AEM Water/Meth installed

Welded a bracket like this


Mounted it like so

AEM Filter

150psi pump

Tomorrow Ill wire it in...eewwww!!!


Fenders rolled and pulled about 10mm









I will be running 255 35 18 rears and 215 40 17 front. We will see how this set up works at drift water. I think we might have some understeering issues with a small tire up front. Might go up to a 235 40 front depending on how it handles on track.

Next set of pictures will be AEM injectors welded to the intercooler piping and the Bosch 044 pump install later this week.

just a thought but if your not sure what to buy to do the rebuild are you sure your ready to do a build. on the other hand the best way to learn is by doing.

Dont really understand your statement? To tell you the thruth this is a very simple engine to build and I dont see why more people dont actually take the time to do it them selves. Sure it takes some mechanical common sense, but anyone who owns a rotary car should at least take one apart and learn what makes their engine tick.

I did learn a lot thru this build......DONT TRUST A SO CALLED ENGINE BUILDER UNLESS YOU GOT SOME ACTUALL FACTS AND PICTURES OF THEIR WORK!!!!!!!

Ya, i belive that as well but at the beginning of this thread you were asking what you needed and that just dosnt seem like it is very confidence inspireing. but ya i rebuilt my first one with the help of a couple friends and allot of headaches. and ya you should get your money back for that "porting"

I dont even want to contact the builder. Im that embarrassed for him!!! When I first started this thread Yes..I needed help. Now Im confortable with building a rotary. Do I know all the in's and out's of the engine not really. There is a lot to learn with this engine. Lots of info seams to be guarded by builders.

two vids:
http://flic.kr/p/9GKYXw

http://flic.kr/p/9GL5hS



Car made 381 @ 12 psi which Im totally happy with. Ray @ PFsupercars did a fantatic job tuning this car. Something is wrong with the water meth setup, so we didnt use it. We figured that with the water meth and new setup we could probably hit 480 @ 18 psi. Im gonna enjoy driving it like this all summer then go back in october and make some serious power. For now im happy and Im aactually gonna be driving it after 2 years of not being able to.

Since i didnt have time to make springfest I took the time today to take care of a few more imperfections on the body and spray the car. Overall im very satisfied with the out come. Black has got to be the hardest paint to do in a make shift garage booth. After about 2 hrs of spraying base then clear I got the out come I wanted and spent less than $300 in materials and paint. A few bugs decided to swim in the clear coat, but sanding and buffing will hopefully get rid of that.

Thanks to Fortune Auto my car is back on the skreetzzzzz!!







And these guys hold it all down!!!! Thank you Fortune-Auto




Final ride height has not been set yet, but it looks promising!!! The fortune coilovers on the FD can go stoopid low. I still have to install the BNsport kit from chaserauto and then we will see what ride height will be best for track use!!!! Im going for pure function but at the same time Im not gonna lame it out.

Paint just finished drying on the kit and overall im satisfied with the out come. The kit had a lot of pin holes and I tried to fill most of the, but I dont have the patience of a real body man. it looks perfect from 10ft. at 10mph and thats what i wanted. This car will look rough after the first event which will be Driftwater11. right now the car has to be raised about 1" for me to be able to even get out of my house....lol Knoop will probably tell me to leave it!

Still gotta completely fit it to the body and install all the lights. I gotta order the 99spec lamps and fix my passenger headlight cover. All in all I super happy I finally get to drive this car. Might be out and about this weekend in Va beach!!!
