Turbo Rotary Mazda B2600i Minitruck Build!

[magnumP5]

^^^ Have you looked at any of A-Spec's kits/manifolds? Their's are still too the side but are more forward, IIRC. IMHO, you really don't want the turbo directly in front of the engine.

i just need clearance. i dont really care where the turbo goes as long as its not going to affect heatsoak and things of that nature..

i just want to clear the frame and not have clearance with my a arms ya know?

 

[mymmeryloss]

do u have a link to the "a-spec" stuff by chance?

 

[magnumP5]

Here's their site: http://www.a-spectuning.com/products.htm

Looks like they may just sell kits. Might sell you a manifold though. The ones I've seen push the turbo forward but they're still to the side. The rotary engine is very sensitive to temperature - I wouldn't put anything between the engine and the cooling fan, especially something that would be adding heat.

thanks for the link.. i will definately be shopping around!

i just got back from a big show in california and some member from our club from japan were there, so hopefully i will be getting the ball rolling on that soon. if not, i am going to just do a rack and pinion and try to make it work with my oil pan on the rotary without any clearance issues. there was a real haggard mazda that was rhd with a hand brake and he used tacoma rack and pinion, and he had to do a lot of modification to make it lay out and it just looked shoddy to me, so i would rather do it right with the factory rhd components...

anyway, big update with pics tonight!!!

alright here it is...

RHD jdm s5 rx7 tII front clip...

pretty sure imma rebuild it cuz i have a feeling that has been railed the piss out of...

came with quite a few legit parts that make me think it was driven hard since it was obviously modified...

anywho, on to the pics..

hopefully the dash will fit in the truck. the measurements are pretty close, so im sure i can do a little fiberglass if need be to make it fit..
blitz BOV, cusco strut tower bar and other name brand goodies...

anybody need any 2nd gen rx7 parts?

now i just gotta get to cleaning and dismantle a half a car to get it out of my front driveway so my HOA doesnt get pissed lol..

enigne mounts are also enroute and will be here monday so hopefully i can get this down to a bare keg and see what fitment issues i am going to have.. i know i am going to have to relocate the turbo, and im hoping thats it until i can afford a FMIC.

also, new 2wd b series hood on its way also..

You wouldn't happen to have the stock shifter with all that mess, would you? Any other parts you trying to get rid of?

 

[mymmeryloss]

i have the stock shifter, but im pretty sure imma have to use it...

im getting rid of everything but the engine tranny ecu wiring all the rhd dash and steering.

headlights, bumper, headlight motors, bumper lights, firewall, suspension, cusco strut tower bar. basically anything that would come on a rx7 that i dont need lol...

been tearing the car apart all day, so parts should be ready to ship by tomorrow...

If for some reason you don't need it, let me know.

What is the condition of of all the lens/lights on the front? Depending on the condition I may be interested in those and the entire headlight assembly...

 

[mymmeryloss]

everything is in tip top shape..

i will post pics of everything later on...

 

[mymmeryloss]

the front clip is completely disassembled...
