Jamies Fe3 Van Project

[Fe3-Van]

It just in its early stages atm
Going for a N/A setup for a start on a standard hi comp Fe3 motor out of a mazda capella being run buy a megasquirt ecu.
Now iv picked up a daily driver I can get cracking on it
First up will be taking the motor out of the van then raping and pillaging the capella of its motor plus anything else of value before sending it to the great pickapart in the sky

the van in its current state


the capella and its heart of gold

Nice! I for one am looking forward to seeing some progress on this thing :-) DIY EFI FTW ;-)

That's going to be a killer Bongo Sad to see a fine wagon going to the wreckers though...

Sleeper for sure!

[Fe3-Van]

went to pickapart and there were some bluebird rims with new tyres for $180 so I got them, also go a cas and coilpacks out of a galant which I will mod to run in the van

[Fred]

That CAS looks exactly like the "DSM" ones that you see pictures of around the net. How do you intend to extend the drive to it? I had wondered about machining the head back a bunch to save space, perhaps that CAS is a candidate for such a mod? I can't remember if that idea is feasible or not though.

Keep up the good work, oh and, nice video! :

A very good effort considering your clutch is almost totally gone!

im not sure yet on how I will get it to fit the fe3 pickup but im sure something can be sorted, or just use the cas parts on the fe3s dizzy base maybe

[Fred]

Yeah, the only thing you actually need from it is the cover tin and the nut/washer, the rest the fe3 stuff is the same/better anyway.

[Fred]

If you find that the CAS won't fit the van, you could engineer a custom CAS thats more compact like this one :



I'm intending to emulate this guys as I think it's pretty cool!

Fred.

[Fe3-Van]

is that the whole cas setup with the signal wire running out the center?
