In this thrilling episode of Rob Dahm, the team embarks on a heart-pounding mission to shoehorn a monstrous 20b engine into the iconic FD RX7. With the precision of a surgeon, they tackle the automatic bell housing, crafting a bespoke adapter for the xclutch piece to ensure a seamless fit. The devil is in the details as they meticulously adjust the casting thickness, opting for cost-effective casting over traditional Billet material for a complex yet robust solution. Every cut, every weld, is a step towards perfection as they center the motor and fine-tune the drivetrain components for maximum performance.
Amidst the clang of metal and the crackle of welding, the team grapples with challenges like starter placement and hydraulic bearing intricacies, all in the pursuit of automotive excellence. The workshop buzzes with energy as they navigate the complexities of bump steer, McMaster Car expeditions, and the elusive hunt for FD Parts. The transformation of the FD RX7 is a symphony of engineering ingenuity, from adjusting ride height to reimagining the subframe for enhanced aerodynamics. With a nod to modern technology, 3D printing becomes their ally in testing and refining the power steering setup, a crucial component in the high-octane world of performance vehicles.
As the project unfolds, the team's meticulous attention to detail shines through in every aspect, from the steering rack modifications to the cooling system upgrades. The roar of the engine is matched only by the team's determination to overcome obstacles and push the boundaries of what's possible in automotive customization. With a blend of artistry and engineering prowess, they sculpt a vision of automotive perfection, where form meets function in a harmonious dance of power and precision. The FD RX7 emerges not just as a car, but as a testament to the relentless pursuit of automotive greatness, a true masterpiece in the making.
