Car as it was 10 years ago before storage
Original 6 port EFI version
Same motor with a Holly
After I brought it up to Seattle the rebuild process began. It started with the Rx7
Motor out of the Rx7
and in to the Datsun
Final motor placement
The awesome guys at JBC lent me their mock-up cross member for fitting the motor and mounts.
Motor bolted to the temp crossmember
Motor mount building
Transmission mount
plenty of room for the 3" exhaust
Under the motor (almost no room)
Final JBC crossmember in and suspension build time.
Waiting for parts I mounted one of my carbon door panels built by the late Dave Pare
Oil pan mockup for clearance that was sent out with the engine mounts to Built to Apex to be 3d scanned and have billet versions made. I should have them back in a few weeks
Crank trigger installation
New fuel injectors ID 1050x primaries and ID 2000 Secondaries
Injector and 13bREW (FD rx7) upper intake manifold install with Elite fuel rails
Direct fire AEM coils and bracket
New Datsun flag and parts piling up faster than I can install
Twin scroll turbo manifold
Ripping out the wiring getting prepped for the Tilton pedal box and the Haltech
The turbo is in the house. Spoiler it doesnt fit like everything else (but I knew that which is why I went for the tubular manifold instead of the cast version)
90mm GM drive by wire throttle boy for the big turbo.
Fuel pump install to keep up with all that air and big injectors. It's all e85 compatible.
And because the turbo hit the water inlet, the installation of the electric water pump and side mount alternator. And a turbo oil pressure regulator.
Thats where the project is now (time lapse from the last year), hopefully this weekend I can start on the mounting the pedal box.
