So.. as some of you may or may not know i decided to go full non sequential with my new high flow twins. The project has been been going well of late and after my last post with pictures of my wastegate port and pre control removal
http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39764
I thought id give a little update as to my progress :cheers
I started to strip down the top half of my engine monday gone and pulled quite alot out in a short space of time. i thought to myself "could this be anymore fun?!" finally the point came where i could take great satisfaction in starting to rip out the rats nest!

so time goes on another day passes and i decided it was time to work on the downpipe Y pipe etc unfortunatly i had a right a*se of a job with one of the DP nuts and had to grind it out in the end. Appart from that everything went pretty smooth!

Anyway if anyone is interested i\'ll update this post every now and then with progress.
tomorrow im going to try tackling the turbo pack more pics to come
But now its time for a well earned cup of tea :D
Hi John,
Be careful with the chemi metal,it can pop out under boost pressure.
If you want to do it more securely then get some ally tig welded into the holes.
Regards
Carl
okay nice one, thanks carl i\'ll look into that tomorrow. You can weld alloy with a mig if you get a differnt gas can\'t you ?
mate you need to fabricate the stuff with me that ive been thinking of for ages cos mate your talented :)
theres me not making an intake box cos its too hard lol
Id have to say talented was pushing it abit :p
more... restless, I dont like waiting about and I prefer to jump in both feet first. If im interested in something i\'ll pick it up quick, the only advice I can give is go for it. Get your tape measure out, you know you want too !! :D

i dont own one. :rollin
i do almost everything mechanical if i have the right tools but i want to fabricate alot of things but it never goes beyond my imagination.
im gonna have a crack at spray painting tho :p
dont you find that you spend more money on the bits to fabricat then you would to buy, ie metals, grinding stuff liquid metal etc etc probably just me tho, :p
nope! i just rince bits of road signs and gatso boxes.... ONLY JOKING!!!!
My grandfather was a tool maker and my dad has always been good at making things so when it comes to that sort of stuff there is usually bits around to make whatever. If there is something that i need and i cant do it myself then i\'ll try and get it done some other way.
Great start :)
How much power are you hoping for once its all done?
hoping for around 350 RWHP after tubs controller etc etc etc are all in place and mapped, i dont really want anymore after experiencing what dom has achieved with his motor
another quick update, turbo\'s have now been removed, and they don\'t look to bad ! however my camera has started to go wrong it dosnt like to focus and its very tempremental :( im hoping to have most of it done on monday so i\'ll try to take more pics :)
just afew pics of a tubless bay

while you are this far into the twins some suffer badley with cracking, shat play ect. It would be the ideal time to check and sort any probs as they will get a lot worse a lot quicker with the higher boost needed for that power.
matt
hey matt thanks for the heads up but i have some spanky new knight sports twins to go in :D
that must have been a royal pain in the arse getting them out while the block is in right? not many people do it.
you snap any studs etc?
good going btw mate :wiggle
Nah it was fine actually, all the nuts studs etc came off w/o a hitch :Thumbsup!
Quick update-
LIM gasket replaced and manifold now off and flapper removed ready for welding tomorrow. unfortunatly my camera is being sh*t and dosnt like taking pictures anymore

Looking good :)
You\'re right about getting the tubbys off with the engine in situ, its a bit tight but do able. :)
Another update for the day. I cant really work on the car due to rain so I welded up the manifold and neatened it up abit after the flapper was removed.
It isnt super slick neat but really.. who\'s going to notice it

Well... I have withstood the torrents of rain today and after three changes of clothing i managed to get most reinstalled :D
Manifold replaced, turbos all hooked in, downpipe on steering link re connected and turbo pipes re installed!
Not much more to go..
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e12/asthier/install.jpg)
Well done John, Thanks for the pic\'s, all interesting stuff, Now would be a good time to fit a polished Efini Y pipe if you could get one! save that pipe blowing off with extra boost, i see you have hard pipes already,
Cheers Bob
FIIIIIINNNNNIIISSSSSSSSSSHHHHED !!! :D

The patient is up and doing well idles nicely and sounds mean as fook, and on the + side i even got rid of that annoying engine rattle
sorry, well over the moon booyah !! :driving :wave :rollin
Excellent work John, mapping session next?
yep yep, going to send some 850 injectors off for flow testing and cleaning first then will get those in the primary rail then think about mapping, also have a profec thats been installed but needs to be set up. :D
good to see as expected.
you are so F***ing punctual too!
On my thread responses?
E-mail notification my friend :D
no, each time you say x should be done by whatever date it bloody is!!
everyone i know with these cars with mine ANY job takes 20times the expected time!! :(
glad for you though :) you didnt **** about either decisive and well executed.
Some people tend to be to scared of the weather lol, "can\'t do that its raining" blah.. sod it, get some water proofs on and go wild ;)
Yip.. Good on you. I\'ve been under my car with my legs sticking out and it\'s been thrashing it down!! lol.
Saying that... I can\'t be bothered to go out in the rain today. lol
looks good mate, and i have a lot of respect for any one who does the work them selves.
matt

Cheers dude, next will be a block rebuild ! i\'ll give anything a go lol
lol you have done the hardest thing. twins with the engin in.
motor out is easy and there isnt that much in a rotary, altough i was just a pair of hands when we striped my block.
matt
time to find a block then i guess ;)
My new FSE power boost valve arrived earlier on in the week and today ive just taken the delivery on my new sparkplugs and freshly cleaned 850 injectors !!
(Many thanks pip for a super fast turn arond ! )
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e12/asthier/fueling.jpg)
Im really looking forward to getting it all set up :D
well... set back number one has arrived !!
I was tightenening up an oil line from the 2ndary turbo as i had a slight leak and sheered a bolt, oops turbos to come out again, ive already removed all the cr*p so they will be out again tomorrow, the offending bolt will be removed and thread retapped ready for re-installation on saturday :evillaugh
What\'s a power boost valve mate??
fuel pressure regulator
Aaah... FPR... I get ya! :)
well turbos are out again, stud has been removed from the 2ndary oil line and its all sorted, however another stud snapped while removing the turbo\'s from the manifold so again, its mission almost impossible !!
big update from last time, had some major problems getting the snapped manifold stud out, so had to buy another one from jitesh ( many thanks!) got it home on the sat and re converted it to non seq and the turbo\'s are now back in and running fine. then on the monday i went to see Trex ( Dom ) for fitment of my FPR & NGK 11, plugs and in general for a social, cheers dude! ;)
Then finally today, dyno time i traveled all the way to WGT and after the first run, it made 354 RWHP at 0.8bar then after turning it up a notch it achieved a wopping 369.8 RWHP ( 436.4 FWHP ) with a torque of 396 at 0.9 my stock ports were holding it back so not much more could be achieved, i think ive worked out what i want to do next to the car but im going to enjoy it as is for now. Again thanks to everyone thats helped me along the way, esp to Dom
Here are the dyno sheets ( also reposted in dyno section)

are you still using the fuel pressure solenoid under the UIM or do you have an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator?
Many thanks
none of the solinoids are in use on my convo, and yup i have an fse fpr
So I guess I need to keep the fuel pressure solenoid a s long as I\'m running the stock FPR
again i didnt, i upgraded the FPR at a later point
ok cool thanks :)
Can you change the charge relief valve to BOV?? so you got TWIN BOV... nice!! Just a thought.
i capped off the CRV and went with just the one DV :)
