Damn, didn't get started on the bodywork, other stuff came in the way...
Anyway, irons have arrived so i just need to try to port the junk irons and then i should be able to do a good job with the "new" irons :) http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...y/DSC_0479.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...y/DSC_0476.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...y/DSC_0474.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...y/DSC_0473.jpg |
Soo, my plans have changed. Or rather im going back to school after the summer and see if i can't manage to become an engineer. So i need to thigten up the budget. Wich means i will be going with T2 rotors (means i don't have to buy a flywheel and rear counterweight) and i bought a PFC with datalogit from a friend (got it cheap since i have helped him working on his car).
So to sum up the new plans for the engine: Apexi pfc S4T2 rotors Stock flywheel semi pp and mild streetport. Modified T2 lim FD UIM and TB with adapterplate to fit the t2 lim (i have checked with an old gasket and it doesn't seem like a very big project) Rotaryworks 2*2,25" header Custom 2,5" exhaust The only things i need to buy are the banzai adapterkit for the PFC and parts to build the new exhaust, so should be doable to get this done before school starts. Now i just need to finish my coffee, and go in the garage and try to port my junk irons and then start on the irons i'm actually going to use when i feel i'm ready. |
My new UIM :)

Wide fenders? Awesome!
|
Well, i will give it a go anyway..
|
Is that a special kind of light? If so, what is the purpose?
|
It's a sun tanning lamp, with UV and IR. So it takes shorter for the resin to harden.
|
Gotcha. I wondered about that. But I also wondered if it was to inspect certain aspects of your work or something lol.

some progress, spaced the widening plate out 20mm from the base plate, and applied some foam and tried to shape it towards the door, not real happy with the result, need to change some things, maby start tapering it inwards earlier.

Need to get my new flywheel from the states before i can set the endfloat and finish the shortblock. In the mean time i will get started on intake manifold and exhaust.
http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...y/IMG_2058.jpg |
So plans have changed, got some advice from some forum members wich turned me away from sequential throttle control, atleast at this stage.
Going to modify the T2 LIM(since it means i can use the stock fuel system, and i can't realy afford to fit that into my budget at the moment), and make a new UIM. The modifications i plan to do on the T2 LIM for it to suit my build: Fit a runner from pp's to the primary runner, and port up the primary runners from where the pp runner is connected up to the flange. Here is a sketch of how i plan on building the UIM(can't figure out how to make bent piping in sketchup without using a lot of time, so the lines from the flange to the tb's are supposed to be 42mm ID pipe.) http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/.../Intake/v1.jpg I have all the parts i need, so i will start on the UIM today. |
42mm x 4 flowing full time is a lot of pipe to fill.
You're going to lose a lot of low end power because the pipes are that big. -Ted |
Hmm, so i might be just as well off using the stock T2 UIM until i can make a complete new intake then?
|
Took a pressure test of the coolant system, and turned out there was a leak, the front iron must have had a weakness in the coolant seal groove, cause it had broken loose while assembling the engine, very glad i found that now and not with the engine running.
So new Front iron on the way from UK. While i wait i have taken care of some other small stuff. Pfc is installed and the stock fc engine idles and drives ok with the base map, decided to test it on a engine and sensors i know work, so i can be shure that any problems with the semi pp engine, won't be related to the PFC hardware. Built new exhaust from the header and back, used 2,25" SS pipe and v-bands, so it will be easy to take it down and modify later if nececary. Have removed the old speaker shelf since i wasn't realy happy with how it looked, installed a new sub, should take about 10min to change out the sub for the rear tower strut. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...k/DSC_0422.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...k/DSC_0555.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...k/DSC_0556.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...k/DSC_0557.jpg Could clean up the wiring, but it's not realy a priority. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...k/DSC_0558.jpg |
Changed to my spare door, and went from a lexan to glass window(finally).
http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSC_0551.jpg Hmm, i think the old window might be beyond repair... http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSC_0552.jpg That was easy, no special tools needed :D http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSC_0553.jpg Removed the unececary wiring from the car, only thing going out to the door is power window/mirror. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSC_0559.jpg Better than before, but i am realy looking forward to getting to the point where i can get it back to one color. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSC_0563.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSC_0564.jpg |
So got the new iron, ported it and assembled the engine with the semi pp housing, and the coolant system did not hold pressure. So i dissassembled it and found out that both the semi pp housings had leaks thru the filler used around the p ports, so i will nee to repair those before they can be used.
I decided to use the old T2 housings and just get the engine buildt and in the car, and then i can add the Semi pp housings on the next rebuild instead. Assembled the engine with the stock housings and the cooling system not held pressure. Shortblock nearly done: http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...ps49296dc1.jpg Started on the ITB setup, made a flange from 12mm mild steel. Still needs some more work to the ports and cleaning up around the flange, but that can be done after the runners are made and welded on. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4d87bc45.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...ps22225534.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...psa6af1425.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8cb65588.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...ps82e3108d.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...psb4980c97.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8fa52ffa.jpg |

Some stuff has happened since i last posted.
Car is now matte black, engine is in with T2 turbo intake (itb setup did not have enough clearence to the exhaust, so it's on hold for now). Also converted it from 4 -> 5 bolt. I have gotten myself a daily driver, so the FC will not be on the road and will only be used for one or two track weekends each year for the next three years since i have just started on a bachelor degree in engineering. Got plates back on the car, atleast for a couple of months, feels great driving it around again :D Ran a little rich, around 10 AFR. I have adjustet it a little and it now runs around 12 AFR at idle, and runs good enough now for me to get it to a friend with a dyno, so i can get it properly tuned and see what kind of power i will have to play with :) http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...pscfca68e7.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...psa1cad042.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5adcc314.jpg Adjsted the map a little and hit 175whp on my friends dyno. For comparison his Dynocom dyno measured 500whp on a car that got 600whp on a Dynapack the previous day. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...ps46e080da.jpg http://youtu.be/9x1xrD-nwvQ |
very nice!! i love seeing updates to build threads!! Sad that the ITB had to be put on hold, but it seems like you're having a lot more fun right now :D
|
Aerokit Spec D +20mm fenders to replace my dented stock ones. Hoping to get them fitted to the car in my Easter vacation.
http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7b9d71ee.jpg |
Finally made and installed a working itb setup. Should get it dynoed some time this summer.
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psgnr6k7lb.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psmluuybij.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psrdt6pqq8.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psieibfqgx.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps2eper3e6.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psmhnum04r.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...pstiaoapok.jpg Some short clips, before and after. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psea48laro.mp4 http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psvk3vqrff.mp4 http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps3w9zvxkq.mp4 |
Are those the 42's you were talking about?
They sound really nice! Aside from the really low RPM stumble on the last vid, the throttle response is damn crisp! Motorcycle TB's? I assume you're going to eventually go turbo with this set-up? -Ted |
Yup, just took forever to get it done, and the intake design changed many times...
They are 4*42mm tb's from a Gsxr 1000. I have changed injectors so the map is no where near where it needs to be, could not even get it to rev above 3500-4k because it drowned. Will fix it this summer, and get it on the dyno. Realy looking forward to hearing how it sounds under load at high rpm. I'm currently finishing up my second year of my three year mechanical engineering degree, so turbo will have to wait untill i start getting some paychecks. Planning on fabricating a plenum next, so i might just have to make shure it will be strong enough to handle boost in the future. Only issue would be to fit the turbo, the runners on the itb manifold only have a 30 degree rise, so the turbo manifold would need to extend almost to the radiator. |
Before i mounted the itb setup, i modified the exhaust somewhat, to get it to not make my ears bleed.
Improved the Y on the headers, wich was a heavy, ugly pos hack job, welded with the worst mag welder ever created, and replaced it with just a vband, also made and fitted a vband and compensator to a new muffler. I don't have pictures of the rear muffler, but it is a RB turbo muffler i got from a friend, and it is way better than anything i ever had before. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps3wuvvwfo.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psemj9udqe.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psdcjwfw0y.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psbuvq3wi5.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps7w1mcbtw.jpg Some videos, before and after. No rear muffler on the befor vids, gave it to a friend who wanted it on his rx8. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...pss5p7i8yx.mp4 http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psfthoilte.mp4 http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psoo2kfiv5.mp4 http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psmihhstt6.mp4 |
Got the stock camber link, Toe rods, front swaybar link and rear sway bar link into the computer, considering making my own adjustable ones since it seems like it would be a fairly easy project, and much cheaper (and more fun) than buying the ones available.
I should be able to make all of the rod's for less than the cost of toe rods. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps42th1ut5.png |
:icon_tup:
|
Toe link drawn up like all the other aftermarket ones i have seen. But it seems the stock rod is designed to avoid to much of an angle on the balljoints, and this design on the adjustable ones seems kind of lazy and worse than the stock setup.
So i think i want to make my design look more like the stock one than the aftermarket ones... http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psxfcpoctk.png |
