finally pics of my RB powered spitfire

[rbspitfire]

here are some pics of my spitfire thats almost complete, i had to build a new everything, crossmembers, firewalls, transmission tunnels dashboard...

[rbspitfire]

i cant figure out how to post more than one so i will put them on seperatly

[rbspitfire]

you will see i even had to move the turbo.

[rbspitfire]

my main problem is that my downpipe is about 1.5-2" off the ground

[Kansei240sx]

that is frackin awesome, I like the turbo relocation.

[rbspitfire]

this car makes a miata look big

[rbspitfire]

...

[rbspitfire]

it only weighs 1700lbs it pulls like a 12 second car and its stock unintercooled.

[rbspitfire]

to give a perscective on how small it is im only 5'10"

Awesome swap!! Looks like you spent alot of time figuring out how to make everything fit. One question though...why are you leaving it unintercooled??? I'd think you'd need at least the stock SMIC to make some respectable power and to bring the intake temps down to a respectable level.

very nifty swap, but you need to recirc the bpv else it will stall...

thats really sweet. cant wait to hear some stories of pulling up beside an unsuspecting mustang or even a corvette. congrats on the swap. very clean.

btw im sure there are some tiny intercoolers you could put on that 'u' pipe you made there, just to even give it a little bit of cooling.

[rbspitfire]

im actually running a meth injection system, so i can have cooler temps and when i put a bigger turbo run plenty o boost! i used to run 24psi on pump gas on my GN!

[REDLN]

sweet swap you did a lot of work on that. That look like you have a small radiator too. any video's of it running?

[Yellow4g63]

nice project, very nice.

[Darius]

That is such a cool project! Now all you need are some 9" meats on the back for traction

I can't wait for a video of it in action!

[l0nestar]

That is awesome! Good Job! Question: Did the doghouse roll forward from the factory, or did you do that yourself as well?

[kjlindgr]

Looking at a car with an engine that doesn't belong in the bay is cool. Good work.

werd, i ran mine like that and it would die out. NICE work though!!

[kouki-gymkhana]

How much boost do you plan on running?? (Hopefully not 24psi on the stock bottom end!)

[rbspitfire]

i plan to run 15-16psi with a good t3/t4 and bigger injectors.

Wow, very unique project. Nice job!
