This guy has done a lot of his own fabrication and produced a rather cool looking FC

Hats off to Zbrown - excellent piece of work :yes
i\'ve followed this thread, some really good work, he\'s running high comp rotors on this aswell. Really quick project build time, i wish i had the spare time this guy has.
looks damn good....
I found this thread about the 3rd page in, but I\'ve been following it since then. The work on this car is excellent - and he\'s trying some new ideas as well. Would love to know what size those 2 injectors are !
interesting thread ... Has given me lots of ideas too :)
i love the way he mounted the rew engine in the the FC, bolted a rear plate to the gearbox, and whereever it landed he welded a flat bar accross the subframe and bolted the engine too it. I have seen some real funky mounts made to fit rew engines in FC\'s but this is the easiest and best way i have seen, and no need to buy solid engine mounts!
photos already snagged of the alternator mounting and the inlet adapter ... it\'s spooky really as look at the bits i have sat on my desk at the moment for the 323 :D just waiting for the engine to go back in so I can mock it up for welding.
Can\'t understand why he cut down the inlet of the turbo like that though?
That thing is a monster!!!!! nice thread i miss this one !!

Probably done to reduce engine shake - he\'s done something with the front of the diff as well - solid mounted to stop scuttle shake and hopping. He seems to get some really good launches with it.

No - that didn\'t make much sense to me either - but he\'s managed to get a filter on it !:cheers It\'s a guess, but it was probably to help clearance it from the bonnet - that thing is mounted quite high!
Gt42 ooh i have a gt4288 will have to follow this one, how much would a 13b rew cost 2nd hand.Might be just as well using car over summer and building a seperate engine:3Confused
What an awesome thread
Love all the fabrication work.
and what a vid

i dont think you need an REW engine, i will confirm that for sure on Saturay finger crossed.
