13bt in a series 3

[Archbish]

OK, probably won\'t be doing the 20" chromies - but no promises about the neons... *GRIN*

it MIGHT be cheaper to buy a turbo manifold already made up in Oz and get it shipped - any opinions???  Having seen mr yorks home made car trailer, I am sure his technical skills far outweigh mine in the same way venice far damper than the Gobi desert...

Got any pics boyo? Sounds a cool project, best to keep it looking stock though

www.archbish.com  Where else? *GRIN*

[travellinbob]

yep I guess that there would probably be a few tuning shops that would have them in stock. Wasnt someone in oz producing cast aftermarket ones?? maybe that is just wishfull thinking.
 Cool websit too.

So got the 12a front plate on the engine, and getting to the point of plumbing bits back on.  Aaaaaaaaannnnnnddddd the water pump catches on the front plate???  Is this normal?  I\'ve not seen it mentioned anywhere, but putting the 12a front plate next to the 13bt one, the 13bt is clearly \'notched\' in a bit to accomodate the housing of the waterpump...

bit confused on this - have I the wrong front plate?  Am I doing something stupid with the waterpump??

 Help would be appreciated as am a bit baffled...

And you dont have to walk far:WaveBye

[Archbish]

Rock and roll dude - you got your engine back now???  WINNER!!! *grin*  Will call you tomorrow pm.

Hi

I have a glass sunroof and a metal one ( black ) still in the bag mazda give you to protect them

Let me know if you are interested as I was about to ebay them to clear my garage of spare rx7 parts!

[pdtaylor18]

if there is anything you need as far s looms etc for the TII then give me a shout as i have a vast array of switches, control boxes, TII spares and the important manifold if you need it. The manifold is made from iron and is home made but dam solid and you can cut and reweld to suit your car.

[Archbish]

Cheers guys.  I\'m going to try and use a universal loom for most of the stuff, and hopefully a microtech loom that will do just the engine bits, but a couple of engine mounts would be cool...!!:D

Antnicuk,did you ever get arround to the turbo2+subframe,brakes etc etc into a gen1?

[antnicuk]

I never went ahead with mine,  the series 3 was too heavy for my likeing so i went for a kit car.  RX motors did one for Tim Pamponi on here.  Not sure how he got on but i think its done.
