Re: My 1974 REPU Project

Finally some worth updates! First off, BIG THANKS for Eric and Matt who helped me get the engine and trans dropped in the REPU! Thanks a million guys! Overall, the process was pretty straightforward and no one lost a finger. Matt and I lowered the engine in while Eric lined up the transmission from ...

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

Not many updates as the REPU stalled out during the holidays due to lack of funds and just plain being too busy to find any time to wrench. Planning on getting back on track by getting the engine dropped in either this weekend or the next. I was also planning on running stock twin turbos, but I'm st...

Re: Build thread

That new FEED kit looks pretty tits.

It's crazy that the last FD's were made just over 14.5 years ago and companies are still churning out new parts for them. That's awesome!

I want a splitter for the REPU!! Although that would be a little tricky with the oil cooler scope.

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

Yep, it's right next to the oil pressure sensor. It's very small so it's easy to miss. The threads are 1/8 BPT, which is really close to NPT but not quite. LMS-EFI has an adapter on their site. I also found one on eBay for about $6. Unless you just use the stock sensor, I'm not sure what kind of co...

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

Is there a coolant sensor port on the rear iron? I thought it was just oil press/temp? I think the stock temp gauge has a sensor there perhaps...I could use that and that would be perfect. No updates as of yet...waiting for parts and time. Weather is cold and snow is preventing me from getting the e...

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

Alright, Haven't updated in a while, been busy with other things lately and got REALLY discouraged with numerous setbacks with the REPU. It basically all revolves around the engine and timing/crank trigger setup. So, to recap, I'm running a 13B-REW engine from an FD, which has it's motor mounts on t...

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

Alright, finally got stuff solved. Eduardo- you're right, the wheel I have lines up on top of the main pulley, whereas the FD pulley is behind. Besides, there is no way to bolt the trigger wheel to the FD main pulley. The sensor bracket wouldn't line up for an FD trigger wheel. So I use the REPU pul...

Re: Build thread

Do the studs still use the o-rings like the tension bolts? If not then that would certainly cause a leak like that.

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

LOL So minor hiccup: The FFE trigger wheel doesn't fit the REW front hub, so I swapped to the REPU front hub and it fits! Sweet, right? Except now the FD crank pulley doesn't fit...grrrr. So looking at FFE's website the REW trigger wheel is flat, and mine is bolted to wheel/gear thingy. I need the R...

Re: My 1974 REPU Project

Mostly because 1 ) I have a REPU front cover just sitting here not doing anything for free, and 2 ) GSL-SE covers are about $300-$500 USED and that's if you can find em. For me, there really no reason to run one as my REPU cover is fine and spending crazy $ for a GSL-SE cover poses no benefit as I'm...
