Well i started doing my engine in hopes to reach a goal hp number. 450 that is i will update this page often with installs, pics, tips, and products used. I am building this engine on my own with help of GUITARJUNKIE as a guarding angel over my shoulder.

My first goal was to clean these rotors and housing to a point you can eat off them. Then do a nice streetport and modify the rear Iron . Everything in this rebuild is going to be new, GASKET WISE AND SEALS, RINGS ETC...

here are some pics i wish i would of taken pics of the tear down but who cares it the rebuild what we like.

 

 

450hp shouldnt be to hard .. looks like your doing everything right.. cant wait to see fninished results

 

well for the irons, i resurfaced them and cleaned them . Each one took me close to 2 hours to clean

The rotors i used CLP wich is made for military weapons its a cleaner , lubricant and preservative , A little bit of a non-harsh wire brush and time got them looking like new. Then i went over all the surfaces with 1000grit sand paper with clp to clean them.

The reason for the polishing of rotors is so it will be a lot harder to get carbon buildup and to kill time.lololo

theres no significant gains in cleaning your rotors besides knowing you will be a little safe on carbon build up plus it will help with the break in

 

That there's one purty motor.
For those that don't speak southern redneck, that means its a damn nice looking motor. Good luck with the rebuild, and are you planning on any type of AI?

 

so far what i have in mind with my guarding angel are these

Innovative T70
haltech e8


fuel mods i already got half of my list done just waiting for them to arrive
venom 750cc
bosch 1600cc
kg parts fuel rail
aeromotive fpr
aeromotive a1000 external fuel pump- iffy

for my seals i went with MAZDA OEM ONLY APEX SEALS!!!
Atkins oil control rings, side seals, springs, corners, fd springs, oil control rings. ....etc

for my play at hard tranfer i got
ACT 4 PUCK EXTREME cluutch from a fellow member thanks PEACHYKEENWIGHT

guitarjunkie- pulley set, solid motor mounts, and custom fd manifold


theres a lot more but i am doing this right and want to take my time doing it since i am doing it, also i will be running some type of meth injection just dont know yet i will have to see when we dyno some time between march and may of this year!!!!!!!

 

Looks like a baddass setup. I'm looking forward to how it comes out.

 

good luck with the build.. looks like it is going to come out gorgous(spl.)

 

damn el nene..... looking sweet! the twins are becoming even more twin like.... i just have to address my engine fire, we should both be on the road around the same time

oh, if you still need to know where to get the rails... www.kgparts.com

 

Damn, thats a true thing of beauty I can't wait to see what your end result is gonna be.

 

Looks good

 

Wow... beautiful, and VERY clean. This makes me want to rebuild my own engine. I would be afraid to possibly mess up the port job though. Awesome job...

 

why did you write iffy beside the fuel pump?

I have the same setup waiting to go in for spring (A1000 and FPR)

 

You guys with your crazy clean-*** bright orange FCs confuse me.


Looks good though.

 

Very nice.

 

good luck with the build! Its always exciting shopping for parts

 

Looks like a good start!

 

Lovin' it... Now the million dollar question is, are you stepping up and getting *new* rotor housings for your perfect rebuild? I've been thinking about a set in my next engine... Either way, it sounds like everything's coming together nicely--so I'm sure you'll reach your goal.

 

damn nice alex!!!! +100000000

 

you have almost the exact same parts as me.. haha.. Im aiming for about the same power in my vert. you Hella cleaned those plates though.. nice!!

 

lol sounds like evrything i told u im getting, ur getting o well we're family so i guess its ok. We'll take my motor aprt and clean it when u get here, since my dirty engine seems to bother u more than it bothers me

 

UPDATE!!!!!!

ok yesterday i finished all the removal of the A/C and HEATER units plus removed excess harnesses .

I also retaped all the wire harness under the dash and ziptied it every 4 inches. On top of that i secured it with clips to the firewall.

i have so much room under the dash now i can fit my self under there, hummm NITROUS BOTTLE HIDe OUT who knows.

Iwill post pics in a couple of hours

 

Damn, no heater? How are you gonna defrost those windows!!? That's if this car's your DD, which probably isn't.

 

cool, looks like it will be anice motor, is this your first rebuild? I want to build one for my TII for the ong run but it just had a remanufactured engine from Mazda Installed befor i bought it, i'm still breaking in this motor but looking at those shiny parts makes me wanna learn how to rebuild mine. One thing I figured is that, no doubt when i do rebuild I will use oem mazda apex seals as well. Take care and good luck

 

thanks to all who are staying tuned, as you may or may not know this will be a semi-daily driver , yup i am crazy like that...lolol
