NWHTanK's Eclipse GST (AWD swap)

[NWHTanK]

The NDD rear sub frame uses a 3g styled control arm. So I had to make a spacer so as to use Volk rear lower control arms.

Drag strip is under way! It's like 15 min away by gravel roads from my house.

In a world where drag strips are closing down, this is really awesome to see!

I'm happy with the water pump delete mods. Hopefully I can find some one local to tig it all up.

Did a little bit of mock up this afternoon. This has been in my head for a long time. Did a mock up motor with the 1g Trans. Using after market 1g stuff and so far it looks promising.

 

[NWHTanK]

Couldn't sleep so grabbed a head, along with exhaust and turbo stuff. Plenty of room.

Glad I stepped in and went through this thread. The parts list is nice. Hope to see more progress soon

 

[NWHTanK]

Me to.

Electric water pump (Davis Craig 150) has showed up and Jon at TRE has taken the funds on the tcase build, I guess they finnaly got the order for the 300m tail shafts. It's gonna be a busy winter in the garage. Also received a shop tool CNC plasma cutter I get to play with.

 

[NWHTanK]

After a late night I got the old laptop to finnally communicate with the laser bed. I have some parts to make, like a mount for the plasma torch to replace the laser mount. Some wiring and learn the ways of the program Light Burn. Once this done I can make some brackets for the car with ease and less waste of material. Total cost so far around 600 bucks. Not bad for a home built plasma cnc.

Had a brain fart. The support tube for the front roll stop , It just might do double duty as a coolant pipe.

For info on the budget plasma cnc , go here.

Tcase showed up. And just a little tube action going on.

 

[NWHTanK]

Ran into some fitment issues with the tcase and the morose oil pan. So I ground down the casting that sticks out on the tcase and it slid right on.

 

[NWHTanK]

Had a good day . Here is what is done. Photo bomb.

Holy shit dude.

 

[NWHTanK]

Lol told you I had plans. Had to wait till I had the parts for mock up.

 

[NWHTanK]

After I mock up the fog light location. I can then delete the lower core support.

Yeah you did but you're freaking mad. I love it.

 

[NWHTanK]

Lmao

The three tubes going right to left will all be connected. The bumper tube and upper mount tube . The black tube( front roll stop - coolant tube) needs work. Bungs on either ends once finalized, a bung for the turbo and a bung for the waste gate and a mounting solution, which I have some ideas.

I'm doing something similar with the Galant right now. What core is that?! I have a 2G Mishimoto rad and a Afco Scirocco I'm playing with for fitment right now but I don't "love" either one.

 

[Ludachris]

Love the way the radiator mounts. It's so damn tight in there, radiator placement is tricky.

I cant rember if its a Sirocco or golf style . Bought it years ago. But I can get the dimensions. One of the reasons I'm using is because the core is the same width as 1g fmic core.
