I made some more progress on the hardlines today.

 

thanks

i think need to get the tools you've described and start practice bending... I love your bay and the rest of the car with the hard lines... really really nice!

As you've already mocked up your tank with the surge tank attached to it... will there be enough room to fit a tranny and differential oil cooler left to the fuel cooler / behind the surge tank?

 

So cool! I really like the fuel cooler too.

 

If i need a Diff/transmission cooler I should have enough room. The problem is I use 2 different fluids for the diff and transmission as I have a carbonetic LSD in the car. I will see if a cooler is actually need this year as I will have temp sensors installed.


Thanks Tom.

 

fuel cooler is cool, you should make a little meshed duct since i'm sure the fiberglass and resin is handy at the moment

 

I plan to eventually make a duct. I will probably utilize a naca duct mounted in the rear diffuser to feed the cooler.

 

I installed the turbo today. I decided to get rid of the stock lock nuts on the turbo manifold in favor of some more stage 8 lock nuts. So Matt and I welded some tabs onto the manifold to keep the nuts from spinning. This is reuseable and will be much easier to remove without the risk of galling the stock studs.



This shot shows a good view of the hardline turbo drain we made last year as well as the turbo mounted.





Stage 8's installed.





I also got a super sweet nut blocker from SBG, hopefully I do not need it often. haha

 

Just be happy that you are not doing all of this stainless fabrication in Hawaii. On Oahu a 125cf tank refill of argon is $150.00. I went through 75% of it making my stainless Y-Pipe.....

I have decided that I weld too slow. :-p

Love the build!






Please tell me the Cosmo belongs to your bored GF......

 

Wow, that sucks. Thanks for the compliments.

Um, that Cosmo belongs to my gf,, yea..... That's it, it is hers.

 

Nice rx7! Thanks for sharing!

 

If it's a Euro Cosmo you are forgiven. Otherwise it's to the blocks with ya!

 

Can you show how you fastened the pick up tank to the bottom of the fuel tank? I really like this location and possibly will be doing the same set up lol I am stealing a lot of ideas man hope ya don't mind! Btw are you feeding those two 044 pumps with another 044 in the tank?

 

The tank line are pimp.. Show the pile with the bad bands ..

 

That's not what you told me when I questioned it....and I quote.
"The cosmo mag is my favorite. I love reading them, does that make me gay?"

We love regardless of your sexual orientation

Hugs,
Dan

PS more track videos less pictures

 

Thanks.

Whats the difference? I may have to check one out.

I just welded bolts to the bottom of the plate. They act liike studs. The surge tank comes with 4 holes for mounting already attached.

Yes, there is a third 044 in the tank.

Thank whatever ideas you want. I have no problem with it. That is what these thread are for.

LOL, the only bend that I had to scrap and start over was the feed line from the dual 044 pumps. I had to do that one 3 times. I was trying to route the line incorrectly with too many bends. Once I simplified the routing I was able to make what you see.The rest I got on the first shot. I am real good at bending lines *pats self on back*

I told you that in confidence! That's the last time I confide in you.


I agree, this thread needs more track videos, however I need a running car to do that, so you will just have to suffer with pics for now.

 

The Euro version usually has less clothing. :-) Due to the US (we) being prudes and all.

 

Wow awesome build subscribed!!!

 

Any updates ?

I'm bloody happy with mine TDX61 now smokes up my 285's in 1st, 2nd, 3rd easy enough
Will be crazy with E85 and more boost

 

I got the car started saturday night.

I still have a lot of small things to get done. I have been lazy with taking pics as I have been trying to get as much done as possible on the car. I will probably update the thread later with some pics.

 

Really nice man, keep up the good work!! Can't wait to see it all together!!

 

Just read through the entire thread, very nice build

So are you running a FEED Ti exhaust or Ganador Ti? Cause it looks like you have a FEED exhaust from your track picture.

 

Thanks.

I am running the Ganador exhaust. I sold the FEED exhaust.

 

Wow, looking great buddy!!

 

holy crap, sweet build.

 

Car made it to bryson city NC today, an 800 mile trip.
