wrcbfmr Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Right well I've been directed to this site by some bum who's randomly been staying at mine for the last few months (Fred) so thought i'd see what its all about. My current project is this... Was originally built and owned by Fabian Coulthard the V8 driver (and the guy that had the epic crash last bathurst) had it dyno'd about a year and a half ago, 150kw ATW. with this setup... was running forged pistons, an OLD e6a haltech, that massive old garret turbo off an early 80's thunderbird, bigger intercooler etc etc. anyway, i decided i wanted a new manifold, got a bit carried away and all of a sudden the car became this... and stayed like this for quite some time.

wrcbfmr Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 so me and a mate had a few beers and decided to start on the manifold to fit the evo 6 twin scroll td05hr turbo... the final product being this on it goes... also put in the 256 HKS camshafts at this point and the new cambelt.

wrcbfmr Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 evo 6 intercoolers all mocked up, need a few bits wielded on piping, and missing a piece to go to intake (2.5") hybrid hyundai/mitsi/mazda wasted spark setup and thats pretty much the engine side of things as they stand...

wrcbfmr Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 have also done the galant brake upgrade, stock brakes are crap, and mounted on the inside of the hub which makes changing discs a pain.... so lathed down the stock hub to fit the bigger slotted discs, will be using mazda GTX calipers, also braided lines. have to use mx6 studs to allow for the extra length needed also upgrading to the larger 1" master cylinder off a mazda GTR for better pedal pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrcbfmr Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 full set of custom racing logic coil over suspension has been put in too... picked up a genuine GTAE front bumper for it too, which should hide everything nicely, and still look the buis... and the old seats were had it and uncomfortable as hell so got some recaro's out of a bighorn and chucked them in... so yeah, pretty much at the stage where we're almost ready to start wiring in the new MS2, just need to do a bit more fab work and mount the i/c and radiator. then we're ready to rock and roll with the tuning side of things. which will be done by me and the infamous fred haha. hope to have it going in two weeks time but that may be pushing it a bit....

fuel Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 wow that's pretty tidy - you barely see any like that any more. Liking the amount of Mitsi bits in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrcbfmr Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 haha, more like WAS pretty tidy, my mate owned it before me, "stockified it" ie.. ripped out the roll cage and some other bits so his mrs could drive it... she then proceeded to do things like reverse into poles... drive into curbs, etc. biggest thing is to get it going first though! but yeah its not bad, just needs some tidying up.... Haha, as for mitsi parts, well yeah haha. keep an eye on this, hoping to put an evo box on it at some stage. gonna smash through boxes like nobody's buisness now. got two spares in the garage haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Nice, lover of the BFMR here. They are a fun little car to drive even close to standard. Got ther engine running/dyno'd yet running the Td05h? Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrcbfmr Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 yeah i love them eh, good old 80's icon. na not yet, will be road tuning but have a dyno day some time next month so will see what she puts out then. if the gearbox/s last till then! hoping for car to be running over the next few weeks... going to be interesting how it goes re lag etc. should be okay i think, hard to tell as i don't know of many worked b6t's around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishtailfred Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Two dead Mazdas in one garage, both slow (stationary), I wonder which will be faster in 2 weeks time? Mine has an ECU and no engine. Yours has an engine and no ECU. Gissa race? Rolling start (so I have traction and your gearbox holds together!) straight line (because the ute doesn't like going around corners (without over or understeer) at the moment...).

michael0008 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 nice work man the bg radiators are sooo much better and are a cheap upgrade , you must be getting close to being drivable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrcbfmr Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 yeah definitely gonna need it for the track. pretty close, just those bits and pieces to do then install the ms2 and its tuning time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrcbfmr Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 this is what i got done over the weekend.... dash back in, all dash lights working and hooked up, relays in for ecu, fuel pump, peak and hold injector box and coils, fused as well. most of the wiring will get redone once ive got round to tidying it all up and checked it all works and no changes are needed (ie heat shrunk and shortened, grouped into numbered plugs, hidden and cable-tied away....) Relays Flux capacitor wires all labelled for wasted spark signals from ecu dash back in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
