thorne Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 It's cake! Do it yourself so you can say you built it! I got a budy that for 40$ I bet could do all the soldering. He's good to. He's done many of mod chips to run linux on xbox's.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Letin the cat our of the bag. I'm doing a metro turbo 3cyl swap into the wrx. I'm going to build the block and push just over 48psi. Shooting for 200-210 hp in the wrx. I know this is a downgrade from the current setup but man it would be mad tight to have a FWD wrx with that much power @14000 RPM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I asked the great and powerful Pete, keeper of lost rotary souls if he had a shell for you. He said this: Tell him to go to http://www.ohiorotaries.com as there are usually a couple engineless FCs out there. Going price seems to be $200-500 depending on condition. Everyone falls short on projects, you have not come close to breaking any records here on CR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I havent looked on ohio rotaries becaus I am pretty sure everyone hates me after I told DJChaunter or whatever his name was where he could shove it when he made me start driving to his house and he didnt have the title ready to go on an FC I was supposed to buy from him. Edit: This happend last fall, before I bought Mr. 2.....maybe they have forgotten by now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 That is really tempting, but I am looking for something with an interior preferably. This thing has to be driveable and livable on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 my white mustang wouldn't make boost becuase it blew a line off the bottom of the intake where I couldn't see get your rx-7 done and we'll race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 If anyone has any parts laying around that they want to donate (yeah, right), that would really speed up this process... motor I have leads on, I know where to get the mounts, still trying to track down a place to get a megasquirt other than DIYAutoTune, HY35, and I need a GT T5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossle Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'm car searching for you too, i've sent out a few emails, but no response yet.

NOPR Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I have a sawzaw you can use when you have to hack a huge hole in your hood to clear the pizza sized cam gear and intake manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 nice thorn... pat if you need help soldering i can, im at school and ill be back for winter break so maybe then if you haven't found anyone to or decided not to buy the one that has been put together already Josh, I can almost guarantee you cant assemble this thing. Hell, I use to build emulator circuits for DSS hacking, and I dont think I can handle the megasquirt. Its not that I couldnt actually do it, its that I dont think I could steady my hand enough to not screw up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heelside1647545510 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 pat, i have some turbo dsm parts in the garage that might be useful,theres an intercooler and some other random stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yeah, I will definitely need an intercooler. Nick has one, but apparently Thorne currently has dibs on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I am having trouble finding a definitive answer on this, but Mustang T5's have cable clutches, dont they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
