come on man, at least go with a 55r! its p-port for god's sake! lol the intake runners are cast i noticed, did you buy them from someone or did you make a mold so you can mass produce them?

Yes i was thinking to go that big gt55r. For my a street 3 rotor pp it way to big and takes allot off engine bay room. With a 45r it will make plenty off street able power and some weekend drag racing. Yes some off you might say that a pp is not that street able to begin with. I'm not looking to have a dally driven 3 rotor pp rex any ways.
Project update ... Currently looking for a clutch set up, Triple carbon carbon tilton with a custom fly wheel. To mate to my T56 http://www.rpmtransmissions.com/levelvt56.html
The intake set up is done by Rohan at http://www.xtremerotaries.com/main2/new%20products/PP%20Price%20List.pdf

Herblenny

^^Yep, That dry sump cover is pretty penny... To_Slow, where are you going to put the sump tank?? Inside the car or in the bay?
To_Slow
12-23-2009, 07:26 AM
The dry sump cover is a nice penny,but can you see how far down the motor sits in the bay?.:) Close to 1.1/2 inch down from standard fd 20b mount.
The dry sump tank.... I originally wanted to put it behind the driver seat.. But running the lines under the car -16-12-12. than gas lines -10-8 -8... lol
So it will go behind the driver oil cooler. It will be a custom made one, To get it to sit the best and have the most oil capacity it can have...
Coming this year to Deals gap with it, slight chance. Will be there in the Rx8...
2011 for sure.
I had this car with this set up in my head and in the part collection for 4-5 years now. Trust me, I WANT TO GET IT DONE lol...
Will have some more pics soon, At the moment placing all the front electrical boxes/ fuses and new relays in the bin. And removing about a mile of wire and connectors that it does not need... Not FUN....
Happy Holidays

If she thinks it's ghetto bling, then you should really find some sort of brand, maybe potato chips or something, that has gold as one of their colors, and then put their logo on all sides of your car, and put a lift kit on it with some 30s. LOL

I'm slightly confused here...
There is a -8 feed off the bosch pump. Is this is non return system? Or does the return line from the Bosch system T in with the return from mechanical system? I thought the mechanical pumps needed to be fed from a lower pressure lift pump?
What is the fitting on top of the bosch pump before the coupler fitting?
Where did you get that electrical connector? It doesn't look like the stock FD one.
Still an amazing build, are you planning on bringing this to DGRR?
-Brian
To_Slow
01-06-2011, 11:11 AM
The 044 feeds the FPR so that there is fuel in the system so the higher than normal mounted mechanical fuel pump picks up the fuel to start pumping. The return is a -10 from the FPR.
That is a stock fd connector and the longer fitting on top of the 044 is a check valve. so when the mechanical pump pick up it doesn't push back in to the 044 pump...
Hope it makes sense.

To_Slow
02-20-2011, 08:26 PM
Mind putting up a simple labeled diagram of your fuel system?
I will try to explain the best I can.
2 feeds 1 return
1 -8 AN feed from the prime pump ( in tank 044) to the FPR with a non return check valve after the pump.
1 -10 feed to the mechanical fuel pump with a check valve before the pump.
1 -10 return from the FPR
The prime pump is on a ON OFF switch, once the car is started there is enough vacuum /gas draw on the mechanical pump to shut off the prime pump. At the same time if the belt on the mechanical pump breaks I will have some what fuel pressure from the prime pump to make it home/off the track/ in to the trailer.
I hope it makes sense. if not I will be more than happy to respond to any ?? you / someone ales might have.
