Drivetrain / 2.73 in the explorer 8.8
« on: September 03, 2023, 08:02:56 PM »
Has anyone tried to fit a 2.73 yet? I'm concerned about pinion clearance.

Reason being, I have a 7 speed DCT now and the 3.55 is just too short. First gear tops out at 30mph. Totally useless. Even a 3.08 is a tad on the short side.

Parts for Sale / SOLD CCW SP500 18x10+50 5x114.3
« on: March 03, 2023, 01:19:55 PM »
Includes 20 & 15mm hub centric spacers for the rear to make them flush without rubbing on an unrolled/pulled body. You'll want 20mm in the rear if your rear fenders are rolled which I can provide. Front fitment needs nothing for an FD RX-7. Gorilla shank/taper nuts are included. Fits the wheels perfectly. Black gloss powdercoat is fresh. Tires were mounted then removed.

These are $1500+ each new from CCW these days. Price does NOT include shipping.

SOLD

Thanks,

Patrick

Parts for Sale / SOLD Enkei GTC02 18x10.5 +45f/+35r 5x114.3
« on: March 03, 2023, 01:11:14 PM »
New and still in the box is a sent of Enkei GTC02 wheels. Pretty much the max setup and ideal offset for an FD with rolled but not pulled fenders. The tires in the picture are the new Bridgestone RE-71RS @ 285/30-18 and are NOT included. Just for fitment reference.
Bolt pattern is 5x114.3
The 18x10.5+45 is pretty much sold out everywhere.
I had originally bought a set of four in a +45 but wanted the deeper face of the +35 in the rear. I could have run a spacer but purchased a second set of four in +35 purely for the aesthetics. Hence having a second brand new in sealed boxed.
Price is $1400 plus shipping. If shipping is over $200, I'll split the difference. Shipping to the contigfuous 48 states only. I will ship to Canada but cannot be held responsible for the shipping cost. 🙂

Parts WTB / WTB Full FD driveline minus hanress and cooling
« on: August 25, 2022, 01:22:04 AM »
As the title says, I'm looking for a full running drive line. Turbos don't need to work perfect, I just need a complete engine to move the car from a to b for transportation and inspection. I'll run my current ECU and cooling with it.

General Tech / Super mega blower fan motor(project)
« on: August 16, 2022, 11:22:00 PM »
I had made the swap to an RX-8 fan and it was better than the stock FD fan but not by much. In my past was was into RC things before and after the change to brushless and the near death of nitro. Got to thinking....maybe I can brushless overpower the fan.

I know there will be diminishing returns with how much the box can flow but I figure...why not force it.

The RX-8 fan pulls 8.5A at 13.1v with a sustained RPM of 3500. That comes out to about an 270kv motor and "only" 110W. My mind goes to racing drones where a 5" quad can pull in excess of 1600W at full tilt.

I think a 5-8mm shaft will be sufficient. Anything over 600w capable will be enough. I'm looking in the 500kv range. Will theoretically give me double the RPM for the same current since brushless is almost always double the efficiency.

Looking in the 5050 size motors at 500kv and a speed controller in the 60A range. Overkill will hopefully mean longevity.

The only thing I'm not sure on is the shaft to the fan. It's rather offset to the top making vibration management very difficult without upper support. May use a pair of bearings and flex joint to support the whole thing mounted to a laser cut mounting plate.

Teaser testing

First test will probably run a cheaper china motor similar to this one in spec.

Pretty niche question but... If I cannot figure this out I'm going to have to sell the FD. REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to sell.

They recently standardized 25 years across the states/territories there but added some BS cali style rules. The car is nearly 30 years now but they whole driveline is modded. I contacted an importer and they don't think they could get it excepted(to the rules). I'd have to convert to stock.

Anyone have a stock driveline I can borrow for a year? I wish I were joking.

Car as it sits:
Fresh Montego blue non sun roof 99spec body
Ronin subframe, headers, and 8.8 diff setup.
440 wetsump LS7
M5 DCT
Ohlins
Radium fuel sump
Maxx ECU Pro and PDM
No ABS/Airbag
Electric power steering.

Parts for Sale / Samberg front subframe and bits
« on: July 07, 2022, 02:35:45 PM »
I have a recently powder coated subframe with c5 alum mounts, biscuits and bump steer included. The only thing missing is the trans mount.

The outer portion of the bump steer is still on the car at the paint shop. I can get it to you as soon as I pick up the car. End of Aug at the latest. If you're in a rush, I can remove the bump steer stuff at a discount.

I'm asking $350 plus shipping.

Parts for Sale / Ronin LSX Swap headers and merge
« on: December 01, 2021, 09:53:10 AM »
SOLD

Whelp, the driver side is just a hair off from fitting with my DCT. Joel was kind enough to offer an unwelded set so here are mine up for sale.

The headers have no scratches, scrapes or dents. Merge has one on the joint.

The Y tucks up as high as possible without hitting. It uses a vibrant merge with a single 3.5" outlet. Header clamps are included. I can include the 3.5" side mating v band of necessary.

Asking $1150 shipped in the CONUS.

Suspension/Brakes/Wheels / Active wheel speed sensors for an FD
« on: October 26, 2021, 02:11:20 PM »
Has anyone added active(hall) sensors to their hubs while using the stock 44 tooth tone ring? Cherry sensors as an example.

My VR ABS sensors still work but they pick up a lot of noise while stationary. I'm wanting to add active sensors for my MaxxECU.

General Tech / To buy or not...it's orange
« on: September 01, 2021, 10:07:07 PM »
So this car was posted for sale and it's only 30min from me. The paint is only 3 weeks old. It's not perfect but it's really close. The paint was probably about $10k. Owner is asking $30k. If the car didn't have a sunroof I wouldn't even be making this post but here we are. It does have a sunroof.

So why am I making this post when I already have a 94 FD?

In under 18 months I'll be moving to Australia. My 94 cannot go with me because Queensland is even more stupid than the US. They do not allow LHD cars under 30years old. My car also needs paint rather badly. No rust but very bad paint. The orange car was built in May of 1992 and can be imported immediately when I retire from the military. My car was built April of 1994.

If I bought the car, I would swap over the entire interior and running gear and ONLY use the body. The orange car has a fully running Automatic motor and trans. Even the A/c works. Aside from the color and double din radio it's completely stock.

I think with a mostly complete interior(93) I could sell my chassis for 18kish and the engine for another 5-8k. Not that the DCT nuts need auto rear irons it should be an easy sell.

Yes/no?

Interior/Exterior / Aftermarket HVAC in an FD
« on: June 05, 2021, 01:09:45 AM »
While my current HVAC with RX-8 fan does okay for San Antonio heat I'm looking for a system that makes me cold. I'll be moving to Brisbane in the next couple years and it's just as hot there us 20-30% more humidity. Oh ya...black car.

In an FD, has anyone run a system similar to those below. I'll take experience from FC folks too. Pleople like Shaniac that live in the NE need not apply.

The stock HVAC in the FD is actually pretty huge and I think I can run most of the units these companies sell.

Asking $1100 for the harness, ECU and widebands
