like i said from the very first weld i saw of yours...you put a robots precision and consistency to shame

so glad all my welding is done by you

speaking of your stuff...whats up with those stickers man?? lol

very nice fab work

whoa whoa whoa..... I WANT IN :rofl:

Can that rubber hosing take gas on the outside of it? I know some rubbers get eaten up when summered in gas

Holy multiple fittings BATMAN! Just fab a simpler setup! You know you want to. It will just nag at you until you do it.

You could easily make a single fitting on a lathe. I might even be able to design it up on Autodesk for you ;)

If the pump in the pics is going to feed the surge tank why bother running the line out the top and not directly into the surge tank?(troubleshooting later???)

I would hazard a guess that when/if you need to pull the pump, it's much easier, cleaner, safer to undo the line to the surge tank while it is outside the tank. As opposed to trying to undo fittings inside the tank.

:smilielol5: Thanks man, I'll try to remember that..

Yeah, I sent ya a PM, we gotta chat ;) Cus ya know, this car isn't done, the FD is outside under a cover, I definately need to start a turbo 'vert project :rofl:

Thanks Dae, and no worries, glad to help out, now we gotta get into some really custom shit :D

As for the stickers, next time I see ya I'll let ya know whats going on with that.

Thanks man:icon_tup:

Yes it can. And for all of you wondering the Aeromotive push-to-fit barb type hose can as well. The exterior is the same material as the interior so it can be submergered. You'll see pics of that tomorrow...... hopefully.

:lol: If you wanna hook me up I'll DEFINATELY take one. It needs to go from a -6 female to a 5/16" barb. The 5/16 barb is the problem. If it was a 3/8" I could do it with one fitting but it's that fucking 5/16" think that sucks balls.

I thought about that but then I would need to take the pump out and disconnect it from the feed line submerged in the tank. I thought if I ran it on the top, things would be easier. Also welding fittings on a round while possible is more difficult. And if I can't stand the Bosch pump again, I can run just the denso by swapping some outside lines while I wait for a new bigger denso to drop in and if that happens I am going to smash the bosch, then pee on it, light it on fire, pee on it, hit it with my BFH, pee on it, then mabye blow it up somehow. Then sell it to someone on the evil forum with drift, slidez, etc in his user name as slightly used.

This is also very true:icon_tup:

Aight ladies, I'm back behind the TIG mask for another 2 hrs or so. Hopefully get the whole thing welded up tonight with the exception of the fittings on the cartridge for the Bosch

I need some dimensions. I can do the female -AN easy enough, what about the dimensions for the barb fitting?

mmmmmmmmm i like the sound of that :001_005:

and i cant wait, yay stickers!!! lol

I dunno, I can mail one to you.....

That would be AWESOME! Thanks T

meh, not exactely what you're thinking.....

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo with the exception of the filler tube, the mother's all welded up.... YEAH BIOTCH! about 2.5 hrs of welding and almost as much time spent cleaning the material becuase of all the humidity we've had lately.... really messes shit up. Pretty sure I had some moisture in the hoses as well :banghead: Oh well, on with the pix

Good pic of the sender. The top warped slightly, had to brace it from the inside to weld it shut then reach in and remove the brace

That's a hell of a fit huh?

http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_foru...1&d=1275980616


yup, straigtened everything with a little piece of angle on the side I couldn't reach.

http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_foru...1&d=1275980616

http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_foru...1&d=1275980616

Yup

http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_foru...1&d=1275980616

Last one. Tomorrow ...... no wait, this morning when I wake up the filler tube goes on, hopefully ready to pressure test by the afternoon and then when I get home, wire some fuel pumps, build some straps and fire the girl off......... FINALLY.

http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_foru...1&d=1275980916

Figured you have your bases covered but had to ask.
Nice!

How are you going to test for leaks? Just curious?

Any word on a trip to Daves?

I appreciate the concern..... seriously..

Yeah, and I missed that.... spent way too long fitting the filler tube so tonight the cartridges will be finished, pressure tested tonight and again tomorrow.... either way, Thurs/Friday I can get her lit. Friday's my only day off too so if I don't get her done Friday, I'm missing Limerock next Thursday and that's going to make me angry.... as in mass homicide of women and children and cars if I miss Limerock this year again.

The drain gets plugged. The fill vent gets plumbed to a pressure gauge, the atmosphere vent gets plumbed to an air regulator. The feed gets plumbed to the return, I've got a plumbers plug for the fill. Add air pressure, smoke a cig and say a prayer then spray with water.

I sent an e-mail to him today, basically Mon-Wed next week for me I could probably make happen, Wed I could easily pull rank and get that day off for the dyno, then Limerock Thursday. So I'm hoping to have some GoPro vids up by the weekend..... if I miss it again.... well, we've covered that :rofl:

Thinking of making a trip to the new shop to see the piece of poo on the dyno ... as opposed to just a comp test and a few beers :smilielol5:

i actually have no clue what your refering too...but i like the sound of it :)

and im going this monday for my tune...wish me luck ;)

when do you want the engine btw?

and if you get her running by this weekend are you coming out to rotormania on saturday?

Bah - you don't need luck, you got Dave. Just make sure you post up the results when you're done ;)

Dunno, as soon as I get the chance I'll be out there. The 'vert project has taken a new turn now that Sean cracked his front iron and decided to be a pussy and "go back to america's roots," :rolleyes: whatever that means








:smilielol5:

But yeah, definately want to pick that thing up when I can. Thanks much my friend

I had no idea there was a Rotormania... where is it and what time is it? I've got to work on Saturday so probably not :icon_tdown:

BTW - tell Benny to call/pm/txt me about this little PJ

You S.O.B. :rofl:

You better answer when I call today hater :icon_tup:

:rofl: I will, gonna txt ya my work number too JIC.

And I told you, I'm not a hater, we're almost done with one of those swaps here too. I just enjoy busting balls ;)

i think he would be more happy with a flathead v8.....

I think he'd be happiest letting me rebuild his engine, breaking it in for him, tuning it for him, and letting him enjoy tight pants this summer. pfffft - n/a boingers :lol2:

hahaha

oh im not worried about anything to do with dave, i need luck that i dont have a bad coil or my second set of twins took a dump lol


lol cool cool no problem buddy



yea its saturday in CT, i left the flier in my car ill post up better info when i can get it

yea definetly, i know he was getting ambitious about it and i suggested to have his junk welded instead of buying new junk for it lol

btw, i wanted to start discusing with you future power plans since i have no real clue about the topic at hand, im not sure which route to go on a couple things and i figured your the best person to discuse this with

man its really hard to keep things a semi-secret...you dont no how long it took me to write that paragraph, making sure i didnt give anything away haha

I got an email from Dave today, looks like I'm up on Wed :D If I wasn't working 8-4 (which means 7-6) on Monday I'd blast up

Sweet, thanks man

I think I know the one you're talking about actually, put on by the Vintage guys at some school to benefit some church right? I was hoping to go but between work and not really being ready, I'm going to pass

Sweet. Yeah, I'd bet that his rad and intercooler and be reused, then there's the mounting etc etc etc. It would be awesome for sure.

Thanks man, yeah if ya wanna keep it a secret, shoot me a PM or a txt. I'd be interested to hear what your plans/ideas are

:rofl:

You can if you want, but I'll just check out mcmaster-carr for some drawings first. To be honest you're pretty bad at mailing things :lol:. I'll let you know if you need to include it with the manifold too.

Yeah TTT, you don't need to send it to me. All I need from you is the total length you need it to go: Tip-to-Tip as it were (I thought you might like that saying ;))

Also the following will help me design the best option for you. Max pressure it will carry, biggest moment it will see (horizontal force exerted by the mass of the pump acting on it during a hi-g corner). You don't have to give me that information if you don't want to, but it will help me in designing the lightest possible adapter for you (assuming aluminum, can also do it for a host of other materials too).

sweet dude, are you doing all the coil tests that day? if so let me know how it goes, ill probably pick up whatever you say is the best that i can use with the PFC

yea that one, we seem to be going pretty deep this year, ill take some pics and let you know how it goes


yea well see how things go, i got him real fired up about it, it should be pretty badass, well see what happens i guess

yea ill probably pm you pretty soon, im not actually ready for anything quite yet....but i wana plan ahead so that when i am i can just order everything quickly and R&R everything in a couple days

Yeah I deserve that, but you did tell me you were in no rush. When you get in a rush, I'll be on it.

Yeah, maybe a little bit :rofl: As short as possible really. I think it'll be difficult to built though because it'll be a female fitting. Meaning the head needs to rotate in order to tighten the seal. Make sense?

call it 85psi
10lbs' maybe?
AL is fine. I'm not a fan of mixing metals, especially when submerged.

Negatory, need to get the girl back up to speed with the new injectors, pump, and coils. Starting at WG and NS and rolling up to 15psi NS, then turning on the sequentials and rolling that from WG to 15psi. So basically starting from scratch but with a somewhat accurate road map. The software in the MoTeC is incredible. I was talking with one of the engineers making sure I understood something - you can adjust the injector pulse width duty cycle if you will. Meaning if I go from say 4000cc's of flow up to 5000cc's of flow all I need to do is scale the IJPU (they call it) back 25% and it'll be spot of ASSUMING THE INJECTORS BEHAVE THE SAME - dead time, voltage comps etc etc. Becuase I'm changing injectors to some real ones, they will behave differently at certain voltages and pressures. So while I can get the scaling correct in the fuel map, it'll still be off in certain areas becuase of the characteristics of the injectors.


If you're going in, go balls deep ;) It's only about 20 minutes past my house. Wish I could go. If you guys are leaving early or late enough, we should get together. I'll be working a half day on Sat, 9am to 9 pm, 12 hrs, 1/2 day right? :rofl: Just like today


Definately, I'd love to pull that girl into my shop late summer early fall. Got a backlog now actually which is good I guess.

Chance favors the prepared ;) I like to get everything lined up too. When it's not, you find yourself touching yourself in the corner waiting on parts. Of course I'm in the opposite boat right now. I've got everthing I need except time. Right now I'm waiting on the tank to cool so I can pressure test it again. With any luck the girl will light off later today. Oddly enough Friday is my day off, yet I'll be going into work tomorrow @ 7am :scratch: Hopefully I can get home with enough time to get the tank wired, filler sorted out, straps built, wired and pumping fuel. If the car doesn't start tomorrow I'm going to ask for some time off, this is just getting ridiculous.

you know...idk if i showed you any pictures from deals this year ill just show you a quickie:

Nice, I know that gas station :D

btw - I hate you so much right now ;) I'm done welding, tank is holding pressure so I'm off to bed, actually the couch, I wake up easier when I pass out on the couch. Lemme know about Sat, I give the FC a 50/50 chance of being on the ground running. I sense an allnighter and a day off in the near future.

coolio! were definetly going, i dont no what time though, i know were meeting up in NYC first then rolling out all at once...theres more info on rx8club that i have to look for

but im definetly going, omar, bangkok, bunch of other peoples, that guy khris with the minty red fd

i no bennys not going since his car is in pieces...again lol, and idk if dennis is going since i dont think he got his car back from the body shop from repairing the damage from when he got hit

EJ's TTT rules 4 and 5........:)

What an unreal thread :icon_tup:

Only skimmed through a few pages, will take some time to look over all of it. Keep up the excellent work. :001_005:

ohh im so fucking happy!!!!!!!!!!!!

made some big numbers, hit my goal on the dot, only thing holding me back from making more is the twins

so do you wana no what it is??? lol

350 wheel right?

After those pics got posted i went for a quickie............:suspect:


350whp seems to be the magic number...:icon_tup:
