Project: "Street Terror!" RHD converted ITR turbo w/ supercharger!!

Just what everybody needed to see, another ITR thread!!! :banghead:
What can I say, I just love this car and kit. I am not sure how I will do the supercharger yet but the turbo is already in the works, since I have never seen a RHD conversion the right way, I feel like attempting my own. as you can see in the pics I switched positions of the battery and the clutch and brake m.cylinders. I am going for a lot of detail in the engine bay also including engine mounts and other parts left off the original. and since I have never attempted scissor doors or even opening doors for that matter I will be trying it on this kit. I am building this out of the Revell ITR spare parts box I have left over from the prior 8 kits I have purchased. I am not sure on the final look yet but I will be doing a body kit a drag style wing all painted red. other than that I do not know how this will turn out......hope you enjoy.

Yeah i know who you are talking about (I can't remember his name though). I just built a Lightning also but I love how the SC is setup on it and I do not think I can bring my self to use it. Besides, I think I can build one with enough reference pics, I am currently thinking of ways to replicate the "fins" the supercharger has on it. I think if I can figure that out then I can build one pretty easy after that.

Its looking great so far! The doors look pretty good. The turbo charger looks good too.

Didnt you attempt a RHD conversion on your del Sol about 8months ago?

Not quite, I actuallly concerted a RHD dash to LHD on the delsol, this time is alot different and pretty involved.

Have you already done the RHD conversion? In the pictures I cant tell if:
A) thats a dash from another kit
B) You just flipped the picture
C) You have already completed the operation

If thats the modified dash in the pictures, you did a hell of a job. I never would have guessed you had already modified it, looks factory built.

That's the Fujimi ITR RHD dash isn't it Mean? I did this already, however, I didn't move the battery, clutch and brake stuff, because not too many people would know anyway. Mines Ford racing blue (baby in color) gloss black hood, HB Civic wheels (thanks antonio) with a turbo the size of the tranny...can you say llllaaaaagggggg?

To answer some questions:

nice not bad, tell me the doors will work?
I plan on making the doors work, I have yet to figure out exactly how I will design the hinges: I guess I need to talk to customminatures for advice?

Have you already done the RHD conversion? In the pictures I cant tell if:
A) thats a dash from another kit
B) You just flipped the picture
C) You have already completed the operation

I stole it from my curbside ITR (fujimi I think) and had to sand a bit of the edges since it is a bit wider than the fujimi version.

looks damn good man! in a bit, im sure b4 u get to that part, i am building hinges for lambo doors! i can send u a set if u would like! might be a bit tho. after that i plan to cast them and sell! awesome work so far and good luck on the sc!

I would not mind seeing how you did your lambo hinges but if not I will figure something out! And as of last night I was able to find a base to build my SC with!!!

your the man, this is gonna be sweet, although i never understood why you would do the rhd conversion on the usdm ITR if it has the usdm headlights? :skrewy:

Becuase I have not seen it attempted like I am doing it and the engine bay looks more realistic in the Revell scale, if I stuffed the motor into the fujimi ITR it would look small due to the scale differences. besides I just felt inspired to do the round headlight version.

Looks nice though I would love to see pics that are more clear. I remember your thread, after seeing all the RHD cars in super street and other magazines I have just been inspired to replicate one as much as I can pull off. I think maybe even Subconsciously your ITR thread helped motivate me to build mine, who knows :dunno:

Well I finally got the SC built! sorry the pics are so crappy, I am just not taking pictures when the light is right :mad: But for the most part you can see what I have done. I went with the jackson racing SC style but w/o the name representation. I still need to add a fuel rail and more detail all before cleaning it up and painting. how is it coming along????

hey for hinges, try useing a piece of metal thicker then a pepr clip but not to much, and create a U bend in it and make the U bend go upwards and mount it on the wipe area inside, some how liek that. start with a U bend

Well I finally figured out the lambo door setup, paper clips work wonders!!! the hinge was totally different that I had originally planned but it works beautifully, I may post a tutorial later on but I am not sure how this would work with any other models since I have not tried it yet.
this project is definetely taking more time than I 1st thought but thats cool. right now I am trying to design a front end that justs fits with this car and I am a little stuck, hopefully it will come to me soon, till then here are more pics.

Well I have finally started back on my ITR project. I have finally settled down enough after moving that I have been able to refocus again.
The door jams are really time consuming to make them look convincing and I still do not know exactly how the body kit will look before I am done. I am just making it up as I go along.

Like I said earlier, looks great. Also, its good to see someone put effort into good looking, realistic doors. Most people cut them open and glue on the interior panel, glue hinges, and be done with it; well not most, a few of them. Your doors are excellent!!!

I'm very impressed with the putty work!
It looks like you even made new window sills(on body) after cutting the doors out. That's just nutty!
I think the front end is very cool. It kind of reminds me a Saleen S7??
Rear wing looks appropriate with rest of the body kit too.
I like your style, it's not too wild!

Well I finally have some more progress photos. this car has been quite time consuming, it seems sometimes that I am barely making progress at all. I can't wait until it comes together enough to start putting the whees on it and the interior in. The body kit is almost done, I may add someything to the front, not sure yet?? maybe a CF diffuser that wraps aroung the entire front?? any suggestions on the body kit at this point will be greatly appreciated!! I am still not sure if this is the wing for this car or not?? any input???

this one is a little blurry but you get the idea.

Thanks, the wing is actually just sitting there right now to see how it flows with the body. If it ends up staying on the car I will definetely have to make it blend with the car, probably by laying a strip of styrene on the trunk in between the spoiler mounts, basically like the WRX it came off of. thanks for all the interest in the project. who knows I may even add latches like GTmike400 suggested, i have thought about just not decided yet.

two questions:

-what did you do to build your supercharger? :dunno:-for the part of the SC that has fins I used a piece from an old hot SC I had in my parts box, the pulley part I actually used the input shaft off a 4x4 differential and the pulley was easy, I just cut the right section out of styrene rod.

-why turbo and supercharger? realistically, if that were even possible, the engine mgmt issues would be torturous! -But I like your style- :iceslolan---Realistically it is very possible but you are right, the tuning would be a nightmare. It's a good thing I don't have to start this motor once its done, huh :rolleyes: j/k.

it IS realistic, because i've actually seen a car with both a supercharger and a turbo
you know about turbo's lag right ? well with both of them you dont have it anymore, the supercharger boosts you up as soon as you hit the gas pedal, then when the big turbo spools up, the supercharger stops itself.

guys that did this prolly had HARD times setting this up, but they did it.

Jurva
08-01-2004, 12:58 PM
For turbo and supercharger, I would build it like this.
Supercharger wakes up the turbo. Like they are in series.
Other way around i think that turbo would push too much boost for the charger.

I could draw a picture tomorrow.

Jurva
08-04-2004, 07:40 AM
Here is a drawing that i made. As you can see, air goes from filter to charger and trough turbo and intercooler to manifold.

Normally charger puts something like 8 psi and turbo 28 psi.

"IMO the doors, when opening, should go up and angle towards the center of the nose of the car... "

I'm not quite sure what you mean, I saw the HB you have with doors that open similiar to mine but they came away from the body more, is that what you mean???

Excellent job bending the IC/intake piping! Very smooth.
Are the heat stains from bending over an open flame or something more subtle?

I just used my classic ol' bic lighter to bend them. Does not take much to persuade them where I want them.

The engine bay is finally painted so now I can really make some progress on this thing. I still have alot of detail to add but most of the parts are already built and painted, I just needed the engine bay painted before I could continue. More progress will be very soon to follow. I also have to move the BOV over since it is hitting the distributer, other than that it is coming along nicely.

I have but this one on the back burner for the past few weeks because I noticed a little more body work needed than I originally thought. I was so close to painting the car (so I thought) and then just got frustrated and picked up some of my less custom kits to mess with for a while. I will pick up the project again soon but I am moving sp It will be around december maybe when I post more progress, thanks for following the project as I will finish it sometime in the near future I hope.

Well I am finally over the hump of modelers block I had for a while and I figured out the front end, now I just have to clean it up and move to the back bumper next since it to was a problem. Sorry the pic of the engine turned out so blurry I will definetely have a better one posted soon .

I can't believe all I did was add little wings to the front and it made that much of a difference.

Wow, I can't beleive it has been over a year since I have posted progress on this one. Well I guess the new year has been an inspiration to finish some of my back burner projects with this one being at the top of that list. the doors are a bitch to fit right with the hinges in place but I want them to line up when they are closed so I can display it open or closed w/o worry. The rear bumper is a new one since the old one I had just did not work well because the vents were not even on both sides and it was way to much work to fix. Since the basic body kit is in place now all around all I really need to focus on is makeing it all even so I can paint it in the next fews months (I hope).

Well here are the pics of it as it stands right now:

Man do I hope your right!!!

Thanks alot, that is pretty much why I pulled this one out of hiding. I fell like I added more detail to this one than any other of my builds all though my current CRX build is becoming a close rival IMO.

Wow! Great job with the body work, the RHD conversion is great, and the supercharger looks fantastic! Is the radiator scratchbuilt or just modified?

Keep it up, I really want to see this one....

I can't believe you put a supercharge and a turbo charger on it looks cool although IMO too much for a 4banger looks cool none the less I was thinkin bout makin a twin turbo hatch with big azz t4 turbos combining cylinders 1 and 4 and 2 and 3, that'll spool quick, prob no real bottem end power though so you gotta add the super charger haha nevermind all this junk I said, cool car I like the bodykit also

I am kind off on the same page as you but I wanted to try something Different with this bumper so when it is done hopefully it will look as sweet. I thought of makeing another rear bumper like the first one but just had to try the one I went with (modified from '93 Civic tuner kit).

Wow! Great job with the body work, the RHD conversion is great, and the supercharger looks fantastic! Is the radiator scratchbuilt or just modified?

It's just modified for the hood latch, the rad support is already molded to the body..... the REX I am building has a scratchbuilt rad support.
