yeh genuine... yeh they dont belong to the car or the owner they belong to the government... and they are supposed to be destroyed before the car leaves the country etc... guy i got these off has started a car recycling company as in japan there are NONE! so he is taking plates off and sending a small amount over to the uk... i paid nothing for them but i can get sets (2 the same or 2 different ones) genuine straight off a car in japan for £40
i know its not cheap but... they are genuine lol
and yeh at shows gonna stick them on.

Looks great, nice to see someone building one properly! You know a guy called Martin, who used to import these, and now runs an mx5 with an FC3 engine in?
That's a nice job they've made of that. Plus the plates = ultra sick, will be a nice finishing touch.
I'd have to buy our welders a few beers to weld flanges on for me, I can't TIG remotely well enough. But I know what you mean about supplies
lol i cant weld the other day i had my first attempt ever... it went ok lol well i can tack thats pretty much all i tried, though i did weld some scrap together and got some nice straight lines that didnt make holes lol... however compared to whats been done on the downpipe im s**t lol! i need to wrap the downpipe but need to get my egt probe boss put on first and stupidly i left it at the garage
You soon pick it up, it's all about practice.

you ought to be putting the EGT in the manifold not the downpipe.

Not too sure, lives near Horsham in West Sussex. Also makes stuff from fibreglass. Went to his to buy a Garage Vary splitter for my Eunos. Seems to really know his stuff, and his rotary powered Eunos is nuts. 320whp in a 780kg car.....
Realise that Andrew but there isn't really any space and being a twin scroll I would really need 2... So I'm sticking it as close to the exhaust housing as possible
I am.
The problem is post turbo doesn't really tell you anything. If you're going to bother measuring EGT it'll be better to have it in one primary than the downpipe, but really, you should have 2. I assume you have a wb fitted?
Just looked back to see that you have loads of space to fit bosses to the manifold, and that you only have 1 wastegate - you're going to be lying awake at night wondering whether you should have bit the bullet and gone twin
LOL andy i remember being at btec racing with adey and you spending the day with us just talking cars lol!
im gonna fit a wideband yeh... removing the stock narrowband completely though! seems that everyone does on rx7's will see if i can get it in the mani easy enough without having to unwrap it lol!
contemplated going twin wastegate... but i couldnt afford to add another 1k roughly to the mani and another wastegate lol!

how could anyone forget Adey's ***** of a 5
I don't think I've been to BTec since, I ought to pop in and see their 'new' rollers.

i been down a few times and had andrew do some welding for me on various parts, but the price varies lol one min he wants 5 quid next wants 40... and they were both similar sizes and amount of work lol!
their new rollers are supposed to be pretty special! last time i was chatting to him they can tap pretty much every car sensor and add differing loads per wheel (including awd) to simulate hills etc... if they did apexi power fc mapping i might of considered taking the rx7 there to have a play on the rollers but they didnt seem too interested...
im not sure what adey is driving now, he changes his car weekly lol! i hear you have a twingo that is pretty fun??

When's this going to be finished? I miss your face. Plus i want my hoody lol.
hoody???
not sure when its gonna be finished, i wanted it done for 7's day but thats not gonna happen (7/7/10) in japan all the rx7's meet up for a massive meet and they doing it in the uk this year... there is a tunnel run at the end of july which i would love to go to... but i need to run in and map before then or im shagged lol.

Last time I came round i was wearing one. Got dirty from helping you fit your prop shaft on that fcuking red 200 you had lol
small update...
rad and the intercooler pretty much fitted! also made and fitted my oil feed! not as easy as i expected... but looks good
line fitted
also fitted the downpipe!
got to work out what to do with the relay box :/
what it will look like from the front (sides will be ducted in)

Are the wheels supposed to be "cool" in some way Malice?
(Not joking btw, just know nothing about this "scene")
I only ask as I don't hate them, I can imagin it looking better or something else?
Good work again though, really enjoying reading this thread.

eh? its not like nitrous lol! you have 1 jet... some people run 2 smaller ones but its not used to increase power... the further away from the throttle body the better, it atomises in to the air and mixes and makes it more dense so the longer it has the better it works, its used as a detonation prevention to begin with i will be running just water, when i take it up the strip i might run a 50:50 water methanol settup...
its a v mount settup so the rad will be below it and im just ordering an alloy rad to replace my stock one
When we did WI we ran direct port in the MX-5. If we did it the way your describing cylinder 3 and 4 got next to no water. We ran a wideband off each cylinder, 1 & 2 = 13 at WOT, and 3-4 were nearly at 15.
That was a 50/50 mix of methanol. It was giving the same results of running 104ron fuel.
We ran it to destruction on one lump. We were putting as much water meth mix in as we were fuel! It take some setting up though and if you get a blocked jet the job is fucked.
the pics of the wheels that are on here they are dirty lol... they do clean up well... the rims can be polished up pretty easy, i just need to get to a powdercoating place and see how much they gonna charge if i drop the centres out then i can take the barrels home and polish them up...
here is a polished set...

Ah ok cool, they are quite nice indeed, those with the right profile tyre, and you'll be sorted
i dont see how if im injecting water before the turbo in the centre of the air filter, then its sucked through the compressor which means the water will atomise then get dispersed even more... then is rammed through the intercooler and in to the throttle body then the upper inlet manifold... then down the lower inlet mani and in to the engine...
dont forget the 13b is only 2 chambers... im gonna be running 550cc jet on the strip and 350cc on the road, the engine isnt being mapped for water... its being used as something after the mapping, so it will be mapped to safe fueling at 1.2bar without water... then water will be turned on after, so even if i run out of water the map will be safe to run that boost anyway...
Aren't they a enkei design?
