thats awesome man. very nice looking FC.

yeah, its the bomb huh? :)

it kicks the shit outta my car thats for sure.

any times?

not yet. after the 60-1 install the motor blew wile we were tuning it. It turns out that the guy that ported my motor is a complete idot, which i knew but now i have proof, and he made all the intake ports different sizes, there for giving me an uncontrollable air/fuel ratio between the front and rear rotors. The car should be back up and running pretty soon if I can get those 6port plates from COsborne :)

talk to steve and see about clearancing my rotors and the sooner I come up there to have the work done the sooner you get your plates :)

i'm working on it, he's a bussy man, and we haven't heard from him in a few days

what is an inverted hood scoop?

how often do u go to patton? i think we might head up again sometime soon not sure.

I never thought of putting my radiator that way!

i dont have any good pictures of the inverted hood scoop. My entire V mount is designed to vent though the inverted hood scoop. Here are some illustrations

thats just.... unnatural.. great but strange... kind of like uh oh oreos

whys it got a transmission in the engine bay? mid engine/fwd ??

At that angle, ur not getting enough air flow thru the intercooler to cool the intake air properly.

the angle isnt so much a concern as a firm seal on the rear... The object is to force air through the oil cooler, intercooler and radiator through the front air dam... Its a pretty efficient setup.

id like to see a real intake instead of the filter stuck on the end of the turbo

otherwise very nicely done :)

There is a belly pan that goes under the intercooler, not only to protect but to make sure there is a vaccum behind the intercooler on the bottom. I plain to create baffels to channel the air to only where i want it. So far with no baffels, for the short amount of time it ran, I was running intake temps of around 86f and coolent temps around 180f. I expect the engine temps to go down once we can finaly tune the engine and i get everything blocked off.

Stegall: its front engine, rear wheel drive. some people consider it mid engine though, because the motor sits behind the front axel location. Also preytel what picture did you see the tranmission in?

I was joking man.. lol jsut by looking at a rotary engine it resembles a transmission case... im famaliar with the rotary, and how it works and the setup and placement of the engine.

Classic ziptie mounting method

the ziptie allows for movement in the intercooler under driving conditions.. that sounds good right?

some guys came to fix our garage door today. First guy says "ay ralph, you know what that is" *points to 13b in 10,000 pieces* his partner replies "naw, what is it" and he proudly proclaims that it is a transmission and looks at me for my approval. Then says "....right??" it was funny :)

i'm laughing inside... no really... i am...

its funny when people think they know what they're talking about but really have no idea.

lets not speak of how rigged my 91 lx was. i shouldnt have zip tied everything on but i was in a hurry. its all done right now :usa:

I would have let his partner know just how dumb that guy really was.

you deserve a nutkick for not pointing out how dumb he was

just say "nooo, its a mazda rotary engine..." at least man

i said, naw its a rotary engine and he got really confused so I said the kind of engine in that car... then he goes " is it supercharged?" and I said no, twin turbo.

followed by "your a morron..right?"
