Adam's Canadian 13B Rotary 818-SR Build

[Canadian818]

Been a few weeks, I was away for work. However there was a big box from summit, small bag from Full-race, and a msg from my local shop saying my AEM stuff was in! Gotta love that! I've been picking at the car the past week, not much to post about. Finally finished porting my manifold and tapped for my Full-race studs. Just waiting on my dual Egt gauge kit to arrive before mounting the turbo. Installed 500# springs in the rear, finished welding up my rear LCA's and powder coated them. I now think I have everything needed for wiring, except for the ecu, but I won't need that for awhile. Hope to start laying out the AEM and painless harnesses tomorrow and make a plan of attack. My focus will be on the engine, everything else can wait.

My alignment took a lot longer than expected, big thanks to Hindsight for all the tips, they helped a lot. Obviously I'll need to adjust again once at full weight, but it needed to be close before I start hacking up fiberglass. I was extremely surprised at how much caster I was able to get, so much so that I had to re-read the instructions to make sure I was doing it right. Here's a pic of my setup and finished numbers...





As you can see by my progress going down I lost camber and gained caster going down the list. However even at my final settings the rear upper adjustment wasn't maxed out on either side. There's still camber to be had and keep +6 caster.

Front
350# springs
+6* caster
-1.5* camber
3/16 total toe in
5" ride height (25" tires)

Rear
500# springs
-1* camber
1/4" total toe in
5.125" ride height (26" tires)
