Splitime, I've always wondered about the engine bracing, does it do much?. Also I think I have your car as my desktop background.
I dont currently have my car with me but Im N/A so Im sure you'll forgive me |

That's so not the splitime piece - there's no cnc or tig welding :giggle:
The easiest way to get an idea of what that piece will reduce, is to rev your engine by hand while watching it rock. :eek5: Then think about what all the driving load and accel load does to it. |

I like that torque thing you did for the motor. I need to do something like that. Hmm... If you did it again would you do it differently? Might be a weekend project. :) |

These were taken a year ago. The car is no longer black up front, and a lot of things have been taken out of the engine bay since then. I'll get around to taking updated pictures one of these days.

My car is usually pretty clean on the outside but my engine bay is downright embarassing.
Anyone have tips for getting oily smudges out of the valve cover/IM? :bang: Attachment 207559 |
Paint? If you want to keep that look, I say sand or wire wheel it a bit, then cover with aluminum colored paint.
|
I used paint thinner and scrubbing. It still looked like shit when I painted it. I recommend you cut off the front of the cam covers so you can more easily check the timing and do the timing belt more easily.

Savington - use some Sea Foam and q-tips

Better shot taken tonight. Getting closer to firing her up.

Cost me like 4 bucks to make? If what you are trying to achieve is control or limit torque reaction, then the angle is all wrong....it would need to attach somewhere low on the vehicle frame, not straight across. That torque strap is not doing a thing. |
No, low on the frame is not preferable. Mine worked great, and wasn't even as well designed as Splitime's. It worked even better than the damn-near-solid MMR mounts I had, and didn't transmit as much vibration to the chassis (massive understatement).
Think about the rotation of the engine. The head is much further from the crankshaft's centerline than the location of the engine mounts. |

this one's a little old. it's a little different now, samco hoses, different catch can mounted in nose, and couple little odds/ends. plan on changing intake/filter, ic piping to aluminum and more heat shielding for trackdays in summer. it was 105deg. in the shade last august at texas world speedway and 127* track temp.!

Can i request a close up shot of your front T-stat housing? Is that both your front and rear temp sensor in the same location? Looks like the same green connector on the rear. More info please? With my Begi spacer i keep messing these clips up and would like to relocate my rear sensor somehow.

And in reference to my 'dampener'.. uh, it works perfectly up there. It is setup to stop the motor from pulling to the passenger side as it does when you rev it. Nothing more. It cost almost nothing to make and consisted of 1 big turn buckle, some bolts/nuts from my misc bolt box and a foot of angle iron/dremel'd/drilled to order. I have Mazdaspeed motormounts which are nice, but the brace actually tightened it up even more. Thanks for playing. |
