Title: The Russian JC Cosmo
Post by: Funklove on September 14, 2007, 10:48:23 AM
It is a story about my JC Cosmo 13B-RE JC3SE.
I bought it in 2004 from Siberia.
The engine was blown. The car was a garbage virtually.
The engine was dismounted and taked apart in winter 2004-2005.
I didnt know what the hell is a rotary engine at that time. Where are pistons?
The process of reborn was strated...
All of the work was made by my own hands (exept body). The work is not done by the way...

Custom (T2+JC) driveshaft
OS Giken twin plate, FC+FD+LADA hydraulics

Haltech E11V2 ECU
Autronic 500R + 4 LX92 direct fire coils, crane cams  wires
Innovate wideband
Couple of simple gauges

Custom engine harness
Custom power harness
custom dash - like in airplane :)

I have to keep looking at that paint  - it\'s really growing on me. :yes
 
I guess you\'ve got a 13B-RE block going spare at some point then, if you dropping a triple in there.
 
Looks good.:cheers

Thank you for replies!
Well, I finally upgraded ignition setup yesterday! Autronic + Crane Cams Coils and wires give me a strongest spark fire ever!

I have a 20B, but not have enought time, money to start and finish new project. 13B is a big money sucker... 20B is money sucker twice!

Congrats on the time and effort you have put into that car. Even more so since you were originally looking for the pistons!
