Wilson_WWSC Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 very nice. you need some clr to clear up that rust. why'd you pick the f22 over the f20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koyoteracing Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 very nice. you need some clr to clear up that rust. why'd you pick the f22 over the f20? The f22c is out of a newer model 2004 and up moré torque and better cams also the transmission it's mutch better comes with carbon sincros ! And better gear ratios .

Gollum Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 The f22c is out of a newer model 2004 and up moré torque and better cams also the transmission it's mutch better comes with carbon sincros ! And better gear ratios . Plus not to mention quicker turbo spool. And once you're shooting for those ultra high HP numbers, every ounce of displacement you can get without risking the block is worth it. The only main reason I can think to go with the 2.0 liter is that it might be a little cheaper, and the "cool" factor of a stock 9k redline. Oh, awesome project by the way. Keep us updated please! Question real quick though. All that work converting the front end to tube chassis and you stuck with the stock suspension design? Kinda weird is all. I understand calculating good suspension geometry is NO easy task, but even getting into a close ballpark by using adjustable components for a miata might be well worth the effort.

sq_creations Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Awesome build. I look forward to seeing it come together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I'm curious as to why you used two different diameter tubes here. I'm assuming they are similar in wall thickness... and if that is true then you have put your 'weaker link' (the smaller diameter tube) in a position to receive the highest bending stress (at the weld, where it meets the plate). Rectangular cross section tubing may have been a better choice, to distribute the bending stress at the plate better. Also, a shorter distance from the engine to the frame would reduce the stress seen at the plate. Have you had success with this style of mounting before? I don't know if I would want to push 500hp though that kind of mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beebeecivic Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hey Erick! Sweet f22c!!! The project looks great. I am a niegbor of yours (Rosemead). Its great to see quality stuff. Hope everything goes well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnye Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 As an S2000 and S30 owner - I would love to drive one with the F20/22. I have to say I have never driven a car with a better transmission (its really ruined driving others for me) - its going to be great! Do you have a build thread on S2ki? I am following a Celica build there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
