Nice thread Mike!
Love the way it\'s going to look in your engine compartment

any new progess on this project?

[MikeLMR]

Yes, the car is at Hayward rotary for an exhaust and an ECU to get it up and running.

[MikeLMR]

an update from deepest darkest Newbury

The standard intake and emmissions stuff is all off the engine and there isn\'t quite enough space to run the T/B\'s in a side draught configuration so they are being mounted \'downdraught style\'

This should allow room for a decent airfilter too.

Thanks to Mr.Hayward for the hard work

Hiiya Mike, forgive me from digging up and old thread but I reckon that there are amore than a few people kinda wondering what was going on with this conversion at the moment? Finished or still under development.
  cheers and happy new year buddy.

[MikeLMR]

still a work in progress. Thats why i\'m off down to see Carl. The exhaust is done and the T/B\'s are on the engine ... but thats as much as I know.

It\'d be nice to have it back for Brooklands (Carl ? )

[MikeLMR]

A bump to the top for the new owner of the manifold ... yep its not going on my rx7. Will probably be using an IDA manifold instead.

[travellinbob]

Hmm, I wonder where it will end up. he, he, he...

[diabolical1]

after all that work? wow ...

well, good luck with the IDA setup. that\'s what i plan to use on my car.

[MikeLMR]

I enjoyed it LoL ... it may be used somewhere else. They will fit just about any 45 DCOE manifold.

[MikeLMR]

well I got it back last week and it drives really nicely, very responsive and a lot different from when it was on the Nikki and it does about 25% more to the gallon than before ... It is also a "little" bit louder :rollin.

Here are some piccies from last Tuesday





Since then I\'ve been in the isle of man and got back late yesterday afternoon and only put about 20 miles on the car  but I reached the decision that something needed changing so not one to mess around this is the the photos from today




Watch this space as they say

I of course will be sticking with a Mazda power :cool

[MikeLMR]

revised spec as of last weekend was

Microtech LTX8 ECU
4 direct fire bosch coils
2xGSXR600 Throttle bodies
2x500cc injectors
SS- exhaust all straight through with a single presilencer
Bosch Motorsport 040 fuel pump under the bonnet
Standard fuel pump as lift pump
Swirl pot under bonnet.

Will it make it to RS4 Mike?  Its been so long since I last saw this car running!

[MikeLMR]

hope so, thats the plan.
Don\'t forget I will be in Germany as of the 5th as well so it really  is cutting it fine.

Stop your excuses and get it done! :spank :rollin
