I bought a 1/2 aluminum plate to use as a jig to bolt up my intake to before I got it welded.

 

F'n sick job bro. The ride is gonna be boosting up a storm and sittin' pretty.

 

+1..sick ride..

 

Pics of intake all welded up with added bungs and custom fuel rail for primary injectors,I'm taking it to get resurfaced today so I can bolt it up already.

 

No major update but got the intake resurfaced and now ready to prt match it to the 12a center iron.took my stock turbo apart and ordered a rebuild kit from g-pop-shop and going to make a hybrid out of it.will post more pics as I receive the parts .

 

Nice!!! Glad you're still at it with this

 

So I rebuilt and balanced the turbo,also ported the s4 turbo hotside.here is the turbo put back together and a picture of the stock and bigger cold side.

Ported hot side

 

Lookin good. I was at Rene's shop and saw the intake. Going to be fun

 

lookin very nice.

 

So bolted the lower intake up and fit perfect.




So I put the upper intake on and noticed my slave cylinder is in the way of my intercooler pipe.





A long time ago I purchased a slave from eBay which I think is gonna work out perfect.just need to buy a 90 degree fitting and I'm good to go.
Top is the one that gets in the way,which I believe is from a fb.lower was bought from eBay advertised as a rx2 unit.

 

Got the car started and intake came out perfect no leaks..I need to get some radiator fans and figure something out for the airflow meter.

 

love these cars hopefully i can fine one one of these days

 

Dave...i'm planning to retire in 30 years. i would like to see this on the road, rolling "not fred flintstone"style, before then lol

 

I got plenty of time then lol..
Its running but no time to go to dmv to get current registration.busy busy busy working on like 10 projects at a time plus regular work schedule.dont worry wacky it will be soon.

 

Great job on the rx2, looks sick!

 

So the car finally went boom!
Details later

 

seriously? that sucks Dave.. need some 12A parts hit me up, doner parts for you I have

 

Lol...Im sure you were ready for this...just itching to rebuild it better than ever.

 

Sorry to hear that.

 

Yeah the day came finally.all my fault too
I forgot to put the boost pressure line to the wastegate,wastegate never opened and over boosted the motor.car still runs but I need to pop start it in gear(won't start with starter)once it turns on its still runs but anything under 1000 rpm it dies out.i did a compression test and it turned up.front rotor 60..55..60 rear rotor 60..65..60.
I will pm you.i might need some parts.

Yeah so time for engine build.i got 6 real clean spare rotor housings that will finally get to be used.i also got few front and rear irons only thing I might need is center tall port iron and front and rear counter weights.

 

.

 

That's what I was thinking.usually broken apex seal will not run as good as it does now.(we'll at least once I get it to start lol)
Housings most likely will have chrome missing but no worries I got 6 really clean ones I can make a pair out of.

 

Pulled the motor and tore it apart.
All corner seal springs are flat,rear rotor had two broken corner seals and front rotor had three broken corner seals.rotor housings were actually real good but too bad one had a broken coolant wall on it.so now I gotta use one of my spare setof rotor housings.

Started porting the steels today,probably finish it the next week.
