RX7 FD3S Re-Amemiya Twin Turbo Build Thread

[curacaosfinest]

Finally got the brakes on...what a difference!!!

just had to trim some of the dust shield, other than that, super super easy install

[curacaosfinest]

got a couple more things done today

replaced the OMP lines with some fresh OEM ones with all new crush copper wires and all

also finally removed the A/C pump and i was pretty surprised to see how much space that thing actually took up lol

Also got my upgraded stainless oil lines finished for the stock dual oil coolers

[curacaosfinest]

started mocking up the rear end aero

will be bolting the diffuser on permanently as soon as i'm done with my exhaust system

in the process of making the designs for the wing risers now so those should be on soon also
So i just grabbed some boxes and taped them on the back of the car so i could get an idea of how the wing would look since it is quite a wide wing (1600 mm)

The wing is also 3 point angle adjustable so i'll be able to setup for whether i'll be running a high speed or low speed coarse

how to install a GT Wing: Cardboard boxes and painters tape ftw!!! hahahaha

Alright so the wheel design is done!!!

ISS Forged will be cutting these wheels for me in the following specs

18x10 front, 18x11.5 rear

3.5" front lip/4.5" rear lip

i could have gone with a 5" rear lip...but i personally like having the lips look some-what similar all the way around, and thats what i thought was great about ISS Forged!! they were able to make that happen for me!!

they are being cut out of a 1" concave forging...i really dont like concave wheels
but the reason why they are doing it out of this 1" concave forging, is to give the wheel a little bit of a dive into the center
its very subtle and still very race oriented without adding weight to the wheel

because as we all know, those concave wheels that most 3-piece wheel companies are making now-a-days are stupid heavy!!

they're basically boat anchors!!!

here are the renderings
The only difference is that mine will be with Steplips, these are rendered into straight lips


wheels should be completed in about 2 weeks

[curacaosfinest]

well getting the last bit of my parts for the car now

Stoptech has really hooked it up for me...they're sending me their "Rear Sport Kit" for the car

Product Details

Its awesome, it comes with the slotted rotors, pads, and stainless lines
they also sent along 2 caliper rebuild kits for the rear calipers
and 3 bottles of their STR 600 brake fluid!!

I've always used Motul RBF600 for the track, but this is Stoptech's new fluid so i figured since they sponsored me i'd give it a shot
they also have a STR 660 level fluid for full track use...might switch to that if i dont like the feel of this fluid

I'll be back from my business trip on friday to continue working on the car
i finally received the proper o-rings i needed for my fuel injectors

so i'll be powder coating all the engine parts this weekend and then bolting all back together next week!

here are some pics of Stoptech Rear Sport Kit

hey ''finest'' what's the part # for the SunPro bushing kit and how many pieces are in it ?

[curacaosfinest]

hey ''finest'' what's the part # for the SunPro bushing kit and how many pieces are in it ?

The part number for the kit is SuperPro "KIT130K"

It comes with all bushings except for the pillow balls

the pillow balls are what you have to replace if you have clunking sound in the rear end of the car

[wagon r]

very impressive build and great documentation. can't wait to see the final outcome.

[Aaron 2NR]

[Rooki3]

[belalegosi]

[Sinister_Audio]

amaaaaaazzzzzzziiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg

[GT RACING]

Loving every pic......keep it up man.

have the same gold film on my piping and LIM.

will copy what you did with the UIM and fuel rail........lol

[cinco]

i love you

[curacaosfinest]

Thanks for all the complements guys!!

doing it for the tuning community, and to have a proper track car again!!

i used to race in an IMSA Porsche 944 Cup Car, and have since sold it and gone to spec miata, and now i've moved up and want to really get into some serious time attack

after the media with the car is done, i'll most likely be gutting the rear interior of the car to install fuel surge system

as for power...i'm going to have to cap it at 500hp for now, when i did the rebuild i didnt pin the motor so 500 is where i'm stopping for safety reasons...the setup is good for 675 at the wheels though.

when i'm running on track i will run a more conservative tune at around 450hp until i really learn the car before i turn it up to the full 500

Oh and great news!!

Central Florida Turbo has sponsored my car for all the dyno tuning
so you'll be seeing the video for that soon

Shout to Rolo at CFT Shop!! Hes just about the only tuner i'd let get anywhere near my A/F ratios!!

more updates coming up this week guys
I'll be prepping the intercooler, turbo comp. housings, intercooler piping, intake manifold, and various brackets
they will all be powdercoated to give the engine a nice clean look again and to make it easier for me to keep clean
i'm not the type to build a car and not use it for all its got, so it gets dirty pretty quick lol

will have some more for you guys soon!

[Paullct]

beautiful

[RoTaRyBoYz]

Will the car be ready to run at this event?? I'm trying to fit it into my schedule, so hopefully I'm able to make it out there with my customers. I think you fellas in Trini should try your best to attend this race because it will be SICK!

[sliderz1]

neat stuff bro

dyno tested yet?

[Ted_v2]

Sick.

[demented]

*subscribed*

[BrotherHood]

OMFG!!!


You really know your stuff man. I just wish the local market wasn't as expensive for upgrades etc.

[curacaosfinest]

haha thanks for all the complements guys!

i'll be posting up more updates this week!

[trinibuggy]

I jizzed a few times while reading through this build

[FourG63 97GST]

Nice build man, I'll really like a FD chassis one day. It's weird seeing them with a rotary though. That's rare these days

[speedaholic]

Excellent build buddy... Can't wait to see the final product... your really know ur stuff!!
