i thin the US needs a MetalSupermarket...it sounds amazing!

 

You've got Far better places down there to buy from, a bit of online work and you'll fid a few places in any major city that do either recycled metal and/or have small job lot/ one off purchases. another option is to hit the local plumbing contractor supply store and order up some Weld El's .. in Sched 10 or if your lucky enoiugh to find them sched 5. Standard alloy is 316 and they come in sizes to suit both header and mid pipe /down pipe sizes

 

yay for an update...pics of **** that came:

 

 

sorry for the **** pics, but thats the best i can do :-) waiting on

Fuel Injectors: In Mail
MFINGSOBDAMNSHITPISS A/F ratio gauge, would have installed gauges this weekend but that POS is in the mail still....

 

wow, i hope this project works! good luck, and i hope the injectors work out good for you!

 

At least it looks like this one will actually get done!

 

well itl get done as long as i can scrub that turbo nice and shiny

PS: NO shaft play

 

How come you decided on e-manage? Megasquirt seems like a better and cheaper option to me, but I dunno.

 

haha
well, Aaron used SAFC so i figured emanage would work, but....
heres my megasquirt story (shortened)
"bought it now" on ebay for like 300 after spending like 600 on ym interior ****.
went to pay, card denied by bank, called bank, had reactivated after confirming it was me, forgot i already bought it, no more megqsquirts showed up, so i bought an emanage, got warned by ebay for noty paying megasquirt guy, ended up paying guy like 15 bucks to repost the item on ebay, now im stuck with an e-manage, and 15 shorter towards IC piping....
in a nutshell

 

Oh.

I wouldn't buy it on ebay anyways. I'd buy an MSnS kit off someone that builds it specificaly for the rotary application and sets up the ignition for the rotary. Ebay ones are just generic kits usually set up for pistons, especially the spark versions. Plus this person I'm thinking of tests the units out before sending them and makes sure everything is working properly on the osciliscope (sp?).

Anyways, have fun with the e-manage, lots of people say its a good unit but I'm personally not a fan heh. Just curious why you chose it.

 

You definately want someone else to set up the ignition on a megasquirt for you, unless a more documented kit is created for the FC CAS based system. Scratch building the necessary circuit is a pain!

 

I know, I find that awkard. Good luck.

 

thanks everyone...yep...this ones ACTULLY gettin done :-)

my goal is to make a super precise documentation of EVERYTHING from hooking up my boost gauge to installing the turbo...never know...maybe get sticky or archived??

 

and it all starts today...(its 12am wed ) but yep, it all starts later tonight......far later tonight....
