The idea is that the engine is sucking up so much fuel, that a significant amount of body roll would limit or starve the fuel pumps (2) of fuel momentarily, but enough to lean out the mixture in the engine and possibly burn valves/pistons. Tall, cylindrical surge tank keeps a steady supply of fuel at the bottom during braking, cornering, and acceleration. Dual -6AN SS braided fuel lines from the in-tank pumps to the surge tankĤ. Dual 255LPH Walbro fuel pumps on either side of the hump in the fuel tank (1), each with 30 micron filters, each with their own 12V 20A relays, each with a -6AN line to the surge tank (4).ģ. Inspect/repair trouble spots, possibly line with a bladder if required by local associations' rules.Ģ. I sanded the excess glue from the front of the cluster and glued on one of two or three final pieces that are part of the structural integrity.ġ. You can see that #1 and #4 have some minor flaws. Unfortunately two of the gauge faces didn't glue properly and are a bit slanted, so I will cut the glue and reposition them. The gauge faces need support while the glue dries, not very clear right now, more pics to come soon! I will be cutting five holes for wires and gauge cables/wires/hoses The cluster will go here, facing the driver to the right (RHD) where the bowl-shaped divet is on the dash. I will be monitoring A/F (wideband), oil pressure, boost (one for post GT35/40 pre GT28 pressure, and one for manifold pressure), and I'm undecided on what the fifth will be (probably pyrometer) I will make a mold of the wooden original for reproduction in either fiberglass or carbon fiber. To keep tabs on the engine vitals, I'm building a 5 gauge cluster to be molded into the dash to appear as one big piece. Suspension: K-Sport GT Pro Damper Coilovers, 10pt rally cage, sandblast and paint black all reused suspension parts, Superpro "complete" GT-R bushing kit, Mazda MX-3 rear tie bars, front fender frog bracesīrakes: Mazda Millenia/MPV front calipers + rotors (4mm thicker, 2pot front calipers), 100% new hard lines connecting to braided SS hoses, dual master cylinders H-beam rods, 9.1:1 ceramic coated pistons, MegaSquirt 3 fuel+spark+boost management, turbo camshafts, adjustable cam gears (buying soon), ported & polished head & manifolds, 1600cc low-Z injectors, 24x12x3 FMIC with 2.5" inlets, 3" exhaust, dual 44mm wastegates, dual BOVs (SSQV and type RS), GATES racing beltsĭriveline: ST185 Celica GT4 complete driveline, Darryl's conversion kit, ST205 rear LSD, braided SS clutch lines, custom GTR clutch + PP with Toyota spline The goal: 450AWHP and a chance to learn what every nut on this car does.Ĭurrent status: stripping the dash + front suspension, to be resumed August 14.Įngine: swapped from this car which I will pick up at the end of the month ($500 deposit already paid): FS: Fully Built Turbo Escort GT-R - Club Protege. Forged BP, compound turbo setup (GT2871r & GT35/40), Toyota ST185 Celica GT4 driveline, 10pt cage, new bushings everywhere, coilovers, MS3 standalone, the list goes on.
