REIGN's REBUILD! Its a beautiful thing... (THAT IS FOR SALE) =(

[rakkasan]

HEY! Whats up man! I recognize that plate! lol...

Yeah, massive, seriously... And heavy too... My last FMIC was a Spearco, and it was alot smaller and lighter, lol... Thing has 3" inlets and outlets... Welds all look fantastic... Fins are straight... I feel really confident in this piece...

Price: $204 shipped... YAY! And I got it in 2 days...

Cool, looks like the same I/C I have. I'm pleased with mine too. I was beginning to wonder what you were up to these days since you hadn't updated your thread in a while.

One hell of a deal. And it looks industrial enough to cool that new Bugatti.

I picked mine up for $168 shipped.....:icon_razz Deals are out there, you just have to look around & be patient.

Ordered my AEM, clutch, Aero 1000hp fuel pump and oil pump yesterday...

Its all coming together, slowly but surely...

 

[Silvasoup]

Looking good Jake! Yah need lots of Dr. P to finish the job in this Fl heat.

 

[Reign_Maker]

YAY! I got an MR2 clutch! lol...

 

[IJ.]

LOL think about it Mid Engine MR2 Turbo would punish a clutch!

 

[Reign_Maker]

It would? I dont knwo anything about MR2s, I was just suprised...

Anyway, i know a made a main thread about this, but thought I'd wake up my build thread with a pic... I think people might forget I own one of these cars, lol...

 

[IJ.]

Yep midmounts always beat the shit out of clutches!
(Motor's full weight over the rear axle makes for good traction)

 

[Reign_Maker]

Yeah, everyone recommended getting rid of the ACT pressure plate... So I got the RPS 3200lb PP... Drivability is suppose to be pretty good... We'll see though...

 

[Bigzavs]

lookin good jake, wuts that clutch rated to?

 

[Reign_Maker]

They sayyyyy 625ft/lbs of torque... But I've been told it can hold alot more... The clamping force of the RPS pressure plate is incredible, that's the key really... The ACT has about 500lbs less clamping... If the disc doesnt work out, I'll go with a ferramic, but this clutch should handle my "street" performance needs with my occasional track runs...

Talk to Sean at Titan Motorsports, he took good care of me on this clutch... *and on alot of other parts too*

 

[Reign_Maker]

OK, I meant to do this earlier, but I didnt...

I have one of those ss T4 mani's, but it had the usual flaws... The wastegate flange is turned 90* out, so the dump pipe from my HKS w/g is either going to hit the block or the strut tower... And of course, the compressor housing on my turbo was hitting the runner... The other thing, I found wierd, only 2 bolts of the T4 flange lined up with my housing...

So one of my good friends is a master welder for the Airforce, and he's a car freak, so he's offered to help me with my welding needs...

First he cut the w/g flange off and rotated it 90* and rewelded it... Then cut a perfectly matching flange for my turbo out of stainless steel and tapped threads into the flange... Also, if you've seen the T4 flanges, they are split, my turbine housing isnt, so my buddy took care of that...

On to the pics! **I took a few pics, so thought I'd post a few links instead of all the pics, but feel free to check them all out, his work is top notch**

Yeah but Joel, you know some of your handy work will be represented on this ride! :love:

Steve, thanks... Im lucky to have a friend with such great skills... Like I said, he's a master welder for the Air Force, so ha HAS to be good... I mean, he's welding up 10 million dollar airplanes and putting the lives of those pilots and passengers in his hands with the parts he makes... The testing is rigorous for them... I mean the guy actually welded two coke cans together... Literally... Cut two cans in half and welded them together... Skills... :aigo:

Ian, I still dont think you exist... The day I actually MEET you, I think I'll be stunned! lol... *BTW: I sent a PM to one of the Admins over at SF to try to get you re-instated as a member, she wrote me back, said she would see into it... Bradman finally wrote me back, but he BLOCKED me so I cant write him back, what a pussy... So anyway, just so you know, I got your back, even if you are a figment of my imagination... LOL! *crazy laugh* IAN IS MY IMAGINARY FRIEND! */crazy laugh*
