FD fuel pump installed



3-rotor assembled?

 

i've been picking away at the car a bit... collecting parts, cleaning inches of grease and dirt from every crevice

getting ready to put the engine together.. need to pick up gaskets and such still



took a closer look at the turbo last night. wastegate looks a little toasty. it this normal?

 

That waste gate doesn't look normal. it almost looks like someone ported the wastegate and put on a new flapper. Flapper was probable not a high quality steel and melted?

thanks for sharing the pictures... Always nice to see builds. HAVE FUN!

 

always great seeing an update on this thread

 

does anyone know of a good place to get all engine installation gaskets? intake/exhaust manifolds, front cover, etc? dealer?

 

rotary aviation sells an install gasket kit for the FC .check out if it has everything u need
their site is like a big maze lol I saw them a while ago while looking over all their stuff on the page I had to use google to find it again http://www.rotaryaviation.com/install_gaskets.htm

 

I got my stuff from atkins rotary never had an issue

 

got out to the garage for a bit last night

trans mounted up



and in... cleaned the engine bay up a little more as well



car is up in the air again for fuel lines to be run

started mounting up injectors and rails. removed pulsation dampner as well.



i seem to have a lot of play on the secondary injectors... am i missing something here?

 

guess i should update

still picking away at the car. kinda decided that I'm in no rush, and working on the car is more of a hobby anywyas














I seem to have a bit of a snag with motor/transmission placement though. started a new thread here - any help is appreciated!

 

I think I moved the FPR to the other side of the rail and ditched the pulsation dampener to accomodate the turbo on that S5 N/A keg I ran in my red TII. I wasn't running a heater core, so the space didnt matter to me and I probably needed the room on the other side for the turbo oil feed line.

If those are my old fuel rails, I changed around alot of stuff on them to suit my build.

If you google some TII engine bay pictures, it's a pretty close fit anyways. But the FPR is longer than the PD, and I think that's where the PD should go.

 

umm, bump! haha

car is almost ready to start

 

Did it running?

 

yup, started and ran for half a minute or so, revved up and everything. lots of smoke so i shut it down pretty quickly. it takes a whole bunch of cranking and playing with timing and throttle to start though, so there's still issues to work out

pardon the wiring mess, lots of stuff is still temporary. it will be cleaned up!

 

Nice!

 

Can't wait to hear that thing lay a patch down!

Another 6 port turbo blowing doors off foxbody mustangs in the 1/4 mile!

 

Video! how does it sound?

 

Sounds Healthy!

Great Work, keep it up, always nice to see another FC cherished and given a send life.

 

Good work!

 

I love builds :3 Looks like it is coming along nicely keep it up!

 

i've been loosing coolant each time the car has been running.... couldn't figure out where it was going and kept topping it up

then i lifted the carpet up and found a small pool

 

If you need a heater core let me know. Consider it my contribution to your project.

 

thanks but i think the core itself is ok. the copper line going from the engine bay into the heater box got a bit crushed and didn't seal with the clamp, so i think it was just pissing down the outside of the tube, then down on to the floor

 

car is mostly together, interior is close to done... should have it car on the road this year






ran in to a few snags with parts lately. both brake and clutch master cylinders are leaking and i snapped a bleeder on the rear caliper (then snapped an extractor bit off inside it) so those all need to be replaced. getting close though

 

also just got a new daily driver

 

almost ready for safety
