dragon havent made a 4 rotor so that above comment is rubbish lol!
WGT made a 4 rotor and guy uses it in sweden for time attack and as far as i has had no issues...
if you were gonna run a rotary for a race car i would be seriously concerned about noise limits... its very hard to make a...
google it or go back a couple of pages... basically the intercooler is flat on top like mine and the rad sits at a 45 degree angle to it... the sides then get ducted in so the air gets rammed through the front of the car and the only way it can go is through the rad and the intercooler...
updates :D
fueling completed (engine side... still need to work out where im gonna put the fuel filter :(
also did the intercooler piping today (COMPLETE ball ache!!) i have spent far to much on frigging hoses!!
just got to get a couple parts ali welded... and it SHOULD start!
its a periphial port 4 rotor, they idle at 3.5-4k, it wont be making much over 450bhp as its na, pretty much all 4 rotors sound like that and rev so quick its mental... to build a 4 rotor engine just to buy the e shaft (basically the crank) your looking about £14k then you need 2 20b centre...
the amuse s2k is being done by a guy who has a rx7... the rx7 he has made a custom body kit for and it will be the widest fd3s anyone has ever made! its stupidly wide and he is running 12" wide wheels on the front lol!
guy on fduk... he had a white rx7 that he imported, had a load of work done and on driving it home from the garage it set on fire and burnt to death :( luckily the garage helped out with sorting him out....
so he purchased a stock clean car in japan then did pretty much everyones dream and...
doubt it will be tomorrow, or if it is, it will be a brief turn on turn off lol! i need to get the alloy rad bottom hose altered slightly and have a new stub welded on it before i can fill it with coolant, plus there is a complete c**t of a fuel hose im trying to undo!
i removed the fuel...
just finished chopping and wrapping the loom :) will be back on the engine tomorrow :) gotta sort fuel lines, oil drain for turbo and a couple water lines and we have power :D
Billet rotors can now run 19k rpm!!! But goodbye £10k on the rotors alone lol well a build with billet rotors is about 15-20k all in.... But 15k safe daily rev limit and 19k when needed lol
rb26 is just as fragile as a rotary! 2jz is ok but its wrong to put one in a rx7... i thought about a ls1 v8 but so much money and takes away the soul of a rx7...
no need to go elsewhere, other engines wouldnt get power so easy... the rotary is simple plus neither the rb26 or the 2jz will...
hnmmm its not really boso though... most boso cars have good paint and are actually good cars... this is like rat on a jap car with some boso styling lol.... plus chinese calendars loose points on the jap scene lol
mate of mine is having computer issues, his laptop wont back up his iphone itunes is just having a benny.
he wants to back up his iphone so everything on it sort of thing... can he plug it in to his gf's laptop and back up everything like pics and apps and numbers etc?? i know music wont go...
wish i could be in japan tomorrow, dalla if your out and about its 7's day... 7th of the 7th... day for rx7's in japan there are hundreds of them meeting up all over the country :) there is a 7's day in the uk too tomorrow and i really wish my car could be there :( oh well... next year
tbh mate, i have seen tommei and hks manifolds that cost 600+ and they crack too... take it off and get it welded...
pretty much all of the manifolds you can get in the uk are made in the same factories in china lol
im running stretch on them, smaller profile as i can and then close to the arches without bottoming out the bumper of the car lol.
and yes they are enkei racing wheels...
i dont see how if im injecting water before the turbo in the centre of the air filter, then its sucked through the compressor which means the water will atomise then get dispersed even more... then is rammed through the intercooler and in to the throttle body then the upper inlet manifold...
the pics of the wheels that are on here they are dirty lol... they do clean up well... the rims can be polished up pretty easy, i just need to get to a powdercoating place and see how much they gonna charge if i drop the centres out then i can take the barrels home and polish them up...
here...
i need to get new rubber before i can drive it so if i have the time im gonna refurb them too... but time and budget will tell!
dont care if people dont like them i do :P
small update...
rad and the intercooler pretty much fitted! also made and fitted my oil feed! not as easy as i expected... but looks good :)
line fitted :)
also fitted the downpipe!
got to work out what to do with the relay box :/
what it will look like from the front (sides will...
