My Turbo Wagon project I've been hiding
 

I havent said a word to you guys about this project, which I have been working on for about 6 months now. It's about time I share this with you guys.

74' RX-4 Wagon
S4 TII block
FD UIM
T04b turbo
FC front suspension on custom subframe
FC brakes, R&P power steering, coilovers
TII trans
firewall moved back 9"
Ford 8" Rear, 4.11's with Auburn posi
3 link rear, no more leafs
coilovers coming threw rear deck behind back seat
FD Wheels
Microtech LTX-8s

here are some crappy cell phone pics, what do you guys think? I'm hoping to be finished before 7 stock

Damn yo that is a nice a set up, up to see pics of the final project. Good luck and good job.

Wowzer, now that's a WAGON!

Great work dude. Can't wait to see it.

wow. VERY nice.

and what part of torrance are you in?

dude you got to get me better pics!! I love wagons :icon_tup:

Wow. RX-4s are next to impossible to find, let alone a wagon. One of a kind. Nice ride.

awesome ol'skool fookn rocks!! btw what radiator did u use/= ?

Nice ... VERY Nice. :rock:

DAMN!!!! And yet lately I've been wondering why I haven't seen any modded RX-4 wagons? I thought most were gone to the crusher. That engine is pratically in the glovebox. CRAZY!

BTW: thanks a lot... I was trying to miss SevenStock this year figuring it'd be the same old stuff!

Don't miss this year or next... there are some nice cars coming out for the first time!! ;)

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Hopefully I'll be firing it up this weekend...I'll try to keep the post updated. Just finished the wiring on the microtech today, tomorrow it's more wiring.



Thanks. Next to North High.


Thanks. Yeah, those pics are weak. I'll get more this weekend with a real camera.


Thanks. It's a Griffin doube pass 24x19. I can get you the part number, it's a special order from summit, ~$270


Damm Bern, all I get is a highjack thread post? ;)

5 lug conversion?

yeah, 2nd Gen front and Ford rear....both happen to be 5x4.5

Great looking build!!! Keep the pics coming.

Great Project, I Love Rx-4s .
Good Luck With It.

exceellent sleeper car, looks nice. but why not a bigger turbo like the T04S.

Thanks. The T04b kind of feel into my lap... It was cheap and has just been rebuilt by Caterpillar. Plus, it's a H-trim which, as you probably know, is the largest of the B series and not far off from a T04s.
However, I share your enthusiasm for a larger unit and will proabably upgrade to a GT series BB unit in due time.

Nice project Ray. The turbo set up will offset the weight of that tank. that should be good on top end.

wow sick project man, thats going to get a lot of oooooh and aaaaahs when you have it out on the town, damn cool.

Wow. I definitely cannot wait until I see some more pictures. I love rotary wagons, and especially ones that are turbocharged. Absolutely amazing car.

I like it!

What can I say... I've seen the wagon in person several times already.... I'll tell everyone that this will be one sick wagon when it's done! I hope you bring it out to SS-9, even if it's not done!!! I'm sure everyone wants to take a look at this bad boy!

most def. one of the best things I've seen in awhile. FD wheels?

thx

You need to replace the front bumper with the chrome non-5mph-impact-one from the pre-'76 coupe, and source a rear chrome non-5mph-impact wagon bumper from Australia.
