Glease - Project DRTO PWR
I'm still pretty green here, but going to post up my build. :)
This is my new project to replace my MR2. Rust free and low KM. Previous owner blew it up, so the engine was already out. He dyno'd his setup at 290HP. Current Mods- MegaSquirt II v3.0 Hybrid Turbo (Stock hot side, Garrett 60-1 Cold) 1600CC Secondary Injectors Koyo Aluminum Rad Walbro 255 4" Exhaust Air pump delete Lightweight steel flywheel Some sort of JDM Coil overs Stainless Brake Lines Picking it up: https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/.../image13-1.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/.../image14-1.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ag/image15.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ag/image16.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ag/image17.jpg |

So here's an up to date update,
I ended up buying an assembled keg from someone here, rebuilt with a Large Street Port. SO, that's in the mail, and I'm going to store away my current engine parts. Hoping to be running soon! |
aven't updated this thread in forever! Lot's has happened. The car is currently running and driving, just waiting on parts for my new rad fan set-up so it will stop running too hot.
Here's what I've been doing the last few months: This is the manifold I bought from the car I picked up in Muskoka. Made it work with my wastegate, and straightened all of the gasket surfaces. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/P1010189.jpg Welded the V-Band for my wastegate https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/P1010191.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/P5240277.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/P5240292.jpg CNC Sexy Logo https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/P5240266.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/P5240269.jpg Bent https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/P5240275.jpg |
Done!
https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/P5240284.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/P5240289.jpg Got my FMIC mounted, it was quite a pain, but worked out well. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/P5250326.jpg This stuff had to go, lol. Got the washer bottle back in though. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/IMG_1773.jpg Test fit https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/IMG_1765.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/P5250324.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/P5250325.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/P5250331.jpg Had to modify this pipe to make it non-ghetto https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...g/P5250294.jpg |

Made some brackets for the E-Fan. Unfortunately i'm switching fans, but they are still sexy. The old ones were sketch.

No fair!! You're a machinist. The rest of us can't do half of this!
Build looks FIERCE. However, I think the older wheels are nicer. Continue! |
Haha thanks man! I've had a lot of fun building parts, that's for sure!
I liked the old wheels too, but they were too far gone with corrosion :( But, I'm getting married this November, so next year I should be able to buy something I like more. |
dang kid, i don't even know how many custom parts i would have made if i had your skills/access to equipment.. looks absolutely awesome.

good work :icon_tup:
|
Looks awesome, and I can only dream of what I would do with those tools/skills. One question though, with the attention to detail to everything else, why leave that UIM looking like rubbish? I wouldn't have taken long to clean and spray it and it would have made the bay look like you put the time into it that you obviously did.

Thanks a lot, lots of cool parts to come!

I've learned from building my last car that making things shiny too early is stressful, and usually ends up getting done again.. I do appreciate your keen eye! Built an extended slave cylinder rod, my clutch is isn't releasing all the way and I need this as a band-aid for now. Stainless of course :) http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/IMG_1993.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/IMG_1998.jpg Buffed the car, no beauty shots until I figure out my rim situation. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/IMG_1985.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/IMG_1990.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/IMG_1991.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/IMG_1988.jpg Cleaned the interior finally.. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/IMG_1974.jpg |
Keep up the good work! Love the wastegate integration.
