plugging away part by part. Scooped this MFR dry sump setup so hopefully my car will make it more than 4 laps without boiling over every fluid in existence.
need to find FD upper intake with throttle body, passenger (hot side) steel engine mount, a good trans or a used gforce (but I’d want the full kit ready to go not just box) not that 80’s side shift BS.
hit me up if you have any of these things that aren’t a million dollars
also I’m not using any of this stock waterpump housing stuff so if you need it i could trade out or sell it for a deal just DM me. Alternator too.
i need also to find a good FD turbo manifold since Full-Race no longer produces them for 13b 😩
Scooped some Recaros and paid more than I’d like to admit but another huge item crossed off the list. They fit in my S550 better than the FD that’s for sure… LOL going to order seat mounts and see if I need to chop the PPF section of the trans tunnel out to get the driver side positioned where I’d need to be. If I go that route I’ll be selling my rare Mazdaspeed PPF that’s pretty sick to have if you own FD…. Hit me up if you’d want to pick it up.
starting on my 1st gen build. Car will be for sale after.
rear half cage. Full nice grey interior with crack free dash. Slick top. GSL-SE 13b with full drivetrain swap and aerospace billet drag brakes. Pictured above is the gslse swapped donor car.
message if you’re in the market - can spray it any color you like with a deposit to reserve. Can also color match the engine bay color of your choice
so I see you have the later distributor-less version of the dry sump cover that doesn’t have the extension support out to the LH side.
I’ve been trying to figure out how that cover with an EWP setup would mount the alternator. Typically it would side mount on the LH side of the engine, bolted to the front iron at the rear and also to the front cover support extension from the distributor mount at the front.
Which the distributor-less cover doesn’t have the side alternator mounting structure at the front, only the mounting points on the front iron.

What’s your plan? 🤔

everyone has the same issue and it’s a non issue. It will seal fine. I’ve ran into similar issues before
I’m not concerned with any of that still in the parts purchasing phase before I can even consider mounting small accessories. The front iron is what everyone uses.
Full Function Engineering started producing Mazda Factory Race Dry Sump Trigger kits. Another amazing piece from them. My FD is using their full catalog of parts and I couldn’t be happier. The quality is amazing!!
another critical part knocked off the list for this build
