I found a great deal on the Injector Dynamics (Yaw Power) injectors today through Full Function Engineering. Ordered 6x 1000cc for my setup on pump gas with the option to also run e85. Aaron recommended the 1000s for the primary as well, due to my Microtech's ability to run low pulse widths to achieve a stock-like idle. The injector hats are anodized purple which should compliment the new CJ Motorsports fuel rails. Here's a link.

I'm going to explore my options for fuel cells. I like what I've seen from these guys...
http://www.atlinc.com/racing.html

What would be a good size/model?
Any sumps or baffling extra recommended?
How about a cell size/model for aux. meth/water injection?

I will be removing the stock tank and cutting out the deck that incorporates the spare tire wheel well. Then building a new deck to make the hatch look stock by having the fill holes flush. Also considering shaving the stock fill door and relocating the fill locations to the pillars behind the side windows. The fill piping would give the interior a roll cage look. I like the look of the dry break fill doors also, gives the car that aerospace look. Like on the Mazda Furai.

Glad to contribute to such a nice build!

ATL makes nice stuff for sure. Sizing depends on what kind of racing/driving you want to do and how fuel efficient your car is. If you're planning on going E85 at some point, that should also come in to play as you'll need ~30% more to go the same distance. The E-production n/a 13b we built used I believe a 10gal cell and he was just about dry after a 30min session on the track. Being that you'll have a high hp turbo rotary with a worse BSFC, I would look at around 12-15 gallons for starters.

I prefer a surge tank over an in-tank sump, and it will add a bit more capacity to the system, not to mention you can basically run it out of gas before introducing air into the system. I've used the foam baffles and they seem effective, but are kind of a pain to work with.

As for aux injection tank, I believe summit/jegs has some nice 1-2 gallon aluminum tanks that are real cheap.

Anyone recognize these A/N fittings? Brand/manufacturer and where to purchase would be helpful.

Here's a pic showing a twin Gt28 setup for sale currently, I'm getting excited to see how my setup will look. I'm considering a 4" exhaust after my 3" downpipes merge. Undecided on what to use to tame the exhaust note that I'll be generating. On a side note, it looks like the wait on the Rotary Run Racing headlights is almost over...

After shopping the list of aux. injection systems, I've decided to trust my build to Aquamist. They have some great products. Here's a few that I'm going with...
http://www.aquamist.co.uk/aqd/RX7/summer.html
http://www.aquamist.co.uk/cp/H6.html

There is a group buy going on in their forum for these, spread the word. We need 20 people to make it happen. Here's a link

Here's a link to a vmic thread that has always inspired me. I've decided to link it to this thread for future reference. I'm planning on borrowing most of the same mounting and ducting designs when the time comes. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I do.

Purchased the small Fujita Eng. wing to accessorize my Feed/Aerofiber adjustable spoiler. I'm going to have a very busy hatch with the two wings and rear sun shade. Hoping the small wing mounts using the inner R1 spoiler's holes. Got the injectors this week, they look top notch. Thanks Aaron! My old friend Omar, who got me the sweet deal on my RE Amemiya bumper, hooked me up with a couple cases of Idemitsu rotary premix and oil. Thank you Omar, always a pleasure doing business.

Anxiously awaiting these to be released. Last exterior pieces required in order to get everything painted at once for a perfect match. Quite possibly my next purchase...

The build is looking pretty good! You'll really like the Bosch 1000cc injectors from Injector Dynamics. I know I like em!

I've always liked the Feed hid bumper light kit over the 99 turn signals. But, I've also thought-for the price, you don't get much. The brackets and the lights used look like something built by a high school shop class. Not what you would pay $1200 for. Just not OEM quality. My idea is kind of out there but I think that I could pull it off...

http://www.frsport.com/Genuine-OEM-N...ts_p_7734.html

I'm seriously thinking of molding the 99-2002 S15 Silvia headlights in their place. The inner portion angle remains the same as well as the bottom profile. The slope angle looks close and the extension around the bumper would aid in the turn signals being noticed from the side. As I've stated before, I only plan to use the inner openings in the Rotary Run Racing housings for lighting and the other larger two as fresh air ducts for the turbos. This Silvia idea would shed more light (no pun intended) where it counts. Have to hack up the ShineAutoProject front bumper anyways. Still cheaper than what Feed wants for the hid bumper light kit. I've always liked the dimpled Silvia's turn signals, that was what made me think of going this route.

The small Feed wing arrived today, really well padded and in awesome condition. Very low profile, should slip right under the Feed adj. wing. I'm hoping it will mount up in the inner holes used by my previous spoiler. I'm thinking of replacing the hard drive on my old macbook, with any luck I should be able to get back to posting pics again.

I'm interested to see how that small FEED wing looks with the FEED adjustable. Nice thread.
