well I completed the motor and removed the old one with low compression. trasfered all the parts and droped it in a few days ago. today I got an idea to modify an old modified DP from my last RX for this car. the one that came with it was rattling a lot when it was running so I decided to slap together a cheapo down pipe. here are a few pics for you all to get a good laugh with. and yes the DP will bolt into the stock location.

and the front

and the new motor all installed and purring like a babby white seal.

 

all coolant lines are now silicone(including that little 1/4" guy up front)

 

now it sits and waits for RallyX season to start up again. its going to be fun. he he.

I really like your engine. Good Job! That car should be a terror on a race track.

hmmm, indeed.

 

 

 

 

nice work. is that a stock cat welded up in there?

great spot for the battery! gets it up out of the way. Great work on the engine!

I likes the DP. You even opened up the rear flange. I'm guessing the cat internals are not stock. I bet you saved a bit on parts too. I would totally use that!

 

FMIC = cool in more than one way.

the DP was hacked and gutted when I got it orginally. I then proceded to add the waste gate dump into the gutted cat. it sat around. I tried to give it away(Junkie) then tried to sell it but no takers so I fabed up a 2.5" outlet pipe out of spare parts. basically cost a little bit of welding wire and electricity. I think it will work ok.

 

the relocated battery and FMIC were on the car when I bought it.

 

the change over to silicone all coolant hoses was all me.

 

it had a lightened flywheel and high performace clutch disc that was tossed in on the deal.

 

soon to be sitting on the gold Enkeis that were also in the deal. along with 8 rallytires.

 

Caleb would be proud of the budget to complete this car.

Holy crap dude, I love where you located the battery to.

Nice setup! I want to see the front mount.....from the front.

That is some good handywork my friend. I like the look and also the fact that it has a FMIC. Pretty darn spiffy if you ask me. Hey, I'm aslo wondering if you could post some pics of the car from the front?

thanks all for the good words. Now If I only had more than a 1000 bucks to buy an RX and build a motor it would be really somthing special. I dont count the cost of parts leftover from old projects.

 

Caleb, have I snatched the pebble yet?

dp doesnt look bad at all! simple construction, still looks oem minus the wastegate piping.
