Looks sweet!!

 

thanks man. it's coming along. this guy doesn't run yet. hopefully this weekend!

 

so thats yourrrrr car on their facebook

 

hehe

 

if i can be of some help--just holler.

 

what happened to the SS?
EDIT_ NVM saw the other turbo thread,,, cool,,, Im not gonna know what to do with my SCer when I transplant the RE into the 8,

 

Thanks OD. I think this will work much better now that the pesky electrical issue is resolved.

what's your plan now? and you'll have a space sc kit? or it's going to be used somewhere?

 

no Im going turbo RE,,,
I might implant the SC Rene into the Miata

 

Looks like a few of us are planning RE or REW swaps ...mine will be this winter

 

Rotr8 - S/C Renny in the RX3 wagon

 

no longer have the Wagon, sold it once I got it running right. Never really drove it all that much, so I decided to let it go

 

JFYI there are MANY little tricks that can be done to make this sc option work better.
1- hint--look at the air intake tube to the SC...
2- Look at the TB
3- look at the a/w intercooler set up
4- look at the lim
5-look at the fuel rail
6- look hard at ignition--all aspects of it
7- look at engine bay heat ( dont do any exhaust wrap!)
8- look at belt tension and % of belt wrap on the pulley
Thats enough to keep you thinking for a little while

 

coming along a little further:

 

went to fill up fluids and oops! oil on the floor and coolant leaking. both due to bad hoses that I didn't check. But then the rad fill nipple busted off while replacing hoses so there's a BHR rad on the way. (Thanks Ray!)

 

Good to see you wrenching some more...or are you letting Easy do all the work?

 

easy works??

 

LOL....

Guess that's where Easy came from....always thought that it was the other

 

lol I was hoping he was gonna sale that SC'er.

awesome builds though

 

yeah a bunch of people have asked to purchase the sc kit. but sorry boys, it's in use.

 

you reversed the flow ow water to the air water intercooler? The fitting on the tank appears to be connected to the bottom part of the intercooler? Does that work better?

 

^ haha i haven't tested which way that pump flows and forgot so it could just be backwards.

i forgot that you have the exact same one. is the upper or lower the intake to the pump?

 

Enough of this idle chit chat. Back to work!!!!

 

oh hai
