rbs30 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I had a jc cosmo eng in my rx3 and i just had a series 4/5 (fc) 13bt oil metering pump on it...never had a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Good to see you're back at work on the project Alex. I was afraid it was going to die an unfinished car. Don't take any crap from Mark. He can spout off when he posts pics of his Zs' progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The S5 is controlled by the ecu. But if you use a GSLSE front cover, you need the MOP specific to it, even tho it's 13B. So no using an S4 MOP. Those are my findings.

rbs30 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 You can DEFINATLY use a 12at (old cosmo) front timing cover on the front of a jc cosmo 13bt it also has the turbo oil drain built in and also has a mechanical metering pump..

Mr.INSANE Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Would This be good for applications pushing upwards of 350 Hp Im surprised there isnt a Standalone Ecu that has this built in yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we have the 12ATs here, but that's good to know. So this front cover has old style mounting (4 holes for crossmember) AND fits on 13BT blocks?

I don't know if stand alones control the MOP, most people just premix. If you're THAT forgetful, get a white mailing address label and a permant marker and stick it to the inside of your gas door. The write, "DON'T FORGET TO PREMIX" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbs30 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 yeah the 12at was only brought out in japan..a fair few get imported here to aus though.. however they are starting to get scarce now..yes they have the 4 bolts on the front for the engine mounts and yes they are good hp as my rx3 made 490rwhp with a ta45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 I think Haltech controls MOP functions, but don't quote me on that. If it does, it's about 1600 for the unit, so it's way out of my price range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 There. Intercooler mounted and plumbed up. The BOV mount pipe section was drying after paint, so it's not in the picture (the gap in the piping) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 you might not want to mount your air filter right on the compressor housing like that. Garret did the same on his turbo and the heat got to the filter, caused it to melt and a piece was sucked into the turbo and blew the turbo and his motor.

Hugh Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Rotaries with solid engine mounts are much smoother than typical piston engines on solid mounts. The rotating motion of the engine just doesn't send the horrible teeth rattling shake at idle. I have several friends who daily drive solid mounted rotaries, and they don't seem to mind too much. I've driven a couple and they were not so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
