mike, at that point it's better to go single turbo. I'd have to get an exhaust manifold made that would go forward of the motor, so the turbo would sit in front. I may bug you in a day or two, if you can swing by after work so we can take alook at the motor. Just let me know if it's not convenient for you

the toyota caliper/rotor spacers have nothing to do with the bolt pattern. they sit between the hub and the rotor as a spacer, not a bolt pattern changer that bolts to the hub

guys, you seem to be missing the "i don't have the money to do this" portion of the project. This was originally budgeted, but not for extra 2 grand it'll cost. Which is why I'm considering reverting to chevy

jon, so, will you be coming by with your mig to do this?

I figured the plates FLM TRWR would be a good start!

hm, another thing to try later on. We didn't have enough time yesterday, but I'll look into that. The thing is the stock intake manifold's pretty high, so if I tilt it, it may not clear the hood. That introduces the requirement for a cowl hood (Davy, you got a spare one! )

gramercy: well, yeah, I meant that in stock form, apex seals don't really just go out... well, on FDs it's a common issue, but not in other turbo rotaries. (13b-rew motor, mine's a 13b-re). john: technically, it's a midengined car. The block's behind the front crossmember

Apex seals blow when the motor's not properly tuned. Any time the motor goes lean, apex seals go "pop" and that's the end of the engine

John, Stop thinking in "only a racecar" terms I'd like to be able to drive it on the street, and the oilpan already hangs too low on a low car. I don't have the knowhow/tools/funds to do most of the work you're talking about. The shield idea was already in mind for the oilpan. When I said the frame rail is too close, I meant that there's 4" of clearance between the frame rail and the motor. The stock manifolds and turbos are 8" across, I can't very well notch a 3" frame rail by 4" Keep in mind that I don't have the resources that you do, I wish I did.

I work in IT. I deal with idiots on a daily basis. Actually, it's kind of like working with kids, except they're adults and whine more. Here's my dialog from 10 minutes ago with a user trying to use VPN from her home pc: me: go to start->settings->control panel->add/remove programs, and select nortel networks client to remove. her: ok, i'm under programs. I don't see it. me: go to start->settings->control panel->add/remove programs, and select nortel networks client to remove. her: I'm still not seeing it, I'm looking under start->programs me: I specifically said go to start->settings->control panel->add/remove programs, and select nortel networks client to remove it. her: ok, I'm under control panel. I don't see add/remove programs icon. me: it's there. her: Oh, ok. Do I left click it? me: [very irritated now] double click it with the left button her: Ok, starting add/remove hardware wizard. me: NO. ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS her: that's what I ran!!! me: no, you ran the hardware wizard. they're right next to each other. they're labeled underneath the icons fast forward 10 minutes of useless dumb banter. she asks me if she can bring her home PC into the office so I can fix it. I just flat out told her no, she'll have to deal with it herself, and there's a reason we provide her with a laptop so she can take it home and do her work from home. her reply? "Oh, I don't like lugging that thing around" well, that's great. I don't want to support your crap at home, which you shouldn't be using anyway because that's a security liability for my company.

nope, that's not hte clip at all, dude. it's a matrix revolutions interview clip

no, that starwars kid taped himself doing that, and someone stole the tape and distributed it. he then proceeded to file a bunch of lawsuits, ironically one of them was against a .org that organized a charity drive for him

Ah yes, failure. It's that aspect of humanity that makes you realize that if you can't do something well, learn to do it poorly. Today we attempted another trial fit of the rotary into the Z. Word of advice = don't try this unless extremely bored or want to be different. Either way, those aren't good excuses. Today my buddy rob and I, along with 73BOTIZ and his son, who stopped by later, attempted this dumb maneuver Rob and I take to taking apart the rotary down to a shortblock. or, medium block... whatever. the rotors and eccentric shaft are still sealed, but intake, exhaust and turbo are off the motor. Into the Z bay it goes Well what do you know, it fits! I can almost use the stock transmission x-member Crap. How do we run the steering shaft through the mount that'll sit in the middle? drill a big hole in the mount? hehe See these? stock twin turbos. They won't fit in here. This means I'll have to get a t04 turbo and route it to the front. Oil pan hangs 1" below the crossmember/frame rails. I have an rx7 oilpan which I think it shorter, this may help if it bolts up. tranny sits a bit high.. cliff notes: 1. turbos won't clear the side, too close to the frame rail 2. oil pan sits too low for comfort 3. difficult to line up transmission without lowering the motor more than it's lowered now. 4. steering column routing? damn.. well, I think we can manage something. just won't be ready for MSA this year. Oh yeah, and if anyone else wants to do a rotary, DON'T!

See the blocks of wood? that's right, biatches, WBR represent!!!! jackstands are supporting hte motor, not the car! Wood Block Racing Member #1

doesn't mean you should use it. results could be deadly. funny deadly http://home.online.no/~leko/OMFG.wmv

My car's on wooden blocks, not jackstands. I wanted to be different. Wood Block Racing Member #1

linky worky, you just not knowy how to use internety!

http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gte414v/George.mpg LMAO atthe last guy!!! He is some sort of a super nerd, built from parts of lesser nerds.... he probably masturbates more than any guy on hte planet!

'cept that the Ford Mustang was initially named after the P-51D mustang, not the horse. This is dating back to the jet-car era, when the cars had long swept tail fins and taillights styled after a jet engine emitting flames

awd dyno is different from 2wheel dyno. stock wrx rated at 227hp at crank will put down 155-160 to the wheels. wrxs have 3 catalytic converters, one BEFORE the turbo.

you can borrow my spare (fremont) if you wanna come down to pick it up this weekend. I think DavyZ has a spare too (he's 3 miles from me). If you want to go the junkyard route, the toyota mk1-2 supra/celicas have 114.3x4 bolt pattern, if memory serves. so does a nissan 240sx 4 lug

My friend has a Canon EOS10D digital SLR, and he was riding in an impala next to me.

the original z32 concept was an awd twin turbo mid engined car called the mid-4. check zhome.com for pics and info
