My FC rx7 drift build
6 Attachment(s)
Hey all!
Bought my 1988 s4 fc with a s5 motor in it about 4 months ago. It was a whole car but my god was it horrible. So I ripped the thing apart and gutterd it with everything out even heater/Aircon (I really don't know why I still have a dash). Car was rebuilt 3 or so months before I bought it and only had a mild port and cat back system. Even stock suspension still inside. So I chopped the springs and bought some r32 gtr wheels for it, took it out on track and blew the clutch master cylinder lap 2. Afte fixing that I went to the next track day. After 3 laps this time the turbo started whistling and whilst hitting turn 2 at mallala thinking I'm smoking the hell outta third I realized the turbo seal popped. that was about a month ago. So since then she's sat in the shed and I rang around mates n shops to see what turbo is best but then went all out and managed to book in a rebuild consisting of better apex seals, dowelling and a Bridgeport. This is happening next weekend when the motor comes out. These pics are from when I first bought it to now in the shed except now it sits on lenso d1rs (like eveyone) Too many to come!

Finally some progress on the fc. Got some mates round on the weekend. pulled the motor out and had a laugh in the process. With ltrs of oil all over the floor, 4 hours later it was out. Here's a few pics of the process. Haha good times.
Attachment 483284 Starting off with the help of a mate with great skills with rotarys haha. Top mount comes off. Attachment 483285 The worst thing in the world. That's gotta go. Attachment 483286 Haha damn Turbo breaking ffs. Attachment 483288 Looks like he finally did it. Intake off. Attachment 483290 Alright so I forgot to take some photos of it on the crane and coming out but hey what ya gonna do. Here it is out and ready to strip. Attachment 483291 Pulled turbo off and of course found so much oil in The rear housing. Attachment 483292 Attachment 483294 After takin the turbo off took a snapshot of the exhaust ports and found the rotor. To find it looks like standard seals and a bit worn. Sucks I was told it was about 6 months old rebuilt. Didn't pay excessive for it but that's what ya get sometimes with these. Attachment 483295 Mounted the new turbo on just for a look and it's lookin pretty large. Stoked. Attachment 483296 Real tight fit. Will have to grind back block off plates. Attachment 483297 The good things you find the first time it comes apart. Feals good on the pedal. Twin plate. Cooool More photos to comes! |
