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:

 

The garret 60-1 wheel








Got a bunch of parts in, still waiting on engine rotors, housings, apex seals, FMIC, and BOV, meth controller, and some other junk.













Did some polishing, lots more to do.

 

Pre-mixing, no more OMP


Fixed the roof, the clear was peeling from the sun.













Some blending to do still, but turned out very good.

 

Still need seats too, lol.




My Fiance!

 

Blasted and painted a bunch of stuff











Cleaned things





Got this





Got my turbo together



Got porting templates transferred onto my irons and housings. Going with a Pineapple Racing medium Streetport. Porting this week.

 

Nice paint job..

 

Just for sexiness.

 

Gauge thinger. Hate the visibility, going to change this out asap.






This


New seats




Finally got to sit in the car, lol



New sexy steering wheel - Momo corse





Re-wired some megasquirt stuff, took a picture of the hawt black box

 

50mm Emusa Wastegate - So good

 

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.


Welded the V-Band for my wastegate







CNC Sexy Logo




Bent

 

Done!



Got my FMIC mounted, it was quite a pain, but worked out well.



This stuff had to go, lol. Got the washer bottle back in though.


Test fit








Had to modify this pipe to make it non-ghetto

 

Late night Bartel welding, lol





OH LA LA



Fixed my bumper mounting studs that broke too. Made them stainless.



Pipe fit awesome







Other side







My friend doing stellar bumper trimming.

 

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









OMP Block off plate. Mixing 2-Stroke instead

 

Using these wheels this year. Had them left over from my MR2 project.



Paint



New tires





Sexy new pedals (my favourite part of any build)







Cleanup up the MegaSquirt wiring and labeled things.





All back together under the carpet



Got my gaskets and engine!



Thermal Pellet

 

Blow off Valve



Not my best welds...







The engine arrived finally, waited 6 weeks for it. It's a Large Street Port engine, freshly rebuilt.

Assembling







Lots of work later, lol






manifold had a few issues with the turbo i'm using, so I'll be using it later with a bigger turbo.

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

 

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!

Haha, I knew this would come up. I had so much on my plate with Megasquirt and what not, that I decided to just leave the engine as is until it was figured out, I had the UIM off a good 10 times getting the car running.

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





Buffed the car, no beauty shots until I figure out my rim situation.









Cleaned the interior finally..

 

Keep up the good work! Love the wastegate integration.

 

is there a reason why you cut a square for your piping rather than just using a circle bit?
IMO it would have made it look a little "better"
