Building A Exo-busa Kit Car

[Franknbeans]

Very cool project. How about fabricating an elbow oil drain that extends out a couple inches and turns down between the pipes with a screw plug on that? Not sure but maybe you can shave a bit off the front of the oil pan to get clearance? Looks like you only need a little bit in the video.

Yeah, I thought about doing that too... Rich at Rilltech mentioned exactly what you said.

I'm thinking a sidewinder exhaust is the way to go. Couple reasons, One, it would take the heat away from the oil and oil pan. Two, I have to run my water and electronics to the front of the car and they will be coming in right by the oil filter. Three, the brake lines will be following the same route and we all know what happens if your brake fluid over heats.

Well... I just ordered a Voodoo Sidewinder.. will see how that goes.

Question for you guys..

I still plan on running a oil cooler but the voodoo exhaust has the block off kit. Since they advise the block off kit they also advise to take out the oil restrictor plug behind the oil cooler.

Should I do this even if I am running a cooler still? Car will be 70% track focused with 30% on the road.

If are going to use the oil cooler, the plug stays in.
Also the plug is behind the oil filter, not the cooler.

Update on the build.

I got the Brock's clutch mod.
Picked up a Barnett Clutch
Grabbed a over drive oil pump gear.

Install all these this week.

Issue I am having right now is the exhaust is hitting the Rilltech oil pan now.
Here's a video on the issue if anyone wants to chime in.


The Rilltech sidewinder exhaust is way expensive. $1700+ for it.

I went with the Rilltech oil pan because I like the simple set up of the wet system and also it was cheaper than a dry sump system.

So now, I'm looking at other sidewinder exhausts I could modify to fit. . . I have a WTB thread started..

Looks like the VooDoo system would be easy to modify for my needs.

As far as the clutch goes, the OEM plate are a better option, they last much longer.

You also should install heavier clutch springs, and a slave support

that is awesome...

 

[Franknbeans]

as of now, I plan on running the stock air box.. I seen a airbox mod for the Gen1's. This worth doing?

Picked up the VooDoo Sidewinder exhaust... looks like it will work just fine.

 

[Franknbeans]

Removed the Pair valve for the exhaust to fit.. Picked up the pair valve block off plates.
Also grabbed the clutch slave support.

Ok guys... lookin for some help. I'm going to have to fit an electric water pump on the motor to keep everything cool during my track events. Bonus would be cycling the water after the hot laps to keep everything cool.

I noticed POWERHOUSE had one that connected right to the motor. Seems to be discontinued now.
Has anyone picked up this style since the discontinuation of the POWERHOUSE system?

What system would you all recommend?

He would be the one to talk to directly.

Ok, no one makes one like that anymore. For anyone searching in the future I found one from RCC that mounts to the motor.

Guys I didn't want to start another Pair Valve thread so I will post here and hope some one chimes in.

1. I pulled off the pair valve to fit the VooDoo Sidewinder exhaust.
2. I got block off plates for the holes right above the exhaust.

So now...
I am unsure of what all lines I need to plug. I noticed there is a vacuum line that goes to the carbs that hooked into the pair valve unit. Do I just cap this off?

I searched and didn't find a step by step DYI for this mod. Any help is much appriciated.

 

[Franknbeans]

Can anyone give me some insight on this.

 

[Franknbeans]

Since I have a lot or room to work with I grabbed one that has the same GPM flow rate and will plumb it in line.

(Did I do the pair valve removal correct? Post 72)

 

[Franknbeans]

just an update if anyone is following this thread.

Found a old plate and mounted it for placement. Then I mounted the reverse light under it.

Got the Header tank mounted. The battery is there for the reverse motor. Not sure on location yet, but I wanted it in place so I knew how much room I had to work with. 

Lines hooked up.

Radiator mounted.

So this is the plan for cooling the motor. As you can see above. I have a 5 gpm pump, radiator out of a R1 and I by passed the thermostat. Actually, I cut out the middle of the state to make the hole a bit smaller.

I picked up a PWD DC Motor Controller Variable Speed Regulator to control the speed of the water pump.


And, the muffler mounted. Need to take it to a shop to get the muffler and header connected.

Oh, and my idea of a glove box using a Glock box.

rear panel made, oil cooler mounted.

How did I miss this thread....that thing is going to be silly fun. Awesome job so far!

 

[Franknbeans]

Thanks! It's been challenging, but fun.

 

[Franknbeans]

Had to get the exhaust done before I could fit my panels... So... The weather finally broke, I bought a trailer and hauled the Busa down to get the exhaust finished.

Hate, HATE, header wrap... man that fiberglass gets everywhere. But it needed done.

Panels powdercoated and fitted. Time to move forward.

It's really comming along. Looks good.

Nice work!
