iizuka's B2200 - Update: IRS installed! Sorta...

PM sent.

The progress I made this holiday weekend

Finished welding and applied a coat of paint to protect them:

It didn't turn out too bad. LH side:

RH side:


Then to the transmission mount. I wanted to used the stock Skyline mount. More work then I thought...

B22 crossmember on the bottom, skyline's on top:

Some "engineering" going on:

All welded up:

And the final product after a coat of paint:

Bolted right on

I had to cut the tunel for the shifter, I took it apart and fliped the lever 180 degrees so it would be slanted forward and give me more room. I'm glad I can keep my recently reupholsted bench seat

Everything fits, including AC compressor and power steering:

Not much room between the PS pulley and the AC condenser, definately no room for a fan there. That's my dilema, I would have to put a push type fan in front of the condenser, but if I do, there's not enough room for a good intercooler...

It looks like it belongs there

I am amazed that the front sagged so little with the RB instead of the 4 banger. I did not change the adjusters and it only dropped about 3/8"

Next I have to get rid of all of this and start the installation of my RX7 IRS. Lots and lots of work to do...

When I put my V8 in, the front only came down about 3/4 to 1 inch.
I was surprised as well.

Bad ass man looks great and should be really fun to ride in... One day soon I'll have top ride up and check it out... One more week on getting mine back together and running again. Still trying to save up for the tranny Keep up the great work..

Thanks man. Come on check it out and get that RX7 transmission out of my garage!

Sin, what V8 did you swap in again, was it a full iron long block? I tried to find your build thread but I failed...

If you guys need, or know anyone who needs B2200 EFI parts, I have a bunch laying around. Complete motor (w/ AC compressor, Power Steering pump, alternator, starter, etc), transmission, fuel tank, rear axle and more.

I only know of you two somewhat nearby, so maybe you guys can help me out getting rid of these things

Man that thing is looking good. Can't wait to see a video.

Very nice, i'm tuned in for the results as well.

Nice work man, I'm digging all the fab work you have done.

Will do soon.. i might could use your B2200 alternator too just to keep around for a spare.. What you think you would take for it?

Thanks fellas, I appreciate it!

Hottopic: not much, we'll talk when you get here
