Engine went bad some time ago....sold my RX8 and now the build starts for the FC. Decided to go Weber...have always loved the style...heard great things about response.....so of we go! Pics of winter...and I guess when its in your blood...it just happens....rotor in the snow....by accident....

I scored an old housing 13B with an aggressive streetport and a 50 DCO S/P Weber...
Car has full RB exhaust already...going to cut and weld up the 5/6 port tube from presilencer...and need to repolish the header. These are pics as I got parts. Have been working on the car/engine for about a week....so far so good.

 

Got engine pulled...never used any oil...but trans is going to need a good bath. Found some cut wires from neutral switch on back of trans.

Going to run a Dual Friction CenterForce and RB aluminum flywheel still to come...OEM throw out bearing.

Polished the vac pods on distributor and decided to go with something I've had in mind for some time. Black block, polished front cover, polished intake AND carb.

 

So here it is after getting the carb rebuilt and polished along with the intake (thanks Robert at RotaryShack), black adjustment screws, fuel inlet and bowl cover, black socket head screws on block to fill open holes and front of water pump housing, stainless socket heads on thermostat housing, cap mount, water pump, crank pulley, intake, stainless nuts on water pump, intake, header, pulley for water pump anodized silver along with both motor mount brackets.

Alternator and fan getting painted tonight...

 

Also if anyone peeking at my build is interested....not getting any action in the FS sections....don't need this... Rotary Extreme fuel rail

 

Are those old school rotor housings? Other than the cool logo, why did you choose to use those? The chrome playing on housings got better with every generation, and those are about 15 years older than the car.

 

SE intermediate?

 

Not sure about intermediate.....and yeah...old school housings...its a fresh rebuild...so we'll see how well it runs once done.

Updated pics of paint..

 

very sweet, the intake came out awesome! engine colors look good too

 

It has 2 be a old school block if you have the old school housingsssssssss.................why did you decided 2 go with a old school 13b over a newer gen block?

 

I bought it that way. No other reason....

 

Got new gaskets for water pump housing.....found the housing from my S4 is different from front steel on new engine....my housing has the alternator bracket bolt going into steel....new engine steel doesn't receive that bolt...any ideas on what housing I need to track down....or can I just jb weld that hole in the housing... tap new threads to use shorter bolt...?...ideas and help appreciated...

 

To my taste....newly anodized infini bar...and polished ends...

 

Finally ready to come together after flywheel arrival, water pump housing modifications, right gasket....

 

Looks really good! Excited to see how this will look in the engine bay

 

Thanks man....hope I can clean up the bay the way I want once its in. Here is the tranny in hi temp paint, Himni trans and engine mounts still to go in at the very end

 

Its in....cleaning up old harness....tucking wires.....fuel set up and throttle to go

 

Wow that looks great. Can't wait till it hits the streets.

 

Motorcycle filters look nice!!! Disconnect in...not fond of wheel...but works for now....

 

Great looking car. Glad to see the center force clutch disk I wish I could buy the disk with out the pressure plate. It really is the smoothest street clutch.

 

Put fresh gas in it....coolant...then fire!! Tonight! Made a throttle linkage, not getting to WOT, going to find a nice set up eventually...but should get me by for start up and break in.

 

i wont use those socks..it creates too much restriction on the air flow

 

Thank you for the feedback Siraniko. Take off the red sock...black filter ok?...

 

Looks amazing! I bet it'll sound even better! We need some vids once she is brapping around

 

Have never tried to load a video....but will try to figure it out. Meanwhile, loosing fuel pressure once car starts....power to pump shuts off. ? Guess have to wire pump to battery...

 

you can purchase air horn caps, comes with a metal screen to secure the foam filter. however, ditch the foam filter and replace it with sink strainer (yeah the one from asian market or $0.99 store) cut out the fitthe cap. this will ensure to get air flow and prevent carb from sucking rocks and debris.
