5 GT Turbo F4Rt - hopefully the correct decision

[DaveL485]

I fitted one of the clutch plates the wrong way round meaning I can’t select gears when engine is running

Sorry but

If it makes you feel any better I have done it too.

Twice!

 

[Mark Davis]

Well, cracked on today. Engine out, box off, sorted clutch, back together and back in all within 60 mins. Will be back together and ready to start by the weekend.

I hear the wind direction will be changing, so I guess you'll be taking the engine out again

 

[Mark Davis]

Back in the game guys, with a bit of hard work, perseverance and using some common sense. (That’s always a tough one for me) the car fired up and I can select gears as you would expect.

The pedal is pretty manly but I reckon I’ll get used to it after a few miles.

Not been out testing for leaks yet but if it leaks this time I’ll live with it.

Time to book mapping, make 500hp and then destroy my gearbox.

Here’s a random picture.

Result!

...destroy my gearbox trying to make 500hp

Fixed that for you

I finally got round to purchasing the F4R to 02M adaptor plate from Chris at EFI. Another part of the conversion in place for when current set up explodes.

 

[Mark Davis]

It does however look like it’s been in the parts bin for 10 years.

I'd imagine it quite literally has, I bet he batch ordered a bunch of them and they just sit in stock! Quick clean up and it'll be fine.

When buying laser cut items you have to buy in bulk to get the costs down.

Wd40 and some scotchbrite can work wonders.

I’ve bought a new car, it’s a silly car in so many ways but it’s also fucking amazing in so many ways too. Pretty decent spec too;

Mods include;
Engine Rebuild at 93,000
New Excedy Clutch
Turbonetics T62-1 Single Turbo Conversion
Battery relocated to the boot
Rota MXR 18's 10j fronts 11j rears
Large Front Mount Intercooler, Custom Hard piping by Pro4m
Large Radiator
Greddy Manifold
Greddy Intake Elbow (Very Rare)
Greddy Type R External Wastegate
Greddy Profec B Boost Controller
1650cc Secondary Injectors on a DM Motorsport Fuel Rail
Custom Downpipe
FEED Silenced Mid-pipe
HKS Hi-Power Silent Cat Back exhaust
HKS Turbo Timer
Front & Rear Upper Strut Brace
HSD adjustable Coilovers
AEM Wideband
Boost Guage
Coilpack Relocation
Apexi Power FC ECU with Hand Controller
Fuel Lab FPR

A claimed 400hp with print out but that was a few years ago before rebuild and with a smaller turbo so hoping with a good map it could make 450 upwards.

Is this sacrilege to the forum @andybond ? Although to be fair you’ve got a Lotus.

 

[Adey]

only thing that's sacrilege is that God awful wing. I'm a fan of a low and smooth rx7. In fact I'd take a supra smoothed off too. Nice buy, I want a go
