Hi, been a long time since I posted in this forum but thought I would share some pics of my various fabrication projects on my SP RX7



Well here is the turbo support.

Started fabrication of the air box to turbo WI chamber, twin 3" feeds to 4" on front of turbo

Well here it is, a tad over engineered!!! can be used as a third engine mount!!! (its not so bad weight is under 1kg) but its rock solid, holds coils perfectly and is very simple, each rotor coils set is modular and comes off with one cap head bolt https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif



I probably screwed around for weeks on and off thinking how to do it and this way worked out best, lots of welding and making different jigs *fiddly stuff* especially the spacers for the coils, but that's how it goes lol

Tomorrow wire up the 3 CDI boxes and all that is done :o



Totally sealed ! no radiant heat will go up to intake manifold ! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif

Pretty happy with end result, its what I always wanted in my own car and any turbo should be like this IMHO, no more excuses of "too hot bro, cant boost it" https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

Finished AF sensor placement, also EBP sensor fitted too, all fiddly stuff really to get it to fit and be serviceable. Also have started work on decent SS304 heat shield (not finished yet), and fabricated the oil drain and inlet feed.

Well here is the completed dump pipe with all heat shields in place, these are designed to be loose and have some air circulation to stop pipe fatigue in circuit racing applications, I will have a pipe feed of air going to underside of manifold as well. Most all radiant heat will be stopped going into inlet manifold and into other components and engine bay in general as you can see from angled shots. All shields are removable too (made these myself).
