So I know my opinion will mean a tiny bit less then a blind/deaf person... But the car looks spectacular.... Running or not I just want to stare at it....

I found a qoute from earlier in this thread, I think it sums up pretty much what I think you should do....

Thanks. I won't give up, I have too much shit specifically for this car. Would be a huge loss to my wallet too.

It's a pain in the ass to own these cars... They are like aircraft engines... 3 hours of work for 1/2hour of operation... But as stated before, when they are running, it makes it all worth it...

For some reason it is so much better then any piston car... Might be the fact there is no pistons... But either way...

I think it's worth the effort.... That is my opinion though....

Either way... The build so far looks so awesome... One of the cleanest S4's I've seen, in and out, and the engine bay too... Props for all the work you have put in....

Brian......That is a funny post you S.O.B lol...I still had patience then :)

Yeah it is still heavy even being all aluminum lol. My plans are: a 228R (228/229 .588/.588 114LSA) TSP cam, PRC dual valve springs, hardened 7.40 push rods, PCM re-flash by FROST, Custom over the radiator intake, 1 7/8 jtr headers to 2.5'' piping-to X pipe- to racing beat cans.

Should yeild close to 380-400 rwhp AND ft/lbs trq :o11:

Slowly but surely coming together

TitaniumTT

07-13-2010, 09:04 PM

What's a cam? It's that thing that makes those things go up and down and those other things rock back and forth and make those wierd things move up and down which moves the air that those slugs push around right? Or is it that thing that likes to break in half when over spun?

V8s...made for the american muscle car. Not for a car built around the rotary engine there murray. You know I'm kiddin tho haha. Its nice to see progress still rolling though expecially when you have a growing family. Oh and I may need the engine puller here soon to get my engine out again..

Hey buddy, thanks for letting me keep that in my gargae. I am gonna drop in the V8 in about 2-3 weeks.......if you need it before then let me know and I will install it sooner. I am just waiting on a tranny mount.

if I was to ever build a "reliable, cheaper, track car" then a rotary 7, it would have the new 5.0 out of the 2011 mustang, 412hp, DOHC, the GT out does the challenger, and Camaro in almost every way except for highest HP and one other thing...

11-14-2010, 05:01 PM

The Hate I was referring too was about the BDC sticker :P

As much as I dont "like" the idea of an Piston in the 7, I cant completely understand why.. the rotary is a very very particular engine... requires a balancing act none the less greater or equal too going into business with a family or friends... it can be done.. but there are some very unique challenges one must over come...

a V8 in a rotary is like trying to watch the football game and tune out the spouse that is nagging about not spending enough time with her... quite easy to do

(not trying to be offensive, but you guys get my point :P)

and besides, Sean (FC3S Murray) is doing a great job of converting it over... one of the best and cleanist swaps to date...

J.

FC3S Murray

11-15-2010, 08:25 PM

Oh wait........... that's right..............

Whatever you do DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TAKE A HOT SHOWER AND SCRUB TO GET RID IF THE ITCHINESS!!!! Cold shower and I mean COLD!!! To the point where you look like a woman upon exiting! I know that's normal but work with me here ;) :smilielol5:

So THAT'S why I still had fiberglass in my skin the other night after a hot shower LOL. I wish I'd heard this before haha.

This is a super clean build btw. I love the rotary too much to do this to my car, but I won't lie and say it hasn't crossed my mind haha.

speedjunkie

11-16-2010, 02:37 PM

Yeah, hot showers open the pores more and the glass gets embedded more.... cold shower is the way to go.

IMHO there are better engines to go in than a V8.... I would do something turbo if I were to ever swap the rotary out. Hell, I'm trying to think of things to swap one INTO

It's funny because I was thinking AS I was taking the shower that it should probably be cold water but I just said the hell with it haha.

I often look at different things I could put a rotary in also. I'd LOVE to do a rotary go-kart...or pretty much rotary anything haha.

Actually for fiberglass, there is a MUCH better way to go than a shower. Get some vinegar, and pour all over your arms and hands and let it soak on there for a few minutes. It will burn, but the vinegar actually dissolves glass. Rinse off and enjoy your day. Just be careful not to be called a douche bag ;-)

On the swap I was involved with we cut out the stocker rad support and rebuilt all the sheet metal in the nose to cant the rad almost all the way back to the stock bumper support.

So have you figured out what to do with the other 4000rpm of tach yet?

And everyone knows you throw the header wrap in a bucket of cold water, and wrap the headers, one it keeps itchness to below herpes levels, and it stretches so it doesn't sag like your grandmothers titties!

Lol.....you mean what am I going to do with the other 500 rpm left on my tach:fawk: This motor with my Katech rod bolts and cam will spin to 6500rpm with ease. Others tell me I can take it to 7K but my cam stops making power at 6600 rpm AND the next weak link in would be the valvetrain and rods so there is no reason to rev her that high.

MAN, I just read from post page 27 to now and I got to say.........you guys all rock. Even with me doing this "bad joo joo" swap, you all are alright in my book.

As for the FC, I have got a shit ton of parts in this week that are mostly fuel and exhaust related. I had to sell the RB cans to Project86 since the 2 1/4'' wasnt gonna cut it. I ended up ordering some Magnaflow polished racing mufflers with nice tips.

Project86 has my S5 bumper and OEM S5 TII lip and should be spraying soon.
A buddy and I might be welding my entire exhaust system ourselves since the only place here in Great Falls dont do good work.

A lot of stuff has gone down and this thread has been neglected. I will change that soon.
Pics will be coming very very soon.

Update:

Started my fuel system today. Its looks alright....but I work with what I got. The sender also bothers be but at least it is shiney. I am still waiting on my 30R9 hose to route to the feed and return lines. I had a shit ton of the russell Twist-lok hose left over from my 13BT build so that saved me some cash (shit sells for 40.00$ for 10FT).

Exhaust pics or BAN!!!!

One of my next trips through Great Falls I am going to have to plan to stop by and meet a couple of you guys, and see the car... seeing as you are just across the border (its only a 7 hour drive, I might just make it a weekend trip once in a while) and once my 7 is running fine and smooth it would be a great "little road trip" to take her on....

02-09-2011, 01:10 AM

That would be a good plan. Once the weather gets nicer and we get some damn 7's going I am hoping to throw a BBQ at my Cabin out in Wolf Creek. Maybe plan it around a SCCA race at the Helena airport.

Prodigy

02-09-2011, 01:25 AM

I might, MIGHT be able to get a few more 7's depending on date, if they are running etc... :P

Sounds like something we should plan for though... would be a great time..

Haha that is my Ghetto name for Great Falls. I live right around FC3S Murray aka Sean, Project86 aka Kyle, Haukbeeb aka Kyle. There are a few more of us Matt, Rett. Seans Uncle has an FD his Aunt has an FC. Lots of Randoms we have not met up with also. If we do this meet at the Cabin the Helena Peeps would most likely show up also.

02-23-2011, 10:28 PM

No updates recently boys. Ransom welded my Gas pedal extension to give the pedal more throw. Today my shitty 1998 Camaro throttle cable unraveled itself when I cut it to shorten it and put on a swedge.

I have started to fabricate my 4'' intake and when all the goodies get in I will start cutting.

Really just be pissed off and lazy lately due to the shitty weather and I am just tired on working on the FC every spare minute I have(or lack there of).

Brian was right: this project is time consuming BUT it has been very informative and for the most part fun. Oh if I had the time like I had when I was single :)

TitaniumTT

02-23-2011, 10:49 PM

Gas pedal extension doesn't mean the throttle will open more making the car faster..... GM owners... wow.... ;)

Sooooooo you're surprised a 13 y.o. GM piece fell apart? :rofl:

Lets see some more pics man. I told you it was a cool swap if done right, but so few people acutally take the time to do it properly as you have. I'd still rather see that ole' rotary in there though ;)

02-23-2011, 11:13 PM

wtf is with all these ppl and throttle cable problems? im using an OEM non-tc camaro cable, and it matches the FC pedal perfectly. no freeplay, 99% TP on the floor.

IDK man!.....I think the newer LS1 thorttle bodies have a smaller cable linkage which is why some people are getting extra slack in the cable. I had about 6'' too much.

Then my firewall clearancing for the JTR headers was a little extreme and caused me to have to bend the gas pedal since it was bottoming out and add the rod extension for the extra throw.

Been a mother f*cker recently

Thank Brian and I will post some more pics once this intake is done. I really wanted to do a over the radiator intake like the Samberg kits or Frijolee's FC but this will do for now. 4'' piping is big shit to work with:beatdeadhorse5:

Here is the latest update on th V8 forum:

Update:

So since I havent been posting lately DOESNT mean I have not been wrenching when the time allows.
Most of my work has been RE-wiring my driverside OEM harness due to me cutting out FE-01..which is needed for IGN power lol.
I have also been working on the little stuff that is just time consuming like: exhaust fabrication, muffler fabrication, interior assembly and new CHECK ENGINE lighting, throttle cable installation(btw the OEM throttle cable piece in the firewall can F*ck off..what a pain to remove), Gas pedal adjustment/fabrication, Fan relay wiring, flushing pre-mixed gasoline out of tank, driveshaft installation, tranny servicing, oil dip stick fabrication, hose and wire routing in engine bay, custom shifter assembly AND intake pipe fabrication.

Sooo I am still at work boys, do not worry 8)

UPDATE:

So things have been slow AGAIN!! This time of year is never good for me, anyway I have been working on the FC when time allows.

I have almost finished fabricating my 4'' CAI just like rx7builders. I just have to fit my S5 front bumper to see how much room my air filter will have near the passenger brake duct so it doesnt hit. I cant decide if I want to powercoat the piping black or not. Here are the pre-staging pics:

http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww213/FC3SMurray/charleebob004.jpg

I had to replace my throttle cable since the first cable un-wound on me will trying to put on a swedge. New one fits great and I have 100% throttle with the pedal to the floor.
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww213/FC3SMurray/charleebob001.jpg

Replaced my fuel rail Russel adapter with a Summit compression fitting...just not comfortable with the plastic clip on the rail. Not worth the risk IMHO. Really hating the blue fuel lines now...they may go black too.
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww213/FC3SMurray/charleebob005.jpg

Got my Willwood 7/8th bled....WHAT A PROCESS!! The only word of advise I can give for new members is to make the Master Cylinder Rod as short as possible(meaning fully threaded through the clutch pedal clevis). I have a tick performance speed bleeder so the job only required ME. It only took about 4bleed cycles to get the entire system air free. All that is left is to adjust the pedal throw come time when I start to drive it.
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww213/FC3SMurray/charleebob.jpg

I did get my Magnaflow muffler tips welded on my 6" mufflers (thanks Ransom!!). They will look tits!

Thanks kyle.

That knob gets you all excited doesn't it Kyle? lol! The pics dont do it justice and wait to ya feel the texture of the the delrin....feels like silk, it is crazy

No I sold the mazdaspeed knob long time ago. I thought about trying to use it but the T56 shifter is M16 in size...pretty damn tough.

Ransom: DO IT!! :)

Leave the Mazdaspeed knob alone, re-die the threads on the shifter.... but it is a GM product so be careful, it might snap in half when you apply 6-7ft/lbs to spin the die.

Why is there a dildo where a shifter should be? Ohhhhh.... it's not a dildo... it's a male same sex marital aid.... afterall, the car is now gay ;)

POSTED A COUPLE DAYS AGO:

Soooo another day of f*ing around and sorry, no start up vid yet. I plan on trying tomorrow since I will have 3 hours free in the garage YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Since I couldnt start it tonight due to my baby boy going to sleep at 6:30 and his room being right above the garage. Open headers would make him poop his diaper! However i did get some things done tonight:

Installed 2 grounds that I should have in the first place(other ground is on driverside). This fixed my cranking issue.:
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww213/FC3SMurray/charleebob021.jpg

Installed my Norris motorsports PCV catch can. Great product and nice qaulity:
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww213/FC3SMurray/charleebob024.jpg
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww213/FC3SMurray/charleebob022.jpg

Got in my black sparkplug wire boots....story on these is I ordered them a long time ago back when I wasnt gonna wrap my headers. Part got on back order, i forgot I ordered them due to all the other shit I ordered, they came in today lol. Figured I would sport them, they look good and to be honest I wasnt digging my red wires. :
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww213/FC3SMurray/charleebob019.jpg
Figured out my JTR bleeder location with upper radiator hose I was going to use. I ended up just rotating the hose and now the 'hump' is on the driver side. Now the bleeder is in the highest position.:

03-17-2011, 10:31 PM

Alright guys got her started......fuel pump was wired backwards duh!
Actually got it started on Tuesday but 5 min after this vid I got a call that a loved one was dying so my family and I headed out to WA. We got back yesterday.

Anyway, The motor sounds awesome and runs great. She is full of coolant in this vid since I got that low coolant sensor in that day. The vibrations from the open headers were so intense that shit was falling of my shelves and getting my attention lol.

Some parameters I recorded:

EGT's @ idle: L bank 400*F, R bank 385
Fuel Pressure: 65 psi
Idle rpm: 800-850
Wide band AFR: ......I was getting crazy #'s from 20 to 40:1 afr's...i need to calibrate the LC-1/XD-16 set-up. Maybe the sensor being installed 3'' from the open exhst pipe was throwing it for a loop
The hottest I let the coolant temp get was 195 on the GM sensor and my shitty prosport sensor was reading 220 in the passenger head. I may still have to burp it some. My fan never kicked on and I have to contact frost to see what he programmed my fans to kick on at.

All in all I am STOKED it runs!!
...you can see my dumbass here trying to bleed the coolant right after start up....it dawns on me 15 seconds later that the thermostat has to open up lol

Haha we can go to walmart and grab a fan to plug into the cigarette lighter when it reaches the right temp. Seriously though I used to be a mad hater on these swaps but your build has changed my mind on that completely. I haven't even rode in it yet. Get that fan figured out and get out there and Flog that biotch! Gonna be a sleeper. Normally people are very scared by the rotary noise.

FIRST DRIVE yesterday.....MAN OH MAN was it SWEET!!

Everything works as expected. The Integra speedo only needed a little tap on the head and then the needle jumped and worked the whole 12 miles. The cooling temp differances in my gauges cleared up. The C6 Z06 clutch is very streetable, I was expecting something a little harsher lol. The low end torque is CRAZY...so nimble when cruising and has good street manners.

It goes to get the exhaust tomorrow morning. I drove it down today to the exhaust shop to have them take a peek at the ride height just in case I needed to raise it for their hoist. Height was fine. They were CRAZY EXCITED about it, I laughed as I pulled up because everyone in the parking lot/block was rubber necking me:))

Got some pics of it today....it is dirty as all hell but I forgot how nice she sits. :yay:

Sorry, but I gotta say this... :(

The build started as a really costly build then turned into a V8 conversion.

I dunno why you went with the cheapie crush bent exhaust system, cause the necked-down bends are just hurting exhaust flow. :(

-Ted

I know I know but Kyle is right...no manderal bender anywhere. Not to mention the cost of labor I was gonna pay for using cut up peices of manderal bent pipe was gonna be upwards of 780.00(what he qouted me). The bends are not at all too severe, I will take a power hit to save the cash....I am a family man bro, money is very scarce when it comes to this car.

The entire car has been costly over the last 8 years lol, this swap was actually pretty cheap after all the money you rotary guys paid me for my old parts lol:rofl:

Yeah, I hear yeah, and I've been sorta keeping up with this thread.
I know you've spent a LOT of money on the previous build, and I gotta hand it to you to get to this point.
Sorry to see you had to go through so much to get to this point.
I guess my point is that it's too bad you had to cut a little bit of corners to get it completed. :)

04-08-2011, 07:54 AM

Nicely done Sean!

I would change ONLY two things

1) I would change would be to swap the MAF pipe. Meaning put the strait piece before the sensor, not after it.

2) I would've ditched the bdc bullshit irons, the bdc bullshit meth system, and stayed rotary ;)

OK, 3 things.... If I were you I'd give me your rims :smilielol5:

Thanks Brian:biggthumpup: I think it turned out alright:p

As for the MAF, last night I moved it towards the TB another 1.5" by moving my straight section of tubing into the 90* elbow( I had another 2" of space in there to move it). 3 to 4" of straight pipe before the MAF is within limits of Chevys requirements.

as for the rims.................never! Muhahahahahahahhaa;)

I guess my point is that it's too bad you had to cut a little bit of corners to get it completed.

Yeah it sucks but it is what it is. Who knows maybe I will grab Ransom and cut out the crushes and weld in some 2.5 manderal I have laying around. It wouldnt be hard. Thanks for the words man:grouphug:

FC3S Murray

04-10-2011, 09:33 PM

Well.........I take it back in to the exhaust shop tomorrow to have them remove the sections of crush bent exhaust.

I had no idea it was as big as a power reducer as it is. Should only run me another 160.00 for the replacement of the crush bends with good manderal bends I have.

Damn you ReTED ;)

UPDATE:

Went today and weighed the FC. This weight includes me(190lbs) and 7 gallons of gas(42lbs total)..................
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww213/FC3SMurray/FCweight.jpg

I am totally surprised! The company just got there scale calibrated last week and it only has a 5lb error varience WOW. I figured being the turboII model and having the LS1 would have made the car tip 3K easy.

I am happy :)

As for the FC, I have been driving it around like a mad man, getting some miles on the LS7 clutch and just seeing how the car reacts. I leave next thursday for the tune. :)

Yeah not bad at all. A curb weight of 2728 dry tank, 2,827 with a FULL tank(100lbs) with a V8 is awesome. The OEM TurboII was 2845 with full tank of gas.

Hehehehehee....makes me giggle about some of the people on the other club that said that this swap made the car WAAYYYYY heavier. :)

04-30-2011, 05:15 PM

Well we made it home yesterday..........it was a nightmare getting back. Old man winter HAD to have his last storm the day I come back from my tune!! Talk about a major pucker factor going over two of the passes at 5950FT with no chains(they were making everybody put on chains...we had none.

Rain and snow the whole way back....my car got some minor road rash :(

Lets sum it up for you with pictures:

Car loaded on Uhaul after cursing and having to remove some shit on the trailer to clear the front lip. *Cant open driver door once loaded since car is so low. You have to climb out the window....fun :'(
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww213/FC3SMurray/tunetrip001.jpg

Then the car cover. NOW the only reason I ran a car cover was last month when I went to Spokane for a family death there was a TON of gravel everywhere. I figured I would take some paint chaffing over rock chips anyday. Soo I put masking tape on all the "high" areas of the body. It worked too, the only parts that got chaffed were the sides of the A and C pillars, and the rear fender.

Without trying to sound like an ass... nah, screw it... I'll be an ass, lol.. I don't think there is much to say. LS V8 with 400hp and 350+ tq, its not really THAT surprising. I think you're car looks great and I hope you enjoy all the power and just drive the piss out of it, but I wouldn't expect people to be jumping up and down with excitement, lol..

There, assholish comment quota met for today!

Good job Sean!

lol i know i know, wrong place to post for congrats. I am just gitty I am done. Wish I could take you all for a ride in it, almost 500ft/lbs of torque & HP on the nose of the motor is VERY impressive in this chassis, just scary fast.

NOW you need to stop replying to people like me and get your FC finished man!! Send the wife out with her friends, feed the kids a ton of Robitussen and get in that garage and wrench all night.

Figured I would update:

Nothing too new....upgraded rocker arm trunions with comp cam unit, fabricated some new radiator ducting, added some hood struts and had it aligned.

The car is running fantastic and is still just a huge blast to drive given it has been a year and a half since the swap was completed.
Procharger in the future :) Muhahahaha

Here are some pics from early spring

Hi all! Just thought I would check in. Things are well and looks like things are busy here. Went for a little photo shoot with my new Nikon last month and figured I would share here too.

Went to spokane last week to get re-tuned after my head swap. Used Advanced Inductions High Compression "241" 219cc heads. I basically sent in my OEm heads, he ports and redesigns the combustion chambers to it bumps up the compression (11:1 now) and allows for safe Piston-to-valve clearence with my current cam.

THE RESULTS: 476.6 rwhp 430.4 rwtrq

I was very pleased with the numbers!! 51hp & 14 ft/lbs gained with a fatter torque curve is a great result for a cheap budget minded head swap. Nice job Advanced Inductions!

Unfortunately they didn't have the old dyno files saved from the previous shop so we couldn't over lay my before and after results. Here is the attached sheet (Brian is emailing me a new sheet that has the same scale for HP and TRQ, this ones a wee bit too high of a trq scale on the right hand side of the sheet)

Dyno was performed at Advanced Auto Fabrication in Spokane, WA.
