FD3 Triple Rotor Build

[leeroy_25]

Hi Guy\'s I am finally back to the rotary scene and have a new project underway..  I just couldn\'t stay away!
Thought some of you might be interested to see it progress very slowly! I will try and post some pics and details here from time to time but I am struggling to find time to keep the webpage updated at present. So the build can be found here:
http://rspowerprojects.wordpress.com/projects/rx7-fd3-triple-rotor/
Or you can just go to the homepage //www.rspowerprojects.co.uk and navigate from there.

I am trying to update weekly or certainly every fortnight at least. Depending on how much progress I make!

Please post any questions or comments here and I will reply.

Hope you guys enjoy the build and with any luck I will actually manage to complete it!

Cheers
Lee

Just in case people are not subscribed I thought I would let you know I have added more pics and progress onto my website..
I have been busy generally so not done as much as I would have liked to but also not had time to get on with the updates!

Sorry, missed this first time round, this really has to be one of the best documented web sites out there on a tripple conversion, I look forward to some real sized pictures on here as your excellent work continues :Thumbsup!

Hi Clive,
Thanks.. I will get some choice pics on here eventually when I am a bit further on. If you just want to see more details I think you can click on the pictures and it opens them up full size?
Maybe I should be leaving a bit more to the imagination!?!

Bir confused Leeroy on your turbo exhaust manifold design, it does not show pipes to go to an external wastegate, will you incorporate this after?

[Speedworks]

How did you mnage to make the big bend towards the turbo flange to be more \'rectangular\'?

[leeroy_25]

Hi Guy\'s..
Good spot Blitz boy.. It will be going on later though. Probably right in the top of the bend at just under the flange facing forward. I have kind of offered it up in the engine bay but wanted to get the rest welded up so I can fit it properly and make sure I won\'t foul anything. As yet I have no Rad or water pipes and bits like that to set-up around either so I have to be careful I don\'t put the wastegate in a space I might need for something else down the line!

As for squaring up the pipe Speedworks that was the combination of a big vice, G clamp, and hammering around forming tools! Took a bit to get it just right as I had worked out the tube diameter based on the perimeter of the T4 opening so it didn\'t leve a nasty step in the flow path.

Well. I did a bit more on the manifold this weekend and posted up some more pictures on the website. Almost there! With the manifold!

Looking like it will be very tidy
