couple of the interior, I will probably getting rid of the Repu harness/cluster and putting in a modified 1st gen harness that I have all ready adapted to a painless switch panel.

Today I welded the waste gate portion of the manifold up, and started fabing up the stack. I also was able to run the wiring harness and intake mounted up.

your gonna need to upgrade to a 3rd gen rx7 lsd and put concrete sacks in the back lol
|
I am thinking I might try the clutch type T2 diff in the back.....I know it swaps into the 3rd gen so I guess it will swap into the REPU with the same spacer? Have you heard of anyone doing the t2 lsd?
Thanks, Kevin |
Hard to say If the LSD unit from a TII will fit. Do you know whether or not the ring gear is the same size?
|
theres very little info on the t2 lsd but iv been told it can be done
|
thats pretty damn bad ass bro...
I like that you decided to eliminate the intercooler for simple reasons that sweet I also noticed you kept the fd water pump with the alternator and used a GSL-SE on the 3rd gen motor correct? I take it one of two things happened, either you modded the front gsl-se front oil cover or 12a cover for clearance or the FD waterpump just happened to clear? Im running a 13b re motor and the gsl-se front cover didn't allow the waterpump to mount flush...so im running a first gen water pump...Which is coo its not so clunky and heave and shit... but let me and us know whot that worked out for you? Also the build is looking pretty damn sick and very simple and quick... |

Its been a minuet, however I started it for the first time today.
|
Are you running fd ecu?
|
I started it on the AEM, might switch it to the powerfc.
|
sweet repu mate keep us updated with your project :nod:
|
I like your oil pan baffle plates. I'll probably do that in my REPU's pan.
|
wow, badass repu. whats apex seals did you use for your engine?
|
I hope it controls the oil better than without the plates, under full throttle through high speed right turns I would have oil make its way all the way up to the oil fill /catch can with this similar set up in a 1st gen. If it works I might spend a little more time on the design of the baffles.
I used 2mm RA classics in S4 low compression rotors. I choose the Classics at the time because of the cost, and I was planning to only run 17-18psi with water injection. I have ran them in several motors, and they hold up pretty well with plenty of pre-mix. |
That truck's a beast!
I see you have alot surface rubber to the road ,how is your traction with that kinda power? Cool build. J |
In the corners with the falken azenis 225 F and 245 R it would run away from miatas with the same model of tire. I could not believe how well the truck would stick in a corner. However in a strait line I had issues with the open diff and wheel hop while spraying a 100 shot on a bridge port motor. So now with this power level I am going to have to rework the rearend.
|
i drool over your truck everytime i log on here and somehow just noticed your seats. which leads me to my next question, how tall are you??? and can i see some more shots highlighting clearence and mounting?
