Turbo Rotary Mazda B2600i Minitruck Build!

lol. i didnt think anyone was interested on here anymore, so i havent been updating..

not a whole lot has been going on, but i have been building a new frame so i can build my sheetmetal cab floor. sinc ei still havent gotten my turbo manifold i decided to upgrade my turbo setup.

i ordered a comp turbo to4e and also got my v mount intercooler and aluminum radiator with twin electric fans. i will also be running a fan on my intercooler as well.

i am not completely sure i am going to have enough room to run the vmount so i may just sell that and run a fmic after all.

maybe ill get some pics up of progress in the mean time.

glad someone is still interested!
 
Yea this is one of, if not my favorite builds on here right now. Keep up the good work and keep us updated! PIKCHURES!!!!
 
i just found this the other day thanks to corksport and i gotta say this is one sick build
 
Keep the updates going! I like checking in everyweek to see what you have gotten done.

Ordered some good parts. ******* holidays ruining my plans and my garage time. Still waiting on a turbo mani. I just got my t3 flange in today so....

Pictures hopefully soon..
 
well i guess nobody cares about pics anymore lol...

here they are anyways..

****** holidays foiled my plans to work on the truck but i did get one side of the frame nearly complete. it takes a long time to weld up a thick frame with my little welder lol...
2x3 square tubing 1/4" thick to box the frame with so my cab floor isnt so high...

this is what made me want to upgrade turbos. the stocker just didnt do my build justice. internal wastegate pos... just need to upgrade pulleys on the engine and shine some things up. well aside from a complete rebuild on the engine and paint and all that jazz..

thats all i have for now... sorry for the slow updates but its getting cold enough i dont wanna be in the garage lol..

i also ordered a greddy elbow for the throttle body. saving for a new wastegate and possibly a new bov... prolly gonna have to get a different intercooler since i dont think that the v mount is going to be feasible for my application..

thanks everyone for looking and keeping me on my game...
 
Nice to see the build coming along! I am still very impressed with your fabrication skills :)
What rating is your Mig Welder? I got myself a 220V, 180 Amp Thermal Arc Welder. It works awesome and claims to do 1/4 steel on single pass. Haven't tested it to that extent yet but soon enough I will be building a trailer for my 4-Wheeler!
 
Keep those detail pics coming...I'm sure everyone enjoys them along with your updates...Truly an awesome project! (rockon)
 
Are those the feet of your official helper in the turbo picture?

I like the fender liner design. Keeps it really clean looking.
