It was time to assemble the block!
Things we changed, we went to S4 turbo rotors, FD3S oil pressure regs, and full cut bridgeported all the plates. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e7a00b4893.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...1e3f2c9010.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...2033a8b3ea.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...9e938e322c.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...728087a8f7.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...25b86288e8.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...9d8941d911.jpg |
While the manifold and everything was off the motor it was a good time to check if the old wastegate held up to that excessive heat or not...
The old pro-gate 50mm had a small tear in the diaphragm, so a quick call to Turbosmart and trip down and we picked up a brand new genv pro-gate 50mm.. Before we had a small 2-3 psi boost creep so hopefully this should put a stop to it. We also went with a 7psi spring and have deiced to go to a 4port solenoid for a wider boost control, and power control of course. We found this turbo is on or off, so hopefully this will help with drive-ability https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...9a87875083.jpg Yes i am aware the vac ports are wrong :P https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...b6a9648e1d.jpg Only a few weekends ago everything was ready to go back into the car.. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...3206080730.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...7faf0ad5f0.jpg Again while everything was out of the car and it got cooked, i took the time to make sure all the water, and oil lines to the turbo where replaced and spot on! https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...f6b8091bba.jpg All mounted in ready for everything else! https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...086a30b19b.jpg All the water, and oil systems are now in place.. Time for all the little things to be done! https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...7f244d0050.jpg |
While we search for maximum aero at the front of the car, the turbo system isn't going to see much air, so to prevent the wastage diaphragm to tear and crack, we used the water cooling feature on these new gen-v gates! pretty happy with the outcome.
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...f050fcf916.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...00e9800019.jpg We are using the rear housing water, and tapped a hole in the water pump housing for the return. All everything is now in place. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...7a4521eccc.jpg |
We also have decided to move away from the basic Microtech ECU.. While this ECU is good for a street or drag application, it is not for circuit racing. Not to mention the extra features that we will start to use.
So we have moved to a Adaptronic M6000 ECU https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d7a5c3148b.jpg ECU is mounted where the air blower normally goes... We also added a Haltech fuse box so we are no longer need to use the main fuse box on this car anymore. It is a step closer to completely pull the entire OEM loom from the car which weighs around 60kg - or 120lbs https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...195274de0b.jpg So far - this is where we are at towards the end of the year... In the start of the year the ECU will be wired in, fuel system will be re-wired with the same fuse box, and will be removing any bad or old power sources that used to control the engine. Everything will be fresh. Also i haven't added in here, we also changed the ignition system to the smartcoil IGN1As which should see a decent differences aswell! I am really keen to see how much this car will change to the old setup.. The list of changes since - Full cut bridge - S4 rotors - more oil pressure - Gen-V pro-gate - New ECU - Ignition system |
Subscribing as I don’t see a lot of builds anymore. Keep up the build!

Subscribed. I binged the whole build thread and it was interesting to see a lot of similarities between our builds.
What are the specs on your transmission now and keep the updates coming too. |

We are starting to get closer and closer to turn key once again in this car and I cannot wait!
It has come at a unfortunate fruition that the 2020 World Time Attack has been cancelled. As disappointed as I am it will give me another year to develop this car, and more seat time! I have been busy putting all the small bits together! Haltech fuse box, with Deutsche connectors. Completely re-wired the entire fuel system to motorsport grade spec. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e0892442a5.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...91c9114fa8.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...abbf9cda74.jpg We also gone to the depth of removing ANY electrical from fuel lines. Running the batter cable through the cabin, and through a power pole near the starter motor. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...5c5cf587c6.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...0dc091f31e.jpg Completely new ignition system, Haltech ign1a's on a custom mount. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cdfa8ef033.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d0d276fa57.jpg I am extremely happy with what we had done so far! |
The only thing left to do now is wiring...
new 180amp alternator is now officially in place, everything is set. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...d5072cbd97.jpg I also managed to get the diffuser installed onto the car aswell. Fitment is slightly off but barely notice it. I need to move it slightly 5mm to the left and it should be on the money! However saying that, it completely set's the rear end of the car off!!! i love it! https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...697a74429e.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...649f67eaaa.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...9275a59203.jpg I do have freshly painted RE-Amemiya side skirts to fit aswell, which i will put on when the car arrives home. |
Annnnnd the side skirts are on!!! oh my! photo's DO NOT do this justice anymore!
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...1e690b0219.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...db5b68fbd5.jpg New Ignition system and leads done! https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...11ef89a666.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...01d1abf70d.jpg |
A huge update to #project_savannafc
We have moved to drive by wire for this setup. There is a number of reason's why we have moved to DBW. these are the key reason's to why we have moved to DBW 1. No lift shift 2. 2-step on gear shift 3. Auto blip on downshift 4. Torque control. If you watched the in-car video of the car at WTAC it's extremely hard to drive... the turbo and Torque is on or off, its un-controllable and not nice to drive at all 5. Launch Control 6. Auto idle Control Really keen to see this going again https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...4e587a9595.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...59c304236f.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8153c348f9.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...7fe167e075.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...1b44dc6922.jpg |
I have read through this entire thread and it is extremely motivating! I love it, and looking forward to future updates - also following on IG :)
|
I've been keeping an eye on this build for a while now. It's looking good!!
What are the specs/details on the DBW throttle including any adaptors and pedal box used? |
couple quick questions.
how are you feeding power to those coils? im running ign-1a's as well but im going to be putting in 10 amp fuses for each coil vua a bussmann breaker. |

So even though the car is first funtional over pretty i decied to get some things powder coated...
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ebd8ef70c7.jpg The long awaited FFE fuel rail kit has finally arrived! The product is night and day to that over ProFlow. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...dc4f8b412d.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...1e5fdc48d5.jpg Flex fuel and fuel system is finalized! extremely happy with the end result! https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...9f93904397.jpg |
Some updates incoming...
Few changes, We moved from the Microtech Pro Dash 7 to a Haltech IC7 The Haltech's display makes it look like the 21st centery unlike the Microtech which looks an old 800x600 display, compared the the IC7 2k.. lol There is a few more features this display has aswell over the Microtech.. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...2ffd7de2ea.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...34573dbcd2.jpg |
And here we go!!!
The DWB is done, the powder coating is done, the wiring is now done, everything is now done!!!!!! https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...acaafcd238.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...25b5c7010c.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...67d588aa5e.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...f7ed1f722f.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...06e7bc15b1.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...b5ca44d187.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8a43e24717.jpg We finally went to start it, however at a small issue. We didn't actually have the pedal connected and the ECU said no.. so we will need to get it connect then it is ready! :) |
Well its been a while since I updated the build thread. I almost feel like I need to start another one.
After the world changing last year, no racing was happening and the prices of the FC in Australia going through the roof I decied to turn the FC back into street/drag car. All the aero come off the car, and we put a C4 auto in it along with a G42 1450. We also added x4 2600cc injectors aswell. How does it go? Well we just finished the dyno tuning see for yourself. How much power did it made? Well considering the varies differences with dyno's around the world I thought I would just through data at you instead. E85 BSFC .91 On 25psi which is the second video we are using 67% duty cycle of all x2600cc injectors On the top video which i believe was a 28psi run we used 75% duty cycle |
