Waking up the FD, the rebuild of car and life

[Oyvindjs]

Another day, more to be done!

Used the rest of the exhaust bandage i had on the mid-pipe. Didn`t even get halfway through it before i ran out. Well, something is better than nothing.



started to bolt up intake pipes etc to the twins, just to sort stuff and have as few loose units as possible





Discovered that the intake-set on the car was a trust-set. Im pleased!



Got my "new used" AST from ebay auction today. Unknown brand, but looks pretty good. Anyone know if its from a known manufacturer?



Found broken pills, fixed em with superglue






started to clean more old parts to make em look new again



HELP!
Is this ground in the right spot?

[Oyvindjs]

Dug out my spankin brand new upgraded alternator(left in box), old one right side



old:



New





Anyone else have this problem while doing work on their car? :egrin:




Also, snapped a few cool pics of an awesome moon passing the bridge here, and later going down behind the ridge:

then, this happened.....

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Well, time to revive this thread from the dead.... That engine i was being told was crated...? Seller = Legion = scammer! He yanked me around for a few months, and then vanished.. Then, with the help of this good forum, i got a hold of his name, adress, phone number etc... so i got a hold of him. He pulled the old " oh, its shipped, dunno what to say, blabla.. i will reimburse you", and i got half... then he disappeared again, for good this time, so i filed a scam charge through my bank. They reimbursed me, and took the case against the US bank and legal system.. That retard barked up the wrong god damn tree this time. He ruined his life for 1000 dollars, and that sentence will stay on his record for life.
So, i dug up another engine though the awesome Allrotor93. Cost me abit more, but well worth it!
2000 mile Banzai racing built large streetport 13B-rew, with TII lowcomp rotors, RA black superseals etc.. Banzai even has the buildthread on the engine, on their homepage, and it made over 500 hp no sweat.
Allrotor93 is one truely awesome person to deal with. He agreed to be my parts storehouse over there while i searched for parts, and got em shipped to him, so i could stuff it all in a crate and get it shipped over here
So, in that crate being shipped soon now, is

Banzai racing engine
LS coils
AEM waterinjection
Kaaz diff in the pumkin, bought from a forum member. Allrotor93 knew the guy and dropped by him to pick it up for me
greddy elbow, tapped for AI
new 6puck clutchkit
blockoffkit from banzai
dash pod
400lph walboro pump
pfc datalogit
pfc commander

and some more stuff i cant remember off the top of my head.

So, just about to pay shipping, and hopefully 3 weeks later, we have all the goodies here in the garage Man, i cant wait! Season is comming soon!!

Also have spent my last months in the cold winter, refurbishing the house, so that is 90% done too, but damn its expencive to own a house..

Aaaahhh, what a fine day it was indeed, and the perks of being single and living alone is the fact that you can take your work with you indoors if you want to. Started out abit chilly, but once the sun came out, it was superb!
Started to rewire my fueltank for the walboro 400 pump. 4mm wire(good for 30 amp), 30 amp relay, 30 amp fuse. 12V direct from battery, to a relay now powered by the cars original pump power wire. Alcatraz on the computer, and just chillin while i do the wiring work.





















Got this nice prepped relay socket to make relaychange easy business.

[Oyvindjs]

The dog is curious about what "dad" is up to



I love heatsrink socks, makes everything look so nice and clean




Prepped wiring loom



Took the fuel pump bracket out, and spotted something i really didnt like





Stock RX7 pump too that did this..!



Imagining this thing catching fire IN tank..!



Finally, the sun came out and temps went up alot!!

Drilled out two new holes for the power supply:


Grabbed some speaker wire with rubber that withstands chemicals, and added an extra wire sock on it for insulation

[Oyvindjs]

Drilled the holes extra large and added an extra sock for more insulation and making the whole thing stick really tight so it wont move around



Added some fuel and chemical resistant silicone to seal it properly




Also, cut open my front bottom cover earlier to make a cold air intake to my radiator. It scoops air from below the front lip, and straight to the radiator sitting in stock location, and from there, out through a vented seibon hood. Should be enough imo. I will also add some alu sheets to further guide the air.

I updated the fast fd thread, to inspire people to buy a performance box and test their cars, be them stock or highly modified. Listed a few twin turbo cars I personally tested and drove just for you and others.

Ye, saw it, i think you have sold me on the unit, now i just have to find the cash for it...!
Gotta find myself a few "cash under the table" mechanical jobs for some quick money

Love the work you're doing on the car. I'm a big fan of custom work, but I also love seeing simple clean up/paint/restoration projects too lol.

Also, Dennis rocks! I watched a Pit Bull for about 7 months for a friend of mine and he used to lay just like that, like Superman lol. I love that dog.

Another thing, I love being single as well. I do some of my work in the living room and I built my first engine in the dining room at my old house lol.

Hi man!

Thanks for the kind words!

Ye, Dennis is a little rascal indeed! He is a Staffordshire Bullterrier, the ancestor of american staffordshire terriers and pits He is a large male, and tips 20 kg. Still, theese small firecrackers went head on in the ring against bulls and bears!

Ye, single life is great! Little is more pleasing than being able to bring work indoors!

BABY, ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAAAAAAASSS, IIIISSS YYOOOUUUUUUUUUU!!!! Santa was just here!

The engine and all the goodies has finally arrived.
first of all, hats off to Allrotor93(Jonathan) for being an excellent seller! He let me use him as a parts-base, so i could get all my stuff shipped to him, and ship everything from him to me in one single shipment! I bought the engine off of him, a beautifully built banzai racing engine, large smooth streetport, T-II 8,5 rotors for high boost capabilities.

more bolt-on work:









took my steering rack appart and "manualized" it, as it was leaking anyways, so i tought, lets try manual rack!


found this thing hid away behind a ton of parts, thought about using it on an old project once, but i ditched the project.. Could this be a nice thing to run on the rear diff? Does the rear diff get hot when used hard?







started to get tired, as i was on a hard drinking night out yesterday, so i packed in and called it aday. Startup is not far away now. Man, i cant wait, the car has been sitting for 4 years now...!

[GySgtFrank]

Does the Tuborg come with the Banzai engine? If so I need to order an engine. Very nice build, we want to see it running. Looks like it will be soon.
