i know MPV works ;) i might have one kicking around...not too sure tho nice work by the way :icon_tup: |
Thanks will keep it up.

Weekend Throttle body
Decided to work on my throttle body to fix my 3,000rpm idle/warmup < wouldn't decrease on any level < 1st gear/throttle ect...
Took some pictures of the Throttle body MOD with my plates removed with shaft/dashpot and cleaned parts with breakcleaner and paint thinner/gas to get them shiny again. Will go to carwash and spray it down for some new pics. Sunday planning on using SS line to get Housing Coolant line for thottlebody relocated to the BAC splitter just by re-routing around the removed TB in/outlets and installing my clean and easy to remove TB. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/910/olArtw.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/540/h9Acdk.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/905/rsGLZH.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/912/T9gktb.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/zizUrl.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/M4bDL7.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/i4JpY1.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/540/5XOlgj.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/hi2cVN.jpg |
That's all for now..
Sunday- installed the new manifold/TB, ran decent the 3,000rpm cycle was caused by both the BAC/Thermowax. So that issue is resolved, but now I'm in need of a tune and figuring out the IAC sensor to get the BAC running properly. So essentially going to remove BAC as It opens and closes properly but, won't respond to throttle.. Block off plates would be my only solution.
Next update will be probably be body-work or dyno/base-tune. |
Good stufff
Fixed my fuel pressure issue: Needed to decrease fuel pressure on regulator and adjust the MAF to a leaner state.
Next order is to replace that silly AIT sensor and try the bac out again to get some new flow. More importantly I need to get my Oil metering system new lines as I must be losing alot of pressure with the system. |
hey nice job on cleaning those parts ! looks way better !!
my throttle body needs to be cleaned i wasnt able to find an AIT sensor but a got a BAC and OMP lines from a S5 N/A..dont know if that can help ? im in edmonton too |
Ohh

The BAC I had taken off and it looks like new.... I've never had issues with oil getting into my return and intakes so I gave it some power and it open and closed with no issues. I found an AIT was soaked in gas and oil mixture > Garbage. I'm planning on buying a Sard Multifan controller and new lines for my next project. AIT Sensor for only $50.00 Canadian *cheap jdm-plant.com |
Omp
Re-did my Oil metering pump: 2 of them broke under touching the others just rockhard.

So currently can't say it doesn't work but I was told the eletronic system will force you into limp-mode and check engine light will come on. (My idiot cluster shows all functioning, I do have my "heat" warning light due to the sensor under the exhaust was removed. Aside that info: The lines and crimps cost me a total of $55.00CAD or I could buy them at 214.00CAD via Atkins/mazdatrix |
Work today..
Will do a coolant flush after I remove the Radiator and fill it with CLR, then distilled water then re-use my current anti-freeze (2weeks old)_Frost at night.
On the weekend Ill be installing Modified knuckles, Aluminum Hubs, and Uras Tie rods with GP-sports angle kit, this will give me roughly 72* if I install my spacers I'll have around 74*, this isn't possible without modified ball joints: so no spacers. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...911/HppRpm.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...673/JY9wty.jpg Will attempt some of the suspension tomorrow. Flush was ok, not needed - The issue is just air flow related : BIG FMIC + One radiator fan = Fail... Nothing pulling in cool air past the radiator just a fan to disperse hot heat. Which means I get no cool air from the outside to the Oil cooler or the Rad = Only Thing that I get is a cool air intake but fluids don't get anything. (Next week - Post wire up of 2nd fan+controller which I mounted behind the inter-cooler floating; due to no room. Teaser http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...661/HdgzS0.jpg |
when modding the second gens the oil cooler turns into a radiator pre-heater and with most people installing front mounts(reverse thinking) it turns into a boiler. even the largest radiators still can't cool the water temps efficiently without fresh, cool air. unfortunately there isn't enough room to divide everything equally so it takes some creativity. the stock configuration is fine for a mostly stock car, after that it becomes tricky and requires relocating and fabrication work. i still have yet to see a good proper v-mount setup for the second gen in a kit, because the hood latch crossmember turns into an inhibitor. there is plenty of room up front but i just wish the hood catch was at the front of the hood versus in line with the rear of the headlights cutting about 12" of space from where an intercooler could sit without blocking anything. https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...pgrade-932136/ My problem in a nut-shell Boiler syndrome. __________________ |
Suspension /weekend
Uploading images of weekend work, Current and only real issue now is the oil temperature as the oil cooler is still hiding. Once I wire on a small fan behind the FMIC should stir that hot air out. Next mods are still Fan-controller - Cusco Brake Brace, Front and rear strut bars or Roll-Cage (Removed going to reinstall... maybe.
http://s7.postimg.org/kalihzaaf/1199...98513762_n.jpg http://s24.postimg.org/4ixsn5h5d/DSC_0198.jpg http://s29.postimg.org/5pe3txg3n/DSC_0201.jpg http://s3.postimg.org/4d3jao567/DSC_0204.jpg http://s4.postimg.org/w8bwp63vd/DSC_0205.jpg http://s8.postimg.org/7n0sd4er5/DSC_0206.jpg http://s3.postimg.org/octc6grov/DSC_0203.jpg So from 34* too around 60-66* flare outs on frame where pounded down- other then that no modifications. |
Friday-Sat
Worked Friday and Saturday on the important things : Alignment
If I have time tomorrow I'll install Front and rear sway bars plus BAC block off plate. Mine is obvious failing once plugged in, still stuck at 3000rpm so... removal. Steering is on 10.5 (6") inner barrels causing it to hit the frame/ lower control arm and washer fluid. I'll be selling the baller wheels, for something concave with 4.5-5" inners http://s22.postimg.org/govhvusvx/DSC_0198_1.jpg http://s29.postimg.org/nflt8i1wj/DSC_0201_1.jpg http://s23.postimg.org/szdzdd7qv/DSC_0210_1.jpg http://s29.postimg.org/444uvne3n/DSC_0211_1.jpg cusco brake stabilizer , not direct fitment unless you want to run it just off the two bolts. The issue I was having was one on the front and side of the tower caused flex... So you need two on tower and one on the side to fully brace and be stationary, the holes are very tight for application. I have mine heavy pressed to reduce all flex on old chassis. http://s27.postimg.org/umy45jdqn/DSC_0212_1.jpg |
wow really nice job , you thread seem to go pretty fast, i sadly put few hours every month..haha the reason for my sub - endless build
nice, i knew they have a lot of stuff at gregg's , those omp lines look really good you probably checked if they can stand the engine bay heat i got bunch of stuff from a s5 na , if you need anything , i'll almost give them to you ;) we'll have to go for a cruize one day, probably next summer....i feel snow around the corner |
Fast indeed.

I'll keep attempting to update, but I only seem to work on warm days as well. Probably take a while for my update: Not much left... I have new wheels to tryout and suspension setups and strut braces.. I want to wire up my Sard MFC but that's not working out well. I'll predict next post comes next month. |
Drift Night went good
1 Attachment(s)
Took out the car Thursday night to go drifting for the first time and I got the hang of it on the very last run of the night.
I got laughed at a bit for checking my front tires.... But the rears never got any wear just the fronts from crazy angle that I was braking on.. lol Good stuff overall lost Rear bumper, Front bumper, Turn signal, and a side skirt. So you know fun was had. Thanks to several good friends Everything went swimmingly. Issues: Hot Oil temps (85-90kmh highway otherwise heat got up around 90-100.) Cooled off quick, So thinking it's the air intake for the turbo not getting any cool air plus poor oil quality that hindered the fun slightly. My 1st picture of exterior for those interested.

Cooling stuff...
2 Attachment(s)
So after drifting practice, I did an oil change like your suppose to after a high rpm night in a rotary...
I had issue with heating while moving? So I put my under-tray on, also a air channel plate in on the biggest area in the engine bay, and I attempted to install some air-ducting with lots of failure. (The duct kept unwinding and ruining it self.) I also repaired my turn signal and had to make 2 new lenses out of the reflectors on the rear S5 Taillights. *Cool look, smoked yet allows a-lot of light though with clear style. I'll be taking some pictures later too show how it turned out as I over-sized them and will grinding them down tomorrow to fit in the aftermarket bumper. Posting pics as we all enjoy looking verses reading: People laughed at me for checking my front tires after a round... You'll see why. http://s28.postimg.org/pdbt051yx/DSC_0214_1.jpg http://s28.postimg.org/hzwf16hx5/DSC_0215_1.jpg http://s28.postimg.org/uft4uxb95/DSC_0217_1.jpg http://s28.postimg.org/hsddiewc9/DSC_0219_1.jpg http://s28.postimg.org/72v3cev5l/DSC_0221_1.jpg http://s28.postimg.org/mczjxcg1l/DSC_0223_1.jpg Editing the Turn signals as I'm not a post wh%*$, I post a question and I get freeking people just repeating non related information for a post count...

Test RUN of cooling system:
72-80C Oil / Coolant 0-80 KPH heater OFF Highway: 82-90 Oil 76-78 Coolant 90-110KPH heater ON. Previously. 80-100 Oil / 77-92 Coolant 0-60KPH heater ON. Highway: 85-100 / 80-95 85-100KPH heater ON. Next- Check Oil Cooler condition: Fix fins or replace and check air channels to enhance air flow getting past the intercooler. Only issue to fix now is the Oil temperature to get it steady on highway. |
https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...pulls-1090379/
Last mod for the year. Next year I'll try for Power FC install/tune and oil catch tank and a secondary electric fan . 10" mishm going with two and stronger 12V switch setup between the FMIC and oil cooler. |
New parts coming in.
Posting images, Plug, Plug wires, filters and wheels.
I don't know much about plugs, but these sure don't look like Rotary plugs but I guess you can gap spark plugs on a rotary, but I believe the downside is age look like rx8 plugs *EDIT Slap a reply if you got any insight on these plugs.

Small update on wheels and pink/red paint options

Body work.
Just some body work and quick update on things.
Drift season started and my oil cooler relocation to in front of the intercooler did the trick. Good cruising and pulls, until my electric fan shorted and melted straight though it-self. *Involved me taking my oil cooler out of stock location and making brackets and two, lengths of three feet hoses and just simply moving it forward. The easier option would just leave me with a top mount intercooler... Best yet placing the intercooler back into the engine bay and running two extremely simple piping routes straight and down. But that involves lots of cutting of the frontal supports, essential a tube frame. One day. Lost of gross JDM paint cracking and flaking, curb hopping, rail squishing and hard lines from tape and re-spraying on top of factory orange peel. Here are the photos for those interested. http://s32.postimg.org/pooba5h41/DSC_0007.jpg http://s32.postimg.org/uz2gsxg4h/DSC_0008.jpg http://s32.postimg.org/qgvkn3aox/DSC_0009.jpg http://s32.postimg.org/7tngt6llt/DSC_0010.jpg http://s32.postimg.org/y4ih5e9cx/DSC_0011.jpg http://s32.postimg.org/v2nk12ns1/DSC_0017.jpg http://s32.postimg.org/snvogn7j5/DSC_0018.jpg http://s32.postimg.org/ha955fx0h/DSC_0019.jpg |

Season end up date for those interested. I've got some new experiences and skills from this year which provided lots of fun and pics! https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ac60730fee.jpg FYI I ruined my paint job from this but it's the fun we all deserve with the style providing the complete entertainment of the sport we all need to acknowledge and follow. |
These are the updates for those interested and subscribed to the thread. Hope you all enjoy pics instead of failed uploads.

Awesome build! What's imgH? I can't help but have flashback's of potential energy.
|
Long time I didn't see your head bro !
Dammmmnnnn ! That FC evolved !! Nice paint job , she started pretty good for a 5months sleep :icon_tup: I should come hit the track with you one of these days. |
Thanks for the reply's!
In my mind I plan on being out driving this year more and more lately. Good otherwise to do a few track events soon (May 14)?. Awesome build! What's imgH? I can't help but have flashback's of potential energy. |
Hood vent FC3S project
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ded9486353.jpg
Starting to make my first hood scoop in a more typical style, for FMIC cars. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...35d8e74f30.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...537498bc94.jpg Making the original cast with flex to get it to fit nice with first single sheet of cloth. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...7ea16f340c.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...5a06020fce.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...0198ef2b4d.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...4c9b0fc313.jpg |
FC3S Hood vent part 2
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a6f4b0f20b.jpg
Doing this outside, on a hot day in the sun so that; I can actually remove it as, without any proper support from the original base metal the fiberglass will sag and form bigger. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...1105d3df41.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...364f39a4b8.jpg Still very flexible like a piece of melting plastic. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...25dbad740a.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...46da6c11cf.jpg Hardened and cut to a rough size as the laying of many pieces of strand cloth will change size once finalized. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...613542d6b1.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...1fb00d2450.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...185a8d461e.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cc1d89bf60.jpg leftover fridge paint/enamel to keep it from soaking up too much liquid. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...2899b62d0b.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ddf02850fc.jpg Duck taped on and set for testing with a piece of grill. Feels like tarp material, so thin. The black color is from temperature resistant paint on-top and bottom to not burn away. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...52f0317b2a.jpg Need to get some more venting for stock oil cooler location during stop and go traffic. I closed-off the full under-body with a pan and now once again need to let the heat escape more now... |
June Update;
Testing the suspension setups and doing some drifting, otherwise not much for the car beside a few track days.
Broke my bumper and fenders, fiber-glassed again. Re-aligned the steering wheel straight and rewired a few things. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...77f23e8caf.jpg The rest I have some pictures for Something I bought a few years ago, and never wanted to install; because I didn't think it would work well as a short shifter. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...a4d9f010b0.jpg It's a C's short shifter with a mechanical lockout for drag racing. It feels good after you setup the plates to hold it out. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...3723c6820f.jpg I found this electric fan at pick n pull, along with this I took the headlight motor and trim, which shattered and I tossed. Burned that money quick... https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...5c2681263b.jpg I had done this singular fix a-long-time ago and now just put back on a factory connector, but just on the one side. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ed0ac7af15.jpg I also had gone and replace the headlight motor while the void was open. I never used the motors in years because this one failed. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...c70ef8d46f.jpg Here you can see the spirit leave the dead motor. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...0cca264d42.jpg Fender off, from cracking on previous wheel setup https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...932db325e3.jpg Fender on, just patch and resin with some sanding. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...38e33c6961.jpg Here you can see the cut out in 2nd, where it locks you out of 1st and ready to shift into 3rd and 4th. but the plate on the right aligns the shaft to not move over or on-top. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...6ee2e5bcfd.jpg |
This was two of the pictures I could find from the latest drifting events. Credits in pics.

I had issue with heating while moving? So I put my under-tray on, also a air channel plate in on the biggest area in the engine bay, and I attempted to install some air-ducting with lots of failure. (The duct kept unwinding and ruining it self.) I also repaired my turn signal and had to make 2 new lenses out of the reflectors on the rear S5 Taillights. *Cool look, smoked yet allows a-lot of light though with clear style. I'll be taking some pictures later too show how it turned out as I over-sized them and will grinding them down tomorrow to fit in the aftermarket bumper. Posting pics as we all enjoy looking verses reading: People laughed at me for checking my front tires after a round... You'll see why. http://s28.postimg.org/pdbt051yx/DSC_0214_1.jpg http://s28.postimg.org/hzwf16hx5/DSC_0215_1.jpg http://s28.postimg.org/uft4uxb95/DSC_0217_1.jpg http://s28.postimg.org/hsddiewc9/DSC_0219_1.jpg http://s28.postimg.org/72v3cev5l/DSC_0221_1.jpg http://s28.postimg.org/mczjxcg1l/DSC_0223_1.jpg Editing the Turn signals as I'm not a post wh%*$, I post a question and I get freeking people just repeating non related information for a post count... https://i.imgur.com/YoSXmlv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/G8DRMTL.jpg |
I meant turns, those are a nice touch!

Doing this outside, on a hot day in the sun so that; I can actually remove it as, without any proper support from the original base metal the fiberglass will sag and form bigger. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...1105d3df41.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...364f39a4b8.jpg Still very flexible like a piece of melting plastic. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...25dbad740a.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...46da6c11cf.jpg Hardened and cut to a rough size as the laying of many pieces of strand cloth will change size once finalized. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...613542d6b1.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...1fb00d2450.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...185a8d461e.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cc1d89bf60.jpg leftover fridge paint/enamel to keep it from soaking up too much liquid. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...2899b62d0b.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ddf02850fc.jpg Duck taped on and set for testing with a piece of grill. Feels like tarp material, so thin. The black color is from temperature resistant paint on-top and bottom to not burn away. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...52f0317b2a.jpg Need to get some more venting for stock oil cooler location during stop and go traffic. I closed-off the full under-body with a pan and now once again need to let the heat escape more now... |
I'm making one or a prototype.

I have never seen a scoop like that before.

Part one of three for - hood vent.
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d9d748f7c1.jpg
Getting shape with some body filler for painting or molding. If there's interest I could see about getting it done in CF or having someone else finish it. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...4682d8108e.jpg Majority I want to cut out as, this setup doesn't do much for the fan setup without a Shroud to direct it all. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e405bc6fd5.jpg From the back you can see it's decent looking. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...98bc0d70ed.jpg Built up again for last time. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...b60f510036.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...efaebcb71e.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...0e4f23be12.jpg Cut and clean/ trim out the edges, The shape wasn't 100% so I have added more to repair. Plus the sag in the middle sections wasn't very even. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...0f9322bf17.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d9b23c91ff.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...08a551f6d7.jpg |
It is a really neat idea. I can imagine the end product will be really nice and look forward to seeing it!

Part 2 Hood scoop and update
Things that have happened: DYNO, hood scoop and end of build.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...49f0683395.jpg Finished first product https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...29151909c2.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...046b4f9cc3.jpg The shape was close but, I was going to add a carbon fiber face and side. The idea behind this is to raise the lip on the front so it becomes functional. (50% at the moment) https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...280acf0ea4.jpg For the locals if your interested, lots of resin and metal patch plates. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...f6e4dce0d1.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...9d0a76123a.jpg The Dyno results are around 280-320, was reading around 292. 9psi stock turbo with 6psi-9psi at top of 2nd and up. This is due to stock internal waste-gate and MAF sensor. 7,000RPM. Once the road/track tuning was complete, I may have been around 260-280WHP 7,700RPM. Reasoning: Pretty well beefed the whole fuel system and intake/exhaust options explored with OEM s5 turbo. |

The blue bushings shown in the Control arms on the bench and the last picture, don't really add too racing performance. On Highway and street use at lower speeds, I feel more confident on lane changing with direct inputs. Though this is a rare part replacement in the first place, so I would just do it along side other bushings if money is not a major concern.
