Akina's build

[Exidous]

A curve to match the A pillars would look great!

I love the wing mounts, I think you should keep em.

Thanks guys. I'll make a second set out of some scrap and see what we think. I have also been playing with how to put LED's in them for brake lights like the V8 supercars have in the wing stands.

Slowly chipping away and ordering more materials. I got the diff and trans coolers mounted in final position. The hard lines for the fuel and oil are done along with the fire suppression being plumbed now, pull cables included. Sadly, I didn't take completed picks of the fire system, I'll do that this week. I also finished the cooling lines in the engine bay.

I was just staring at the first picture for quite a while wondering how you managed to stuff a multi-link rear into your FC

Anything's possible!     with enough money and time haha

Lots of little things being done but she's getting closer to engine time. All the plumbing is done in the rear of the car minus brake lines, coolant lines are done and finishing the oil lines now. Much excite!

Ok I need to know, how are you plumbing your cooling system fill point into the heater ports like that?  It is just a common reservoir?  The way mine is now is just a single line from the top of the radiator end tank to the bottom of the surge tank, and the steam port empties into the surge tank, and there's an overflow out to a puke tank.

Using the heater line ports for fill/recirc. One side of the can I built is pressurized with the radiator cap on it, steam tubes from the heads all connect to central fitting under the intake manifold then go to that side of the tank (I didn't have the -4 AN nipple welded on for the steam lines yet in that pic) The other half of the tank is the expansion tank/overflow. The tank is positioned at the highest point in the system. So far, it's worked well on several race cars!  -12 and -10 lines btw

Oh damn that is awesome...a two sided tank makes sense! 

[AKINA FC]

Plumbing is basically finished, need to finalize clamps, insulation, small things. Hard lines in the tunnel will be done when the drivetrain comes back out again for motor build and what not. All of the electronics are now in the car minus the rear view camera. Getting close!! I will race this season!!

This seriously is like looking at art. I love the simplicity & attention to detail....been staring at your pictures the last 10 minutes.


Curious about your tune. Are you running  in SD only or going blended with MAF/VE?

[Exidous]

I wish MaxxECU supported a MAF. Granted, I could probably custom table it within the ECU.

I'd love to run a MAF/SD hybrid like the OEs.

Thanks!! Just VE for now though. Drivability is much greater with blended which I might jack with later as this is still "street legal" haha

[AKINA FC]

Thanks for the compliments guys! Trying to make a showy racecar haha
