FD3s - Part 2.

Yea thats the mezz area, all sorts of stuff up there.

^^ Any random Honda goodness?

I got rid of it all already, plenty of dumpvavles and random oem intercoolers and rads, rear diff for a scooby, few exhausts and alloys for random stuff.

nice update sounds like its gonna be a hog!

Update: Exedy clutch ordered, set of rear drift slut rims to abuse (compomotives off the westons drift car 18x9 et10) that ill paint dayglo orange, fuel pressure red and 255 race pump on order to fuel this beasty.

Question: do i fit the gauges into the passenger side dash or mount them in pods on the top angled towards the drivers side?

pods are goood!

pod's all day long

Evening, just thought i'd let you know of the progress....
Picked up the engine casing yesterday, Internals have been ported out massivly, inlet throttle bodies are ported to match the engine and turbo, air inlet throttle body has been bored to let in TWICE the amount of air then stock and the restrictive butterflies and throttle heating are gone.

After:






Other then that i've finished fitting the pods, dished steering wheel, oil catch can, heat guarded most of the firewall, master cylinder, did a little relay and wire tuck down the front, fitted the rear diffuser and sprayed up the bumper and spoiler, wound the coilovers down at the back another 1cm, removed all the audio (wont need it let alone hear it) removed the rear window tint, sprayed the inside exposed bodywork in satin black and overly chav torqueflow decal.






Its pritty much there on the outside now just need to paint the roof.
Inside ive got new mazdaspeed seats to fit, blank off the double din hole and mount the commander and boost controller in it and then its all the engine work
to do, Order the race spec internals, put it all together, mount the turbo, install all new braided lines to brakes and clutch, fit greddy intercooler in the front, rad behind with two large fans on both and possibly a small one on each of the coilovers, drop the engine into its new solid drag spec mounts, new exhaust downpipe, screamer pipe to exit into the drivers side air vent (stealth from cops .. if thats possible) then its onto the tune and an output of 400 to 500 bhp.
Now... i need a job to fund this rotary rocket bunny.

i like the new spolier.

So the ball is once again rolling since i got some temp work here in Thetford and i've ordered a bunch of bits:
Engine internals - secret spec so no more rebuilds
1000cc Secondary Injectors
Bosch 044 fuel pump
2Ltr Fuel Swirl pot

Im also looking into a paddle clutch as the stock one is only good to 350ish bhp and the lighter fly i have will suit a 6puck or something and maybe a different set of alloys with an offset of et10 to fill the arches better then the advans.

That is all.

Love this pic all it needs now is a flux capacitor and youll be rocking with Marty the Doc...

Some great build up here mate, why cant I build an engine like this, so what the plan moving forward when will we see this skidding about??

also whats the plan with the garage??

You cant build and engine like this because your not the jdmstig (driving a fekkin golf) and you respect your bank account a bit more then me?

Moving forward its going to be all about the engine, clutch, gearbox, diff (its a 2 way lsd but the casings get weak over 500bhp so that will neeed bracing, the engine will be tuned by me a little and then ramped up by someone who i've worked with before that will get the most out of it but anything between 500, 600 bhp is the aim.

Garage news : Waiting for the building owners to come back with a price and a plan and then im golden.

Fantastic news mate, I hope all goes to plan with the garage.

So the block it's self has it been forged yet??

The block has been ported to a semi brapping level, good for racing but can also be driven round town, the clutch might not though depending on what stage i go for.

Time scales on the build or is all down to budget??

BTW i love your avatar made me chuckle!!

Down to money and how fast it falls into my bank account

Well the pump and swirl pot have arrived and my god the fuel pots the size of a 2ltr bottle of coke, its fekking massive.

Great car buddy!

well, engine is actually going to start being build in january.... bout time really huh.

what should i do with 3 grand?

construct some kind of scaffolding to support that MONSTER turbo. i have to say it was about 3 times bigger than i expected

It eats t28's for a light snack before lunch.

Right.... little update, ill be making a build page on the website of rev it for this as its going to be a good un.
In a nut shell im spunking 5k on the rx7 to get it ready for jae and next year its going racing.

All the bits have been ordered for the engine, japan got hit so hard it called australia for backup.
brakes, pads, braided brake and clutch lines, bride seat rail (not sure on seat yet) and a few other bits are paid for and on the way.



500bhp or bust!

I just keep thinking about this with rx7's
