Looking good mate!:thumbs: :)
the intake manifold and de-jetro will be put on my standard engine first while i sort out the rebuild, got loads to do, finnish the body kit, welding the rollgage suport plates, then theres the adjustable rear camber/caster arms, where do i start:wack:
:eek:
so there is no budget then:D
What are you going to be using the car for?

decided to have a go fitting my new plenum
http://premium1.uploadit.org/nollett123//DSC00700.JPG
http://premium1.uploadit.org/nollett123//DSC00698.JPG
as you can see the boss for the temp sensors is to close to the thermostat housing and will need to be plugged and i will fit the sensors into 'WATER TEMP SENDER PORT SLEEVE' from GAUGEPLACE
http://premium1.uploadit.org/nollett123//DSC00699.JPG
modding the fuse box to give me more room
http://premium1.uploadit.org/nollett123//DSC00701.JPG
http://premium1.uploadit.org/nollett123//DSC00702.JPG
i have cut it flat and will mount it closer to the wing on a flat plate, had to do this as it fouled the throttle
what make is that manny? can you use the origanal injectors, fuel rail, ICV etc, etc with it:confused:

the ivc needs a simple mod, the fuel rail needs cutting so the fuel feeds from the left hand side:nod:
if your good with your hands YOU CAN DO IT:D
Looks good but where did you get that intake manifold ?

very nice indeed. That manifold looks well made, what are your thoughts after fitting?
very nice indeed. That manifold looks well made, what are your thoughts after fitting?
its not all done yet, i need to make a new cold pipe, and a few other things, it does seem well made the only big problem is the temp sensors fowling the thermostat housing

That manifold looks like it takes top feed injectors rather than side feed.

takes the standard fuel rail :nod: found you just need to bend the metal feed pipe a little as it hits the manifold:)
well had to mod the fuel rail but it fits and made a suport that also holds my avcr, d-jetro and water injection sensors

That manifold looks cool. Looks like it mounts lower than I expected though, is that the reason for the fuse box mods? Is the Throttle body still in the original location or has this also moved? I dont understand the thermostat propblems either :(
the hole lot is lower down, hens the new cold pipe. the temp sensor goes in the bottom of the manny hens the thermo housing in the way:thumbs:

the tb has droped and turned toward the wing, i could have moved the fuse box over a bit but went for max room instead, you have 2 temp sensors you need to screw into the manifold but the clash with the thermostat housing
so i have pluged them and will either drill and tap the side or fit an adapter in the hose
pic of the unpluged sensor holes:)

good thread what sort of power u looking for and what make off pistons and rods are they:thumbs:
mani looks good. i'll look forward to see how the car runs with it :)
well you need dedication to own an sx:nod: this past five days i have derusted and por-15 the interior, striped the rear and black wax-oiled it including the wheel arches, 5L can in a bucket of hot water and a hand spray gun does a great job, just need to get it out of my ears:wack: fitted adjustable camber and toe arms, bolted in roll-cage [welded in support plates at the weekend]
pics to follow:nod:
what make off pistons and rods are they:thumbs:
Those are CP pistons www.cppistons.com US brand, and highly respected in the US... Just added a set to my CA :thumbs:
Looking good ex-ctr keep it comming :sxoc:
I was looking at that mani on ebay aswell!!! Its a Jun replica... very nice! They do two versions... one with top feed injectors and ones in original position... What powerfc did you get? D-jetro?

Nice shiney parts :thumbs: Will be watching this thread too :nod:
One query about the above picture. Not sure weather in practice it will really matter though...
In the AVC-R manual it says the boost sensor should be monted with the diaphragm or what ever is in the plastic bit horizontal. So the part you fix the boost hose on points vertically downwards. :)
Edit: Just had another look at the picture, and it doesn't look like they are fixed in :wack:
so this might be irrelivant.

moving the sensors to the inner wing as vibration from the engine might cause damage:nod:

Dont waste the money at Mazda... call Jimmy's Rx7 01603781598. got new temp sensor (Same one as the FD3S RX7) and part of sensor plug harness(needs to be cut from a loom) for £15 delivered :thumbs:
Do they come with the map sensor
No they dont... you have two options... buy the MAP sensor and Apexi harness seperately... or put the money towards the Power Fc boost control kit, which comes with the MAP sensor and harness!!! or do what i did and accedently bought the MAP sensor (no raness aswell!) :annoyed: Going up for sale soon! So any one who wants it give me your money not some company!!! :D
big project you have there mate, what turbo are you running?

vems is wide band mate :D

Im only selling the extra MAP sensor! Not the D-jetro!!!! I accedently ordered one too many of the MAP sensors... and yes fc datalogit works with the d-jetro... well it bloody should do, my mate is getting his mapped and there using the datalogit as part of the map equipment...
Thought as much but I thought Ex-ctr was looking at the VEMS stuff which has a narrowband ouput anyways :confused:
got the d-jetro then found out about vems, i think i will wait and see how the vems pans out,
excellent work as usual ex-ctr with your fabrication skills look forward to the finished article. keep it coming :thumbs:

16-01-2007, 09:17
vems is wide band mate :D
Yeah, I know that but the AFR and EGT gauge/controller can simulate a narrow band output for standard ECU's or ECU's that cant control a wideband sensor ;) I forgot to specify I was talking about the AFR and EGT gauge.

yes i have sold the d-jetro as the cars going more track than road and the vems has some features like throttle position boost control that i require:nod:
little update, finnished the pannels to hide the holes left when you strip the rear, used 1mm ns4 aluminium, very hard but light with a covering of black valvet [got it cheap £5:nod: ]

VERY interested in your electric water pump conversion.......how much did the pump cost? and where are you mounting it?
panels temporary fitted [read just wedged in:D ] as the interior is grey and the seats grey black its good how the black velvet changes to grey as you move your view point:wack:
http://premium1.uploadit.org/nollett123//DSC00748.JPG
also to answer the question above, the 2 pumps with a digital controller cost £300:eek: but as im investing mucho dosho in the engine it gives me piece of mind:nod: :D same as the accusump:)

Diffuser looks great :thumbs:
i found the sx floor pan lends its self to it, i have the car on stands at the back to see the suspension drop and i can box up really close to the wheels all around, over the diff and gearbox, looking at ducting some air between the floor and the under-tray to cool the gearbox and diff and as i have no fuel tank now i could duct the air out through the boot and keep the airflow clean under the car:)
i just need to know any implications regarding mot time and me covering the floor up

the diffuser looks great, good work! :thumbs:
thanks for the nice comments, its made from 1mm ns4 aluminium which is very hard yet light, get it free from work:D [ordered some extra sheets in for a job as you do;) ] next job is to join the front to the back:) just working out a heat vent for the gearbox and dif through the boot, the exhaust will be lagged
sounds good and looks nice n professional... just don't close the exhaust in too tightly, as my mate was working for a carbon company and they made a prototype diffuser that was a little too close for a porsche turbo and it kinda had a minor case of terminal fire :indiff: ...maybe carry the ducting from the gearbox etc around the exhaust too? ;)

im making a 'cup' to enclose the bottom of the exhaust leaving an air gap to aid air flow, and it will be lagged with 25mm thick superwool [ceramic] also im a sheetmetal worker by trade:)

So, does the plate bolt to the Z32 box then the engine?
Or, do you cut the Z32 flange off and weld that plate on?

you need to remove the bell housing and have it machined so the plates sits into the housing

I see, so the right length is kept?
So the material is machined from the face of the Z32 flange? And you still have enough thread to bolt it to the plate?

getting a length of 2"x2" box section to brace across the bolts, weld into the Nissan chassis and then brace into the roll-cage also taking into rear shock mounts so removing any reliance on the Nissan chassis for stiffness:)

just collected some more box section:D, im bracing into the shell with 3mm plate where the ''frame'' allows and all suspension/chassis mounting points are being replaced by the frame meaning the shell will hang off the roll-cage and supporting framework and be totally rigid, the only external surface that at present not being replaced with frp is the roof:nod: when i get some rear over-fenders the rear quarters will be removed, meaning outer skin and inner wings reshaped [12j wheels:wack:] and all welded/bonded in place, fpr boot, doors, bonnet,front wings
Ah cool, i suspected as much, that will be one awesomely rigid shell once your done, what suspension will you be using? any ideas on spring rates?? my shell will be pretty stiff once done, but nothing like the extent you ve gone to, i ve just used a fabricage full cage and will be linking it to the front turrets and A and B pillars, and adding wrc spec door bars!:D
Looking forward to seeing it done:thumbs:

Yeah:- http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=376213
i ve not gone into much depth on it yet, but you can see where i ve been seam welding and trying to stiffen the shell prior to getting the cage in, the cage will be going in week after next and all the work to go with it, i ll put pics up as i go:thumbs:

tig is harder, just remember as most tigs are used as arc as well, tig welding torch negative, arc welding with rods torch positive, but as i say try a small roll of brazing wire in your mig on its lowest setting, really easy:nod:

it is surprising how weak the oe subframe is, really does need to be well gusseted imo.
that is some serious bracing to the rear mounting points too should make for a pretty stiff chassis.

well the rear sub-frame brace is being totally replaced, i have removed most of the boot and replaced it with aluminium, the rear floor is going as it is no longer needed for rigidity and with be plated with aluminium which is a lot lighter, the rear quarters are being removed and frp fenders being bonded in there place, the heavy plastic fuel tank is gone replaced by a light weight alloy one so all min all im looking at saving weight
Does look a pretty awesome bit of kit!

With regards bonding agent...
Do you ever want them to come off again?
Look up your local distributor of this:
http://www.itwplexus.com/home.html
It's a self-mixing 2 part adhesive. You get a special gun to dispense it, and once it's cured, you wont ever have to worry about your trim flapping or coming off.
If you want somethings that will come off if you need it to....
http://www.sika.co.uk/tech-elseal-bond Sikaflex 552 will be ideal :)

still working on the rear subframe suports
cut off the bottom section of the chassis rail holding the studs, [
http://premium1.uploadit.org/nollett123//RIMG0039.JPG
the way Nissan did it was press the stud into a collar weld a closing plate over the top with a bolt passing through the plate into the top of the stud
i made a frame that picks up on that bolt that i have welded into the side chassis rails and allows me to get the right position for the studs when i cut away the original rail

then all i need to o after removing the old rail was make a new one [going to use a 40mm tank cutter to make loads of holes to keep down the weight]

Mind you, it's taken me most of a day to try to fab up a battery bracket, before giving up :wack: So i think you win.
At least your car isn;t currently held together by weather proofs and zip ties, as my battery is :D

nice fab work!
did you raise the rear subframe? if not might have been an idea to bring it up a tad to raise the roll center without raising the car ;)
