1986 NA build - budget rallycar/road car

[Fidelity101]

god damn this is old...

that engine is long since dead.

updates!

know what that is?

its porting templates!

so I got more practice lapping and began practice porting, fun mistakes happened and etc.

looks like this:


and the housings are now painted!

front cover is primed and I sanded off the 13b mazda on the housings, looks cool.

thats the engine build table, so thats what the engine will look like, black and blue sandwich plates


soft seals for rebuild from rotary aviation (more aircraft grade RE stuff)

and the good/reusable hard seals/springs, rotary aviation apex seals

there is an excess of seals and springs and within spec from tearing down sooo many motors.

I should probably just build a 2nd motor....

updates!

ported the exhaust housings and put in turbo exhaust inserts, nice and flow friendly

ported vs stock port with the inserts out



cleaned up, inserts in




much better than this:

they put those in the NA ones for noise suppression, more like exhaust restriction...

megasquirt is on the way as well as some rebuild gaskets.

MARCH OF 2010

spring break 2010~!



fully assembled in the kitchen/living room (small place)

and yes my roommates and I like to party...

Megasquirt2 vb3 w/ goodies for ignition and fuel? hrmmmm okay lets give it a shot



but the engine is in the car mounted up fluid filled and etc.

but the body harness is shot which makes things impossible at times...

so with coincidentally I needed a new gauge cluster I decided to finish the wood theme...

Fuel level, h20 temp, oil pressure, tach, wideband. (KISS - keep it stoopid simple)

sicc, right? I thought so :P GO WOOD OR GO HOME LOL!

long story short I have a history of bad luck with electronics so I decided to go this route instead. (and STILL with a bad body harness)


Mikuni 44 PHH racing carb

current engine bay:


current driving condition of rally vehicle.


2 KC 100W spotters and 2 KC 100W fogs, turns night into day and makes it seem that God is coming down your street.


next step/pre ice racing season work:

turbo drivetrain and brake swap from this donor car:
BEFORE-ish

AFTER


powder coating rear suspension, powdercoating front LCAs, powdercoating rear wheel uprights, reinforce diff, poly suspension/diff bushings.

started on it already but I have ALOT more work to do including replace bearings/bushings:

mount studded snow tires on factory turbo wheels
(pics soon to come)

but most importantly REWIRE CHASSIS! clean up the gawdy engine bay wiring as well as remove the useless wires that are in the car doing nothing.
