I\'ve got everything required apart from Correct emissions thankyou

[Grant Monkhouse]

Best of luck from me too. But as far as I can see all you have is an unfinished RX-4 shell and no engine??? Be good to see Haywards make it into the 10s though. We need to take it to the fast piston boys as there numbers are increasing

The car is further on than what my thread shows.

Have been trying figure out electrical system. Removing unnecessary wires and also splice in the wiring harness for the engine. And also mounting battery in the boot, amongst other those things.

I don\'t think most rotary owners pass emissions without some tweaking and backhanders.

To go 10 seconds in an rx4 you wont need as much power as what an FD requires to make it go 10 seconds due to weight. Therefore PP ports unecessary, by my reckoning 400-430rwhp will be enough so a decent street port, turbo like a T78,T04Z,GT40** at 1.2 BAR will do the trick.
Grant will be a welcome addition to the drag pits, you seem have your head screwed on when I spoke to you at Pod.

Cheers. :Ladys-man

I\'m hope that once I start running the car, everything will hold together, the rear end is a genuine13b rx4 one which are supposed to be really strong, rx4 runs 9\'s in NZ with one

However if it breaks I will find something better, I believe ford 8" riffs can be built to take 15hp now, and they\'re lighter than the 9" diffs.

I have an LSD in it too already, supplied from Audtralia.

All bushes have been replaced for something a lot better than the rubber ones.

The diff is unsprung weight. The body and chassis is where ir needs to be lost. Weight moves to the rear under acceleration but you dont want to much of that.
Gearing in the diff and box are just as important as the engine. You can have all the horses in the world but you still need the delivery

I can have any kind of diff ratio from 3.9 all the way to 5.1, so I have theability to change it to what works best. However I won\'t be going for the 3.9 s that\'s for top end speed rather than accelration.

Have a look at the kia sportage final drive. Its about 4.7 from memory. I ran one in the 7 and if you can get one with the lsd then bonus. I paid £50 for mine from the breaker with the lsd. I think the Honda S2000 will fit also:cheers

I also think that the track at santapod is quite a decent track now. Well the top fuelers this weekend seemed to think it was absolutely fine. Every top fueler made a full pass which is quite rare.

3 x 300+ runs
3 x sub 5 second passes
1 run at 4.8 seconds 250mph as the driver ( a woman by the way) let off the throttle really early.

In conclusion, if 8,000hp dragsters can hook up on that track then our 500Hp rotaries should do too.

Oh and they have also just replaced the launch pad which was so grippy that Andy Robinson was have trouble in his pro mod stude setting up the clutch to get out of the hole. He hadn\'t made one full pass in 3 days of practice and qualifying.

I already have that :cheers

Lovely job

[Grant Monkhouse]

Lovely job

Why thank you sir.

Calcted top speed with that off ratio and fd gear box ratios is 140mph I think, at 8,500 rpm.
I will re check though

Hi Brian,

These should be different, the one in yours was 26 spline, RX-4 13b is on 28 spline....not aware of any interchanges, I\'d be interested to know what source its from!

130mph in 4th gear at 8,500 rpm
