wow, that looks simply awesome!
kinda wondered what you're gonna do about weight distribution on this beast.
can't wait to see it finished

 

I think i need to move up to norway ... first a pretty much all carbon fiber first gen:

then this ... do they pay that much up there?

 

Not realy, just prioritising. Im broke now, once this is done

Don't think it will be much of a problem. The car was a bit more heavy in the rear before, so think it's going to get pretty 50/50 now. Might be 51/49 maybe this year.

ok, that isn't too bad, corner balancing I'm assuming too once it's all finished to get it as close to even as possible?

 

Header looks great. With all the stainless and labor, that's a $1000++ header eh?
How do you manage to get the header off of the studs with that #3 header pipe right next to the frame rail?

 

kinda wondering about this too, I've been working on a few friends cars (non-rotary) and they are no where near as close as that and they're a bitch to get to as it is, I can't imagine what it's like on this.

 

Replace studs with bolts?

 

The 2 top last studs needs to come out. Other then that it goes in great. Needs to remove the stearing colum tho.

Just fantastic to see you build up such a nice Engine/car! The crowd att Rudskogen will be speeechless "lol"

Ive been following your thread for quite some time now and want to commend you on some very nice work. looks like your project is coming along nicely and looks like it may be finished sooner than later. We are working on a similar project here in the states as well. We are working on a 4 rotor engine to put into my 3rd gen.
https://www.rx7club.com/rotary-car-performance-77/efi-26b-4-rotor-engine-project-here-we-go-744416/
we are working on the engine fabrication now and the engine build is being headed by CLR Motorsports in miami (Carlos Lopez)
as of today I am waiting for the crank kit to be finished by Alec and hopefully within the next three weeks should be sent to me.

Good luck with your build. looks like your going to have a monster in your hands.

here is a link of my car

Thanks mate. Yeah i have seen your thread, and the 20b thread as well for your freinds car

Looking quite good.

Is Carlos doing the rotor housings and plates as well? If so i guess you are getting his secret pattended water cooling mod, wich i wish i had tbh. But i think it would have been alot more expensive from the US had i used carlos. Cause the USD went up like crazy when i started thinking about this.

Hopeully the car is finished dynoed in 1 week. Well it's gonna be tight cause the intake is not started yet, and the engine is not even built yet :P

But almost everything else is done now. The ecu wiering is almost done. That will be at 90% on monday, and then it's just for the guy who is making the intake to be quick. I guess his boss needs to be on his back this comming week to have it done by wensday.

Oh u bet the will be Im looking forward to the meet, i might just run 1 muffler for that meet. As there is litterly no noise limit for the Gatebil Meet in May

But we will see how noisy it will be with just 2 mufflers, hehe

JT

 

Carlos is doing all the cooling mods on both motors. the three rotor in Als car and the 4 rotor in mine. as of now we have the housings sleeved and will be going to finish the P-port process in about 2 weeks. by then we are hoping to do all the side port filling on all the housings and then start porting the exaust on the rotor housings to CLR's specs. we had the rotors lightened and will be taking them to Carlos to start the balancing process within the next few weeks as well. He has been real busy with international work lately so its hard to get him to fit us in between jobs.

 

yeah i know, i heard he was busy. he need to hire someone to work for him. but i guess there is only 1 carlos lopez.

I think i might have a cooling issue on my engine, but we will see once it's on the dyno.

Going to messure the water temps in the rear casting and the front casting. So we will see how much diffrence the temps are. But not going to be an acurate one, as the water may not pickup enough heat.

So my 3 weeks trip to england is almost over. Going home on sunday, and the car is not done yet. Things have taken too long, and waiting for parts to show up and stuff like that. BUt im going back in 2 weeks again, and they have promissed it will be ready then.

So yesterday and today i have basicly just been tydying up the wire harnes, and the power harnes. And put in a new chair in the car, as the FIA date stamps had run out. And marked things.

So here is some pictures i have not shown before.

SO, I looked at the price list earlier in the post, and what I've taken from this is that you could put a 20B into your RX or you could put a 26B into your Rx for about the same price. is that even a choice? Really?

 

Completely badass build. Good job

 

So im back in england again and working on the car. The build is progressing slowly but stedy. Hopefulle we will be ready by tuesday. If not the next boat home is on thursday.

So enjoy the pictures

holy ****, you stole my idea for putting your injectors in the omp location! hopefully it works well for both of us, it seems like with a peripheral port it should give much better mileage.
are you also going with secondaries above your intake trumpets?

 

What an insane engine. Love the header and injectors and everything!!

Are you going with DCOE style throttle bodies? Doesn't look like there is enough space with the header for IDA.

 

From what I can see of your transmission tunnel cross-bracing I don't think it's acceptable.

Is there a bias bar between the front and rear brake master cylinders?

 

Good idea to run the primaries in the stock OMP holes. I have testad a third Far Trailing spark plug on our 13B PP drag motor with good results! Next year you can upgrade "lol" See the N/A forum for more info.

Some more pictures. It's almost ready now to be started. Just a few more hours and we should be a go





JT

 

that thing is going to sound insane!

Almost done!

 

looking damn good. I have wanted one to drop in a GTR MK1 kit car for a long time but an FD is **** too
