ghetto DP for RX and new motor is in. pics be ware!


Recommended Posts

well I completed the motor and removed the old one with low compression. trasfered all the parts and droped it in a few days ago. today I got an idea to modify an old modified DP from my last RX for this car. the one that came with it was rattling a lot when it was running so I decided to slap together a cheapo down pipe. here are a few pics for you all to get a good laugh with. and yes the DP will bolt into the stock location.

and the new motor all installed and purring like a babby white seal.

all coolant lines are now silicone(including that little 1/4" guy up front)

 

now it sits and waits for RallyX season to start up again. its going to be fun. he he.

I likes the DP. You even opened up the rear flange. I'm guessing the cat internals are not stock. I bet you saved a bit on parts too. I would totally use that!

 

FMIC = cool in more than one way.

 

the DP was hacked and gutted when I got it orginally. I then proceded to add the waste gate dump into the gutted cat. it sat around. I tried to give it away(Junkie) then tried to sell it but no takers so I fabed up a 2.5" outlet pipe out of spare parts. basically cost a little bit of welding wire and electricity. I think it will work ok.

 

the relocated battery and FMIC were on the car when I bought it.

 

the change over to silicone all coolant hoses was all me.

 

it had a lightened flywheel and high performace clutch disc that was tossed in on the deal.

 

soon to be sitting on the gold Enkeis that were also in the deal. along with 8 rallytires.

 

Caleb would be proud of the budget to complete this car.

:grin:

thanks all for the good words. Now If I only had more than a 1000 bucks to buy an RX and build a motor it would be really somthing special. I dont count the cost of parts leftover from old projects.

 

Caleb, have I snatched the pebble yet?
