Looks really good. I really wish I could do something like this with mine.

 

This is all pretty cool, but not cool enough to provide me with the motivation to search through this thread to answer my question, which is...

is this bastard going to be blown? Turbo?

Keep the posts coming.

 

Have you read any of the posts at all?

For that matter... do you know what an SR20DET is?

But to answer your question... yes, it will be turbo

Sit and spin, ********.

That is all.

 

WTF is that?
******** huh? That's pretty tough of you.... you really put me in my place... I'm gonna go cry in the shower now....

If you would've read at least ONE post from ANY of the pages you could've figured out it was gonna be turbo....

 

Hey man no need to insult anyone , yes its a factory turbo motor. In about 6 months it will be a high boost monster.

 

Nice. You have my respect doing this on a real man's budget and in your own garage. I was looking through the posts watching the progress and noticed someone suggested this motor was going to be a low HP swap. I figured that it would only be Low if it wasn't blown. I thought maybe I missed something like, maybe, you couldn't fit the turbo somewhere. That is why I asked. Glad to hear this mother is headed towards beast-dom!

As for insults, we are all friends here, right....

 

+1 I'm good.

 

awww

hehe...

 

Lol awww

 

Is it wrong to ask for a group hug or is that too gay?

 

GOD DAMNIT
u stole my idea :[
tell me how it goes sir
some instruction after you're done
and tips would be awesome too
(might as well ask since im not gonna be first anyway)

 

one of these days when it is finally running (lol) im going to start a new thread on the base of what i have built with alot of pics and vids to show what a pain in the *** this has been. but it is so going to worth it to have a truly one of a kind car.

 

Give us a quick recap of whats been done, and what needs to be done.

 

damn this is going to be a long one.

Ok i will just amke a list with comments to keep it simple.

car gutted of everything rotary and the pcm and the eng. harness was removed.(easy)

custom modded subframe to allow a front sump oil pan and relocating the
steering rack.(not easy at all)

cut a big botch from the wiper cowl and a small section of the firewall to move the engine as far back behind the front axle as possible to maintain weight distribution . (not to bad)

steering shaft extended 5.5" (this was not hard but has to be done right)

battery tray crossmember removed

all factory exhaust has been removed and a custom built (by me) system from the turbo back has been installed ( that was fun)

a radiator from summit racing is doing the cooling duties along with a proform composite fan that flows 3300 cfm (easy)

a srt4 intercooler is cooling the intake charge going through custom charge pipes(not to hard)

a emanage blue linked with a eo1 boost controller all wired into a central 20 tuned ecu.

all gauges have been replaced with autometer ultralites including boost, oil pressure ,fuel press.

the e manage and the eo1 brain are in the glove box and the ecu is on the pass firewall

i made a 3 gauge pod for the center dash section and a custom holder for the eo1 screen where my sunglasses holder used to be.

lokar throttle pedal to replace the factory unit. hooked to a braided stainless cable.

cut a hole in the pass firewall to run wiring through

new rotora slotted rotors

custom throttle cable bracket

stock fuel lines ditched

optima red top relocated to the trunk.

custom 3 gauge pod in place of ash tray

eps brain removed from pcm and placed inside the enigine bay.

pulled the abs block because it was 4 " away from the turbo

the rear brake lines were pulled to make way for the down pipe

this is a list of things i have done so far, im sure i forgot a few lil things but that is the general idea of what been done so far and i will make my to finish and not done or bought yet list a lil later.

 

damn the 4 character limit
what i was really gonna say

sex

 

ok heres the list of things left to do or finish

driveshaft..i need a front yoke from a 240 and a stock d/s from an 8

gotta find a starter

need a wideband

run fuel line

run a return fuel line and weld a a/n adapter to the filler neck

custom fit some radiator hoses

finish my sway bar

cut 2 coils out of my springs. we cut out about 300 lbs or so in the front end so it sits higher

make a down pipe

run power to the ecu and all the electric goodies

wire up all the sending units for the gauges

find a bov somewhere

change the oil pan

find a way to wire up the eps to work..(power steering)

finish my mid pipe

finish the trans mount

make a brace for the differential

run new brake lines for the rear

get a 4 way brake proportioning valve

modify the center console shifter gate to allow about a 1/4" of shifter throw

run a clutch line from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder

hook up the reverse switch for the tail lights

and thats about it i think

 

so its almost done?

 

Hey thats really cool.... PSYKE!! Rotor power 4 life!!

 

getting closer but im pinching pennies as it is right now, so its a little here and a little there till its done. i want to be driving it by mid November if i can pull it all together.

and just for kicks i kinda want to build a bastard rotary drift car. like a old odd ball something with a bad *** rotary in it. rotary is cool i must admit....just not in my daily driven car

 

well, I hope the reliability of this one (the nissan motor) will be better for you...as I understand you've been thru a few rotary engines

 

nope just alot of hassle with one engine and all my own moneywith no waranty help from the stealership or mna

 

ah ok, GL nonetheless

 

JEEZE im so ready to see this beast up and running
as i said i was planning this as well
youre from jersey right?
we should def set up a date soon (no homo)
im north jersey though :[
im sorry to all the 8-ers out there
but i just cant see the reliability in a rotary
(with my rx8)

 

I'm in Florida
