    It's getting a turbo from the beginning. If I have to build the exhaust, I'm only going to build it once and not NA then turbo...

    Wayne, you mentioned before the mods to make the H6 fit were minor, did you happen to take any pictures of those mods?

    Are you following the same strategy with the H6 to limit the cylinder pressure to around 9.5 to 10 to 1 to maintain the drivability as well as the desired power/torque? You must have checked to see how much the EZ30 can take without modifying the internals. That should also limit the revs but still get the needed hp within those limits. This is really cool stuff!

    Good stuff Wayne. Have you gone through the gel coat while blocking yet? It all looks very uniform. I was wondering if you could just shoot these for a quick, low cost color change or if they must be primered first. I'll be interested to see if you get any pinholes or if the gel holds up under blocking.

    Erik, Erik, Erik,
    A: Wayne doesn't sand, I know what I'm good at and body work isn't on the list...
    B: This car is going to be in FFR's booth at SEMA, it has to be over the top perfect.
    C: Only show quality paint jobs roll out of my shop so a quick low cost color change never crossed my mind.

    I've been friends Erik for quite a while so know that I'm just poking fun at him and he'll poke back at me at some point. Erik, first beer is on me at SEMA.

    Spray filler or yellow primer I see, or at least it looks that way.I plan on on blocking planels spray filling if needed block and than use a high build primer and block so it comes out really smooth. I can say I can sand and paint well, it is my thing more than the rest of the build lol. Although my build is going good, and I am having a lot of fun

    Wayne,

    So who's painting it? Maybe they'll know what I'm talking about. And I'll take that beer now dammit. I'll even dress up like a girl, albeit an ugly girl

    Hey, I just corrected the spelling of my name in your post! I didn't go in a post my secret fantasies like you did. No wonder you have to wear that ankle bracelet. Next time just use "e" as you know it so you won't have to do any spelling. Tee hee!

    Wayne, what's your current plan in terms of mods to the engine and accessories (hoses, exhaust and whatnot around) to fit and use that GTX?

    Head gaskets, valves, retainers, guides, higher flow head and/or IM, etc.
    You said no internals at the moment if I recall.
    You already modified the coolant lines.
    Maybe you already did other adjustments?

    And, please give us a good detailed pitch on your ECU & harness with what it will and won't do. I really don't want to tackle the OE harnesses. I said "please" like Mom taught me.

    I am curious about this as well after seeing the picture on that other build thread of the stock harness. It would be nice if the harness could deal with A/C or be an easy add on since I live in TX and am going to need it.

    Ever sat at a light in a car when it was 100 with no top or A/C? Ever sat at a light in a car when it was 100 with no top with A/C? There is a difference.

    Maybe use something out of an EV car or this ??....http://www.grassrootsev.com/airconditioner.htm
    I wouldn't want an AC pump on the motor with piping
    Put it in the front next to the batt & add a little weight on the front axel
    or move to Calif where the taxes & politicians are way to high.
    One thing you got going is the motor is in the back, not like the roadster, 33, coupe- no forced heat into the cockpit

    If you are looking at the APR GTC 200 they start at $750, the GTC 300 like on FFR's blue 818 R they are $1430

    Right, so these are height adjustable, seems to. I didn't know that. I like the wing cuz it fits lower on the car, but I don't want a small lip on the rear trunk either. A low big wing is nice. Only thing is not sure how aerodynamically efficient they (low big wings) would be since AFAIK only the big FFR R wing and the new FFR S wing (I haven't see yet) have been flow tested.

    A knockoff carbon fiber Subaru s202 wing is easily and inexpensively obtained. Not as good at making down force as the aggressive Apr wings but is functional.

    Yeah but to put some down force the entire car needs to flow air onto the wing.
    If FFR tested their S wing and will offer it, what tells us a, say, APR GTC 200 wing would be better or worse in terms of down force, drag, top speed, etc.?

    Actually, that may not be the thread to discuss about this. But anyway I am throwing out the question.

    Yes to both. I guess I've just conceded that the car will be a spartan vehicle with little to no amenities. Guess that doesn't mean everyone's car has to be that way.

    Agreed, mine won't have A/C, at least initially and it will suck in the summer. My point was that even without a top, A/C helps. Back on topic, awesome job Wayne! Can't wait to see what else you do for this community!
