Are you leaving the upper section of the core support?

I cut mine out last August along with the frame rails, looks so much cleaner.

 

[daplatano91]

Yeah I just checked your pictures in your profile. That does look alot cleaner and you have one good looking bay. I'm probably going to leave it as is for now and cut it out later on in the build process.

 

[Spyderman7]

Have you figured out how your gonna fab in the front crossmember/motor mount yet?

Looks great so far keep it up .Thanks for the props on my front end,it was alot of headaches but turned out great.

I find this very intrerresting to read, please tell us more, and ###, more pixs

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

I love the RX7 15" wheels with that much meat hanging on them. Looks awesome!

 

[daplatano91]

Thanks Matt it does look pretty agressive huh
Here is some pictures of the fuel cell in and both oil coolers mounted. Big progress will come Wednesday and Thursday. I'm going to marry the motor to the transmission and give them a new home =]

 

[daplatano91]

More updates the motor and trans are finally in. Can't wait to get the turbo manifold. Next week I'm going to tackle the harness.
Here's some more pics enjoy!

[907dsm]

[98tsifwd]

[1SLOW93TURBO]

Just curious... I notice your kiggly flexplate was bolted to the converter incorrect was that just a pic or is that how you installed it?

Here's a link to his instructions

[daplatano91]

The converter plate was installed correctly. I just set the plate on for the picture to showcase the bolts I had made. I'm hoping to have the car on the track by May/ June.The details on the transmission I would have to look over my receipt.

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

Looks great!

Just curious what kind of throttle body your running and also what kind of suspension?

 

[daplatano91]

New update! I just got a phone call that my jmfab manifold is in. So the maifold and turbo will be on this week. Ill take pictires as soon as I can.
The throttlebody is a q45. Suspension is megan coilovers with energry suspension bushings around the whole car. Still debating on either 10 or 12 point rollcage.

Got cha, thanks for the info. I will be looking forward to seeing some pics of the turbo and manifold.

 

[daplatano91]

Well guys lots of progress over the last few weeks. Too much to list all but the short list turbos on all fuel setup is together just waiting on waste gates and inter-cooler piping to hear her purr

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

Man, that's a big turbMG Gotta love the hood exit exhaust too! This is definitely one of my favorite builds. Can't wait to see more. Good luck!

 

[daplatano91]

Yeah the thing is a monster I couldnt even fit the half rad in front of it. I had to gut my headlight and make a slot to mount it where it is located

Yeah, I see how you did that... I like that!

 

[Purple_Demon]

I See on page 1 that you have a velocity style stack insert on the compressor housing inlet, wouldnt mind sharing where you picked that bad boy up?


Build looks great btw!

 

[daplatano91]

That's actually how the new Borg Warner 9.5" race covers are designed nothing custom going on with it

 

[Purple_Demon]

Haha thats sweet man, it looks damn good. Makes me jealous

 

[daplatano91]

Fitting together the intercooler pipes. Cleaned up the harness some more. Deleted all of the interior harness minus what was needed for the rear lights and dashboard. Forgot to take pictures of interior and stock fan that I messaged to fit over half rad.

 

[wvturbo2]
