hey sorry for no updates in a while, the car has been at my mates shop for a couple of months now but hasnt been touched due to the christmas/ new year period and pure lazyness totally out of my control but once the wiring and fuel system is complete and from what i can see it isnt far away. i guess it has taken a while because the harness had to be completelly remade from scratch as i didnt want any of the wiring visible and everything was relocated under the dash.

yes i have custom lines routing into and out of the factory oil cooler, we used Speed Flow fittings for this and the whole car.

Hi Chris, let me just say i think your car is freakin awesome your setup and power is amazing.

my intercooler is a PlazmaMan cooler from their rx7fd Front mount kit.
im hoping to enjoy it real soon, as soon as i get it started ill post a video.

my oil pan doesnt sit too low, the clearance is just above the crossmember so i am safe from any road damage, i used the oil pan from a first gen rx7 and it works fine, my engine sits in the exact same location as the renessis did, i had to make up a custom lower intake manifold for the inlet plenum and throttle body to clear the fire wall.

Sweet LIM, I used the 20b and shortened it. I also used a RX7 FD throttle body.Thanks for the info on the first gen oil pan-I'll check it out because mine sits dangerously low-about 2-3inches down more from the crossmember. BTW, exactly which oil pan did you use(12A, 13B N/A turbo?) because I've never seen one before. Perhaps you have a picture of it? Thanks!!!

i have combined the front cover and oil pan from the 12A turbo, unfortunatelly the oil pan wont fit your car as you have a different front cover.

Thanks for the info man. I predict your car will put out some really nice power figures btw...its an amazing setup and the attention to detail is ridiculous :O

Post up some more angles of that engine bay...its like fabrication ****...hehe

Good luck with the project.

Chris, what size exhaust are you running, any chance you you can list the specs or post any pics, i need some ideas on what to do for my car, at the moment all i have is a 4" dump.
ill put up some more pics of my engine bay soon.

I have 4" all the way to just past the differential and then it splits into two 4" straight through mufflers before going to two 5" tips that were made form diesel truck tips (shortened 2" in length for fitment).

Here are some pics.

I also added a pic of a "exhaust noise control valve" that I can actuate from inside the car with a switch. It has 10 .25" holes on the face of the butterfly so the car breathes through there when it is closed. It seriously makes the car as quiet as stock, I am not kidding....no boost though...or power for that matter...not even 1psi...hehe

It looks like your custom exhaust can swallow the OEM)) Upload sound clips.

wow that is one sexy exhaust? any chance you can make me one (3 inches dough) how much?

GRUMP8

chris your exhaust looks realy good, i bought the same elecric valve for mine but was wondering how many holes i would need to drill and what size, but not any more thanks. do you have ground clearance issues where the exhaust goes past the diff, when i trial fitted a piece of 4" it just didnt look like it would fit at all.
any chance of a photo of that with the car on the ground

ChrisRX8PR

Ask and thou shall receive!...hehe...its at night though...hope the pic helps. The exhaust does not go directly under the diff, if you look at the pics arcs around the bottom of it...and yes it is about 1/2" from all adjacent objects in there to maximize clearance so make sure and put plenty of supports if you don't want to hear rattling. Its not clear in the pic but it has plenty of clearance, you will scuff the front lip before you scrape the exhaust if it is placed properly.

I have only scratched on the ground once and it was going about 70mph and there was a pronounced divet on the road and the car dipped but I have a feeling that even with any other aftermarket exhaust it wouldve done the same because it was a pretty big dip. Regardless, all it did was just rub a little on the Vband clamp, no damage.

Best regards,

Chris
