I'm not a big NOS guy, so I'll say the same as the other guys - start with the porting and turbo and go from there.

But at least you're going with a wet system and a shot less than 100, so you're doing nos as intelligently and safely as I think you can.

It should be a beast and make a ton of power. Do you have a high-flow oil pump for that engine? You also might want to think of getting your front cover drilled and tapped so that you can put an S4 water pump in there, it flows more and suffers cavitation less.

I assume you have a nice front-mount oil cooler and a tall rad to deal with the heat that will be generated by your beast? What are you running for a fan?

yup im covered there im using an external semi truck oil pump half the cost from aeromotive, im not running a front mount but i do have the semi truck NPR front mount intercooler. Im not using for a couple of reasons. Weight, takes up space, and im running alcohol. Im not running nos just yet. Going with a blow through carb 750 double pumper mechanic seconds, and yes it has been modded for boost.

Thumbs up Couple of pics

This pics show the damn tension bolts dirty as hell!!! Got oil and grime and all kinds of stuff on them

Here im using that big *** angle grinder with hard brissles to clean the bolts up really good!!!


Final product, in all it took about 1hr, but i like my stuff clean on every rebuild, and it's the same way i do, and clean every customers rebuild. time and patience

Next are the rotors the one on the left is before the one on the right is after


Final product

Notice the race bearings those are two yrs old from just drag racing!!! There still in very good shape, but i will not use them. I bought new race bearings just been lazy trying to get them pressed in.

I can't take the credit on those ports that was done by manny three years ago. Im just going to polish them up port a little bit more and line them up even. I don't feel like taking a turbo block apart to port.

You see the turbo mani was for my rx2 that i just shipped out to florida this past weekend, and he/she can peep that thread by clicking the link in my sig. What i plan on doing there is cutting the pipe and routing it backwards. After that its problem solved.

Angry More Updates!!!

Okay so today I was able to use one of the Motor mounts that wackyracer gave me for an FB 1st gen body. As i mentioned above I accidently threw out my mazda trix motor mount to allow a 13b motor to fit into a 12a chassis. No biggie with a little bit of hammering on the FB motor mount and some bending here and some bending there She came together like cocain and waffles.





In these pics i took out my battery tray, complete wire harness and whatever the hell was left of interior including the dash... Enjoy...Oh not sure if im running that fuel cell yet i bought it for this setup but with in place of where it might go... im thinking i might go to a smaller tank....
