Ok, so after 11 months of neglect, I have finally decided to bring my FD back to life.
the car will be getting an all new set-up with the focus on more useable mower and more power in general.

there will be lots of pics following. heres a few just to get started.

this is the setup from 2006 before the autronic SM2 and CDI ignition

 

in november of last year I stripped the entire engine bay and had it painted because the little scratches in there were boithering me. this is the only pic i can find of the bay after paint..

 

next came engine porting and building. I decided on a large half bridge again. I have had bridgeported turbo FD's in the past and I LOVE the sound, power and response. IMO its what porting tools were made for. my last setup made over 600 on a mild street port, but I missed the bridge, so we're gonna try that again.

the entire rotating assy west sent to roger manderville for balancing after bearing clearances were done.

 

more later, i need to get back to work on the car...

 

Dude! You just put the word "erection" into your thread title! j/k. Good luck and look forward to seeing some good results.

 

what upgrades are you planning aside from the bridge? new turbo? fuel?

 

Go get em Roan..... 2010 is going to be sick.

 

Damn Roen, your thread reads like a time line! I can't wait to see the finished product!

 

Looking good!

Are you going with a different type of manifold/TB?

 

Looking good Roen..... reminds me of my CW fd. I hope to be starting that build again soon(ish). haha. Good luck man!

yeah I'm running an xtreme rotaries 4 barrel TB, intake and hat combo that I got from www.rxparts.com

real nice peice! I'm running thier stud kit, primary fuel rail and Apex seals too. all from www.rxparts.com

i'll post pics of the intake soon.

 

I'm also gonna be trading in my GT42RS for a BW S475 and running E85.

I'll be running 6x1600cc injectors, which should be good for 750whp

 

heres some pics of the ports, and engine assy.

no top secret ports here

few more

 

more pics, updates tomorow. I need to be awake to head to the track in 5 hours

 

How much was the intake manifold, throttle body and top hat? Looks great! Cant wait to see some numbers!

 

peer pressure's got you coming out of "retirement", eh?







don't tell Speed NYC i said this, but good job to all of you bad influences.

 

Man i don't see how you can have such a nice fd and let it sit for 11 months. You guys have an awesome crew and i love to see how your car is gonna perform.

I've had my car for 6 months and its driving me crazy that its not running. Good luck again, hope to see it in action soon.

 

intake manifold & TB with o rings, TPS sensor, intake mani gasket, and all new hardware is $1350 standard and $1400 semi perif. its a direct bolt on and doesn't require any shortening of the manifold like others on the market do.

thanks for all the compliments guys

 

The build looks top notch. Looks like it's going to be a beast.
