Wow, your engine is hosted by Tripod!

If you do Properties on the picture, then cut and paste the link, you can see 'em.

Anyhow, looks good! Boy, your engine bay looked ROUGH before! Was it an engine fire or something?

What did you paint the bay with, and how did you do it? I just finished mine - pics here:

Dale,

I getting close to purchase that Greddy emanage. When are you going to have an installation guide and maps for that thing

Also what injectors are you going to use for those. 4 720's?

p.s I might have a shop make me a tubular manifold to fit a custom Turbo. Are those really better then the HKS ones??

To start with, I'm going to be using the stock 550's and 2 extra 460cc injectors. I'll probably upgrade to all 720's at some point in the future.

IMHO, get the HKS manifold. Custom tubular headers, unless they're made VERY well, will crack with the heat and load placed on them. You can get into the 400hp range on the HKS manifold, and it's bulletproof, and it's DIRT cheap - I really don't see a reason to run anything else, short of super-mega horsepower requirements.

Well as far as the tubular manifold goes the shop owner has one on his car. He says the manifold flows tenfold better?
It is like $300 more.

I wish my engine was as clean as yours
Thanks dale.

Dam 720's are expensive. I was looking at all four but Rx7.com fuel calculator suggest it might have idle etc problems.
