Nice to see you're on the path to recovery, I'm hoping my motor will be in better shape when I get it apart. My turbos showed up, after the new manifold is built I'll find out what happened to mine. Are you going to have your irons or housings resurfaced with a ceramic coating to go with those seals?

 

I've silently followed your thread and I feel for you man! Your hard work will pay off soon enough. It's just a little sweeter when you get a taste of perfection after failure. Good luck!

 

Yes, if possible resurfaced and coated with Titanium Nitride or if possible and not too expensive DLC coated. The houses if not too expensive as well coated with cermet. Will have to wait and see.

Dude, wait what? Is this motor in your car now or the one your building to the hilt with scalped rotors and larger engine bolts?

Thank's Archie

 

Okay, so Rob at Pineapple say's the side plates look like they can be resurfaced. And he sold me a good rotor and usable rotor housing for a good price. So now I will do some mods to the cooling passages and such, then off to resurfacing and recoating.

I just saved myself a lot of money, which I can now dump into performance mods to the motor, hehe. My dad said if you ever have to redo something always make it bigger and badder than the last setup, or what's the point of modifying.

 

peripheral port

 

HAHA, Nah, I want to be able to pass emissions.

Next car I build yes, three rotor PP Mid-engine.

 

I still have my old motor in the car. The plan is to mock up the turbo manifold first then send everything to Darryl Drummond. He'll build the new motor, port match, and dyno with my microtech ecu before everything goes back in the car. I'm changing the endtanks on the i/c also. Like the turbos?

 

Yes, I like the turbos, finding space for everything will an interesting one for you. I wish Tial made a T4 split housing in stainless.

 

i cant wait to see version 3(. . .?) on the road o man

 

3 rotor PP? What are you putting that in?

 

A mid engine tube frame car I've had in my head for sometime now (Since College). Just need a proper shop with a frame jig to do and a lot of money.

 

Ultima with a 26b pp

 

Along those lines, but more like Ariel Atom in size and body clading.

 

that would be amazing!!! power to weight ratio would be absolutly ridiculous!!!

 

Any updates?

 

whose mga on like page 3 or 4 or 5 ish?

 

Well dropped off the side plates yesterday to get lapped. Hopefully the grooves aren't deep enough where they have to remove more than 0.004" of material.

I got a good rotor from Pineapple and ordered a Cermet B coated JHB rotor housing for the rear.

Jared ordered me a mazmart water pump and highflow thermostat and I will be making some coolant mods to the rear rotor housing to improve cooling performance even further. See attached pictures to get an idea what I'm doing.

And I'm in the process of ordering engine parts, will be ordering the last of it Tuesday when I got money in my bank account again, lol.

Peace

 

The MGA is owned by Spiders dad.

 

i work at a shop that specializes in mgs thats why i was asking lol the fd is gonna be sick!

 

Jared got the water pump in and just by looking at it you know it will perform way better than the stock unit. Man, what was Mazda thinking when they used the stamped unit? Bean counters..

I'm almost finished with Jared's V-mount setup and also in process of getting John's cage made in his volvo.

Peace

 

Hooray for caged Volvos! Damn that water pump looks high quality...

 

Man get this thing done before the 22nd. Need another Mazda out there (besides Miatas who slow me down) since both Dave and John are defectors
Sweet cage btw

 

Adam nice job on BOV regeneration layout.

Barry

 

Thanks Barry, I just wish I had easy access to a Hydro former so I can create those tight bends instead of bending a tube, cut it up and weld many pieces to get the end result. It did turn out nice once done, but a lot of welding.

I'm also really happy how well the endtanks on the intercooler turned out.

 

Sooo where do I order a intercooler core so you can weld me up some endtanks for a SMIC? :p
