Hummm but you have any pic of tranny installed with shifter in 8 fatory location? Our car are for Street, Solo 1 time attack Track, for weekend drag and for hot street racing.

 

scott's busy making the intake manifold right now. hopefully it'll be done soon. i don't think tranny is in yet, and yes, it'll be FD tranny. i will upload the photo as soon as i get them though!

 

Here's some pics after installation.

 

so what happened to the progress on this?

 

bump.

 

cost? lol i'm very eager to know

 

as to quote the *** in ff1

too much for you pal. 3 rotor.

 

"More then you can afford pal, Ferrari...." but i like 3 rotor better haha

I have known Tito at Alamo Rotary for a long time, pretty nice guy. The last I heard is there is no more Alamo Rotary or it has been scaled way back. Tito owned a big piece of property that his shop sat on and a Super Walmart opened next door. He has been building a strip center on the property and is renting out all the space. A lot of his time is now being a landlord. Who says Walmart is always bad, it has made Tito more money than his rotary business ever did all just from the increase in trafic and property value.

Sorry back on topic

 

intake manifold done!!!!

 

sweet im excited theres some pregress

 

dang man, pretty sweet.

 

I can't believe you are still without your rx8... I mean at least there is some progress, but damn..

 

Looks good, but why a "square" design and not round using u-bends? Round will flow better than square.

many reasons.. main one being that the intake ports on the rotor housing are rectangular shaped. round one will cause lot of turbulence at the entry.

 

i need to start working out my lower back.

 

I think you should use a little larger turbo.

 

that's not a turbo, that's an industrial sized garbage disposal

 

it scared me when I came in from lunch......LOOK AT ME< I AM A BIG FREAKIN TURBO........GRRRRR......not that we dont have enough testosterone in the shop anyway.....LOL

 

That thing is friggin' huge!

 

so that is where the hamsters will go!

 

You sure about that.
I think it should be a large littler turbo.

 

You do! Yeh right.
I feel sorry for the person that have to make the jig for your manifold in the rx-8.
I was doing the same thing today with the same size turbo and now I think I have to get back surgery. I use to think that the rx-7 motor was bad on the back but after just a couple of minutes trial fitting this huge turbo, the rx-8 is the sure back breaker now.

 

how much do these weigh? i suppose the hot side is all steel? i could ship him a back brace
