really nice project.

rob20rx7 03-19-07 10:54 AM

LOL! Overkill can easilly be fixed with some tape. Its not enough oil cooler that can be a major issue.

Great job so far... You need to change the name of your thread to, 94 RX-7 ROLLER COASTER Project Begins... ;) Six Flags is gonna have to pay you to give people rides in that thing... Keep the pics coming...

Could you let me know a little more about this FARAUSA series that you are running in. Im local and might be interested. I went to the website you posted, but it seems hard to find anything other than pictures of the directors rides.

rob20rx7 03-30-07 05:48 PM

They are having the secong meet about the series this sunday at the opa-locka Kart track. I think it may be around 3.00pm. Im not sure yet

rob20rx7 04-17-07 11:32 AM

Nice work man I love the way this car is coming out, can't wait to see what numbers it pulls on the dyno. Question do you have any pics of the intak ports getting blocked off with the devcon? And how did that work out thanks?

Very cool!!!!

E Dogg 05-29-07 09:58 AM

Have any guess what car this is gonna weigh in at?

wrankin 05-29-07 01:22 PM

Question: those plates look like a 12A w/ the seal groves on the rotor housings rather than on the end-irons. What's up with that? :)

Looks absolutely beautiful, btw.

They run restrictor plates, but you get the idea. Brake duct hose that runs to the front of the car. Also, you can see they use an air/water oil cooler behind the main radiator. Pretty slick.

i wonder what this motor is capable of without those tiny restrictors in the way...

Thats how the 12a's are . They switched the other way around for the 13bs.

And side not.

This is looking awesome !!! . Hope you get a video while shes on the dyno

FC3S.USD 06-01-07 10:26 AM

Thanks

Ummm, yeah, and this is a 13B-pp engine, not a 12A. At least according to the earlier postings in this thread as well as markings on those rotor housings shown above.

I was just wondering the story on why they were were reversed, was he using 12A irons and where he got the 13B housings with the grooves in them.

Where am I confused? All the 13B irons I have worked on have the grooves in them and flat sides on the rotor housings.

rob20rx7 06-02-07 10:40 AM

They are GSL-SE Housings. For the Rear Iron plate, we just double up the water jacket seal and use a new and a used o-ring for the outer seal. Works Fine. Carlos Uses it all the time.

wrankin 06-02-07 02:52 PM

Ahhh, GSL-SE housings. That makes sense. All the 13B blocks I've seen have been S4 or later.

Thanks for the clarification. You learn something new everyday! :D
