First Glimpse of our "shop" car

Hey guys,

I haven't really showed anyone else this yet, but I thought since it's nearing completion, I would give you guys a view of what it will be.

Here is a quick list of things that are done or will be

Complete wire tuck + all OEM wire mess delete
Coils in car
13b rew build and install
custom radiator setup
Boost Innovation's SS tubular turbo manifold + dual tial 38's and 4" full exhaust
custom Aluminium oil pan
custom intake manifold
granny 3 link 8.8 rearend install
all stock gauges + switches gone.... autometer in place
plus a whole bunch more stuff

GT4202 with 1.01 hotside


Compared to a PT67:




Polished Rotors


Exhaust flange


Here is the pile-o-**** that came off the car so far.... note the wiring..... that is everything from the stock harness from the seats forward


Well here is a shot of the new wheel combos for the street. They are 5Zigen's with Mickey Thompson drag radials 275, should hook on the street. Have a set of 10.5 full slicks for the track



Ahead of a low 11sec EVO


Here are some of the engine bay

Note the following

cross memeber for 13rew install
complete wire tuck
coils in car
radiator setup




the radiator is for an Integra... it is such a perfect fit.




in the next pics you can see the cross memeber i did. 1/2 cold rolled steel that bent in a press to fit perfectly. I am going to lay a strip of urethane down between the cross member and engine for mounting.

another thing that happend that i didnt design for, is that the tranny will just sit on the cross memeber aswell. no need to pull the tranny for engine extraction, and very easy engine installs. somthing that actually worked with bonus as well

OH yeah and since the fc engine sits at a stupid ass angle and not in the middle of the car, this one will sit square with the car and in the middle, **** like that bothers me for some reason




To be continued...

 

yep, that's badass

 

Nice pictures showing a rotary engine's rotor and plates. When I talked to Cobb a couple of months ago they said they were planning on offering an AP and other stuff for the RX8.

 

Here are some of the IC setup.








There will be some black trim around where the bumper was cut.

i can reach all the fuses and everything with the dash on, youd be amazed how much room is back in there with the heater/ac stuff out

uhi have toggles running everything, i did the harness from scratch. turned out very nice and clean + everything workes

can see the coils there

the spark plug wires will come out he driver side heater core hole and the haltech engine harness through the passenger side one






Custom Dash


Motor painted



Seals and Street porting:




More coming...

 

w00t!

dancing doritos ftw.

 

^^^^ Holy Mother Of God!!!

:eek4::eek3::eek4::eek3:

 

Custom 3/16'' Aluminum Oilpan...should hold 5qts





This has already been modified...






Like I said earlier, it was modified


Alternator relocation bracket


Motor in the car:







More on the intake manifold...

 

.........more! More! More Please!!!! Lol....

Omfgwtf..............

 

Racing Beat lower manifold made for Dual Webers. The intake is aluminized right now, but will likely be switched to Aluminum shortly. We are also testing the plenum volume question.






Turbo support bracket:





Turbo location:




Custom radiator piping:




Start of turbo manifold:





The manifold is being welded right now as we speak. I will get pictures as soon as they are available

 

Everything was done here, with the exception of the seals and the Racing Beat lower intake.

 

...........

That turbo is bigger than my short block..... :eek3:

 

Haha, it's about the size of the 13b too...spool is expected in the EARLY 5k's...supposed to spool faster than a 2JZ.

 

Mother of God is right.

Awesome build, I can't wait to see how this thing goes :eek3: :eek4: :eek3:

 

Wow....
That is going to be/already is crazy...

 

wow very nice. thats really a clean car. there ya go Nathan build something like that.

 

damn very nice

 

Hey, you should stop by the shop, I'd like to meet ya and check out your car!

 

that's bad a$$....looking forward to see it how it runs

 

wow, ive always had a thing for rotorys....now even more.

 

I just pooped a little, keep us posted on progress. I can't wait to see that thing fly.

 

where's that BLOKE! NATHAN!!! NATHAN!!! Anteater call'in ya out!

 

WOW, That is an amazing build! I love the FC body style, painted block, HUMONGOUS TURBO. Gorgeous, i cant wait to see the finished shots.

 

Manifold teaser pics:

 

Ok the time has come!











We are definately open to criticism as this is really the first manifold we have done. We realize we aren't Full Race, with an uber premium product, but that will be reflected in our future prices. The wastegates aren't placed yet obviously, but it will be utilizing dual 38mm Tial gates.

 

looks good...like the welding helmet!

 

Here it is bolted in the car:

 

This about sums up the thread for me

 

that thing is freaken huge!!!!!!!! what is that a nissan 240?

RX-7. Motor and everything was built here.

There will be a 240 soon though .

yeha that is impressive no doubt... Fobia didnt weld that one ha ha ha ha...

I will definitely be coming to talk to you guys...

all I am saying if I stick with 13B turbo then mine will be pretty much a clone of direct freaks.... if not I will be going 20Bturbo.... I want it to de driveable...

 

Thanks for the compliments guys! Our rotary guy is top notch. There will be an FB built as soon as this car leaves the shop.

We have kicked around the idea for a 20B in the FC, but aren't really sure about it.

As far as the RX-8, it woulda been badass! Putting in the motor that should have come in it in the first place.

 

thing better run 2's.. nice build

 

Looking nice, when is expected completion date?

 

Thanks!

Finalizing the fuel system today, so hopefully it will be running by tonight!

And not to get too off topic, but how's the Stealth comin?

 

Its coming. Should be track ready for this weekend hopefully. Still have alot of stuff to do.

 

Well, she fired up today! Sounds mean as hell. Videos coming soon!

 

came across a 20b with triple turbos on utube yesterday... got me thinking now... ha ha

 

Haha, go for it! Rotaries sound so badass...we had it running open header with no turbo and it was so insane...
