i spoke to a custom garage today, he is doing some numbers and getting back to me,

he is extremely confident,

and has done things like this before, not the exact same, but swapping engines with jap turbo cars

What happened to your team of fabricators and cad skills?

wow you guys are really critical

have you ever heard of collaborating

you cannot do everything on your own

i have different guys making different things

all these components have to come from somewhere

gearbox adapter plate

custom CV chafts

custom tail shaft

custom exhaust

ECU wiring

throttle bodies

inter cooler piping

custom engine mounts

custom bonnet

fuel setup

custom panel beating the engine bay (big hammer)

you want me to make all that on my own, ill be here for the rest of my life

so i have found the best guys in each area to help me out

sorry if i spread the work around

my guys have certain skills, they cant do everything

now if i said i had a team of magicians, thats a different story

Wow, yes its going to be expensive, he said he didn't care about cost, if I had money to throw around I would get a Toyota 4 litre V8 in my 5 and then blow it, is that smart or stupid, who cares what other people think, I don't.

As for the RB, yes it was a good OLD motor, but by Christ there are better newer powerplants out there.

Stop posting, buy it and build it, post in here when its done.

As for the fab work, you need a pelethera of subject matter experts and fabricators for a project that involves lots of mechanical and electrical engineering.

Its been done before, its not new, just make it happen.

BTW, all this talk about street racing makes me think you are a pimply school kid, if this is indeed true, please go away now, thanks for the LOLS everyone.

Quoted for truth

Looks like it bump steers like a mofo! What's with the manual stick AND the tiptronic? Wierd....

Sounds like he's running 044's too....

Looks more painful than enjoyable that's for sure!

looks like it runs an air shifted box of some sort...liberty maybe

Winner!

It is a drag car only, they have run mid 7's with an RB... now with a VR inside.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
